Show HN: AI tool to tailor resume and cover letter, and prepare for interviews
Hi HN Community! I'd really appreciate your feedback on my new web app for job seekers. What it can do:

1. Help you optimize your resume for a specific job description.

2. Write a personalized cover letter.

3. Identify most likely interview questions for the role and provide real-time feedback during mock interviews.

The backend is written in Python (Flask). It relies on an internal database and multiple external APIs (incl. ChatGPT). The frontend is HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

I'm very curious: What do you like and dislike the most about it? Did you experience any weird issues as you were playing around with it? And what would you suggest to improve? Thanks!
No "The Act of Killing"?

It's an incredible documentary (of the cinéma vérité kind) of how people can delude themselves, like deluding how personally killing thousands of people is a thing they need to celebrate:

You could say mobile operating systems may be a duopoly, but cellphones themselves are made by a dozen or more manufacturers. And the company that makes the most widely used mobile operating system is not Apple.
You can also quit drugs if you want.
seems like this could be a better way of doing research for the time being than continuing on in academia.

I'm not sure that's an elevator pitch to wow investors. I mean "I want to do research" sounds more like a career objective than a business.
There's nothing wrong with that.

Startup seed money is a bet on potential.

If you really want to start a research company, start a research company and figure out the money later. If you want to escape academia, you might just get a job in the industry.

Good luck.
Could be, but a higher rate of inflation will make attaining $3 million even easier. If inflation is 5%, they will only need ~$400,000 in today's dollars.
Can you use row-hammer to force the bit flips to speed up this attack?
No, pretty sure it was the same guy - I've seen one or two of the knock-off videos, and it's not as interesting (and as you say, fake). There's mention on the wiki page for Primitive Technology that he had problems with re-uploaders.
In college I took a survey of Modern Philosophy as a requirement for my major. The class was taught by a pretty renowned Kant scholar. I don't remember as much as I would like from that class, but I do remember one thing the professor said, "David Hume explained complex ideas with simple language, while Kant explained simple ideas with complex language."

It was reassuring that even the guy who wrote the translation of Critique o f Pure Reason that we were using in the class thought that Kant wrote in an incredibly obtuse way. What stuck with me even more is the idea that sometimes, "simple" ideas explored in such depth could be extremely valuable. I've been fascinated by Kant ever since, but lack the time or energy to read more of what he wrote. I would like to at some point.

Well, there are some things different and some things the same. Every society censors some information, it is just part of state power. Examples of things that both Western nations and China censor are things like material support for their designated terrorist groups, fraudulent commercial communications, bomb making instructions, information tools that could be too helpful for producing bioweapons, the identities of personnel in intelligence, the identities of undercover police, the precise security arrangements for the head of state, etc.

Also worth noting that censorship serves a dual purpose. Censorship can be bypassed both inside China and outside it, but because it's overwhelmingly administered through the internet the intelligence services will get a bunch of pings if you're trying to access information they care about. Censorship serves a secondary purpose of making you much more likely to generate intelligence if you go searching for XYZ restricted information.

I am not familiar with how enforcement is done in China, but in the US it's common for the intelligence agencies to detect someone through search patterns (e.g. "what is the schedule of Joe Biden" "where can I buy a pressure cooker" "purchase micronised aluminium" will absolutely get you flagged somewhere if you google it and actually click on the links/engage normally), and then either go straight to entrapment if it can get through court, or engage in parallel construction if it can't (most common method is just convincing a cop's CI to give a tip about the suspect, which can trigger digital searches with a warrant) and then move to entrapment. I imagine in China they don't bother with parallel construction, there is no legal fiction that they're not surveilling you, so they can just convict you for their equivalent of conspiracy based on the digital evidence as presented to the Judge.

Also median of 19. Meaning quite good bit would have started saving before age of 18 right? That sounds off... Considering what type of jobs they would have had.
yeah this here is the real point.

runs alright for me, too. just alright, but for what it is that's fine.

however it's not really much better than the predecessor, and needs to give me a reason to give up on the HUGE mod community and well documented approaches from CS1.
Yes, it's a blanket statement, better it's an absolute statement because it's absolutely true.

You're taking a shortcut due to convenience and it's bad security practice.

It's that simple.
Wow. Interesting connection between "trouble perceiving time" (negative) and "flow state" (usually positive).

People with ADHD also have those two traits, perhaps giving further evidence that they come as a package.

Across the broader population, I wonder if one could increase flow state access by removing reminders of time. Casinos do this, I think.
It's a shame, I think the posts were all on google plus and hard to find now.

seriously. I'd say more often than that even. is it that they are being used and we're just not hearing it, or is there something holding them back?
Whatever change they did last, I can't find a single thing. Their little "please turn off your adblocker" thing is cute, but I'm basically done using YouTube at this point, I literally cannot find content. I don't know what Google keeps doing to their search, but it astounds me people use it anymore, I seem to be getting the most regressed form of their search.
If I understand correctly:

Synapse and Dendrite have been under Apache 2.0 so far, which would allow anyone to turn them into proprietary products. Including Element.

