The turning radius is 4.62 meters.

" This triple-motor layout allows the rear wheels to achieve a maximum steering angle of ±20°, minimising the overall vehicle turning radius to 4.62 meters."


AI has made experience less valuable.

Seeing a lot of age "bias" * in recent job cuts and comments by CFOs.

* Which may be rational, if unfair, if experience counts for less with the advent of the LLM coder.


He was one of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police.

Let us pay tribute to the courage of our Tibetan friends.

"The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) is a central armed police force in India, under the Ministry of Home Affairs. It is responsible for guarding India's border with Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It was formed in the aftermath of the Sino-Indian War of 1962"


The American and Australian dialects preserve a number of interesting archaisms.


Our HR department has given up.

They are being inundated with thousands of AI slop applications each week.

Hiring has devolved to word of mouth recommendations.


As someone who's looking for a job, this is what I fear. How does one distinguish themselves from the thousands of other people who say "Claude, write a cover letter for this company, make no mistakes", and their cover letter has the same tone as every other cover letter?


> Hiring has devolved to word of mouth recommendations.

that may be an evolution, not a devolution


Perhaps the old recommendation of "Deliver a resume in person, shake their hand" that many of us younguns have rolled our eyes at will actually come back?? How else to prove your humanity to the hiring manager?


this!!

Networking turned from a suggestion into being the only way of getting hired. I don't need a job, but I've gotten several emails from recommendations and I didn't have any 3 years ago or so, maybe an odd one here and there.

I think getting scouted is also one of the better ways of getting hired by having an active github profile with at least one popular open-source project even if it is AI slop.


C’mon! So, when HR manages to get real candidates, why do we have to go through 8 stage of interviews that take months? It’s humiliating.


You are a compliance candidate, to show that they follow the mandated process.

The real candidate has already been recommended by someone trusted on the team and is going through a much shortened version of the same process.

Word of mouth isn’t even a way in anymore because HR demands you be plugged into the dysfunctional rube goldberg hiring machine.


I really wanna say out loud what im building but I cant lol.

The issues in this thread will be addressed with what I am building and you will all thank me one day.


Thank you!


A typical case of false nostalgia for something that never existed .


Pakistani politicians should move to Washington, a wonderful land where graft has no legal consequences...

"Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, were long accused of stealing more than $1.5 billion from Pakistan through various state contracts, kickbacks, and offshore bank accounts"


Only if you have no problem with their extremely harmful political lobbying.


More AI written slop...

Just skip it.

Not worth reading.


Flag it


Why didn't I think of this sooner? You are completely right, there needs to be a a way to punish slop. If anything, it should lower the rating for website in the future as well.

As someone living in a non-US country, I get the impression that Russians and Chinese seem to be safer from their respective governments, than residents of the US.

I hope that your country recovers from it's experiment with dictatorship.


> I get the impression that Russians and Chinese seem to be safer from their respective governments, than residents of the US.

What an utterly misguided conclusion to make from the recent news. While the current US administration is just dipping their toes in the pool of authoritarianism, the aforementioned countries have been on board that train for quite a long time. In Russia teenage girls get prison sentences for reposting anti-war Facebook memes, and LGBTQ+ people get hunted down on the streets. China runs actual concentration camps for their ethnic minorities and has the most locked down Internet in the world. And yet somehow you think a ruling from one activist judge in Texas makes US citizens as a whole less safe than that?
