Woosh, hopefully?

I kissed four so the universe is now back in balance and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Reading through the comments on the original post, this sounds like a nightmare for everyone involved. Someone suggested that this just levels the playing field by using automation to get past automation and will in theory force companies to review manually, but what company is going to see 1000 to 10,000 applications to a single job in a day and think, “Wow, my automated application reviewer isn’t up to this task. Time to look at these all one by one!”? No, they’re going to be glad they have an automaton tool and double down on using it.

To answer your original question, I don’t know how real it is or if any of those fifty interviews are for positions the candidate is well suited for. I’m just glad I’m not a recent/upcoming graduate trying to get my foot in the industry’s metaphorical door.

It looks like you want an AI summary of what users thought about your comment, is that right? Here you go!

Open EVSE is the only open source charger I’ve heard about, but I haven’t used their products before.

Isn’t paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search “what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?” I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.

DDG didn’t provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.

This type of summary wouldn’t be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.

Experian has a program where you connect your bank account and they monitor transactions for things that could improve your credit by a couple points. I’m sure they’re not also harvesting the rest of your data to use in their analytics, right?

Criminal prosecution and civil liability are different. If the criminal conviction also includes restitution (pay for the damages) then there likely wouldn’t be a need for a civil suit, but it’s possible that the suit is to go after additional damages. For example, the criminal conviction might include $1000 in restitution to cover the property damage, but the civil suit might ask for money to cover lost revenue for the time the car was out of service.

This nonsense is part of why I prefer to work for smaller companies.

I don’t mind when it’s an obvious break followed by a new scene. I do mind when the break is in the middle of a scene and they essentially replay the last thirty seconds before continuing the story. It just feels very disjointed and dated.

Yes, the used ones are still pretty good though. I think the ID3 and ID4 are the successors to the eGolf.

Volkswagen E-golf seems to fit your description.

What’s the point of those types of bots, though? I guess they’re just trying to have vaguely genuine looking accounts to use for some future purpose, maybe political or advertising related.

What I don’t miss from reddit is the bot comments. Not the novelty bots that reply if your comment is in alphabetical order or something like that, but actual chat gpt responses to regular posts or comments.

I have no idea what the point of them is, but they’re awful.

insurance invalidation

For clarity, if you do a stupid job at your DIY solar installation and it burns your house down, that is likely a covered cause of loss. There isn’t a policy exclusion for stupidity, unfortunately.

There may be an exclusion for the panels themselves since you could argue that improper workmanship was the proximate cause of loss, but the ensuing damage would likely be covered.

A similar scenario would be an improper plumbing repair flooding your house. Insurance won’t pay to redo the plumbing that was wrong, but it will pay to fix the water damage.

Sorry, the term HEB is already taken by Texas groceries.

It’s still way more awesome than cable ever was. Sure you can have all the services all at once and pay as much as a cable bill, or you can rotate your subscriptions and pay way less.

Peacock disabled auto play previews for a while and it was great. But that was only because the whole screen would go black for a couple seconds as it tried to load the preview. They fixed that issue and now the previews are back. Mute button is doing a lot of great work these days.

Being a developer at a non tech company is great. My role tends to blur between salesforce amin and developer, but that’s partly because of the small size of the company (less than 100 employees total, less than 10 in IT).

Yes, non usb network adapters with Bluetooth are available.