With this change, the situation is: Element can make them proprietary but no one else.
If you have files that are large enough that json is a problem, why use json in the first place? Why not use a binary format that will be more compact and easier to memory map?
What a mess… couldn’t this be done in software instead? As in, if you try to charge your phone with a cable that doesn’t support fast charging, the phone could detect it and pop up an alert. I’m not sure the average consumer would know what to make of these labels, and that’s assuming the cable manufacturers would comply and put accurate labels in the first place.

Static-everything is such a gimmick in my opinion. It sounds great until you try to do something useful with your code. It's almost never the case that people actually want to hard-code stuff in the source code.

Almost always you read configuration files at run-time (like sudo does) and change your behavior depending on run-time information - so you will have run-time errors.
As soon as you gamify something, it ceases to be the same kind of problem it was in its original form. I can't say work was gamified, but it certainly feels closer to that considering the core ideas behind the NFT/crypto gamification craze.

By being careful? If you were otherwise going to use it without testing you're not any worse off plugging it into a test setup up to your expected load.

You can step up the load gradually and keep an eye on it.

I would be more worried about the cheap no-brand test gear catching fire. I wouldn't plug my 100W charger into it.

+1, this video is a must-see
I read that book at the time, and what I rememember from it was that on top of the things discussed in the article here, there was a fairly lengthy section on peak demand and balancing that with renewables which are intermittent, which formed part of his conclusions.

Implying video games are fun.

Jokes aside, video games are first and foremost things I want to spend time with, which is the opposite of most jobs. Catchy title but yeah =/
I'm not sure of the chronology of ancient Greek writers, but Greek geography was largely aware of the Atlantic coast from roughly the English Channel to around Guinea.
Seems kinda backwards. I would say a video game is like a job but (hopefully) without the bad parts.

I'm making a puzzle game, so the comparison to dev work is pretty obvious. The difference is when you play a puzzle game, you know there is a solution, and the world is crafted to make finding it as fun as possible. The real world is messy. Questions like "should we even do this at all" come up. There are edge cases, and your information is imperfect.

In a puzzle game, you can (generally) see everything, you know what you can see is 100% correct, etc. Games are like an idealised chunk of real life, not the other way around. And IMO that's by design, not some accident.

Yes, that's right. Assuming a typical lifespan, they will have 20 years left in ~40 years. Assuming a 2% inflation rate, $3 million in 40 years is equivalent to ~$600,000 today. A 60 year old holding $600,000 today does not seem like that high of a bar.
Other than 2008, you mean?
It reminds me of AlphaGo not playing for a win by a large margin, unlike humans do. I don't think the system needs to stomp Chomsky to the ground, unlike some totalitarian systems that demand complete subordination. They only need to make sure that more people listen to Tucker Carlson than Noam Chomsky, for which not inviting Chomsky to mainstream TV was so far pretty sufficient.
Nobody in the OCaml community commonly refers to them as Enum's today or any time recently (maybe they were at the time Rust was created though? IDK).

They're usually called 'variants'.
> let's not pretend that there couldn't be some new bug introduced due to a misunderstanding of how something works or just a plain old mistake.

Is anyone doing that? I see a lot of claims of memory safety, but as far as I can see the project isn’t saying other types of bugs are for sure eliminated.
Some of them will also have been a metaverse company for a few months.
Perhaps it was on the Great Western track when it was broad gauge?
more than that, what if you don't dislike who you are?

I grew up very poor, to the point of living in tents on the side of the river, living without electricity or water, etc (this is in the US).

fast forward 25+ years and I make more money than I could have ever fathomed. And yet, I still feel more comfortable living like I'm poor because the money is a security blanket. If left to my own devices could easily live off of 30k today, the only thing that stops me is my gf of 10+ years doesn't want to live like that. We've made compromises, one of them is we don't spend money willy-nilly without a strong justification.

You'll hear people talk about the tendencies of poor people who come into money and how they couldn't let it go, as if it's a negative thing. But you know what? fuck that, it's my strength.

I can't speak to your specific situation, I'm just commenting that I agree things that poor situations can sometimes give you strength and if not strength then maybe you as a person like who you are, don't feel the need to change because someone tells you to.

One of my favorite things about Deathloop was kicking unsuspecting NPCs off of cliffs and roofs. I've played a lot of that game and that hasn't gotten old yet.
Suppression is a good way to make ideas more acceptable. Chomsky is allowed to say these things because he's also considered a communist in the common enemy sense.
This is actually a killer feature of beagleboards. You can use usb to connect it to a PC to flash the eMMC easily, or (at least on some of them) use usb to provide power and also provide a network connection from your PC to the beagleboard. So with one cable you get power, can ssh in, and have network connectivity to install python packages etc.
You're right, I mixed up USB wall bricks which can have issues like the voltage dropping.
Crossan always seems to be well respected whenever I’ve heard him mentioned by other academics that study historical Christianity. That’s not to say that he doesn’t have some heterodox views, but they at least seem to exist within the broader academic consensus.
Plato says that the story is absolutely true multiple times. I don't think we should blame Plato for what may be attributed to our own ignorance.

