Pay 10/mo for a seedbox, it derisks your life and is extremely handy. On most sites, you can download batch torrents freeleech and then get your ratio up by leaving those seeding for a while. I use this box for a bunch of stuff so I don't feel like I'm paying just for torrents

Seems fair when the same companies pilfer public goods like physical infrastructure and our internet privacy.

It is indeed a list, though not everyone will use it the same way!

>I have a sneaking suspicion that people are having some agent check out 500 repos and just prompting with “find a bug in this repo and fix it” and submitting the results blindly.

This is unironically suggested as a way to 'get in the door' both in bootcamps and 'spammy' universities.

Well one is already disliked as an associate of an active war criminal. That's a given. Evading taxes probably falls low on his list of actual crimes.

The other we expect to oversee these kinds of things. Considering they do accounting for a quarter of the worlds rich and largest businesses, this should raise alarms as to what else they're fudging.

I just went to Asbury Park, NJ about a month ago. It was all local highschool/college kids. I go to an ice cream shop in Brooklyn by a park - all highschoolers.

I think it just depends on the location? But also yes - if I'm worth my salt, why would I take these jobs over higher paying internships? At 19 I was able to land $25/h jobs in tech. Maybe we should rethink the pay scales in terms of sustainability. Unfortunately we live in the US where short term gains are the sole motivator for most companies.

Without the expertise needed to evaluate this information, it really reads like a "business KPIs have gone up! All is well!"-type communication. Their ability to spout technical jargon at scale is like a firehose that no one can really consume. I'm losing trust in any announcement of LLMs having 'solved' anything novel at this point.

Infuriating. These organizations are supposed to be stewards of the internet and are instead pillaging it at the cost of everyone else. At the very least they could provide resources to the projects they are harming for relief. This makes me very mad as an OSS maintainer.

your agent can be running on your machine, at the same cost as running the PC you're already on. Agents != subscription services

We've stopped upgrading the models of our classification workflows for >1 year at this point, meaning they're running acceptably on early/mid-2025 models. That said I believe there is a long tail of non-production-ized users who throw this into their everyday LLM chats.

Vagueposting is a new term online for this kind of behavior - it stems from people getting absolutely destroyed online for various opinions, resulting in people not feeling safe to say what they really mean. Sometimes it's hateful opinions, sometimes it isn't. The end result is people will become unable to simply state their opinions and we won't be able to pick apart people with terrible ideas from the good ones, because no one wants to talk!

Because they respond to HN threads about their products? Which are likely Claude hooks monitoring for activity in the first place? Come on...

At least make an argument for switching vendors based on the quality or price of their service.

I think you're giving these files too much credit. There are no specs, they are freeform text. In this sense they are the same. The expectation of what could be in it by each vendor means nothing unless it's enforced.
