Second thing: interchange fees are not the only fees that your typical store has to pay, the total fees are much higher. I think the EU essentially capped Visa/Mastercard profit in the EU, more than they capped small business fees for card payment.
I know is editorialized, but a more accurate title to this content would be either :
Models Are Getting Ignorant on Purpose
or
Models Are Getting Less Knowledgeable on Purpose
It makes me wonder if the model is the limit here or if it's the harness: e.g. give GPT 5.6 or Fable a team of 20 people that can easily interact with the real world and let it do whatever in order to "make a breakthrough" in physics; do you think it would manage to?
There is also this paragraph in their licence that is smart marketing-wise:
> 3. If the Software (or any derivative works thereof) is used for any of the Licensee's commercial products or services that have more than 100 million monthly active users, or more than 20 million US dollars (or equivalent in other currencies) in monthly revenue, "Kimi K3" must be prominently displayed on the user interface of such product or service.
I saw arguments like "Providers cannot price less than their costs" in other comments. In economics, it's generally admitted that they shouldn't price less than their marginal costs, i.e. in their case roughly the cost of electricity, since a lot of these datacenters are not at capacity in terms of graphics cards usage (speculation since it's very easy to rent a GC for a couple hours on some providers). My guess is that someone will be selling tokens at less than electricity + depreciation of GCs soon, since there's a lot of competition and "smaller" data centers have overcapacity? This is speculation, correct me if I'm wrong
More seriously, I was blindly trusting the auto-classifier from claude code (same as the middle option when you do `/permissions` in codex), and it actually allowed the agent to do pretty hardcore `rm` and `git push --force-with-lease` commands, which I would have expected to have to approve manually. Luckily no major issue from those yet.
The best option imo is the integrated cloud environments from claude code (not sure yet if there's a codex equivalent). It spawns a VM in the cloud where the agent runs, and you can open a PR from the app when it's done. Very smooth experience
Which model is the best at the moment, for this kind of stuff, in your experience?
Assuming I take the 5x plan it would give me about an hour of active sessions with terra ultra (maybe ultra is not good value regarding tokens?), not even using Sol yet. Does everyone using codex use the 200$ plan?
I normally use the 100$ anthropic plan and barely ever reach the usage limit.
There seems to be an insane amount of competition in the "Intelligent Document Processing" market, like for instance parseur, whose founder is often on HN himself.
What do you think sets you apart from competition like : 1) Mistral document AI : depending on the model, it looks way cheaper than yours, OCR model pricing ranges from 0.001 to 0.004 EUR / page and they have structured output wired in the OCR API if needed (things then get fed to one of their LLMs) + EU-based and GDPR ready 2) parseur / rossum / docsumo / nanonets (which is YC 2017) ?
The video made me think of Peter Turchin's "End Times", a book that I recommend, for whatever it's worth, to you anonymous internet fellows. The book talks about many of the same arguments, and adds more. Its main thesis is that the author studied hundreds of major crises that led to war/poverty/revolutions etc., and the one thing all these events have in common is the excess of people that are willing to be part of the elite. He calls that the overproduction of elites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_overproduction.
