I have no idea, but yes, I suspect remote positions are heavily targeted and folks are looking for lazy hiring processes.

But when the job description contains a lot of very general terms (e.g. "scientific computing") and every part of your job history is just parroting a specific term used in the job description with no details it doesn't pass the smell test.

I absolutely respect keyword-heavy job/project descriptions. You kind of have to do it to make it through filtering by most recruiters. But real descriptions are coherent and don't just parrot back terms in ways that makes it clear you don't understand what the are. You find a way to make a coherent keyword soup that still actually describes what you did. That's great! But it's really obvious folks are misrepresenting things when a resume uses all the terms in the job description in ways that don't make sense.

I kinda think we've reach this weird warfare stage of folks submitting uniquely LLM-generated resumes for each position to combat the aggressive LLM-based filtering that recruiting is starting to use. I assume people think they can do well in an interview if they can just get past the automated filtering. I'm sure some are trying to do 3 and 4 remote jobs at once with little real responsibilities, too, but I find it hard to believe that's the majority. I may be very wrong there, though...

Yes, speaking as someone who likes StarCraft and would've been happy to pay money for this -- Stormgate felt like it had no purpose for being made, other than "we want to be CEOs of our own company". It was really disappointing.

I don't need every part of a game to be spectacular, but I do need ONE part to be -- some part that gets me to buy in, because someone at the company really cared -- and nothing here was.

>That means the only viable solution is a Single State. They should rehome the refugees, return them to their land, and get over it. Deal with Hamas as the internal matter it is.

I'm sorry but that's insane. Did you not hear about what happened on October 7? And the reaction on the palestinian street? If Israel would do as you suggest then the world would find out what real genocide is.

A good solution that should satisfy everyone would be to offer a couple million palestinians a new life in any of the dozen arab states that exist and are much bigger then israel. They will get enough money to set themselves up and a pathway to citizenship in their adopted country. In short treating them like every other refugee in history, just much better. I've done the calculations, if 2 million palestinian get offered 50k dollars each, including children plus whatever they can get for selling their house this scheme would cost $100 billion dollars, which actually kind of makes sense seeing how much this war is costing. It might cost something in that ballpark to rebuild gaza anyway. You can call that whatever you want, but i'd say that is the path to an optimal outcome for all sides. (actually i like that idea so much i think it deserves the Nobel prizes in the peace and economic categories.)

Or you can get hung up about ethnic cleansing and gaza stays a hellhole for the next 20 years and increasingly overpopulated.

This is a nuanced question that depends heavily on the specific criticism and context involved. Some criticisms of AI writing can indeed reflect problematic biases: Potentially elitist aspects:

Dismissing AI use often assumes everyone has equal access to high-quality education, time for extensive writing practice, or native fluency in the language they're writing in

It can privilege traditional forms of cultural capital and educational background

May ignore legitimate accessibility needs - AI can be genuinely helpful for people with dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences

Potentially discriminatory elements:

Could disproportionately affect non-native speakers who use AI to help with grammar, style, or cultural communication norms

May unfairly impact people from different socioeconomic backgrounds who didn't have the same writing instruction opportunities

However, not all criticism is inherently biased:

Concerns about academic integrity in educational settings can be legitimate Worries about skill development and learning are valid in many contexts Professional standards in certain fields may reasonably require human-generated work Transparency about AI use is often a fair expectation

--- ----

acutally, above answer is from AI, what do you think about it?

> My app's value is its simplicity

With or without the advent LLMs, it's an uphill battle to build a moat around a small (but nice!) wrapper around the output of a command-line tool shipped with MacOS.

> what is the moat?

Increasingly, and sadly, it's online services with a monthly subscription and no data portability. Get users in with a generous free tier and pull up the drawbridge so they can't get out easily.

This past year, I noticed people reaching out to me whenever my employer is hiring. These seem to be new graduates, and there is a pattern in the way ask for a reference or a job:

- "Hey, I applied, could you hire me?" - "I have a compsci, I'm qualified, I sent a resume" - "can I use you as a reference?"

