I do and always will belive this phrase to be wage suppression propaganda. I think the proof is self evident. ie salaries.

I guess we just hallucinated leet code too.

Thanks for that info. I was certain it was some janky ultra low or negative reward system that people just click a random answer to get through.

Had to be since their site lists no way to be a tester. In other words their service is a bunch of 7-13 year olds playing some loot box game.

Wonder where that is in the disclaimers.

As normal HN shows that "power structures" completely eludes them as a group.

Here is why lie detectors exist.

1. They are legal. 2. Abusive interrogation of US citizens is not legal.

A polygraph is a risk assessment. If you break under completely safe sanctioned questions. You are gonna spill everything if someone from the others side is questioning you.

This person could have just shown up and shrugged for X hrs and they would have had no more than 1 polygraph every 10 years. Instead they kept doing exactly what the test is concerned about. How easy are you to break? Which is why they kept getting more and more tests. They were considered high risk.

You are 100% correct, people as a whole don't really care. I can prove it, Excel exists. Not only does it exist but a huge chunk of the world runs on it.

I've see every kind of wrong actively in production and 99/100 times no one cared enough to fix it. Even when it was losing money.

>The age of actually finishing side projects is here

This is a really good summary of how I've experienced AI put into words. I'm not really sure how this can be monetized though.

I'm not going to burn $200-1k per day on agents to do some side projects that have been on the back burner. The only reason I'm doing it now is the heavily subsidized or free available models all over the place.

I'm paying 10 dollars per month on GitHub Copilot. Gives access to good enough models. Not best, but great value for money.

https://hackernews.hn/item?id=46936105 Billing can be bypassed using a combo of subagents with an agent definition

> "Even without hacks, Copilot is still a cheap way to use Claude models"

I'm paying for claude max which is 90 euros a month. It's just enough for my needs. I typically run 2 agents in parallel and seldom run out of tokens.

Oh, I think I misunderstood. Do you mean if we paid the real cost of the compute it would be the numbers you mention?

Yes, AI companies are bleeding money with current pricing. Your AI usage is heavily subsidized by investor dollars.

Better take the opportunity then and have it build good stuff while it lasts. :)

HN Really hates understanding business. All these comments, yet no one has gotten the answer right.

OpenAI bought marketing and now someone else cannot buy openclaw and lock out Openai revenue from a project that is gaining momentum.

There are a many of these business moves that seem like nonsense.

1. Bought for marketing.

2. Adversarial hire. ie hire highly skilled people before your competitors can even if you don't have anything for them do to. Yet...

3. Acqu-hire. Buy a company when you really just want some of the staff.

4. Buy Customers. You don't care about the product and intend to migrate their customers to your system.

5. Buy competition before its a threat.

How do you deal with the cost associated with a long running opus session? I asked it to validate some JSON configs against the spec yesterday and it burned $10 worth of tokens for what would have been a 1 millisecond linter task.

I'm on the $200/month Claude Max plan and I rarely run out of my token allowance.

I'm also paying $20/month for OpenAI Codex and again it's rare I hit the rate limits there.

> Renting a private room was possible on nearly any wage 50 years ago

I think others pointed this out but I don't think you can find any data to prove this because its not true.

I'm not a historian but I have seen a number of old movies and in those movies it was very common for the characters to be some poor schlub with a full time job at the factory living in some sort of group home/flophouse situation. Movies tend to reflect stories that resonate with the public at the time so I suspect that is because this was a common situation. I'd much prefer a single roommate in an apartment to a flophouse.

50 years ago was 1976. I would be surprised if large numbers of adults in 1976 in the US were living in the same room as other adults, unless they were romantically involved.

Facebook admits around 10% of their ads are fraudulent. I think it's much higher.

The scam is even larger than you see and exploits missing children reports. There are huge automated scam networks that post missing children reports then get people to share them. Then once the post/ad gets traction they change it to a listing of a house that is auto pulled from public information. They then use that to scam people.

PleasantGreen has a series on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uud0wTAOxSc

A leaked Facebook document showed they know which ads are fraudulent because the ad system is programmed to never show those ads to the ad regulators, and it's most of the ads.

Any source for this?

What is the point of listing a house that isn’t for sale, though?

To scam people out of some made up fee. Application fee, filing fee, holding fee, reservation fee., whatever BS they can get someone to send them a few bucks for since it's all free money to them.

Probably collecting application fees from people interested in renting it.
