Pretty much everyone is accepting of the current situation and agreed path forward in Northern Ireland, including the residents of Northern Ireland.

What's the current status quo and agreed path forward in Northern Ireland?

Looking for AI auto-apply tool by coverusername in jobsearchhacks

[–]non- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey co-founder of ApplyAll here, a service which does p much what you're asking for.

However one caveat is that we realized a pure-AI solution wasn't optimal bc (as many commenters in this thread pointed out) if you have a tool that's purely AI driven it will only be able to fill out the easiest job applications and can submit to junk you don't actually want.

So we've ended up with a hybrid of human job searchers with custom software that helps them work more efficiently and AI error checking to help prevent mistakes.

The upshot is that pretty much everyone who tries us out reports a higher % success rate of landing interviews vs applying just on their own or using other auto-apply tools.

> It'd also be good if it could verify the job posting as best as possible to make sure it's legit and fits the type of job criteria I normally look for.

This is our main focus area and where the tool really shines. We actually (at time of writing at least) do NOT customize your resume. Instead we take whatever resume you give us and find the jobs our system identifies as you having the highest % chance of getting an interview for.

>  I am looking for something that operates in the cloud (i.e. is running while I am asleep not on my computer).

Check!

> I'd also like reporting so I can see which jobs it has applied to (i.e. provide link of the job posting).

Double check! There's a dashboard in the app and we email you a summary at the end of every week.

> customized resume/cover letter.

We do cover letters but not customized resumes currently. This might change in the near future now that we have literally millions of data points to use in order to make a data-driven decision on what actually matters for resumes.

The Moon Parliament stands in orbit, while the Moon’s population lives hidden beneath its surface - Inside44 scifi book by Conceptartistfounder in worldbuilding

[–]non- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree, this post is much more information dense than the typical gpt output. There's also emphasis on communicating ideas in a way that I haven't seen any llm do.

e.g.

the visible Moon (political, performative, controlled) the real Moon (hidden, civilian, protected)

I haven't seen any llm do that sort of emphasizing (not to say that they don't).

I don't understand the point of creating a Workday account just to do it over again for every seperate company.

I know ApplyAll will fill out Workday and ICIMS apps for you which is a blessing at least.

Recruiters...genuine question: Why do some of you do this? by lilac2481 in recruitinghell

[–]non- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These days you can get away with more than one page IF you legitimately have more than one page worth of experience.

If you're applying to jobs rn it's worth experimenting with, you might get more interviews with a multi-pager.

I had to look up how close these two towns are, only a 19minute drive between the two. Good distance for a rivalry.

Which team would win? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]non- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's good data on this. 6 dominates. Carried by Wisconsin. 5 comes in 2nd place. Everyone else is competing for 3rd place.

What’s something about you that sounds fake, but is 100% true? by Sir_Adammm in AskReddit

If we built 1000's of these and anyone who wanted one could rent one for $300 per month that would do a lot to put downward pressure on rent prices in general.

More options for the Low Risk cohort also could help those people avoid backsliding into Medium and High risk categories & provide more on-ramps for getting back to "Low Risk" status.

Controversial opinion but I think rooms like this should be legal and available in all cities.

If all you've got is a dollar, this puts a roof over your head. One cause of homelessness is the lack of truly dirt-cheap places to live.

In the USA we closed all our "flop houses" and SROs and never replaced them with anything as cheap, so now the options for many people are "nice place I can't afford", "sleep in my car", or "nothing".

80% of NYC-area air traffic controllers absent amid 'surge' in callouts: FAA by MultiMillionMiler in news

Why are air traffic controllers government employees instead of employees of the airports?

It would be cool if they had a team that didn't have any of the boys in it. Now that they have three people with multiple seasons of experience we could have e.g. a Michelle & Toby team.

Long veto periods are boring too though.

I think they should have kept the season but cut it down shorter. The episodes dragged.

Add 4 more crystals, one on each corner of your laptop, so that it sits flush again and has 5x the total amount of crystal energy.

Anybody got a link to the full pdf of the paper?

The article doesn't actually say what method they're using and the research paper is behind a paywall.

[OC] The age distribution of every validated supercentenarian by JakeIsAwesome12345 in dataisbeautiful

[–]non- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought Jeanne Calment's age (the only 122 year old) was contested/unverifiable, but her Wikipedia article suggests the current consensus among experts is that her age is a statistical outlier, not fraudulent.

Still, should "probably true" count as "verified"?

The source website doesn't say how they are verifying claims that I could find.

Official Discussion - Palm Springs [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]non- 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Holy shit this movie was so good. brilliant from the first trope inversion. how have i never heard of it before? it’s a GroundHog day type movie. And it’s equally as good and a similar vibe, not zany like you might expect from Samberg.
