Let's be real, when an entity like Slack says "delete all your data," they actually mean they will add a flag in the database to make it inaccessible to those who aren't purchasing bulk data for data mining and llm training. The data will persist regardless.

Will you use ChatGPT to implement the feature?

I thought they were already up to 4.5.

Which companies are doing this? Why aren't they just downloading the Wikipedia databases as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download ?

New comment by scinadier in "Is there a maximum length for resumes in this new era of ATSs?"

Good to know. I've never seen what the ATS portal looks like on the other side. I'm sure all parties involved dislike the UI!

Ask HN: Is there a maximum length for resumes in this new era of ATSs?

scinadier — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 18:04:25 +0000

Does anyone have any insight in terms of whether an ATS will penalize an applicant for submitting a resume that is more than one to two pages in length?

This standard of adhering to a max length for resumes exists for the sake of a human glancing through a stack. Arguably, this standard is in the process of becoming less relevant. It seems that there will be a point where only a small handful of resumes reaches HR. It makes sense to me that ensuring your resume be a part of this filtered stack is more important than adhering to the whims of the hiring manager not patient enough to look through an individuals' entire work and project history.

What do you all think? I feel that this is a question that should be occasionally assessed. If you disagree with this assertion, do you feel that this shift of appropriate resume length will ever occur?

Sounds like airlines need to start using ChatGPT to autopilot their airplanes.

scinadier — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 18:25:09 +0000

To be the devil's advocate, what if the modern corpora that DeepSeek is trained on encourages this response? There has been a couple of years where AI responses to prompts have proliferated through the internet at large.

New comment by scinadier in "Why blog if nobody reads it?"

scinadier — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 19:09:37 +0000

I've been treating public Git repository commits in the same vein - a receipt of incremental changes that show that an individual can do some programming. Granted this is not fool-proof - like all things that are complex, it needs to be evaluated with a suite of other factors and conditions to be determined valid. A website written in a personal voice is one of these factors.

I keep a personal website and blog and take pleasure knowing that my non-internet friends and family check in on it.

Perhaps the marker indicating where you are is supposed to work it's way up the list? I don't think what you've said here - in this thread - has been unreasonable.

A bit of a disappointing read. The author never elaborates on the details of the particular day in which they taught AI to read code like a Senior Developer.

What did they have for lunch? We'll never know.

It's a bit obtuse to recommend weather.gov when https://merrysky.net/ exists.
