Fine.Whether I try to create an account, or checkout as guest, it wants my phone number. Fine, credit card companies want that as an additional line of defence against fraud.However... before you can continue to the next step, you have to "click to receive a verification code" that you need to enter to complete the form.And it must be trying to send that code by SMS/text, because I'm not getting it. My phone is a landline; there's no way to text it.

Marcel FröhlichVerifiable code generation is a path to more reliable automation with LLMs. There are many possibilities and design options how to deal with it. I believe that verified components and correct-by-construction methods will play an important role. But either way: understanding formal specs will become much more relevant. Mathematical abstractions will become more relevant for modeling actual requirements for all kinds of systems. <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/verification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#verification</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@Jose_A_Alonso/114596458616756830" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mathstodon.xyz/@Jose_A_Alonso/114596458616756830</a>
