hello back

Foldable screens are amazing when it comes to looking at code changes in pull requests

It's a native app what are you talking about

It basically is required, because without it they're treating you the same as if you showed up to the airport with no ID at all.

There's a manual verification process that has always existed for people who lost their ID before their flight, it used to be free, now you need to do that and pay $45 for it.

I've also gone through this process, it did take about 30 minutes in my case. That also included waiting for a TSA agent to be available to even start the process. So YMMV, perhaps based on how busy the airport is at the time.

They had me answer a series of questions about past addresses etc, it wasn't just an extra pat down in my case. After answering all the questions correctly they allowed me to continue.

Because it's not just a $45 fee and you're on your way.

You can actually board a domestic flight without any ID at all, for example if you lost it before your trip. But you'll have to go through a manual identity verification process. That includes giving fingerprints and answering personal questions only you should know, like past addresses.

It takes around 30 minutes and if you don't answer correctly, you could be denied boarding. This process already existed before the Real ID requirement, but it used to be free. Now, you're forced to go through the same manual verification steps and pay $45 on top of it.

You're being treated the same as if you have no ID with you at all.

This seems like such a jerk move to reply to someone who worked hard and is excited about something to essentially try to tell them it was worthless. Whether an LLM will ever actually be appropriate as a compiler or not, the reply from Chen Fang is in such poor taste.

It seems like a guard model paired with RAG could help here. A guard model could filter out references to current events or anything outside the Skyrim universe, while RAG could be used to ground the NPCs dialogue in actual in game content. That way if the model tries to spin up a dungeon or location, it first checks against the game's data to confirm it actually exists before surfacing it to the player.

> I wonder how many subtle errors will make their way to the new codebase (decimal rounding, a library uses where a parameter is ignores and there's no tests for it...) only to be found in production

Yeah, because human developers never allow mistakes to make it to production. Never happens.

"XCode is a poor tool to create apps that do X"

"We tried a particular approach using XCode to create an app that does X but were unsuccessful. Therefore, nobody is able to use Xcode to create apps that do X"

If there are 150,000 ICD codes an Agent may be able to accomplish this that leverages LLMs in the process. LLMs may be able to be used as _part of a process_ that does successfully accomplish this task.

This is why the idea of having humans do this kind of work is complete hype. They still haven't solved the problem of hallucinations.

the anti-AI hype is at an all time high. This tweet is barely a thought experiment, provides zero data, but makes it to the frontpage

the absolute fixation some people have over the use of the term AI - isn't the measurable output of this technology more productive to discuss?

If we're going to have a evidence based discussion

The answer always measurable for a given task

For some tasks the answer is measurably demonstrably: yes, today.

> Is AI overhyped?

no

calling something "hype" should not be a stand-in for data

made an alternative https://dailyblocks.tv/r/drums (can change subreddit by url)

fairly bare bones but video playback seems to work a lot better (in my biased opinion:) )

"People know how it works, but somehow also ignore that..."

It's annoyingly arrogant to assume people could only be impressed having ignored that.

It's impressive to me not by ignoring that at all. Matrix multiplication is apparently capable of producing poetry, jokes, insults, abstract ideas, etc (to some level at least) - but in your mind it's a pixar movie? Words arise from a team of angels pulling levers?

Fascination is not from thinking LLM are advanced as us - fascination is from wondering how much more complicated are we than that?

and you?

yes that's true, and sincerely keep going with that maybe another pass could do code review

maybe an elaborate workflow, but each individual step in that workflow isn't insurmountable

if you cannot get the correct answer in one shot, instead a workflow is required, we should just write off this whole thing as useless or setup that workflow? will let the reader decide

Happy to find a fellow soul. I'm fatigued of the complaints of AI fatigue - especially where the complaints aren't based on recent (last year or so) first hand use.

It's bold (to put kindly) how lengthy some of these critical comments are from folks who later in the thread admit to not personally used Copilot (for example) much themselves.

The quality of LLM output can wildly vary based on what prompts (or series of prompts) are used.

It would be helpful if people could include in their assessment roughly how much time they've personally spent using these tools.

Helping write boilerplate is to Copilot what cropping is to Photoshop.

Some of the ways I've found Copilot a powerful tool in my toolbox: Writing missing comments (especially unfamiliar code bases), "translating" parts of unfamiliar code to a more familiar language, suggesting ideas for how to implement a feature (!) in comments.

Recently setup Forgejo and it's been working out great as a self-hosted GitHub alternative. Once we have cross-domain pull requests and comments (wip) these alternatives can hopefully really take off.

Senior dev here. Recently have some extra time. Happy to offer some code reviews to help you get started. Contact info in bio

If you ask it to write out the steps ahead of time you'll often get a more accurate answer [1]

Q: "How far is Boston from Boston? Write down your steps before you answer."

A: "Boston is a city located in the state of Massachusetts in the United States. To determine the distance from Boston to Boston, we can follow these steps:

1. Determine the coordinates of the starting location, which is Boston, Massachusetts. We can use a map or a GPS tool to find the latitude and longitude of Boston.

2. Determine the coordinates of the destination, which is also Boston, Massachusetts. Again, we can use a map or a GPS tool to find the latitude and longitude of Boston.

3. Use a distance calculator or map tool to find the distance between the two locations. This can be done by inputting the coordinates of the starting location and destination into the tool.

4. The distance calculator or map tool will then provide the distance between the two locations, which in this case would be 0 miles since the starting location and the destination are the same.

Therefore, the distance from Boston to Boston is 0 miles."

You might find https://snapdrop.net/ useful in these situations

This can be done today:

Chrome: Menu -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut -> Check "Open as Window"

Edge: Menu -> Apps -> Install this site as an app

No. It inherently cannot. Pi-Hole isn't a proxy where all traffic is flowing through it and has a chance to be modified. Pi-Hole is strictly answering the question, "What is the IP address for this hostname?" If a given hostname is known to host trackers or something undesirable Pi-Hole will claim it's an unknown host so the device is unable to reach it.

It's possible to change the DNS server on Android without a VPN or app since Android 9 Pie. You can set a custom DoH or traditional DNS server system wide from the connection settings.

It's built into the Chromium based Edge which is actually a great browser in many other respects as well. Particularly fond of how easy it is to install any arbitrary web app as its own dock/taskbar icon at my own choosing vs the wall of prereqs [0] Chrome puts up before allowing the same.
