>We hired 1,053 paid testers through a research vendor for a coding study.

>The testers caught the dangerous command just 13.6% of the time (143 of 1,053), while auto mode blocked 89% of the same commands (937 of 1,053). Head to head, auto mode blocked 800 commands that a human approved, while humans blocked only 6 that auto mode allowed. As sessions got longer, humans did worse: they blocked about 17% of dangerous commands early in a session, dropping to about 5% after 50 or more prior prompts, while auto mode's block rate stayed flat regardless of session length.

Any note on the proficiency, expeirence, and skill levels of the testers? 'cos the diff in numbers is absurdly high.

Not related, but, I can't seem to get my copilot-cli (office is an MS shop) use qwen3.5:27b on ollama for some odd reason.

After the recent changes to usage, I've spent an annoyingly long number of hours trying to get this to work.

I'd be interested in the RCA and the fix; and what the human:ai involvement is in both stages.

This has become a very common occurrence; might be the only sustainable path forward for projects and maintainers. Win-win for all parties involved.

My comment was more centered around the UX of UPI. But to address your point, there is a separate app for tourists called UPI One World, works as a digital wallet and the UX is similar.

If they can make it as seamless as UPI, that would be incredible. UPI, imo, is the pinnacle of ease of internet payments - as seamless and quick as it can get.

Idk, just feels so counter sometimes to build and refine these (seemingly non-deterministic) tools to build deterministic workflows & get the most productivity out of them.

This is doing more to keep me away from "vibe coding" than anything else. Look, I'm genuinely interested in using AI as a tool and trying to boost my productivity in any way possible - I equate this to activities from the past like learning shortcuts of my editor, learning to type fast, and so on - but, the almost persuasive nature of this README, just pushes me away.

Not to mention using lines of code as a metric of usability is just _whatever_.

Too many cases that can't be solved for with this imo; vandalism, accidents, range anxiety(?) - seems too ideal

Here's o1-preview after thinking for 7 seconds,

> As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, Paul Edwin Zimmer did not publish a fourth novel in the Dark Border series. The series comprises three books: > 1. The Lost Prince (1982) > 2. King Chondos' Ride (1982) > 3. A Gathering of Heroes (1987) > > Paul Edwin Zimmer had plans to continue the series, but he passed away in 1997 before any additional novels were completed or published. There have been no posthumous releases of a fourth Dark Border novel. If there have been developments after October 2023, I recommend checking recent publications or official announcements for the most up-to-date information.

My skepticism still primarily resides in the cost scaling component of most AI products/services.

Companies are eating a lot of the cost right now, until when do we continue with such an approach?

At this rate, I suspect we'll end up with how "search" ended, prioritised ad results and subpar experiences beyond that.

Yeah, seemed smooth enough but now that I look back it, demo conditions are too perfect which may have made it seem that way.

Crazy that interruption also seems to work pretty smoothly

This looks too good to be true? What's the catch?

Also, wasn't expecting the perf to improve by 2x

Happy New Year everyone!

HN has been very insightful and although I don't post often, just lurking and reading the articles/comments makes me realise how shit I am

And although I'm not in the best frame of mind right now, I hope 2024 will be a year where I can change my career around. Much love to everyone here

What is the test?

> 1. Have you ever been laid off from a job for reasons that were not related to your performance?

Yes. Only once, and it happened in March as a part of a cost cutting exercise.

I was working at the company - a product startup - for 2.5 years.

> 2. Did this affect your job search / career afterwards?

No. I went back to my previous employer where I worked for 6 years, they were gracious enough to welcome me back.

The only thing that bothers me at times is the pay differential - I had to take a paycut moving back to my older org.

> 3. Do you feel that being laid off from a job prevented you from recovering due to social stigma around being under / unemployed?

To an extent, yes. The initial days were the hardest as I thought I was untouchable as an employee - I've been a top performer for a majority of my career - so being laid off was definitely a shock.

It took a few weeks to get over it but it was fine as soon as I had a job in hand.

Is it just me or does the site perform horribly?

PS: have h/w acceleration disabled.

There's also MojoLang[0] that brands itself as a alternative to Python, and Google will look to release Carbon soon as well. It'll be interesting to see how these two grow.

There's also Odin[1] that looks promising.

I don't think C# is going anywhere, F# on the other hand :shrug: is at the mercy of MS - they always seem to be on the fence about it.

Yeah, figured that out in thanks to another thread on here. I got confused as all the examples were primarily sql ones.

Great, thank you!

Aha, got it. Thanks for the explanation.

So, the request content/body can have "non-sql-like" queries? can it be GraphQL? or even plain English? - of course, assuming that the server knows how to resolve the query.

Yeah, I mean, I get that but eventually? no?

SQL-like queries in the request body seem like a bad idea, what are the security implications and how do we protect against it?

Or will the QUERY method end up with the same fate as GraphQL - wherein it's more effective and "secure" in a server-to-server setup and the client only deals with REST.

What I fail to understand is how the server interprets the query content/body; how does the server "apply" the "sql" query in the request to the resource? is there something similar to a gql resolver that you need to write?

>Chaz uploaded his custom file to their Amazon s3 bucket

their is who exactly? and why does bsky associate it with the s3 domain if it's just a file in a random bucket?

I've only heard of lottie but never really used it so I'm slightly confused with this.

Were these issues present only in the iOS version of the library? or are these issues present across android, web, and RN as well? and will these platforms also get the upgrade?

I'm the opposite (in a way). I started my career as a front-end dev about 10-12 years ago, over the years the tech landscape in front-end has changed so much and I was so busy keeping up with it that I never prioritised learning backend or other technologies.

If I had a chance to start all over again, I would have definitely looked to be more of a generalist as I feel it gives you more flexibility, perspective/context, and (ofc) improves your skill set.

I definitely regret that now (in my early/mid 30s). But hey, never too late, I've started learning backend and microservices and while I know a lot more now than a few years ago, I'm craving for some experience of taking things to production.

Isn't demo's also built on top of Tokio?
