One developer job on LinkedIn - 1100 applicants, 1000+ don’t even live in the right region, so clearly it’s automated and they’re not reading even basic requirements.
Next time - video interviews all the way through. Any hint of AI in the interview process, they’re done. If a different person shows up for the first day of the job, they’re done.
GPS data as it relates to location names, people, cultures, path finding.
Do they use GPS based data?
Feels like there’s data all around us.
Sure they’ve hit the wall with obvious conversations and blog articles that humans produced, but data is a by product of our environment. Surely there’s more. Tons more.
Or maybe I'm just noticing more.
I've been on HN since 2007.
There was that story a few weeks ago with the aging parents and their daughter that took a picture of them waving goodbye, each year she visited.
I like these stories. It gives me pause and to wonder what it's all been for.
Probably for my kids. My second oldest (9) loves creating levels in Geometry Dash. He'll probably be an engineer.
He asks great questions. He can teach himself new tricks from YouTube videos. He asks for critical feedback on his levels. That's a good start.
I'm just rambling.
They have all of these extensions that they use to prop up the results in the web UI.
I was asking for a list of related YouTube videos - the UI returns them.
Ask the API the same prompt, it returns a bunch of made up YouTube titles and descriptions.
How could I ever rely on this product?
Any child of any ability, race, socioeconomic background has a right to an education.
That is promise of public education.
The charter school can be selective. They can deny education.
The charter school - better for your child? Sounds like it.
Better for society, no.
I called before hand, trying to figure out what I would owe afterwards.
No one could give me a price. It’s all vague, we don’t know answers.
It’s absurd.
I basically got stern - eventually somebody is going to send me a bill with a number on it, so someone knows what this will cost.
Still never got a solid number out of them.
It handless authentication, storing if auth tokens, can run periodic jobs without managing any infra.
Its great.
Re-Render the full page server side, app takes response, applies only the changes needed. Preserves scrolling state, etc.
Super simple pattern for building dynamic sites.
Strangely, I looked at OpenAI's offering.
Despite it being crazy expensive, they also didn't offer a reference implementation anywhere close to the functionality that is demo'ed in the regular ChatGPT app.
Nobody seems to get the interruptions correct - people are doing all sorts of weak workarounds like push-to-talk, etc.
iOS and Android.

How would you go about writing the recommendation algorithm?
Would love your input.
But from my kids' viewing habits, I don't see it. The algorithm is seems super narrowly focused.

Andrej Karpathy commented on the narrowness of the algorithm just the other day.
If my kid watches an hour of unboxing toy videos, I shouldn't have to try and disable 3,000 channels of toy unboxings in an effort for that topic to never surface again.
The thumbs down button essentially has zero effect.

Diversity of thought and topic is much more critical when they are kids.
It allows us to control the algorithm. It’s all LLM translating to YouTube search queries under the hood.
Visually it looks the same.
The suggested videos come from predefined buckets on topics they love.
E.g. 33% fun math, 33% DIY engineering, 33% creative activities.
Video recommendations that have a banned word in the title/desc don't get displayed e.g. MrBeast, anything with Minecraft in it, never gets surfaced.
For anyone interested in using it, send me an email.

You're grossly underestimating the problem.
40+% of the population are obese.
This isn't just a few pounds to lose. This is 60, 70, 100lbs.
The task is to lose the weight forever.
For which long term weight loss success numbers are abysmal.
Struggling with food, being extremely overweight the rest of your life, and not being able to play with your kids because of it?
We have the data.

It’s a net positive, saving lives right now.
Even those hard, messy, I don’t think you’ll like me or you’ll think I’m crazy thoughts.
“I will be truthful with you and you with me, and we will find ourselves in this knowing.
People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth.
When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them and their response is “you’re safe with me” - that’s intimacy.”
— Taylor Jenkins Reid
Testosterone replacement therapy, highly refined protein powders, nootropics, etc.
We’re all trying to make the best of what’s given, revert mistakes, live longer.
All options are on the table.
They're not new.
Likely, you will at some point revert to unhealthy habits and become fat again.
Long-term weight loss success numbers are abysmal.
You have to risk the relationship - the very thoughts you fear, the thoughts "Oh, I could never ask that, they'll hate me."
Those thoughts. You have to voice them.
It's the only way to maintain intimacy and reveal who you truly are.
