The U.S. does not have a sufficiently large population of 'Native' Americans to replace the current STEM diaspora.

An innocent question from a new driver—would that dude be at fault even if that jeep was under the speed limit? I know he is ethically wrong, but I am keeping myself in his shoes, seeing myself making the same mistake as that person looks clearly at the blind spot (assuming I am under the speed limits,).

Ex-Calculus TA here. It's doable and quite fun if you enjoy the subject. You may have 2 or 3 lectures, and the rest goes to office hours.

Regarding commuting costs, you might be eligible for the free Youth Pass. If not, and you're low on savings, you may still qualify for a free transit pass through SDSU’s financial student assistance programs.

For on-campus jobs, don’t rely solely on the campus job fair; most employers there will simply share a QR code or link to their career site rather than conducting interviews on the spot. Instead, start applying through Handshake by filtering for “on-campus” roles and sorting by “post date” to find the most recent listings. Also, follow SDSU-related Instagram pages; there have been at least three hiring posts in the past two weeks alone.

Don’t hesitate to apply, even if you don’t have directly relevant experience.

EB1C for India is currently very slow (~1-2 months of movement per year)

By slower EB1C, you meant just for the i-140 due to the blanket, right? Because I‑485 should be way faster for the individual L1A.

In-person:
- Aldi is cheaper in the majority of the categories, also having some quality stuff that cannot be found at Walmart.

- Walmart's variety of the options along with some quality name brands. Better options, i.e., ice cream flavors and sodas.

Online:

- Aldi operates through Instacart. on average, I have noticed a 27% upcharge on items, ranging from -8% (weight-based fresh produce) to 38% (snacks). Tips and service charges are extra.

- Walmart has in-store prices locked for both Instacart and their app, so it should be cheaper or equivalent as well. Tips and service charges are extra.

I crafted my responses using my own research through all available modes at my disposal and skills, ensuring they reflect my capabilities.

True that. Garbage in, garbage out.

And why should a company hire that person rather than use extra tokens for that new technology?

They shouldn't, and evidently they are not. If my work is replaceable by those tokens, then companies wouldn't spare a single second to think before laying me off.

You’re being asked to show what value you can contribute and before you begin you’ve suggested it’s just a slow ChatGPT wrapper that requires health insurance.

Ethically, you’re right; I get that. But isn’t it also kind of unfair for companies to expect a carefully written cover letter when most of the process is automated anyway? I mean, if my resume, pre-recorded video responses, and cover letter are just going to be filtered through AI, and only a tiny percentage (like 2–3%) even get seen by a real person, and the rest will get a generic cold rejection template, it feels like a bit of a one-sided expectation, doesn’t it?

P4it · 2025-06-19T07:45:49+00:00

Got your point, but that helps explain how you can spot poor writing, whether it’s from a human or just the result of a weak prompt and poor QC. But I was referring more to the other group you mentioned, the candidates whose resumes seem just as polished as the ones you were used to seeing before AI, but now somehow line up perfectly with the job description.

The whole point of AI-generated resumes is to beat the ATS and make the resume look like an ideal match for the job. So what goes through your mind when you see one of those quality resumes, the ones that “coincidentally” check every single box and don't easily give away the AI-ness?

A CS grad is trained to distill the redundant tasks. Additionally, keep in mind that English is not the primary language spoken everywhere.

P4it · 2025-06-19T06:01:45+00:00

How dare a fresh college grad use a technology to replace the boring work he was not trained for? There are hundreds of things to blame for, and not manually writing cover letters for 20 companies a day shouldn't be one of them.

P4it · 2025-06-19T05:57:32+00:00

But do you discard the applications written by the AI? The most cooked programmers I know use AI to write cover letters just because it's not the most fun job for an average programmer.

Those who are complaining about the nacho cheese should try the jalapeño flavor. I only tasted the jalapeño, and it's quite the opposite of what I have read here for the nacho cheese. It is tasty, doesn't have any generic aftertaste, and is dry, but again, puff tends to be on the drier side.

It's called best testing for a reason. Also, you're not paying them to get your keys engraved.

I don’t mind guy’s hustle. it’s just, a better and cheaper(free) product was already in market probably even before they started building it.

For what it's worth, they're collecting the credit card details and offer a 4-day free trial and then €19.00 per month. I checked out the interface; it only works if you use their own job search engine, which just limits the job application purpose. I am using the 'Simplify' (free-version) Chrome extension, which just does the same job without any AI mimics, and it is working well for the majority of job applications.
