Must've never driven through the Alps I guess. There's something like this every couple km

You are correct; however, agents can and do find terrible bugs in some of the most popular software in the world made by some of the most competent engineers on the planet.

I assume what KingOfCoders suggested is to run an agent almost like an antivirus which I guess sounds somewhat interesting but you'd have to re-run it on every update and probably spend many more hours+tokens for such a system to work properly.

But perhaps once inference gets truly cheap repository maintainers should include AI security checks for new software as part of their pipeline? I think that would make sense. Especially for repos that are frequently pwned like npm!

By the way, if I was wanted, I'd just pull my shirt up over my face or wear a facemask

This is misleading in so many ways...

Their watchlist was only ~450 people, and it was restricted to people relevant to the transport police. The system was also overt and clearly marked, there were alternative routes that avoided the cameras and even then they were on 3-6 hours per day.

The headline suggests this system is not only invasive but also ineffective. While I agree it's a privacy nightmare, I also think those idiotic deployment conditions set them up for failure. At least we know there aren't many false positives, it could've been worse.

Where exactly would the UI benefit from "drawing lines"? I'd say the visual hierarchy is rather obvious.

I'll say more: most separators people use in their UIs are completely unnecessary. They should be used sporadically when you don't have a better way of segmenting the interface.

> No visual differentiation between sections of the UI, no clear indication of what's tappable and what will happen on a tap

What section of the UI are you referring to exactly? From the screenshots in their blog post it seems to me like the visual hierarchy is preserved and without using the app at least I can form an immediate expectation as to the function of each button. (And what is clickable and what isn't)

> no indication of scrollable areas beyond content being cut off

What type of indication would you like to see here? I think most users intuitively understand that visual cue. An always-on scrollbar would introduce unnecessary clutter..

They’ve already made it obvious that the row is horizontally scrollable by leaving part of the next icon visible at the right edge. That's a clear (and standard) visual cue that there’s more content off-screen.

Perhaps we're in a transition period where we still mostly haven't figured out how to get AI to increase quality & productivity instead of just volumetric output.

That's my experience too. I've found OpenAI really quite generous with tokens. I sometimes wonder how some people manage to run out of them really. Do they just type prompts that much faster than me or use the highest reasoning mode for everything just because they can? Idk.

I generally agree with those reasons, although using a single thread may be less of an issue than it seems because of context compacting which should happen automatically when you're near the limit.

How do you manage to run out of tokens so quickly? I probably run more threads every working day, usually on medium, and I'm still below the 5x limits.

Do you use the official harness? OpenAI's models are generally best in class for token efficiency. It seems to me like they push for that much more than their competitors.

If I take a photo and then use GIMP to edit it, then did I take a photo or just direct my camera at something and then steer my computer to make changes to it? After all, it's not me drawing each pixel manually. It's vibe-photoed!

Tragic day in AI.

What exactly is broken with copy-paste? I've been using Zed on Wayland (official install, not flatpak and not terra) and had no issues with this.

I guess it does make their communication feel a bit more personal, especially since they usually don't use corporate language on personal twitter accounts.