These are people I've never met, yet they are so direct to the point of being rude. But to the best of my knowledge, they are real people. And what it looks like is that I'm contact #258 in a spreadsheet, because they have to cast an extremely wide net to hope for a single response. When I respond, they are lost because they don't even remember which of the job I was a contact for.

I don't envy anyone looking for a job right now.

don't worry about speaking for the author. I want to gather as many explanations of this as possible because none of them seem to be consistent and make much sense. I feel like people do this because others do it too without much questioning.

With your example, why would the author care whether some random person buys the vape he mentioned in his article? I don't see the point

Only slightly off topic but I sincerely wish Noctua was everywhere else in my life.

Like I’d love for them to make my HVAC system quieter.

Or table fans. Or car air conditioners.

Just about every fan in my life would be better if Noctua redesigned it.

They’d be like Dolby, but for making LESS noise.

I have by far the most experience with Vue, but I'm a bit ambivalent about Vue3, and often still write in a Vue2 style.

Svelte looked pretty nice, but before I had a chance to really proficient, that codebase got re-written in Solid. Solid seemed to have the benefits of React-compatibility without so much brain-hurt.

Did uber/lyft get radically better in the last 12 months?

I had one rapidly cycle their prius between 50 and 70 on the freeway because regenerative brakes save gas (I felt carsick for hours after arriving at my destination), and another actually get an angry mob to tap on the windows and berate their driving. (The mob was justified.)

Since then, I’ve given up on using them whenever possible.

If it works, why do so? Unless there's a clear performance boost, and if so you already know the code and can quickly locate your interpreted version.

Or At the time of adding you can add a NOTE or FIXME comment stating where you copied it from. A quick grep for such keyword can give you a nice overview of nice to have stuff. You can also add a ticket with all the details if you're using a project management tool and resuscitate it when that hypothetical moment happens.

I said was talking about face-to-face (or 'in person' as you put it) communication. You're absolutely right that over long-distance people prefer to communicate by text, but in person people prefer to communicate by speech so that's exactly my point: there are at least some contexts in which people prefer speech.

I guess I could also follow suit and return your weird toxic/patronising insult here too since you clearly didn't understand my original comment, but perhaps it would be nicer if we didn't do that?

They changed the model ID we were using multiple times in the two weeks we had access to - so clearly they were still iterating on the model during that time.

They weren't deceptive about that - the new model IDs were clearly communicated - but with hindsight it did mean that those early impressions weren't an exact match for what was finally released.

My biggest miss was that I didn't pay attention to the ChatGPT router while I was previewing the models. I think a lot of the early disappointment in GPT-5 was caused by the router sending people to the weaker model.

For what it's worth, the GPT-5 I'm using today feels as impressive to me as the one I had during the preview. It's great at code and great at search, the two things I care most about.

> React is simple by nature, what made it unpleasant and unproductive?

It isn't "simply by nature" at all. I have lost so much time battling through the minutiae of the different use...() hooks, trying to figure out either why something never updates, or updates too often, or updates but the state is stale etc etc. I never run into issues like this at all with Vue. Things update simply and predictably for me.

This is a very odd take and shows your media bubble. The real stats are 7-10x in favor of right wing violence. They have the title for most destructive with OKC bombing, frequency, body count, etc. All stats are at least an order of magnitude greater for right wing violence. It's even difficult to find examples of left violence. The famous examples provided are "BLM Riots" which were mostly peaceful protests against violence. It's all spin.

Settings => Network => Enable youtube-dl => Custom youtube-dl path => "~/.local/bin/"

because I installed yt-dlp globally through uv

or you are working for small companies with people who have no (useful) connections. i worked with one for 10 years. not a single referral. a few connections from the university. nothing. they all work in small companies that are not hiring or simply have no pull to provide a meaningful reference.

looking back, the best options i got was from active networking in tech and business communities. actually, all of my jobs and clients come through that. except the most current one, which is from reconnecting to an old client, but there too the initial connection and the reconnection happened through a tech community.

Yea, so here's the tl;dr history in the article:

1. The author, who actually cribbed from wikipedia, gets the willies when he sees shallow water infested with tens of thousands of perfectly happy alligators. All he thinks is that amazing commerce will happen when he kills all the kind gators, flushes the state, and runs away before the next time it rains.

