General advice, make at least a slightly different resume for each group / organization / company that you're applying to that are targeted to their hiring spiel and filtering forms.

The concept is not that bad, as you can break up the resume into blocks of info, and then just rearrange based on whatever the job posting really wants to emphasize.

Even just rearranging the primary skills (languages, frameworks, ect..) around into a feature block targeted toward the specific recruiter may help. Some people are diligent about reading through resumes and trying to give each a chance. However, when the tragedy of the commons gets bad enough, and people can just LLM-spam responses, the interest in "give each a chance" probably goes down.

Ex: UK.Indeed has 3100 software engineer jobs in the last 2 weeks listed. https://uk.indeed.com/jobs?q=software+engineer&fromage=14&vj...

A GitHub, Inc job has: "React experience on a senior level. 3+ years of hands-on experience in modern web stacks." Your resume has a listing for React, yet its not clear if that was a major component, or just some minor detail. "Worked on backend and frontend systems for this fashion retailer" And the description sounds like a lazy highschooler. To get the job you would have to tell them why you actually have web-stack skill GitHub would care about.

J.P. Morgan job has: "Proficient in coding in React, TypeScript, JavaScript" You have those, they're just mostly buried and not emphasized. The job also has "Familiarity with Investment Banking, FinTech, or Financial Markets" You (appear) to have those. "Worked on industry-leading tools used by cinema chains to
manage their estates." However, it is in no way emphasized and if it was just sent out shotgun, would probably be ignored in favor of a resume that emphasized the React, Typescript and FinTech work.
Err you still need to pump mud down hole with a sonic drill rig.

A sonic drill rig is exactly like a normal conventional core drill rig it just has the capacity to set a vibration frequency down the rod string. So you can twist and shake rather than just twist.

It still needs mud pumped down hole to remove cuttings. Only reason it wouldn't need mud is if your doing like 10m holes and you raw dog it or your drilling RC (which uses air to blast the cuttings out). Which is waaaaay to loud for operation near town.

It's basically a small drill rig w a vibrator on it. Those sonics are only good for 1000' (I assume that's ft... which is hilariously small, even at yards it's only just scratching 900m which is 300m less than a low end old world UDR1000 can punch day in day out with its eyes closed.)

Well, many don't. I would be curious what percentage Americans are actually spending on their cars and whether it is actually as little car as they truly need. Monthly payments might be that low if they are spread out enough.

Show HN: TurboScribe GPT – Transcribe and chat with audio and video files
Hey all! My name's Leif and I wanted to share a GPT I just made public over the weekend. The TurboScribe GPT allows you to chat with audio & video files (ChatGPT Plus required).

Check it out: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-Mc1tBt7gp-turboscribe

Here's how it works:

Upload files via the TurboScribe website and we'll transcribe them to accurate text (this is super fast and the first 3 files per day are 100% free!). You can even use a link to a YouTube video, file stored in Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive, etc.

Ask the TurboScribe GPT about your audio/video files. It will instantly (!) pull in the full transcripts (even long ones!) and you can now do whatever you'd like: summarize, ask questions, create detailed outlines, create content, and more!

Would love folks to try it out and let me know how it goes!
I’m guessing you’re not an actor?

Some software-related work, like regular changes to a website, or regular SRE work, is understandable and relatively repeatable.

Software development work usually isn't. Software development, by its nature, automates away everything repeatable and predictable, so unpredictable and never-before-seen stuff dominates.

WAME's response is offensive. I cannot honestly believe they thought this would actually go anywhere positive.

The violation of creators and artists with AI tools (copyright violation, impersonation/likeness stealing) is a serious matter that a lot of people aren't taking seriously or respecting.

The biggest problem seems to be with companies exploiting that law and/or courts haven't kept up with technology, and companies trying to run past that and grab billions/trillions before the government finally steps in (and it's too late, like Uber and Airbnb ignoring regulations).

There's a lesser problem with random people piggybacking onto those company efforts, and contributing to the problem like a thousand papercuts, as well as helping to normalize the violations.

Between Section 174 and the post-ZIRP environment, I think the shift is here to stay. I'm a senior software engineer, 8+ years of experience, applying to jobs I'm perfectly qualified for only to hear the exact same things you're mentioning - The position has already been filled, we're changing our staffing plans for the new year, taking a new direction, etc... I've also been getting into the 2nd and 3rd stages of interviews, making it past technical interviews, only to still get the cold shoulder at some point afterwards.

FWIW, I do think that companies right now are overreacting in the negative direction and will pay for it down the line. Layoffs always have a sort of viral feel to them, IMO, and I think the pendulum will swing back in the other direction, but it won't be soon.
"Table sugar" and HFCS are, chemically, the same thing.

HFCS has the commercial benefit of being substantially cheaper than cane sugar, in part via massive subsidy by the US federal government, and in part because maize is so fantastically productive of starch cheap to convert to glucose and thence via chemical-engineered wizardry to fructose.

HFCS originated as a clever way to consume the massive influx of surplus maize produced by the Nixon adminstration's agricultural subsidies for mono-crop maize production instituted under Earl Butz, still in place. The public health catastrophe we still suffer is just an unfortunate side effect of the disproportionately representated rural voting bloc that keeps the subsidies in place.

