There shouldn’t be worms in the poop of a healthy dog. This analogy just keeps getting better and more accurate.

One nice spring morning I had my windows open. I smelled something awful and started looking around for where the dog had ruined the carpet. Nope, it was just the neighbor’s Bradford pear in full bloom. Such a disgusting scent.

Unless it’s a Bradford pear.

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?

And so do your ears, via the Eustachian tubes! They drain to your throat, I don’t know how close the eye/ear drains are to each other.

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.

The task bar is my main reason for staying on 10. Forced grouping with icons only and no option to change it is such a bizarre design decision.

Edit: Sounds like my last major gripe with W11 has been fixed! Dreading a forced switch to 11 much less now.
