Black is the new beige.

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?

If you ate two pounds of cheese a day every day (about 3700 calories), it would take 66 years to get through all 22 metric tons.

I enjoy trying to figure out if sovcits are using some special magic grammar or just making normal non magic typos.

Why not Firefox with ublock origin?

The bot serves a very important purpose. It teaches users about the block function. I really tried to tolerate it, but it’s just like those pinned automod comments on reddit.

It’s good, but I didn’t think it was worth fighting wars over.

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!

unique breathing mechanic, where you have to press a button to inhale and release the button to exhale

I get that a satirical game about the pandemic probably just isn’t my cup of tea, but this breathing mechanic sounds like such unnecessary tedium.

Open EVSE is the only open source charger I’ve heard about, but I haven’t used their products before.

Good thing Biden isn’t running anymore.

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.

The fact that users wanting a “feature complete” product at launch is seemingly news to them is absurd.

The weird grammar and punctuation is usually part of the shtick.

Any suggestions for spiritual sequels?

And paying $100 each seems high, but who am I to question the whims of the rich.
