Nah I could tell by the first line.

> Detecting if a cover letter is AI-generated can be challenging, especially as AI improves over time.

huh? that doesn't seem true, it's pretty easy to tell AI-written work

> However, here are some general tips that might help:

Oh lol.

(actually written by me ways to tell):

- it will ALWAYS give an irrelevant first couple lines that sound like they're from a third grader's "haha you have to write an introductory paragraph" assignment

- it tries to "both sides" literally EVERYTHING it says. like if you said "how do you make a snowman" it would say something like "Learning to build a snowman can be challenging. However, if you live in a cold climate with snow, it's a great activity for both children and adults!" like what? why do you need a POV contrast here? but it will always do this.

- there's next to 0 sentence length variation.

- no idiosyncratic tendencies, eg using "like" a lot. Few people write like this, we write like we talk (as you can see I picked this example because I'm, like, guilty of it myself)

- no personal anecdotes at all. people like to talk about ourselves. the fact that an AI-generated response will never do this is very weird. (though I guess it would if you said "write a cover letter about myself")

I'm sure there's a shitton of clues that I pick up on subconsciously but yeah AI content is pretty obviously AI content.
I imagine it is the hot dream of Microsoft and its suppliers to reduce news sites traffic to mostly just LLM. Google and Meta are regulated out of existence, and average Joe pays to access information through ChatGPT.
Right on cue, here is a podcast interview with Michael Shermer (Skeptic Magazine):

Dan Dennett Looks Back on his Career

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm6nDmpnmEU
It's in there.

He first raised the issue in April 2022.

Then in December 2022 he asked about the evaluation of Kyber's security and they posted this[1], which included a 2^40 multiple that he wasn't sure where it came from; if it came from where he thought it did (bogus math on numbers from a paper DJB himself coauthored), then that was troubling.

There was no response, so a few weeks later he posted his assumptions and asked if anyone else could come up with another possible explanation for what the NIST e-mail was assuming.

This did get a response[2], the main thrust of which was:

> While reviewers are free, as a fun exercise, to attempt to "disprove what NIST _appears_ to be claiming about the security margin," the results of this exercise would not be particularly useful to the standardization process. NIST's prior assertions and their interpretation are not relevant to the question of whether people believe that it is a good idea to standardize Kyber512.

After further prodding the response[3] was essentially a rather polite version of "You're the scientist and it's your model, why don't you tell us?" Which DJB considers dodging his question of "How did you get these numbers?"

At this point DJB posts[4] a dissection of the December 2022 e-mail, which is similar to the middle quarter of TFA.

You know what? I applaud your brevity. Now all you have to do for future job postings is mention "Please do not submit cover letters that are generated by AI. Doing so will result in immediate disqualification.".
You mean you have problem with start/end vs left/right? That's not confusing to me and helpful to use start/end for RTL layouts as well as LTR.

To get an idea of the scale: the average residential water usage is around 120 liter per person and day in Germany, around 300 in the US.

Assuming you get around 8 hours of operations out of such a box per day, that would be 3m² of land usage for the German usage, or 7.5m² / 80ft² for the US, per person. Doesn't sound great, but not too terrible either, compared to current land use (for housing, cars, infrastructure, agriculture, ...)

That's of course ignoring other water sources, and also that the hours of operation will vary wildly with weather and season.

I disagree. There a people who are nice and there are people who get capital and talent together to build new technology that makes per person productivity increase tremendously.

With Elon, he brought to cost of sending payloads into space down by a factor of more than 10.

With electric cars, he made them economically viable that many others had failed to do before. Tesla is an incredibly human efficient company compared to its competitors Ford and GM.

Same with Gates, Bezos and Steve Jobs, they got people and capital organize to boost the productivity per person working for them and people using their output (software and devices)

Good technology amplifies per person productivity.

We may hate the personality and character, but what’s worth looking at is what would be the world be like if there was no Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX or Microsoft?

I think you seriously overestimate how much other people care about things that do not affect or interest them. It has nothing to do with how you describe your work. The only person that might be interested is another software dev. Adjust your expectations and talk about something you have in common.

