I’m a software developer and many job postings for my skill sets are getting 500+ applicants, so my strategy was to try to network on the platform. The whole experience was demoralizing, sure other job boards might have the same number of applicants, but I really feel like the easy apply button just creates more competition. My inbox is always open for recruiters though, that is the only positive for me.
LinkedIn is an aggregation of everything wrong with social media. I got laid off and tried to use it to find a job, never again.
I think the replies to this post really captures Lemmy’s energy and I love it.
Sorry that you’re getting down voted for facts
Thank you for dropping some savory knowledge!
This isn’t a good alternative either. From reading the article it looks like this service is meant to screen less serious issues, and if those less serious issues need an in person doctor visit, you’ll need insurance.
The deeper problem is that if our personal data is gold, our medical data is diamonds. It may not be tomorrow, or a decade from now, but I guarantee any sort of contact non-medical corporations make with our medical data will result in a darker dystopia.
Targeted ads will be more invasive. Insurance premiums can be increased for “unhealthy” purchases. Medical coverage can be denied based on economic decisions. The list can go on. We would pretty much get a more perverse profit driven medical system if companies like Amazon start wiggling their way into medicine. Also regulations won’t keep us safe, you can thank lobbying for that.
Oh I know, I was just living in a better world for a second.
I think one huge issue is that edge is fine, it is a browser that works. There is nothing competitively interesting about it to make people consider switching, plus there is the infamy of IE and Micro$oft’s reputation to contend with.
They should just develop a lightweight browser installer and bow out of the browser wars.
I don’t like brave because Brandon Eich (CEO, formerly with Mozilla) doesn’t support gay marriage and was pushing anti-vax stuff on twitter. I don’t look for this shit to titillate my tits like some folks, but when it hits me in the face I can’t ignore it.
When fact checking myself I found even more controversies, but I’m not wasting time reading articles that feed a confirmation bias.
Guess I’m wrong here, some AI went closed source recently?
I’m not to worried about AI. Isn’t the next iteration of GPT closed source? Technology is made best as a research or passion project, but once profits become the focus everything goes down hill. That and when you consider the global supply chain required to manufacture the chips that AI depends on, well things aren’t looking too great in that department.
Tl;DR humans will shit all over the prospect of scary intelligent AI well before we get there.
From the article:
The researchers gathered training data by pressing 36 keys on a modern MacBook Pro 25 times each and recording the sound produced by each press.
In their experiments, the researchers used the same laptop, whose keyboard has been used in all Apple laptops for the past two years, an iPhone 13 mini placed 17cm away from the target, and Zoom.
Now they should do this under real usage and see if they get anywhere close to 95% accuracy. Phones are usually in pockets, people listen to music, not everyone has a MacBook.
I think it will be difficult for the average person to use this attack effectively, but I think this will become some sort of government spy thing for sure.
Follow up question, could the same metrics be captured without a network connection? An alternative might not be as user friendly as an IoT device, but for the last what decade? It seems like investment in IoT is investment in security vulnerabilities.