2. Everyone throughout history has wanted to Drain The Swamp. Every one of those amazing historical people has seemed perfectly reasonable and without a doubt was an incredibly towering bastion of science who wanted to drain the Everglades. Too bad they were all incompetent.

3. Please leave Florida Man and Gator Lake alone. They separate the Gulf of America on the West from the Sea of Florida on the East.

Assuming there are multiple providers of the software, I’d pay expect to pay normal automotive margins on top of the hardware cost.

That’s probably $1000-2000 per car, or about a penny a mile.

I’m not sure how much a few lidars will cost at scale. The compute board is a few hundred. Modern cars already have plenty of cameras.

> Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals.

Even if there was no mention of this or the implication that it’s linked to the notifications Apple sends for targeted attacks, is it fair to say this kind of backdated security patch implies a lot about the severity of the vulnerability? What’s Apple’s default time frame for security support?

The fixed 37 is the value of the coins. It's very easy to reduce the number of coins.

Either you misunderstood something or please explain more. Note that both the working and broken versions have the same 37 in them.

And the problem statement starts with no coins chosen. It had to actively choose pennies to get that broken result. If you told it about the coins in a different order, it probably would have given a different answer.

RTS as a genre is dead, or maybe fractured. The base builders moved into colony or factory management games like Rimworld or Factorio. The strategic battlers moved into games like Dawn of War. I don't think either type of player was truly satisfied with RTS's but for a long time there was no alternative. There will always be the nostalgia players who try to keep the genre alive, but it will never again be mainstream.

As an Uber rider, I actually love the SFO setup. The walk is short enough, there's actually enough space even during most busy times that there's no crazy honking of drivers trying to get in or out of the pickup zone.

Compare that to the mess that is Uber pickups at JFK, where you have big delays _and_ very poor traffic controls in and out of the pickup zones.

During a Tracfone support call I made recently, they sent a 2FA text to me. I said to the rep, "The text says 'Don't share this code with anyone.' Can I share it with you?" They laughed and said yes. It was completely legit as I had called Tracfone for some service changes.

So some of these systems are very poorly designed.

I see you created the account to just post this so you're highly likely to not be worth the response but "native brit" is vague not because British people don't exist - there is a legal definition for that - but because Britain has been invaded and seen migration for millenia. Are Normans less native than Anglo-Saxons? Are the Celts the most native? Why do the Vikings and Franks get to assimilate into nativity but not the non-white? The answer to that is very clear - however people tend to hide it behind terms like "native".

Cooks only on weekends.

> The rest of the week I either get to have my meals at the office, or through Planty, a plant based clean food subscription

OK. I'm retired and it's 21 meals a week, snacks extra (ouch)

And I solve the kitchen and living room "problem" with great zoom backgrounds. I am fond of the library at the Filoli mansion, anything Yosemite (Ahwahnee Hotel is nice), Waves curling at Pacifica Pier (shot end-on!), the Berkeley Hills, and my kitchen is populated with Iron Chefs Sakai, Ishinabe, Morimoto, Michiba, Chen, Nakamura, and Kobe.

Or so it appears.

In fact, that point of view is interesting because the argument for the police state since 9/11 is 'but domestic terrorists!' (although nowadays it's back to 'think of the children').

If domestic islamic terrorists aren't as active as everyone think, maybe we can do with less surveillance, no?

To be honest in my country, domestic islamic terrorism killed more than any other terrorism since 2014, and even more than police, and I still don't like the surveillance state we have, it's still to much.

>There’s way more background info that I didn’t know (what do you mean a latitude and longitude doesn’t mean anything without a bunch more info?!) that’s necessary to use it effectively.

That's sort of true, but QGIS could do a much better job of helping you manage this stuff, figuring out the right CRS, helping you make sense of clashing CRS'es etc.

> highlighted points, whether selected through the selection UI or through the data table… should always have a higher Z-order than the other points around them

I haven't come across that one much, but generally I wish the UI around querying data was much better. First it takes me ages to find the one specific tiny little button which lets you query stuff, then you have to remember to pick which layer you want to query, etc etc.