I went to a conference once for sales professionals targeting high net worth individuals. There was a session on how to be an interesting person with lots of hobbies and personal experiences so that you could better connect with people who also had abundant personal lives.

Adobe CC. This enables our family tradition to produce photo books for our important events and vacations of our life. In the past we used softwares provided by photo book companies but all of them either phased out their software or being acquired. (They might be rebranded softwares by someone else, seems to be written in Java.)

Since then after I finished doing photo retouching with Lightroom Classic, my wife would use Photoshop and InDesign to design the photo book.

Other Adobe CC apps are at times very useful such as Premiere for Video editing videos we took during a vacation.

Investing into a system like this can be very expensive, not in the $ sense but more like time invested and vendor lock in. Once you invested the time to train in this tools it is very costly to migrate away from it as you become more busy with life. But then it is also very hard to find an alternative that does everything I need from Adobe. Adobe is an ecosystem and is an easy path to start.

Basically he feels like the donation money should go towards further development of Processing itself, but the foundation seems to be spending it on other stuff, and not on continuing or accelerating the development of Processing itself.

They're a dead giveaway because they usually lack any personal touch or deep understanding of the job role. It's like they're ticking off a checklist of generic qualifications without understanding the company culture. You start to recognize the pattern after you've gone through a few hiring cycles.

I'd not put any trust in geekbench.

If you read the whitepaper[0], you'd notice quite some weird scenarios. Take the compression (it uses zstd, which a major prop), however it compresses some 10k small files of a total 75MB. Compressing small files individually is just pointless, ztsd is not an archiver (I suppose the compressor/decompressors are re-created for each file, too). The total size is just tiny as well. Then it uses a virtual file system with AES in memory, no idea how the latter is implemented but I suppose it lays entirely in the userland.

Due to small sizes, the workload would be very L2/L3 sensitive - however it doesn't represent any common way that compression is used in practice, esp. zstd.

It's interesting, because I got very interested in Processing after being blown away by what an amazing asset Daniel Shiffman is for the coding/educational community, and wanting to find out more about it. When I went to go look into processing a bit more, I was very confused by what I encountered. It seemed like a radical political group with an absolute fixation on identity politics, which just happened to have a couple of programming platforms in the mix. Very sad to see that this wasn't just the superficial impression, but where the money is actually going.

Shiffman, meanwhile, not only is an excellent engineer and communicator, pumping out an endless stream of content...sadly seems to have been doing so despite the organization. The man is a legitimate saint. The way that you get people interested in engineering is by making engineering fun and accessible, which is exactly what he does. I wish the best for him and the work that he does, and I hope that he gets to continue putting what he does out there with or without the help of processing. Processing and p5js, as well as their machine learning library ml5js, also deserve better; they're great too.

This is the demographic to watch, the ones who switched away from piracy for convenience that was worth a fee, and if priced out to feed shareholders will shrug and go back to the old ways.

Black holes form when there is insufficient force to counter accretion and subsequent compression by gravity. There are a few forces that act as a counter:

- thermally generated pressure as a result of exothermic reactions (like nuclear fusion),

- Coulomb pressure (atomic nuclei opposing each other), or

- quantum-mechanical degeneracy pressure (keeps white and brown dwarfs and neutron stars from collapsing)

> You don’t. The merchant you are buying from is choosing to pay 3% for credit card payments because they believe incentivizing people to pay with credit cards will result in them earning more (via higher prices or higher margin goods) than incentivizing them to pay with debit/cash.

Why are you putting the onus on the retailer? Don't assume malice or intent from them.

I operate online businesses; so 99% of my sales are credit card. I get the occasional wire/ACH or a check in the mail. I'd love to not pay 3% of all my revenue to credit card processors, but most people want to use credit card / PayPal / etc. because it's more convenient for them.

I'm happy to offer a discount if someone wants to pay via a non-credit card, but I don't raise my prices because of it. I just have to suck it up and eat that cost. My margins are not high and I would've made about 27% more last year had I not had to do that. You're welcome.

What does failing to enter it correctly on 3 things mean? would i lock myself out? Is three meaning I leave one at home and have one with me so I can lose it?
