Some of these fonts and transitions I like a lot, but sometimes it feels like there are a few too many fonts on screen.

It has a plaintext version which I appreciate (though I wish it were actual plaintext instead off formatted html with the aesthetics of plaintext)

I opened it, it told me it was impossible to build a house in california for less than 350K, i closed it

Same. And I'm not even focused on whether this is a reasonable number or not. The quoted tweet also says "But our politicians would rather spend that on genocide." And I'm asked to evaluate whether this is "accurate" with a thumbs up or thumbs down. (According to Mentwire, it is not accurate). So I'm evaluating both the cost of housing the homeless, but also whether politicians would rather fund genocide. So, this seems like it is not really an intellectual CAPTCHA, but rather an ideological CAPTCHA.

And just to disclose my biases, I would tend to believe that $350k is an absurdly high figure and that politicians are obviously not holding a vote where they are forced to choose between ending homelessness and funding genocide. But I believe that people who disagree with me can be considered intelligent and not "too dumb to pass an intellectual CAPTCHA".

Let's assume that the tweet is proposing to spend $10 billion per year to end homelessness in the entire US, since it contrasts it with genocide which is clearly a national objective not a local one.

A quick Google gives on the order of 1 million homeless people in the US. That's $10k per person per year which is the correct order of magnitude for the price of housing someone.

I believe OP missed the "per year" in the tweet that's why they are comparing to house prices rather than the yearly cost of housing, which is obviously much smaller because houses last longer than 1 year.

Perhaps the test was that if you finish the test you haven't passed it.

Seriously. And not even to build a house, but to make a single person not homeless. Give me a break.

There was a healthcare strike that ended this month which counts as added jobs iirc

Good callout. I didn't take that into account.

There is a CORS preflight check for POST requests that don't use form-encoding. It would be somewhat surprising if these weren't using JSON (though it wouldn't be that surprising if they were parsing submitted JSON instead of actually checking the MIME-type which would probably be bad anwyay)

Sure, but if I want to host my static files on a website where they are easily cached... cloudflare also offers this product?

Isn’t the horrendous ethical and legal decision delegating your hiring process to a black box?

> ethical and legal decision

These are two very different things. I suspect that in some cases pointing finger at a black box instead of actually explaining your decisions can actually shield you from legal liability...

For some proponents, AI is liability washing

It seems like ai generated stuff to me, the whole history is eerily identical

The llm accusations go out of hand nowadays. Cant see any typical AI slop here.

"gives real memory and IPC wins" is AI phrasing. So is the colon followed by tricolon.

Pangram is pretty reliable and shows 100% AI.

it pays less but it's very nice.

By what means did you make sure your LLM was not trained with data from the original source code?

Exactly - it very likely was trained on it. I tried this with Opus 4.6. I turned off web searches and other tool calls, and asked it to list some filenames it remembers being in the 7-zip repo. It got dozens exactly right and only two incorrect (they were close but not exact matches). I then asked it to give me the source code of a function I picked randomly, and it got the signature spot on, but not the contents.

My understanding of cleanroom is that the person/team programming is supposed to have never seen any of the original code. The agent is more like someone who has read the original code line by line, but doesn't remember all the details - and isn't allowed to check.

Because it’s written in an entirely different language, which makes this whole point moot

Surely if I took a program written in Python and translated it line for line into JavaScript, that wouldn't allow me to treat it as original work. I don't see how this solves the problem, except very incrementally.

but it’s not a line for line translation. it is a functionality for functionality translation, and sometimes very differently.

I don’t think you have to go from here to planned economy straight away. There are capital gains taxes between the current level and 100% which might produce better outcomes.
