- dddrh parentUsing the lite subdomain is a great way to read all the subscriber articles as well. Was reminded of the lite site during some annoyingly aggressive A/B testing CNN was doing a few months back.

- You could not have designed a more effective version of a “Manchurian Candidate” in my opinion.
In fact, this administration has been so effective and brazen that if you were to try and write this as fiction, the scope and scale of what is occurring would be deemed unbelievable and would require toning down for the audience.
- Adding a topline response echoing the same thing.
Been on the job hunt since October 1, and have done hundreds of applications, yet only spoken to 3 companies, and made it past the hiring manager once.
I’m a technical product manager with 10+ years and most recently was head of product at a healthtech company. It seems like none of my experience or background matters for the initial screen.
The most frustrating part has been spending time to update a resume and a cover letter to get a rapid rejection obviously done via AI. The fastest rejection I’ve received was 2 minutes.
It is at the point where the information-asymmetry between company and applicant is so high that I don’t think it is worth the time or effort to craft a customized resume and cover letter to match the job description. Not even with the “help” of LLMs.
The promise of Remote hiring now is proving to be a double-edged sword. It can be easier to get hired, but it means competing in an almost global applicant pool.
As a way to keep me occupied I’m building a personal tool to journal my work history and use the journal as a source to leverage an LLM to customize my resume and cover letter to a job description that sounds like me. Just need to keep the momentum up for both the continued job hunt and personal projects.
Though its starting to wear on me.
Hi from Austin!Location: Austin, TX Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Node/Javascript/Svelte, SQL, CLisp, Front end web. Good enough to be dangerous. Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ylLxBQZ8hH6mifvUNydk9cFF2NKSMDih/view?usp=drive_link Email: don.r.hogan@gmail.comIf you are looking for a Growth minded technical product manager to be the first product hire then I'm the guy you are looking for.
I'm a senior product leader that has experience in large companies and pre-seed startups. I'm looking another founding product manager or first product manager role in a small and remote friendly startup or one based in Austin. I've got deep technical experience and my "superpower" is that I can speak to engineering teams with the understanding of how the systems and architecture works. I've also got experience in user experience design, a/b testing, feature-flag development, physical hardware, systems integrations with difficult vendors, marketing attribution, eventing and telemetry ,and doing data analysis in SQL.
I enjoy programming and building my own hobby software projects.
I've got experience in HealthTech, B2B SaaS, B2C Marketplace and more. I also speak bad Spanish but listen and understand very well.
I'm looking for full time and/or fractional opportunities.
- This is a special article. The genius of the invitation to an unprepared lunch highlights the beauty of cooking and cooking together.
The description of the authors cooking with Judith is both intimate and distant. Personal and communal. And yet while silent, speaks to a deep friendship built on years of experience and taste and creativity.
My favorite aspect of the article is the lack of recipes. Meals can be whimsical and unexpected and memorable when the ingredients are there but the plan is not.
I’m sure I’ll be thinking of this article for years to come.
- Use a tripod and use a remote or set a 2 second delay on your shutter press if you start using longer exposures at low iso (anything longer than 1/10 of a second IMO)
Settings really depend on the effect you are trying to capture: - if you want to try and capture it like your eye sees it: high iso (as high as you can stand) and aim for between 1/500 and 1/30. - if you want to capture a more painterly look with the whole sky colored in: low iso (I’d start at 200) and long exposure >3 seconds. Probably between 3 and 30 seconds depending on the available light.
Those should get you started to experiment and find what you like. Enjoy!
Oh yea. Turn off the focus light, turn off the screen, and turn off the red blinking indicators. Turn all the lights off so you can preserve your night vision.
- I've been debating on responding here and well you can see my decision has been made. The caveat is that this response is also biased on my personal experience so your milage may vary.
But for anyone reading this who is adjacent to a close friend or relative or even a stranger that is experience traumatic loss the grieving process is a messy thing. No one experiences it the same way. Second-hand grief is similar.
So rather than "try to fix it" by saying anything, say nothing, and just be present. Just sit. That says more than words. And if you can't be there, notes of "You are on my mind" are good too.
There is no fixing grief, only going through it.
- This reminds me of “The Wise Mind” from DBT sessions.
To find the balance between emotion and reason for wisdom.
- Interesting concept that raised the question for me: What is the primary limiting factor right now that prevents LLM’s or any other AI model to go “end to end” on programming a full software solution or full design/engineering solution?
Is it token limitations or accuracy the further you get into the solution?
- My reaction to understand this: if the cost of manufacturing something is 7x in California compared to the rest of the USA then it’s easier to just not sell it in California.
But having not read anything besides HN comments yet this I don’t expect this to be the reality of the bill, only the reaction to the headlines.
- "Editor" must be their AI writer for sports journalism.
From the bottom of the article:
---
Regardless that shedding Kelce even for one recreation is a devastating blow for the Chiefs offense, Mahomes has proven what he can do when one among his go-to guys goes down or is not with the crew.
After the Chiefs traded celebrity huge receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins earlier than final season, the consensus was Kansas Metropolis wouldn’t be the identical on offense, however that didn’t change into the case.
The Chiefs have confirmed they’ll get by and succeed with out a few of their star gamers, they usually might have to do this in Week 1, particularly if All-Professional defensive deal with Chris Jones continues his holdout.
Will probably be a tricky stretch proper out of the gate for the defending champions as they’ll have to determine tips on how to get the most effective of a hungry Lions crew whereas shorthanded.
--- Edit: Funny enough it looks like that any words that have synonyms are being replaced without context: - Kansas Metropolis Chiefs / Kansas City Chiefs - ...celebrity tight finish Travis Kelce / Tight End - the whole soccer world tunes into as it’ll start the 2023 NFL season. // football world

- My biggest issue with Threads is that search only searches profiles.
What was Twitter’s “magic” to me was that search was for tweets.
So you could hear about a live event happening and in near-time find information about it and people who were there or knowledgeable about the event.
My first exposure to this was the Atlanta Gas Shortages in 2008 and it was when the hashtag really came into its prime as a way to quickly find relevant content.
Threads has none of that. Try searching for the “Tour De France”. This morning when I did that I only got two profiles. This kills discoverability and the ability to follow the zeitgeist.
If Threads changes search to index content then it could work. But until then it’s just bland with its attempt at using an algorithm to spoon feed you content without your ability to control what you want to see.
Shameless link to the thread where I first put these thoughts down: https://www.threads.net/t/CuW77iEuquK/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA...
- It’s a bit old but still running: Touch Arcade^ has a good mix of deep dives and “out this week” with a pretty active forum for new mobile (iOS and android) and switch games.
I still find myself at least considering the weekly features or looking at what they curate for “out this week”.

- While I don’t share the dread, I’ve come to a similar mindset. As a parent of small children I’ve come to the simplified mindset that one of humanities “super powers” is pattern recognition. Yes it’s well documented and researched but seeing a toddler piece together the world around them is quite an impressive thing to witness. (Edit for clarity)
- Been noodling on this idea and love to have an example/inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
(Edit) Specifically glad to learn about the web speech APIs. As a hobby programmer by night and Product Manager by day learning about more and more capabilities I can leverage in toy projects is awesome.
I was considering trying out whisperAI but this seems like a better stepping stone for “simpler” starter projects.
- Not sure about the company name, but there are communities that have revolve around Peloton that make access of the login.

- > Additionally, we allow paid advertisement/promotion for any of the prohibited social media platforms.
So is it only the official “verified” account that can promote their alternative or can any individual pay twitter to promote the platform as a way to circumvent this policy?
Feels not well thought out.