It's the most obvious mode, and should be the default, and not buried amongst a dozen other icons I'll never use.

>I can turn anyone, including you, into "someone who will fire a rocket in 5 years". Give me US backing and I can do it in 4

Echoing OP's point, I can turn you into a person who'll fire a rocket in a year, even. Go read through B'Tselem's reports of Israel's torture camps [0] where tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians are systematically raped, murdered, and abused as a matter of state policy. By the time you undergo that from youth, with half the people in your family gone for years, imprisoned in such camps, while half the kids you grew up with have died in senseless state-sanctioned murder, you'll be ready to do something worse that firing rockets.

Of course, you'll argue, from a sheltered perspective that you wouldn't ever do something like that. So, what will you do instead of fighting back? Sue? LMAO. Protest? You'll get shot. Just focus on building a family? Your home will get demolished or bombed just because.

Human cognition has evolved to be very good at some things but is terrible at others. We're great at spotting patterns, and terrible at spotting the rare subtle exception.

If you haven't fallen for anything, great, but that's because no one has ever cared enough to target you personally.

480 Mbps is plenty for low GHz signals. 1GHz gives you 20MHz to play with, which turns into about ~100 Mbps max. A 6GHz signal pulling out all the stops will give you at ~1.6Gbps, but if you're dealing with data that extreme you're barking up the wrong tree with a cheap SDR like the HackRF.
Ask HN: How to deal with fake job applicants?

My company recently posted an open role and we've been inundated with AI-generated applicants. 404 LinkedIn profiles, near-copies of known real applicants, no-show interviews, artificial voices, the whole gamut. But often the fake resumes are difficult to tell apart from real ones. What strategies are folks using to weed out the fake applicants? I'd like to do something hard to circumvent with AI, but not onerous for real humans, being sensitive to the fact that many people are desperate for work, spraying and praying, and even a small task might exclude them.

> I think this is a good argument for reducing your dependency count as much as possible, and keeping them to well-known and trustworthy (security-wise) creators.

I wonder to which extent is the extreme dependency count a symptom of a standard library that is too minimalistic for the ecosystem's needs.

Perhaps this issue could be addressed by a "version set" approach to bundling stable npm packages.

An extract of the (very short) article: "Stage 3: Agentic AI This is the final, most profound stage. What if the system could run itself? Agentic AI platforms from companies like Pigment and Anaplan are creating systems of autonomous agents that perceive, reason, and act. Imagine an "Analyst" agent detecting a sales variance. It triggers a "Planner" agent to investigate, which then activates a "Modeler" agent to run simulations and propose a new budget. The human is no longer in the loop; they are overseeing it. Is this not the endgame?"

Asking Google about the normal typical cost of deployment of Pigment or Anaplan: "Pigment pricing starts around $500-800 annually per Explorer seat, with Contributor and Editor seats costing more, leading to a total cost of $75,300-$106,250 annually for a Professional configuration. Anaplan, a competitor, has pricing that starts around $200,000 per year, but final costs depend on company size and model complexity. Pigment is best for companies seeking a modern, visual, and flexible planning platform, while Anaplan is more suited for enterprises with highly complex, structured, and large-scale planning needs."

Those platforms are targeted to big companies, but I doubt that the author (as me I'm doing for a living) has any idea about the capability of spending of small/medium companies and the budget allocated to the financial modeling (if any).

Anyway, speaking about talking after reading, my answer is yes, Excel has and will have a place for financial modeling and the article isn't providing any concrete evidence of the contrary.

Is it the fault of the voters who couldn't stomach the genocide or the Democratic candidates who refused to budge on the issue? It's an argument that has been recapitulated millions of times now, so I'm not sure why we should repeat the exercise here.

You've hit on the exact right questions, and I agree with your analysis.

Regarding the origin story and copy, you're probably right that it's not the final reason someone clicks "buy." Its value is at the top of the marketing funnel—it's the hook that makes someone stop scrolling and consider an app from an unknown indie dev in the first place. It builds enough initial trust for them to actually look at the screenshots and features.

And thanks for the point about the DMCA—I will definitely be looking into that for the most blatant copycats.
