Open Source@lemmy.ml•Tariffs Spark Shift to Open SourceEnglish
8·8 months agoThe other problem is unlike stack overflow, a helpful answer by an AI isn’t visible and indexed therefore someone else has to do another prompt for the potential answer.

222·8 months agoFree trade isn’t exploitation.
In fact tariffs are just costing you more.
There is zero chance the USA will have anything to replace the amount you import in the term trump serves let alone a decade from now.
The USA will never compete with child slave labour in China and Mexico etc either.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Solution that tailors existing CVs to a given job post?English
2·11 months agoSounds really tough in the USA. We have plenty of Software Devs here too but we also get a lot of skilled migrants, it is basically the only way to get permanent residency without handing over a lot of money.
3+ interviews sounds like a great way to waste money and time doing interviews. When I am hiring I would never do more than 1, if I am not happy to hire or 100% sure, I don’t do a second I just move on to the next applicant.

1·11 months agoI’m in software too. Maybe it is tougher competition outside Australia but I would imagine if you are firing off that many resumes in Software Engineering, you are probably doing yourself a disservice sending out so many variations. What if you get tagged for AI applicant and put into a spam list? What if a company gets 2 copies of resumes that are vastly different.
Also… How many cashier jobs would genuinely need any sort of tailoring though.

Science Fiction@lemmy.world•What's science fiction without the machines?English
4·1 year agoAlan Dean Foster has a series (Humanx Commonwealth) starting with Midworld. No special machines in the first 4.
Cachelot is excellent and is about sentient space cetaceans after forming a treaty with humans.
Midworld is basically Avatar.
Nor Crystal Tears is about the Thranx side of meeting Aliens (humankind) in first contact.
Sentenced to Prism is about the concepts of non-carbon life forms.
Must books cover elements of humanity and what is humanity.
