I mean, it's a nice font but that's a bit steep. The site thinks I'm from Mongolia for whatever reason, I don't even have a VPN on atm.

this is a very clever concept. I'll keep it in mind for the future - when my app site has persistent amount of visitors. Are there some rules/settings for stop words to prevent some types of abuse? Or is it planned?

Thanks!! :D Yes there is already rules/settings to stop words and ban people. I'm also improving overall moderation and banning mechanisms.

it did jump up but in my experience Codex is still better than GH Copilot pricing for the same model(s). I'm hoping after this price bump, they will start undercutting each other eventually and get it back to some more reasonable pricing model.

But the discounted prices only exist because of endless VC fundraising, right? I’m no expert, but I don’t reckon they’re sustainable without substantial outside funding. It seems akin to hoping uber would go back to charging like $8 to bring you to the airport in a limousine if competition compelled them to — going out of business would be the more likely outcome.

yes and no. Ai models become more efficient (I've seen a comparison somewhere). So even if the prices stay the same, usage could go down. Also, in the uber example, there's no free alternative, unlike ai models. I'm yet to try qwen and some others though, so can't vouch for them.

But that doesn’t seem like it would be them undercutting each other, per se. And to me it looks like most people are saying the number of tokens used per task just keeps going up, and on top of that, monthly plan pricing seems to be going away. I think we hit the summit of peak discount a few months ago, now they’re being forced to be more financially independent approaching their IPOs, and I just don’t see any factor feasibly forcing costs down after the subsidies go away. SpaceX had the rest of SpaceX to take the pressure off XAI being a money furnace, but what do OpenAI and Anthropic have?

+1 for codex (have moved to it from claude code; and am quite happy about it); but i do hope they keep pricing affordable and consistent

this is an unexpected twist to photographic assignments. I'm wondering why is it limited to SF only? I mean, there shouldn't be a limitation from a technical point of view. Do you plan to extend it?

I'd say this leads to the dark side, but he's already there. It just won't happen.

some cool features there, like collections

"such a good ship, shame if anything happened to it"

unless something niche, no. It's not like we are going back to cpp pointers and memory management.

some beautiful effects and good ideas. My favs are iterations 8, 20, 25

reminds me of this quote "There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now."
