How does it work, anyway?
Under the hood the infrastructure uses LLMs with very clever prompting and a ton of safeguards. It uses your uploaded resume and some info you provide at sign up (in addition to the job description) to intelligently answer whatever random questions the posting has. If it doesn't have a high confidence level in its ability to answer any of the questions, then the application will abort and notify you so that you can apply manually instead. There are also several defense mechanisms to deal with trick questions designed to catch bots.
The system is designed to essentially make your applications seem like they are coming from a real human.
Applications for all users are processed by a queue system that has built-in guardrails that do a few things:

Prevent applying to any single job board too many times a day to avoid being flagged as spam

Ensure each application is processed one at a time since humans don't typically apply to two jobs at once
Double check that you haven't already applied to a specific position before

Spread out subscribed/zero-click applications throughout the day rather than all at once

Ensure any zero-click applications aren't generated for companies that you have already applied 3 times to in the last 3 months

If you subscribe to multiple different Saved Searches with different criteria, then they will be merged, ranked together, and the next best posting will be chosen to apply to

Take a look if you're interested and if you have any feedback you can shoot me a message in the comments, I'd love to hear it!
Questions and criticism are welcome as well.
forget benchmarks. use emacs lisp as a test case. i have yet to find an LLM that can consistently generate working functions in elisp (possibly even lisp itself).
Perhaps we're getting into semantics. Sure, fewer rights necessarily implies cheaper, but not the other way around. "Cheaper" alone fails to get to the heart of the matter.
I don't see a major problem here. Hardware manufacturers can take up the burden of testing their products on Linux, and some already do, like Lenovo certification for Ubuntu (in practice their laptops work perfectly well on other Linux distributions).
It's not like you can't find them on Amazon for cheap. There's also more than one master key it's a whole set. That said, when the lock picking lawyer bought a bunch of TSA locks, they all used master key #7 I think.
> The CFAA[1][2] is an arcane and ancient piece of legislation that could use an overhaul, especially with some of the vague language it contains.

I imagine that this is the reason why the charge is "unlawful transfer of confidential phone records", which is something much more specific.

From PACER, it's also stated that he filled out the CJA23 financial affidavit to demonstrate his inability to afford a lawyer (it's quite something to get caught like this and not even manage to earn enough to pay for a lawyer).

Additionally, "the defendant waives the rights provided by Rule 5 and/or Rule 32.1 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure" means that he is choosing to streamline the initial procedures and is waiving supervised release or probation, suggesting that the prosecution's case is strong and that he is opting for an expedited process.
Ask any random person where they would go to install an app and you'll stop belittling this problem.

I was just thinking about something like this for very small web applications (1,200 line app.py & 600 lines of html templates), something lighter than requiring a working docker install.

a handful of dependencies (mostly Pyramid based at the moment) & whatever dependencies those have, pull it all down & serve it out of a tarball or zip file of a portable virtualenv.
I guess I miscommunicated the thrust of my argument. It seems to me that the paradox presented in the linked article hinges on an assumption that "nobody wants" there to be suffering. This seems flawed to me. There are plenty of people - some of whom are in positions of great power - who are content to generate a large degree of suffering in order to advance personal goals. This is currently very clear in Ukraine and Gaza. But it applies equally well to people that drive shady mergers and acquisitions at the cost of the consumer, or people that push drugs at the cost of addicts' health and relationships.

It's not "nobody wants this", but "sufficiently many people are sufficiently apathetic to continue this state of affairs".
This is gatekeeping. Linux is a kernel. You're talking about userspace which is not part of the Linux kernel project.
I didn't expect Brian Eno, of all people, to so beautifully sum up how I feel about AI.

I especially resonated with his statements on AI not being developed by the public. Meta, Microsoft, Tesla and, by proxy, some venture capitalists being the only entities capable of financing and spear-heading AI development is extremely problematic. This is exactly like the cable and telephone companies of yesteryear attempting to lay claim the early Internet. Our world would look very different had the Internet been a private Gambit from the start.

Not like any of this matters. AI is being force-fed to us like an "airplane" of broccoli heading for a baby's mouth, societal and cultural impacts be damned. Too much money to be made.

Often the docs for a library suck or lack suggestions about suggested structure, but LLM has ingested many open-source example uses from Github etc and so can offer code examples or explanations totally absent from the docs. I find this if a library has lots of comments for individual functions or struct types, but little tutorial-style and module-level docs.

Other times the docs are hundreds of pages, "read all the docs" is too much reading for a simple task, and so asking AI for just the code please is the right move to get started.
Yes, the only exception is dictionaries used in preprocessing, but I think that's mostly a tradeoff to reduce the runtime.
Back in the day I used to consult for Sony Ericsson. We had like 5000 engineers writing C code that ran as a single executable in a single address space(!). Memory corruption was rampant. So rampant in fact that when we finally got an MMU it took months before we could turn it on in release builds, because there were so many memory corruption bugs even in the released product. The software just wouldn’t work unless it could overwrite memory here and there.
To be honest, building a JSON feed consumer with a web frontend is a weekend project nowadays.

