Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • Huh, always weird when I see local news on my Lemmy feed.

    FYI, South Bay is especially car brained, even my LA. We have a major refinery, some car manufacturer HQs, and I’m pretty sure more mechanics per capita than most of Cali. Long history with the automotive industry going back to the founding of a lot of these little cities.

    It’s a shame, too. The beach cities are lovely places to walk and somehow have terrible biking and public transportation infrastructure. The people there can be a bit entitled, though (and it’s it just me or did this guy do it right outside his fucking home? Lol). But I don’t know a solution, it’s practically every other day someone is mowed down 'round here by a muscle car, and the areas East of El Segundo have a lot more waking families since we can’t afford cars.

    A little hope, though. I saw they mentioned the Sawtelle area too. I used to live there, and not only did they 180 on that case, Stoner Park is now surrounded by mini roundabouts. So change does happen after this type of thing, and their jurisdiction is LA itself, not a smaller city in a city.



  • Lol, I can’t believe you’d say Love Hina since that was the first anime I pirated for a friend on his request and it ended up being the first one I saw that wasn’t like, Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon. It wasn’t great, but the second one I pirated and therefore saw was Chobits, which was.

    I guess my childhood isn’t too different from others, although we’ve never had the money to actually buy anime until streaming was a thing. Back then, it was like 30 dollars for a few episodes on dvd l…


  • My wife’s at a major video game company that, oddly enough, hasn’t gone crazy over AI. Since she’s in localization, she uses DeepL which has some machine learning, but not really an LLM and LLMs aren’t really being pushed on her since it’s a downgrade. From what I can tell, their dev team is also just keeping things human made, although they’re in Japan so that might contribute.

    They aren’t saints, they did try to union bust a few years back, but their stance on AI, as well as creativity first mentality and recent pay raise guarantees and whatnot, kinda show they’re paying attention.









  • That’s been the case, they filter resumes hard with fairly arbitrary means via software; it’s why career coaches suggested gaming the system by inserting enough buzz words into your resume to get it read.

    I’m actually a little curious if it’s even better with AI given it’s at least pretending to read it rather than use basic NLP (natural language processing) methods to scan for the number of times you mention something in the text.

    Not better as in more accurate, mind you, but when you game the system previously, you had to make resumes worse for human eyes and better for the algorithm, kinda like how recipe blogs read like a novel before reaching the recipe. Being able to write a resume for human eyes again would be a net gain, in that sense.

    Basically, I hate AI but the HR tools used for at least a decade are worse. Frankly HR people themselves are the worst though, so… idk. Honestly the whole process should be burned to the ground, lol.