Have you checked your operating system? On macOS, in Chrome and Safari, you can select any text on a page and just go to Speech -> Start speaking and it'll read it using the built-in TTS from your OS.

You might want to change the default voice (under macOS Settings -> Accessibility -> Spoken Content) to "Siri - Voice 4", which will sound much better than the default Samantha.

If you click on "Manage voices", you can also download other voices.

AI won't replace you. It will enhance you and give you way too much work to cram into a small window of time. AI will be a series of trials and errors first, before it becomes something that you will learn how to finetune.

> people can be very passionate about their tools.

I’m aware. It’s not a coincidence that I started my examples with Vim and Emacs, the classic flamewar. There’s nothing wrong with being passionate for something, that’s not the argument. My point is that just because you like something you don’t have to be against an alternative. Nix and Homebrew, Vim and Emacs, these are parallel tools which can coexist, not rivals in a reality show.

> I wouldn’t take posts like this so personally. Instead, use content like this to help you explore new tools. If you like it, great! If not, move on. Simple as that.

There’s nothing to take personally, and I do explore tools which interest me.

I feel like you haven’t read or understood my point at all. You’re ostensibly disagreeing while making the same point. I’m advocating precisely for the unwarranted negativity to stop. If you want to talk about why you love something, do, there’s no need to send subtle jabs at something else other people are working on and sharing for free. That’s incredibly demotivating for developers and leads to burnout, for nothing.
Somewhat related, I recently wanted to fix a slow nfs problem (1 server, 1 client -- basically, a file server and a machine with some GPUs). It turns out that used previous generation mellanox 100gig NICs are quite cheap now, and you can direct-connect two machines for about $600.

(What I really wanted was the low latency, but the bandwidth is handy to have sometimes)
Another note with this, the job titles look worse or less impressive with increasing time. There may not be much you can do about the impressiveness, yet rearranging to emphasize other work / skills may help.

"Worked on industry-leading tools" -> "Worked on a research project" -> "Created a 3D experience" (which like others have mentioned sounds like "wrote an app")

>It’s funny how poor people are always the victims in these schemes.

Working as intended.
I bought a Mac Mini M2 last year to start playing around with some personal projects, and I did some tests using LM Studio running Mixtral models with pretty good throughput, I also tested Open AI's whisper models to do some transcriptions and those ran fine as well.

I do, however, recommend that you upgrade the RAM, 8GB is barely enough as is, so getting at least 16GB would be better. (I don't recommend upgrading the SSD though, since because of Thunderbolt 4 you can have a fast external SSD for half the price that Apple charges for storage).
From my personal experience…

Keeping a project clean and well organised requires a lot of effort, discipline in addition to rigorous code reviews, as people leave and new ones join, things get interesting too!

As the project grows, its normal that you get some messy code here and there remember what they say about perfection being bad? The best you can do is to make that happen in non-core parts of the project that you convince yourself with a comment that it will be refactored in the future (it will not).

You could do it well for months, years, then the code base passes to a new team and in just a couple of months they mess it in a way you never imagined, I guess that’s the nature of software development!

I've given up my car for over a year now. I put roughly 200 miles on my bike every month, and I utilize transit when unwilling/unable to bike. It's very stress-free not needing to park/store, insure, and maintain a machine that largely sits idle. I can do most bike maintenance myself, and for anything I can't manage myself, there's a half-dozen bike mechanics within a 10 minute bus ride of my apartment.

I've also never been healthier.
> Nix is not a drop in replacement for homebrew, nor is it fast when it comes to community updates.

I am certain there are some exceptions and edge cases to this, but in my experience nixpkgs is the largest and most up-to-date repository of all, by a wide margin. Did you use nixpkgs-unstable or a stable release?
Yeah, that's the problem with tap water in particular, it's not sterile unless treated.

> nobody really cares if you can show that something was AI generated after the fact, the first impression is all that counts.

This is true, but if it's detectable platforms (IG, twitter, etc) can display a warning/notice when AI generated content is posted

> The smart ones are already trying to figure out how to use these tools, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and which areas of law are going to be affected less (litigation versus transaction).

I don't think it matters much. Eventually most AI tools will be as easy to use as a smartphone. Why waste time learning ever changing AI workflows and APIs at this point.

I think it also applies to programming languages.

With modern cars regularly lasting into 300,000 miles, it makes sense that we would see fewer people buying new cars. There are a lot of used cars with plenty of life left in them. Most people also buy used homes instead of new.

Use Nix on a Mac they say, it’s easy. Just follow this 20 page long blog post and then spend every day fighting against how the OS wants to work.

I’ve tried Nix on a Mac half a dozen times. It always ends with frustration.

Homebrew works amazingly if you actually want to be on a Mac. If you HATE everything about MacOS and Apple and someone forced you to use a Mac, then use Docker and Nix inside of that.

Nix should never be used on a Mac. It is a philosophical disaster. Don’t do it. Delete the repos and the world will be better off.