Can't the host and guest measure the voltage on each end anyway? They'd just need to communicate it with each other. This would give a full end-to-end voltage drop measurement (including the plug and socket connections at both ends).

Sorry, yes cellphone operating systems is the market I was thinking of.

But my point is you can slice and dice markets in multiple ways, however brands themselves don’t qualify as a market otherwise every brand would be a monopoly and the word stops being meaningful. It’s the expensive watch market not the Rolex watch market.
A single secular state in the Middle East? Isn't that what Israel is already - the 'shining city on the hill' for that whole region of the world? If you're opposed to theocracies or ethnostates, I don't think you'll like any of the realistic prospects for the Palestinian territories.
In a game jam a friend and myself turned the Nand2tetris computer into a working computer on an FPGA board with VGA output. Then we built a small game (game and watch level) using the Nand2Tetris high level language. Very fun.
It used to be against guidelines to serve different content to google vs what users would see. Not sure if still the case, but I don't think it's in google's interest to give a result that the user actually can't access.

I had also assumed it was the school on Lauriston Place in Edinburgh, but apparently that's definitely not true...
My point is even as a rule of thumb it doesn't make sense.

Memorization techniques, basically what's in _Moonwalking with Einstein_ by Josh Foer. Here's a podcast on the topic https://www.ted.com/talks/worklife_with_adam_grant_how_to_re...
The article suggests moving it to contrib, and having it download its stuff post-install.

That seems completely reasonable. If it uses common npm libraries that don’t break api’s every few months, then those could be moved to stable.

I’d rather libraries packaged by debian releases continue to work for more than 30 days than to have them package unsupportable dev packages that bitrots my dev environment every “apt get update”.

It’s kind of amusing to me that there are so many comments saying this is unsustainable, given the fact that multiple BSDs maintain a quality bar similar to Debian’s.
Whatever else happened in those 43 years, we had a widely-exploitable memory corruption vulnerability (Baron Samedit) as recently as 2021.
This may be too late to this thread to matter, but I've been dabbling with GT for a few months, and I like it so far.

I'm using a few of the modalities mentioned in the article.

I use it as for "Pharo development" / Smalltalk IDE. I've tried a few times to learn Pharo and Smalltalk, but I've stuck with GT more than I ever had with raw Pharo. It feels nicer graphically, and, most importantly, it lets me write notes about what I'm doing and exploring and save them as part of the image. That means I can open GT and continue right from where I left off, even if it's been a month since I looked.

I use it for "Personal knowledge management", mostly. Little projects and analyses that occur to me. Nothing fancy, things like writing up why it's easier to get heads-tails in a sequence of coin flips than heads-heads, with a bit of simulation, a writeup of the Markov chain, derivation of expected times, etc. I've done that many times before, but it feels good to have it all together in an aesthetically-pleasing form. Bits on game odds, leetcode-ish algorithms exploration, general computational fiddling.

Once I figured it out, I like the git integration for both code and notebook pages. That goes a long way to reassuring me that the things I do won't be lost. I still don't quite get the Metacello / BaselineOfX dependency management, but I'll get there.

I did a little API browsing, mostly following the "Exploring the GitHub REST API in 7'" video by Oscar Nierstrasz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFwfwy5WZA). That series is excellent and I think does a good job of illustrating the power of the system and how it's different.

But, in general, it feels like a good "tool for thought".
Yes, build time will still be an issue. Hopefully if you get to a point where you’re “happy” with the binary you can avoid build issues for a while
Maybe 2008 doesn't count because that's when they realized you could just print money any time the economy blinked and that would fix everything.
>I went homeless for 1 week with no food. It was my last semester in university and couldn't pay for tuition because my bank acc was locked, so the university dropped my classes and i was not able to graduate, as failing to stay enrolled (international student) i had to go back to my country.

Aside from the bank's fault, this is a failure of basic society functioning on so many levels.

Dropping you because you couldn't pay for tuition for one week? Having to leave the country because you failed to enroll because of that? Being homeless for a week out of a bureucratic mistake?
In this case tenure would work out in Chomsky's favor, and Al Jazeera may as a large media company benefit from signalling that other large media companies are not like itself, by way of providing a costly signal at risk to itself.

YouTube wouldn't care, it prioritizes demonization based on legal fallout. Talking about flak is not a flak topic.
> It's the same with Go, it's rather confusing where packages go, or which version, it's all squirreled away in the go command

Something that was lost when we moved to modules - the system is still the same, it's just that if you never used the old system (GOPATH) or read the manual, then you might be confused about where things have gone.

Also of note is that vendoring was for a time Go's answer to dependency management and can still easily be done, and is supported by the tooling.
