Actually looking more at this image it looks like these are a little closer to a motorcycle side-car design. It’s basically the same concept though, but it could have a different local name in the Philippines.

Those are called Tuk Tuks, they’re very common in Thailand and other parts of Asia

All 4 images in the article are real photographs credited to a specific photographer with a date…

Me too. It’s exactly the kind of clean metaphor that an AI generated image would never be able to understand.

It stopped being a joke the moment they actually built the product and accepted money for it. As far as I’m concerned, those testimonials are just AI generated as well and the agent didn’t get the memo that this wasn’t sarcasm. It gives off real “Just a prank, bro” energy

It says in the article they tried stripping and reconnecting the cut cables but the wires were too thin and they shorted something out. I don’t think they had enough wire left to work with because of how short they were cut

Shit, I left my 2FA device at home!

I recently got my custom game engine running on an M4 Macbook, and it was definitely a pain. Using MoltenVK to translate the API works, but there’s a bunch of device features that are missing still I had to work around.

Off the top of my head it’s missing drawIndirectCount, linePolygonMode, and the ability to set line thickness above 1 px, which are Vulkan 1.2 features. I also had to do some tweaking since several device limits are lower (can only reference ~500 textures at once instead of 64k like most systems)

I think part of the difference is the amount of output being measured. Maybe a single statement has a 10% chance of being wrong, but over the course of a whole response the likelihood of there being an incorrect statement goes up. After only 5 statements at 10% error, that’s a 40% chance of being wrong in some way.

I don’t have any real numbers, just personal experience using AI for programming at work, and all of these numbers (10%, 40%, 70%) seem plausible depending on exactly what you’re measuring.

It seems to be off by default if you’ve already opted out of Copilot entirely. Definitely still a reminder I should set up my own git though

I’m definitely considering adding something like this to my projects.

Signal gets me all the privacy I need. I don’t care if they know my phone number uses Signal, I don’t use it as anonymous chat, I use it with friends and family.
As others in this post have said, Signal handles privacy perfectly fine, it does not provide anonymity.

Unlike several other users here, I actually view Signal’s contact discoverability as a feature, not a security flaw. All it means is if someone I know installs Signal, they can easily send me a message without a complicated back and forth through some other medium.

Signal is actually good, still, but there are even better alternatives.

… Would you care to list some of these alternatives and how they are better?

Every alternative I’ve looked at has some major drawbacks that would prevent me from getting any of my friends to move. Having to selfhost my own chat service isn’t really a positive in my mind due to the maintenance required and the higher possibility of outages.

The audits determined they don’t have any user information to provide. You can see this in previous government requests where the only thing provided was a timestamp of last connection to the network.

The government already has access to every phone number in existence. They can already track every phone to figure out who attended a protest or whatever. Filtering down to “all phone numbers who’ve ever connected to Signal” doesn’t exactly narrow anything down. They don’t have any metadata about who you were chatting with.

A lot of those things list, especially around deletion, seem like issues with federation in general. I’d love if they suggested an alternative, because quite a few of these are just general issues with encryption/privacy in any system.

shocked pikachu face when they can no longer finish a marathon.

If anything my personal experience is the opposite. When using AI the way work wants me to, with multiple agents going in the background, I’ve completely lost any sort of “flow state” I normally get when focused on a problem. It’s no fun anymore, and the only thing keeping me going is working on my personal projects without AI in my free time… I didn’t get in to this to become an AI babysitter.

I’ve seen it personally at work where the AI generates its own metadata files containing uuids that it made up, and they end up being duplicates from elsewhere in the project. Unfortunately I can’t really share links.

I’m sure you could find examples in GitHub issues

Edit: I had an honest look, and can’t seem to find anything that isn’t AI slop in web searches anymore… GUIDs aren’t exactly the most common thing in the first place, so maybe I overstated how common this is.