Hosting it costs money and requires more work but… deploying a simple app is something that you should have in your skillset anyway.

With a cloudflare tunnel, you can run it on a Mac Mini at home.
The reality is I can just target winforms on windows, or GDI if I need that.

To open a window there is exactly one way if I want it.

To open a window on Linux do I call into X11 or wayland? Do I need to also provide a DRM layer for incase it needs to be run directly ontop of DRM because BIG_USER_WITH_MONEY wants that.

Should I use QT to get a decent UI library, or GTK, or one of the many other less popular ones.

As a developer that would want to release a GUI app it's not extremely easy to pick for linux. There's no clear guidelines stating X has these features but Y doesn't (winforms vs whatever Microsoft's latest attempt at UI is).

Let's not even get into actually needing to ship a fully cross platform app. C# is blessed on windows, swift on MacOS and C on linux... Which means all the business logic will end up at the very least exporting a C API if I'm not deciding to just bite the bullet and pay QT.

All this ia why you will likely find that someone will develop a Windows release and maybe MacOS if they have a userbase that can justify the development cost. Maybe they are nice and run a test on wine and treat that as a supported platform but I only know of exactly one company that does that outside of maybe some game devs.

And that doesn't even touch anything in the article on why Linux on the desktop won't happen because the 1% of devs that went down this rocky road then also finds ABI breaks.
That... Sounds scary.
Yeah it's a common problem, but it is in the nature of open source to be done by enthusiasts (of course it can be done by professionals/enterprises, but I think it's fair to say that most open source software stems from a personal need).

I'm really not judging any project, because a working solution that is done by enthusiastic amateurs is better than no solution at all and let's be honest, most of my code is amateurish at best/hacked in a week/month as well.

It's only bad if you see a project heading in the wrong direction and not being able to stop this, but for this god invented forks ;)

What's interesting is that rigid culture that forced us to do adult behaviors despite retaining juvenile traits, now when it's getting lifted and replaced with freedom to do whatever you please might leave many individuals maladapted from the evolutionary standpoint to prolonging their genetic line. Which I think is perfectly fine. New generations that are better adapted to the culture of hi-tech freedom will arise from the few that currently accidentally already do the evolutionarily correct thing.

I don't like the spaces inside the camelCase but I do think spacing should be something IDEs fix for you, say for example a project uses 2 space indentation and you like 4, the IDE should be able to render virtual spaces without source changes.

Same for multiline strings, it should be able to render the whole block aligned to the start of the string without extra padding in the other lines.

Funny about backlinks — Notion has had them since 2020 and I've never once looked at the backlinks for a given page. I don't think any of my pages link to each other.
I tend to think it’s not really possible for volunteer open source to directly compete with tech corporations when it comes to polish and cohesion of a large end-user ecosystem—it’s just too much cat herding and uphill battle even to agree on a vision.

That said, Linux has other advantages that corporations will never touch because it doesn’t make business sense. I’m really glad it’s still there as a bulwark against enshittification and all computing freedom being taken away from individuals.
Yes memory safe languages would absolutely help here. In Rust you would get a compile time error about the destination variable not living long enough.

This sort of stuff is why any productivity arguments for C++ over Rust are bullshit. Sure you spend a little more time writing lifetime annotations, but in return you avoid spending 5 days debugging one memory corruption bug.

Trying to equate government mandated censorship to private company policy censorship is a wholly dishonest sleight of hand.
Prediction is a huge part of what intelligence does. I was questioning “prediction maximalism.”

Intelligence is also very good at pattern recognition. Did people once argue for pattern recognition maximalism?

Biological (including human) intelligence is clearly multi-modal and I strongly believe there are aspects that are barely understood if at all.

The history of CS and AI is a history of us learning how to make machines that are unbelievably good at some useful but strictly bounded subset of what intelligence can do: logic, math, pattern recognition, and now prediction.

I think we may still be far from general intelligence and I’m not even sure we can define the problem.
Is the reason GNU doesn't use these kernel features aggressively that they want to be portable? Or something else?
In the country he was transiting through en-route to his final destination in South America, before POTUS deliberately and specifically revoked his passport after ensuring Snowden had landed at his layover airport, in order to construct and disseminate the false narrative you're currently regurgitating.
Sorry to hear it. I used QModem (as well as any other package I could get my hands on) in the mid 1980's quite a lot. Was active in the BBS scene for my area, (and Compuserve, and GEnie, and others), and have many fond memories of those days. They were MY "golden years of computing" where every month something revolutionary seemed to come out.

