belinder··on I automated my job application process
AI has made hiring especially in technical industry an absolute shit show. I agree with parent comment that ideally government could do something about it but agree with you on how would you even do that. Maybe if they required all the job board companies like indeed and glassdoor and LinkedIn to properly vet candidates else those companies would be fined, but it's hard to imagine a solution that doesn't also hurt unemployed legit human beings
belinder··on I automated my job application process
I was hiring manager for 3 positions about 4 months ago and the amount of fake applications out there was mind boggling to me. I would say 90% were either entirely fake or had the exact same generated ai text. It got so bad that we started only looking at resumes that had a working LinkedIn link.

Also after so many bad resumes I started being very forgiving for the ones that didn't fully match the job requirements if they had something in them that made it seem like a real person, e.g. a personal hobby section. I think a lot of people discourage writing that but I argue it makes you stand out in an ocean of fake and copy pasted junk.

belinder··on FBI recommends using an ad blocker (2022)
For computer health your PC needs an ad blocker, but also for mental health. At what point will the CDC recommend using it

You have to call city hall to get permission to grow grass in your own backyard? Is that a HOA thing or what's going on there that that's required?

Minimum length is dumb too because people just append 1 until it fits
belinder··on Overleaf: An open-source online real-time collaborative LaTeX editor
Been using this for over a decade, back when it was called sharelatex. Always liked it for the free cloud storage, nowadays mostly just use it when I need to update my resume.
belinder··on The Weird Nerd comes with trade-offs
Just a guess here - but to make diagnosed people feel more included and part of a group, the more people get diagnosed even if it's 0.01%, the more safe the others feel because they're not alone, it stops being a stigma
belinder··on Cybercriminals pose as "helpful" Stack Overflow users to push malware
Yes, I would be a lot more concerned about that than people finding stuff on stackoverflow. I can see copilot or some other gpt "suggest" stuff like this soon
belinder··on Takeaways from the Jane Street bond prospectus
Why do they say 179,000 million instead of 179 billion? Is that common in their industry?
belinder··on Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years
Thanks so much for your detailed reply. This looks very cool indeed. I've had a couple tiny projects in F# in the past that never went anywhere, but you're describing essentially all the parts in a programming language that I want, early returns, binds/maps, language support for these features, defining your own keywords (not really but kinda with your expressions)

Excited to try this out

belinder··on Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years
Do you know of or have any shareable (sample) projects implemented in your way of doing F#? It sounds very intriguing to me
belinder··on What Is Wrong with Everyone?
Knowing what out of tune means probably come down to having grown up with a musical instrument that has to be tuned from time to time
belinder··on Show HN: Memories – FOSS Google Photos alternative built for high performance
How does this compare to immich? I spent a few weekends ago setting that up and it's working great, though it doesn't always detect faces correctly and swiping through images is a bit slower than Google photos
belinder··on Hidden GitHub commits and how to reveal them
While I agree that you should rotate accidentally exposed secrets, it should be noted that you can remove old history from git reflog by expiring it

I see git reflog kinda like an OS recycle bin

belinder··on Google cut a deal with Reddit for AI training data
I don't see why Discord would not follow suit if it has not already

Everyone is privacy focused until they're not

belinder··on Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?
Chrome on android

I tried it again now and it's working now

belinder··on Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?
This looks really useful, I've used similar websites in the past but it's nice that it's all together here in one place.

If only you could not have it redirect on load, it makes the back button break. Clicking back to return to hackernews is almost impossible

belinder··on What's that touchscreen in my room?
Cool article! You have a small typo towards the end, coincedence -> coincidence
belinder··on I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy
I would assume the person that made it doesn't speak english, and trusts whatever the LLM gave them
belinder··on The One Billion Row Challenge – .NET Edition
You wrote this on your repo

Can you explain why

Me too, was expecting something about joined government between argentine and chile
belinder··on Exactly How Much Life Is on Earth?
Am I reading this correctly, for every 10 ton of animal biomass there is 1 ton of virus biomass?

Are there really that many viruses out there?

belinder··on Ask HN: Has your YouTube usage decreased?
Haven't noticed issues with ad blocking on laptop nor desktop, using chrome for both. On phone I use YouTube revanced and have no issues either. Logged in to an account on the chrome ones whereas revanced is not logged in. I wonder if this anti ad block is a staggered roll out

I think the CPU will play more of a part when there is a lot to simulate. But in the article they said this was on an empty map
belinder··on Drought in Brazil's Amazon reveals ancient engravings
That article doesn't say they were there the whole time, but that they were (re)introduced a hundred years earlier via mexico
belinder··on Making Rust supply chain attacks harder with Cackle
Yeah I see what you mean, it's not so much about the first time it's deployed but for future updates where you want to update one dependency but another one requires it to stay the way it is
belinder··on Making Rust supply chain attacks harder with Cackle
Wouldn't the library dependency hierarchy have been figured out during development in order to get it to a state that can compile? I'm assuming if you're pinning a dependency you already have something that compiles
belinder··on Farm in Kenya to produce fossil-free fertilizer on site
I'm not sure I understand, you're saying in the Netherlands they have a lot of it, but then for farming you need a lot of it - so is it bad or good?
belinder··on Nobel Prize in Physics Awarded to Agostini, Krausz, and L’Huillier
If academic is all politics and favoritism then wouldn't that also apply to the prizes at the top? The people deciding or at least confirming scientific breakthroughs for stuff like nobel prizes must be scientists too, no? So if it's all politics, why are they immune to it?
