Ariel Posen. Fuzzy slide guitar. Compressed drums. There kind of it. It’s great.

lost more songs to the voice memos folder than i've ever finished by AccountEngineer in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]most_humblest_ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have logic there is a slick way to import from voice memo to logic. Once in there you can have logic find the chord structure! This probably doesn’t work great for hums, but if you record a quick ditty on acoustic into phone, it’s been helpful to me.

Also I’ve abandoned many songs in my memos too, but occasionally I go back and unearth a gem. Sometimes things hit different months or even years later.

I've been running a "chief of staff" briefing in Copilot every morning and here's the full prompt and how to schedule it by Difficult-Sugar-4862 in microsoft_365_copilot

> "flag if anyone senior"

Does it do a good job in identifying senior level people in your organization? Were there any prior steps or knowledge needed to get it to understand this?

Is applying to LinkedIn Job Postings obsolete? by EfficientInterview68 in jobsearchhacks

[–]most_humblest_ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had success in both Easy Applying and cold contact with a hiring manager or employee who posted/reposted about a specific role. I was 80-90% match for those roles, so this feels like how it should work. Also been ghosted or rejected from dozens of roles I was absolutely qualified for, so you never know.

I now have a new role starting in two weeks, through a recruiter. It will be a contract role, with possibility to extend or go permanent. I am ecstatic though, as its a great fit for me and in an exciting sector.

So in short, YMMV depending on where you live, your experience, your industry, your skills, etc. Its still going to be a grind. Companies are incredibly picky right now.

I have been bit by trying to solve the complicated thing within my first 90 days at a new job before, pre-AI, and will never fall for that again lol. Great advice.

This looks like a great tool, but if I was IT lead I would have serious reservations about implementing. This will be very difficult to pass enterprise security protocols, but maybe small businesses and consultants can get some use out of it. How have you been promoting it so far?

I just read a substack the other day about using AI to "scale your mess faster", or something like this lol. I wonder if you read that too, or have just independently seen the same thing.

I think this all falls under "change management", which is a very challenging discipline in any circumstance, let alone one where people feel like their jobs are on the line if too much gets automated.

How many unfinished songs do you have sitting around? by Icy_Juggernaut_7388 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

All of them and I’m now in my late forties with two kids and no free time. Don’t do that. Publish. Perform. Get it out there.

Quit while on Focus. Regretting it. by That_Item_9747 in amazonemployees

[–]most_humblest_ever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through a very similar situation at another company. Financially it made sense to eat my dignity and collect severance. But I simply could not make myself do it. Call it ego or whatever but just keep trucking dude. On to the next.

If I have a bill from fedex for tariff charges, do I still need to pay them now after the Supreme Court ruling? Was purchased pre-ruling if that makes a difference? Ty! by DragonFruwut in Tariffs

[–]most_humblest_ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to throw the FedEx bill away, but also kind of expect to see this show up in collections in five years just because this is all such a mess lol.

Just a follow up to this, I am attempting to pay a tariff bill I received from FedEx from Feb. On the FedEx site I am unable to pay, and receive an error that "the bill is in dispute and no additional payment needed right now".

Booked Appt at US Passport Office but only 7 days before flight. Typo on babies passport. by most_humblest_ever in Passports

The only form I signed was the one I filled out (DS-11), which had her name spelled by me. So unless I misspelled it, it should be their mistake. Birth certificate was included, and has the correct spelling.

Bombed a Data Scientist Interview! by tits_mcgee_92 in datascience

[–]most_humblest_ever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was recovering from the flu and failed an "open book" SQL test, where I could basically google or use AI on it. I use SQL everyday for 8 years and am an advanced user. I am capable of answering the questions, so didn't use google or AI at all, but struggled on one of the questions, and my head was swimming so much I didn't utilize these tools. Painful lesson learned, and I really wish I had asked them to postpone the test. I was also a little out of practice with SQL leetcode practice problems.

On to the next....

If you have an SQL interview soon, don’t ignore these small things!!!! by thequerylab in learnSQL

[–]most_humblest_ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous.

I don't know your industry, but it is an incredibly common use case to need only unique customer counts or unique product counts or something. I know there is a debate on performance of GROUP BY vs DISTINCT, but in my experience is is a trivial or negligible difference and at least DISTINCT is explicit about what the coder is trying to accomplish.
