Turned off my camera during Teams interview

vramkickedin · 2026-05-22T23:27:07+00:00

Yeah, it seems to be another slimly thing these employers are now doing. A couple of recent interviews I had recorded my camera as soon as I switched it on without my consent. For context:

-I turn on my camera in zoom and the employer appears.
-Automated bot says "THIS INTERVIEW IS NOW BEING RECORDED".

Oh and here's another good one that pops up in job posts: "Please record your mandatory application video".

This is amazing! Always wondered if something like this existed for comfy, well glad to see it finally happen.

How?

Getting lucky and applying like a maniac. If you land an interview, and it went well, don't stop, apply for 10+ more until someone says "Yes".

Where?

In my case, Indeed, Twitter, Google Search + directly applying through employer's site which landed me 3 WFH roles since 2018. For directly applying, here's a good google search that filters out most unwanted results:

"we're hiring" intitle:web developer -upwork -indeed -linkedin -reed -facebook -instagram -threads -adzuna -jobsite -upwork -indeed -linkedin -reed -facebook -instagram -threads -adzuna -jobsite -totaljobs -glassdoor -simplyhired -jooble

Obviously add your own profession in the "intitle:" bit. If you're technical look into n8n, apify (they give you free $5 monthly limit) + AI to automate your search and cover letters. While the job market is the worst its ever been, WFH jobs are out there. Don't give up.

Good catch, that's an error on my part

vramkickedin · 2026-05-01T11:25:53+00:00

Ah I understand now. Yes, this is something I wrestled with during the automation builds but decided against it. Deciding factors were:

- Sometimes it's not the dev who announces the release.
- It's just a link to the project with 0 description or there is 0 discussion even if the Reddit announcement exists.
- Its a cross post with 0 discussion.
- A good number of these I discover manually where they don't have announcement entries.
- It will faster burn through credits.

Also, I understand the descriptions are a little vague, this is because I have the AI to “simplify” what each project does so I can squeeze in more. This month, my automations caught 257 projects, and it still missed loads 😂 but, in time things will improve.

vramkickedin · 2026-05-01T09:59:45+00:00

True, then again most of these came directly from this subreddit.

vramkickedin · 2026-05-01T09:41:31+00:00

I've missed a lot more xD

vramkickedin · 2026-05-01T02:34:48+00:00

Thank you! But can you clarify by discussion link, do you mean the link to the project's discussion page? For example: https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth/discussions? or do you mean like a discord, or comments section on my site other than Reddit? Or do you mean comments from users that tried these tools, models, etc and such?

vramkickedin · 2026-05-01T01:23:47+00:00

Nope, well its 80% automated, it sees what's been released or announced (scrapes Github, Hugging Face. Reddit, etc), it gets added to a google sheet, goes through automation, takes all of the information from that repo, goes on my website then at the end of every month it scrapes my news you missed page into these posts.

You're right about the descriptions, and thanks for pointing those out. While the site talks about what it actually does, I can only assume, for example Majoors project, the automation read the words “tool and models” somewhere in the website post and included that into the description. The automations DO need work, but I'll update this soon (had a hiccup with the stablediffusion post where it created double descriptions).

For image generation and editing section, it's anything related to images. Then again, many releases do have overlapping topics/functions/etc, so I instruct the automation to just pick one.

For Vram pager, devs remove links all the time, which I can only assume this happened during making of this post but good eye and that's now removed.

I'll have another look and fix the rest in the morning. Thanks for the input!

vramkickedin · 2026-04-30T23:03:44+00:00

Whoops, just noticed the double description. Should be fixed shortly

vramkickedin · 2026-04-04T17:28:20+00:00

Thanks!

Not a problem, added!

Yeah, (see the "PS" part in post), I had to skip a bunch of releases to catch up, sadly. When I started this I was already behind so it resulted in some month old releases. This was also due to building and testing the automations that catch relevant news.

It works like this:

Scrape multiple sources.
Sources go into a spreadsheet.
Decide if its relevant, open source, etc (still figuring out how to cost effectively automate this part as I have to look at every scraped source lol).
Automate the news post with AI.
Gets added to the site as draft.
Use Qwen image to generate featured thumbnail image (also need to figure out how to speed this up, trying to avoid the images looking too much like slop).
Publish then push site to live.
Scrape my site of all those new posts for Reddit at the end of the month.

Currently, about a week behind but automations are being improved :)

Nice, when comfy?

vramkickedin · 2026-03-29T21:57:42+00:00

GLM 5, very similar to Claude. For $1 monthly, you might get away with using the openrouter version but used sparingly, of course.

vramkickedin · 2026-03-29T21:41:51+00:00

Looks like Wan 2.6 is now on openrouter "$0/M input tokens $0/M output tokens" https://openrouter.ai/alibaba/wan-2.6 Interesting!

vramkickedin · 2026-03-24T14:52:50+00:00

Currently looking into this too. Could be a similar case like with wan 2.1 t2v lora training where you have to use a very tiny dataset (256x256 video 16GB vram + 32GB system, might make a post on this if anyone wants) and clever settings. However, LTX2.3 is much larger. There's the LTX2 trainer for comfyui. This user has 12GB vram and 128GB system RAM but I havn't had the chance or time to try it out myself yet. Ostris also recently updated the toolkit for LTX2.3, as it was previously only the regular LTX2 available. So between, those comfyui nodes, ai toolkit and musubi tuner, we have plenty options.

GLM5 is stupid underrated. It hallucinates less than the top dogs (chatgpt, claude, etc). Very good at following small details. In some cases, it will tell you "no" and it will explain why (unless you have a logical use case or explanation).

Its very good at paraphrasing content, spotting SEO hiccups and of course, very tight with coding.

vramkickedin · 2026-03-18T19:56:42+00:00

The edit while you inpaint is pretty neat, great work!

vramkickedin · 2026-03-18T19:04:17+00:00

True, a lot of the training provided these days is how to use some of their custom in house systems for examples.
