  • Is your resume clearly AI generated? (Yes means I pass) If I can’t tell it’s AI, I don’t care.

    What are your criteria to judge whether a resume was “clearly AI generated”?

    Have you been at prior jobs for more than a year. One job less than a year is fine, more is a trend

    How is that relevant? Especially if you do not know the reasons. Maybe someone had a bad luck streak and was very unhappy at the prior employers. Someone does not necessarily know things like these beforehand. That’s what probation periods are there for. Speaking of: there are multiple companies who hire people just for a short amount of time and fire them before the end of the probation. Basically exploiting the system. Then there are projects with a limited duration of time, maybe less than a year, for which one got hired for. I can think of more possibilities.

    You will never be able to infer the real reasons just by looking at a piece of paper with a list of previous work experiences. You would need to talk to those people. Otherwise this selection criterion seems arbitrary.








  • Having had numerous discussions on different protests and pondering about what the most effective form of protest is, I find this article a nice addition in the endeavour of answering exactly that. So thanks for sharing. It’s interesting to see, that peaceful protests have been more effective in the considered cases. However, I am under the impression that a final judgement is still not possible. According to what I have gathered so far even more violent protests may be shown to be effective. A classic, prominent example are suffragettes and their bombings, arsony, destruction of property etc… How effective protect can become and the level of acceptance within the population seems to depend highly on further cultural and/or societal contexts as well. For instance, one could argue that suffragettes had more leverage due to the immense efforts and losses during WWI, which inevitably made the societal backbone more dependent on women. It’s important to note, however, that suffragettes were a long running movement that has started to shape public discussion far earlier than WWI and it would not be accurate to reduce their achievements to their more violent protests alone. More precisely, it is debatable whether violence even was a positively contributing factor at all. At the very least, it can be argued that suffragettes were successfull despite these violent acts.

    Another important factor seems to be how directly actionable the goals of the respective movements are. Combining with that, also how much of behavioural change is asked of the people in general. For example, protesting against violent police actions shifts the focus away from the general public and shapes the state as the responsible actor while climate protests may demand significant changes of each individual (in addition to policy changes). Furthermore, in this example, protesting for a change in the education and regulation of policeforces appears to have less requirements while counteracting climate change is much more demanding as it comes with significantly more challenges.







  • “Kill switch” is a bit dramatic. It’s an on or off toggle. Would be funny though to call every toggle a kill switch. “Yeah, using the kill switch on GPU acceleration may help with rendering on some systems.”

    “Use the kill switch for preventing Firefox of starting a new session without restoring the old tabs.”

    “Kill all of your browser data upon exiting Firefox by enabling the kill switch.”

    “Make Firefox your default browser by enabling the ‘set as default browser kill switch’.”

    Extended to other UI interaction classes: “You don’t like English? Kill it by using the battle royale language selector to choose only the one language you like.”
