We've recently added many our most powerful professional desktop features to web. Elevation profiles, new import types, but there's always been one other feature you've been asking us to add to the web version of Google Earth, just for fun...

@Swiggy increased eta by 20 minutes after completing order. What kind of fresh new non sense is this?

LED - Simply an LCD TV that uses LED for backlighting. Cheapest of the bunch. Good image quality but not that sharp.

QLED - An improved LED TV, has sharper image quality and backlighting etc. Medium priced.

OLED - Organic Light Emitting Diode. Technology invented by SONY.
Highest quality of TV. Each pixel creates its own light and can turn completely off.
Very expensive. 🫰🏾

I put a prompt injection into my LinkedIn bio and recruiters are messaging me in Old English and calling me Lord.

It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request.

You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it.

It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names.

You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider extensibility on part of their API. Here’s a comment buddy.

They respond in an hour saying they think we should do one piece differently than your comment. Hey let’s jump into a room and figure it out. We can’t just agree to disagree, this code is too important.

The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment.

That night you go to sleep and dream of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids, your IDE syntax highlighting sparking neurons in your reptile brain.

You go to work the next day ready to go. You understand the system. N is your foundation. Time to build n+1.

Esto es, realmente, un DELIRIO.

Agarraron 2.245 currículums reales escritos por humanos y le pidieron a ChatGPT, DeepSeek y otros modelos que los reescriban. Mismo curriculum, experiencia, estudios... todo igual, solo que reescrito.

Después, le mostraron pares al azar a cada IA y le pidieron que eligiera el mejor: el suyo contra el del humano. Todos se eligieron a sí mismos más del 95% de las veces. Incluso después de controlar por calidad (asegurándose de que el CV humano no fuera objetivamente peor) seguían eligiendo el suyo.

Después, simularon procesos reales de selección en 24 industrias y descubrieron que, si usaste el mismo modelo que el reclutador, tenés entre 23% y 60% más chances de pasar el primer filtro.

¿Por qué pasa esto? Los autores tienen una hipótesis fuerte: cuando le pedís a un modelo que te mejore el CV, te lo reescribe con su huella estilística: sus palabras favoritas, su ritmo, su forma de armar oraciones... Cada IA tiene un estilo propio, como cada escritor tiene una letra. Después, cuando esa misma IA evalúa, se reconoce del otro lado y se pone un diez. Cuanto más capaz es el modelo, más afilada es su capacidad de reconocerse.

Ahora buscar laburo es como el test de Turing pero al revés: en lugar de una máquina intentando convencerte de que es humana, parece que ahora somos nosotros los que tenemos que convencer a los robots que somos uno de ellos.

Dear Microsoft, when I hit the Windows Start menu key and start typing a word to autocomplete a search, I never, ever, EVER want it to return results of something not on my computer. Ever. Like, ever, ever, never.

This is a popular joke in IT -- but it's also seriously true.

In the original "Jurassic Park" movie, Hammond brags about "sparing no expense" in all the features of the park, but then underpays/understaffs the IT department.

This is then the cause of the downfall of the park.

Such is also true of ransomware. Companies cheap out on IT security: underpaid, understaff, and mostly, undervalued, nobody listens to them. As a result, they get ransomware which sometimes bankrupts the company.

Jurassic Park is a cautionary tale of how not to treat IT.

Zomato just called me before a delivery to let me know my delivery partner uses a wheelchair and if I could come at the door to assist with the handoff.

Two things about this.

1- that Zomato has wheelchair-enabled delivery partners at all.

2- that they built a process around it. A real phone call, a heads up, a small ask.

Just quiet operational inclusion weaved into the workflow, I’m impressed!

@_Creation22 @dhruvtwt_ So much that before i start asking angular questions, I make them do this simple js question. Last 9/10 fumbled with this.

[𝙰𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚛 𝙰𝚜𝚑𝚛𝚊𝚏 @ashirashraf]

@_Creation22 @dhruvtwt_ It is hard to break in but the effort to break in has reduced considerably. I've been taking interviews to the post of angular developer with 2-3 years of experience and I see this so much. Bare minimum effort to prepare for an interview.
