  • 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.

  • She's a much better candidate than Biden, and Biden was a much better candidate than trump or Hillary Clinton. It's been eight years, or closer to ten if you include the campaign season for the 2016 election. People are rightfully excited about Harris. You're absolutely right that we can do better, but this is the most excited I've ever been for a candidate. I was pessimisticly excited for Obama, but was afraid he wouldn't be able to win the general election.

  • While the "full-blown timeline" for the vaccine being approved "might be many years away" the visible impact could be sooner.

    Professor Ahmed added that, through clinical trials, he would hope to start seeing the vaccine's impact "in four or five years on the healthy population".

    This is really exciting. I wonder if vaccines could be developed for other cancers using a similar technique?

  • I somehow missed that people were hoarding tp again. Imagine my surprise yesterday when I went to buy some and found nearly the entire aisle bare. Luckily there was plenty of the store brand, so I guess people were panick buying but not panicked enough to consider a different brand.

  • NFIP insurance is pretty limited, I think $250k structure and $100k contents. It also doesn't cover things like additional living expenses, which would include a hotel while you're displaced. It's also often your only choice, though. It's something that every home owner needs to consider for themselves based on the flood risk of their area.

  • That was already done over fifty years ago through the national flood insurance program, NFIP.

    PSA: If you are in a flood prone area, your lender may require you to purchase flood insurance. But did you know that some communities will argue against changes to the flood maps that would show them as being in a flood prone area? This means you may be at a higher risk for flooding than the federal maps would suggest. You can still buy flood insurance through the NFIP, though.

    Here's a "myths and facts about flood insurance" page from FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20230425/fact-sheet-myths-and-facts-about-flood-insurance

  • 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.

  • this day was especially bad and I desperately need the crutch, or especially nice and I feel like I wanna celebrate it somehow

    This is food for so many families. Having a bad day? Let's go get some dessert to make you feel better. A good day? Let's celebrate with a big meal.

  • The video also looks like he's making an M sound (closed lips) than an N sound (open lips). Grammatically, I also don't think including "Haitian" makes sense if the next word is a slur.

    I'm all for calling out the actual content on the conversation as the absolute nonsense that it is, but this specific headline seems like a bit of a reach.
