I can tell you, as a hiring manager I never once looked at a cover letter. Let me see what your resume tells about you.

Ngl. I bought a signal jammer for my wife to use in her classroom (after all, it said “for educational purposes only”) and the kids could never figure out why the signal sucked so bad in her classroom during class times. She never got caught using it and never had to worry about them being on their phones.

If there was an emergency, people would just call the front office and they could always reach her on the land line in the classroom.

Because we all know how perfect documentation is. 😂

No shit. I was reading as I was scrolling and I read “Old Trek” and saw Data and it didn’t make sense. It’s literally called “The Next Generation” because it was new after TOS.

Oof. I feel this. Or when a position has been posted on LinkedIn for only 2-3 hours and already has over 100 applications.

Is that a bike lane on what is basically a highway?!

So here’s what I don’t get. LLMs were trained on data from places like SO. SO starts losing users ,and thus content. Content that LLMs ingest to stay relevant.

So where will LLMs get their content after a certain point? Especially for new things that may come out or unique situations. It’s not like it’ll scrape the answer from a web page if people are just asking LLMs.

WSL2 now supports WSLg which allows you to run X11 (or other graphics packages) natively now.

So besides the brownie points, im curious what having it open sourced will benefit. Not like you can fork it to run on a different OS. You can make some extensions but to do what? You can’t really tie it further in to the host OS unless you know of some undocumented Win32 APIs.

Maybe im just not thinking creatively enough.

Teach a brother how? I swear I couldn’t find it anywhere in the account settings.

So effectively, they don’t do what GOG is doing.

 

So this may be the wrong place to ask, but I’m curious if anyone has ever heard of headhunters that work for a candidate? Almost every recruiter and firm that I’ve seen only works on behalf of a company, or only cares if you match a role that they’re searching for.

I’ve always wondered if there are services were people will search on your behalf. Paid is fine as it is a pain now with everything being distilled down with AI.

 

I’ve seen 4 site on FB (I know I know) all offering the same exact item (a mag safe adjustable phone stand that can clip to things or has a tripod and adjusts). They are literally all the same thing for the same price. I would assume they’re from the same manufacturer. So how can I find out which is the real source, or does it matter and just pick one.

 

So I’m looking for a new set of beard/other clippers as my current one finally fell apart after almost 20 years. I’m looking for a professional, corded one that you can put different size guards on. So Lemmy Men, what are you using?

 

So I’ll be traveling in such a way that I’ll be crossing the US border. I want to take a burner phone so I can wipe it, or have innocuous enough data. The problem: all my passwords are stored in a password manager that uses 2FA tied to my primary phone which will be sitting at home (along with other sites that use 2FA tied to authenticators on my phone).

So remembering passwords is out. And not having access to 2FA presents a catch-22. So what’s the best way to approach that?

 

I’d like to join you guys on your side of the pond, but i need to look for an in. Im willing to figure out the legalities, etc, but first and foremost I’d need a job. Do you guys have any suggestions for job boards to use that focus on EU countries? Specific focus in the technical field is a plus.

 

What age would you choose? Mentally you still keep growing and you keep your normal life span. Also, what age are you currently?

 

I’ve seen some friends that keep their places like caves; all curtains and blinds closed with maybe some lights on. Some even going so far as to put up foil and completely blocking out light. I like having blinds and curtains open with maybe just a sheer curtain to diffuse the light but I enjoy it being bright. So how do you like your space lit with natural light?

 

Has it also been affecting the price of chicken? I know that egg prices were a sticking point from the election so there’s a focus on that, but if it’s an avian flu that’s affecting chickens, would that also cause the price of any chicken product to go up? I feel like I haven’t heard anything around meat prices going up.

 

In the series, corporations get a bailout when things get bad, collude to make it worse with profits over people and then basically buy off world governments in a reverse bail out to take control of the system. With a “Corporate Congress” and all people having a “life debt”.

Oh, and the time travel aspect of it is pretty cool too.

 

I’ve seen neighborhoods that advertise as “active adult living” and are 55+ only. Given that age is a protected class, how can that do that? How is that not the same as an “active white living” community that bans other races?

 

We’re going broad with this one given the population and the size.

 

Some ideas are:

  • You branch off into another timeline and your actions make no difference to the previous timeline
  • You’ve already taken said actions but just didn’t know about it so nothing changes
  • Actions taken can have an effect (so you could suddenly erase yourself if you killed your parents)
  • Only “nexus” or fixed events really matter, the timeline will sort itself out for minor changes
  • something else entirely