5 1/4's; 300-1200 baud modems, x/y/z modem transfer protocols, programming in BASIC mostly at home, Pascal in high school, reading Byte magazine, typing in endless rows of DATA statements, "+++" attacks, "ATDT" vs "ATTD" arguments... I miss all of it.
I remember when you launched your product on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19163081

I favorited it back then. Glad to see it's doing well, it looks like a cool product. I haven't found a reason to use it yet but that's also because I have slowed down on coding personal projects after work in general.
The article mentions the causation problem but doesn't follow it up. I can't find where or if they have a control case, e.g., measure some other external common substance, like wood or rock dust, in the body and see if it also correlates with lesions. I expect it would too.
The people involved in this have all the reason to blame China or Chinese backed groups for this, but has there been any actual evidence released that confirms this? Attribution is notoriously difficult and the only thing the public has to go on is the word of people involved.

Yet when one reads these articles it's just, "China, China, China!!!"

Anyone have a link to actual evidence?
I think having supermaven or cursor-style IDE integration is really key to making LSP worth it, otherwise friction around the workflow overwhelms the gains for many tasks. Like, I would never use AI to generate code or tests if it involved copy-pasting code in and out of webpage text boxes. But with IDE integration, I often write a function signature and doc comment with no plans to ask AI for anything, but the AI happens to offer a correct tab completion of the whole function. That's great, much less typing for me.
That's definitely it !
> That's one way of dealing with it.

Windows can be reinstalled, Linux bugs never go away by themselves.

> You chose to debug the issue and help.

No, people don't do that in Windows because Microsoft has much better QA/QC. Not a single Windows update since 1998 has rendered my system unbootable. Microsoft is certainly not perfect and Windows sometimes has regression but those normally affect very few people.

> Is it tens of thousands, or hundreds?

Windows installation user base: 2 billion. Linux: 40 million. Have fun with mental gymnastics.

> You choose to live on the bleeding edge, and so you bleed.

There's a huge number of bugs affecting "stable" Linux distros that use "stable" software including the kernel. Linux bugs are not specific to the bleeding edge but they are more prominent.

Here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219638

> Well, your entire comment is a rant: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rant

This is not a counter argument and I will not waste any more of my time with you. Try using the dictionary argument with your children, "You are a retard, my boy! Why? Look it up in the Merriam Webster dictionary, that's why".
That's obviously outside the scope of the language's safety model, and it would be quite hard to do that accidentally.
> As far as I know it's the only browser allowing extensions on phones

In iOS, Orion browser allows both chrome and firefox extensions. Not all of them actually work, but ub:o does. Prob the only way to run ub:o on an iphone.
I'm not so sure. The bug was that when an exception occurred while select was blocked then select did not properly clean up after itself. But no code in select actually dealt with exceptions at all, so handling it doesn't really make sense.

Without exceptions the possible control flow is entirely explicit. It would have at least been obvious that cleanup wasn't properly handled in the select function for all cases.
Still perfectly relevant today as well.
> the two-party system is more stable than any other political systems: To people, it may seem like a cycle of mess, but the system itself is very stable, it avoids the regime change by normalizing it.

How is that makes the two-party system more stable than any other political systems. all what you say normalizing regime change does apply on all democratic systems. So you don't have the choices (both party does actually suck on many mutual aspects) but also don't gain much stability than other democratic system. In parliament system there is usually more acceptance and normalization of changes than the two-party system when you get stuck between worse and the worst most of the time.

Not sure if i agree, in my exp the amount of tech debt is rather dependent on the managment style. What engineers work on the software, how experienced are those engineers, what are the organisational factors etc.
Freezing background apps just isn't needed all that much if you run a fully FLOSS system. It's much more of a concern for proprietary software where you don't have the source code available. There's a similar story for sandboxing actually, it's not a coincidence that it's been getting more popular as proprietary apps have been made widely available via Flathub and the like.

To be fair, there's probably not a lot that "humans" add when the solution is solved in 4 and 5 seconds respectively. That's clearly 100% automated. Most humans can't even read the problem in that timeframes.

A better implication would be that proper use of LLMs implies more than OP did here (proper prompting, looping the answer w/ a code check, etc.)

I think about designing your ideal solver. What do you want in a solver. I want my solver to squeeze all the juice out of the train that it possibly can and no more. If your problem is complete noise, I don’t want my solver getting 100% train accuracy as all SGD methods I am aware of do and as the soup method likely would as well as I am not averaging memorization thetas. I want my solver to score 0% train accuracy as GAF does. There may be other ways of getting there as well.
Can anyone recommend a supported phone that is small in size?
Linux is "just" an OS kernel.

A relevant discussion would be if an OS built on Linux such as Fedora workstation, Ubuntu desktop, RHEL or even ChromeOS is ready for general desktop use. But that would be more work because you would actually have to test and evaluate different features and eco-system support.

> Most big tech companies very rarely/never let a human review private customer data. Therefore I'm fine handing all the data over to big tech companies.

This isn't true. Google and Apple and others turn over user data to human analysts at NSA and FBI and others without search warrants all of the time, on hundreds of thousands of user accounts per year.

To be fine handing all the data over to big tech companies, you have to be fine handing all of the data over to US federal cops and intelligence services, too, because that's what giving the data (in non-e2ee form) to big tech means.
