Me I like fast small cars which it's crazy a few times I've almost been hit by people who are higher than me/merging into my lane.

That's funny it's actually named Schiit I thought that was a joke

The discrete array, must be accurate for them to be close like that and not get overlap (eg. receiver 1 gets beam from emitter 2)

Would be curious licensing on music you produce with it eg. can you use it, record the session then put it on YT no copyright.

/r/cscareerquestions the horror eg. applied to 2000 jobs got 1 offer

Honestly, with the AI slop of resumes, I applied to dozens of jobs, and only got a callback to ones I had either a recruiter for or direct connections to, after 20 years of experience. Because I didn't have a big fat "worked at google for 10 years" on my resume. And I'd like to think of myself as someone who can take a very bad situation and make it look smooth.

Even with 10 years of google on my resume I got absolutely zero non-automated responses for all the jobs I applied to after being laid off a few months back (I'm working again). Connections from my network and recruiter reach-outs were the only real leads.

But looking back on my 30 years of working (including in high school), every job I've ever had I got through personal referrals or recruiter reach-outs. I've gotten to interviews before but never actually taken a job without a personal connection.

Other than Indeed/Hired all my other roles were from recruiters, I don't have a degree so it's harder for me to get a job application wise, at least now I have the 6 yrs+ experience which isn't a lot but better than 0

Will say what's gotten me hired are my projects eg. robotics or getting published online for hardware stuff, I work in the web-cloud space primarily though, hardware would be cool but hard to make that jump

dog's ready for WW1 trenches

also have to work on my own CAD skills for complex contours like that, been in parameteric/SketchUp land

> Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat.

That's good

Something about the older beige laptops that is fascinating, I had gotten some Libretto C50s but sadly they are outdated, also keyboard is too small

You don't need this, just say you're John from Microsoft as Jim Browning has shown

Seriously.

To pretend that you need the advanced capabilities of an AI in order to trick older people by email is somewhere between ludicrous and clickbait.

My father in law just bought a car online this weekend on accident. And nobody was even trying to trick him.

There's a reason the Nigerian prince type stories are so low effort: you really don't need much more sophistication than that.

You agree that AI is used for amplification by attackers? they interviewed people who had worked at scam factories who clarified that they used LLMs in their work.

I do, of course. My point is that it is neither a tool unique to this scam nor an application of the tool that is particularly surprising.

In other words, if I can be a little histrionic, it seems to me like saying "using ELECTRICITY to scam old people".

> To pretend that you need the advanced capabilities of an AI in order to trick older people by email is somewhere between ludicrous and clickbait.

The trick is being able to do it, on a convincingly personalized level, to a million old people at the same time.

How do you buy a car by accident? Like, put in a credit card and fully paid for one on Carvana or something?

Very good guess: it was actually exactly that. Carvana shopping for a used car.

He clicked on something and got charged the downpayment of the car to his CC. He got his money back, but I'll never not be surprised by what some older people can manage to do online left to their own devices.

To you and I, it seems impossible. For Larry, it's just Saturday.

It does not seem impossible to anyone who has watched someone use a computer for a few minutes... A bright green button from google pay saying "click here to secure your interest in this car" is easily mistaken to mean "save to my interested list" rather than "place a deposit on this".

We know how hard it is to even find the download button on a website: https://www.howtogeek.com/how-to-spot-the-real-download-butt...

You're right

We like to pretend that we are immune to that, but we've all made similar mistakes.

And there's an entire Internet of websites trying to trick us.

It's sad, but you need to browse almost any site assuming the company is an adversary. I register my domains through two decent registrars but I recently needed to help a client through using GoDaddy and NetSol. The up-sells and cajoling were relentless, vile and eye-opening.

To be fair, Amazon one click purchases got me once. The principle that no one button should cause a "dangerous" action (i.e. one where you can't escape or undo it easily, and especially with money and data) is sometimes violated when the action is only "dangerous" to the user and beneficial to the provider.

Usually the result of clicking such a "dangerous" button is the user gives the provider money or data. It's not common that the provider makes it easy to one-click-no-confirm a process that gives the user money or the provider's data.
