I think it has to get good enough to a point where humans are not the bottleneck for code review and course correction.

I guess the "velocity" multiplier is closer to 10x rather than the 1000x needed for true disruption capability.

I think the turning point will be when AI assisted individuals or tiny companies are able to deliver comparable products/value as the goliaths.

Yes, and we'll continue to have human coding competitions for entertainment purpose. Good luck trying to live off the prize money though.

I wonder if someone's looked into the optimal time of day and day of the week to post for maximum traction.

If I had to guess it would be monday morning pacific time when people would rather be doing anything than working.

That's probably intentional to prevent you from realizing how unsanitary the room really is.

Even if the prompts are technically leaked to the provider, how would they be identified as something worth optimizing for out of the millions of other prompts received?

It does not prevent a bot from using your ID. But a) the repercussions for getting caught are much more tangible when you can't hide behind anonymity - you risk getting blanket banned from the internet and b) the scale is significantly reduced - how many people are willing to rent/sell their IDs, i.e., their right to access the internet?

Edit: ok I see the argument that the feedback mechanism could be difficult when all the website can report is "hey, you don't know me but this dude from request xyz you just authenticated fucked all my shit up". But at the end of the day, privacy preservation is an implementation detail I don't see governments guaranteeing.

I did think asymmetric cryptography but I assumed the validators would be third parties / individual websites and therefore connections could be made using your public key. But I guess having the government itself provide the authentication service makes more sense.

I wonder if they'd actually honor 1 instead of forcing recipients to be registered, as presumably they'd be interested in tracking user activity.

The internet would come to a grinding halt as everyone would suddenly become mindful of their browsing. It's not hard to imagine a situation where, say, pornhub sells its access data and the next day you get sacked at your teaching job.

IDs would have to be reissued with a public/private key model you can use to sign your requests.

> the person at the keyboard, is the same person as that ID identifies

This won't be possible to verify - you could lend your ID out to bots but that would come at the risk of being detected and blanket banned from the internet.

In this particular case, it would be like sending a cheque to somebody knowing it would bounce.

Might need more than a few as the price would tank if his wallets came out of dormancy.

Hope you remembered to get extra plutonium. It isn't available at every corner drugstore yet.

The proofs are not meant for human consumption. It's for the AI to know to try again rather than spit out hallucinations. Of course there's a leap of faith somewhere here.

Why did this fall off the first page so hard? Regardless of the quality of the post, it was getting good engagement I thought.

The rate at which AI is capable of producing code is intractable for humans to deal with. Right now the bottleneck is human reviewers. If AI ever becomes effective at generating provably correct code, it's joever.

Telling people in tech to touch grass is not the best recipe for upvotes it appears.

What would scare me is if this becomes economically viable enough to release to the public, rather than staying an unlimited budget type of demo.

Yes, but will AI give you a chance to get sober and reflect? Maybe once you hit your daily usage limits :)

Your current self won't like it. Your latter self won't care. It's like trying to shame a heroin addict for cheating the dopamine system. When they inject that needle, they are exactly where they want to be.

As a mostly fraudulent software developer, I've always considered it a privilege to earn copious amounts of money sitting in my bedroom.

Most popular languages were designed with human writability in mind. I’m wondering how languages will evolve if that becomes less of a factor going forward. Of course, for the time being, we need a middle ground to satisfy both humans and LLMs writing code.

Edit: tweaked the title slightly

It won't work out for riders initially since wait times for women drivers will be egregious so people will just switch back to no preference.

But I'm curious how many women would now feel safe enough to sign up as drivers given this option.

If it does take off, male drivers won't get as many riders but that's ok since their demand was inflated by lack of choice anyway.

Are drivers required to provide sex assigned at birth? If not, we might see male drivers conveniently identifying as women to circumvent this (presumably to minimize wait times between rides). Although I guess they'd get canceled on a lot.

This has been the case for a while with search engines. I'm convinced our brains have evolved (atrophied?) to avoid having to remember things that you can simply look up on your phone in a matter of seconds.

Okay, maybe there is little hope of making an ideal landing. But the likelihood of it being a fatal accident is significantly reduced without the building in the equation, no?

I'm assuming fuel being cut off is salvageable if not in the middle of a densely populated city, especially if above a plain or water. So it could be the favorable option in case of an engine fire.

Also, such complexity would introduce additional points of failure - as a sister comment mentions, a faulty altimeter (or whatever sensor) could prevent you from cutting off fuel when you need to.

> how would this deter predators?

Maybe the predator's carcass next to a half eaten garter snake is meant to serve as a lesson to other potential predators.

Or perhaps the aim is not to deter but to simply take one natural predator down with them for the good of their species.

Now waiting for this website to get pwned for its search history so hackers can identify targets worth pursuing.

I too learned that the hard way when dropping a family member off. I naively assumed it wouldn't charge me if I tapped out at the same station 10 minutes later.
