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:) )
