Or possibly just written at an AI level of self-awareness. The irony of an AI written article injecting AI alarmism so hamfistedly would be quite something... but not impossible I guess.
If it is AI, this is the easiest type of AI content to generate: a summary of a small, delimited text corpus, with some generic filler added.
If it isn't AI, it's still nevertheless low-effort and (IMHO) doesn't belong on HN. The primary journalistic source (Fortune) should replace it.
Look at this before/after comparison, how lazily they (or it) paraphrased the source material:
> [Primary] "Between 2017 and 2022, the share of job postings at Google requiring a degree dropped from 93% to 77%, according to analysis from the Burning Glass Institute."
> [Derivative] "Data from the Burning Glass Institute shows that in 2017, degree requirements were part of 93% of job postings at Google. By 2022, that figure had dropped to 77%."
Or this:
> [Primary] "And Google isn’t alone: companies including Microsoft, Apple, and Cisco have reduced degree requirements in recent years, signaling a broader industry shift toward skills-based hiring."
> [Derivative] "Other large tech companies have also begun judging candidates by their abilities instead of their diplomas. Microsoft, Apple, and Cisco are among those dropping degree mandates."
So many classics, and of course it birthed the "How is babby formed" meme. Guess it got too hard to justify the use of resources when the rest of the platform was basically in flames though.
Why is the independence of the Federal Reserve sacrosanct? For one, they should have oversight and they should have accountability.
Not ever passing an audit of any kind. And the FED chairman spending $2.5B on renovations to an office complex. While misleading congress about the kinds of renovations.
There should be less 'independence', if it means zero accountability.
I can't believe you are making an office complex renovation argument.
FED has been instrumental is keeping the monetary policy sane in the recent years, unlike some pushes from the orange person you are taking talking points from.
Congress provides oversight and accountability of the Fed. The GAO does audits as well. Frank-Dodd provides more windows into the Fed. Why did you think the Fed doesn't have oversight?
> Why is the independence of the Federal Reserve sacrosanct?
It's never been completely independent. It's independent from short-term (4 years) political influence. It's audited and has congressional oversight and the President nominates people to the board.
What else do you want? Interest rates set by Presidential tweets?
I'll add that any home workout equipment is one of the best investments an individual can make. A set of adjustable dumbbells and a bench has transformed by body and made me develop a love for strength training. All without the hardest part of the gym (for me at least) - going.
Here's a little snippet I was sent back when I ran a valleywide gossip group chat:
"dang had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. So he took me to his private channel and told me his secret: 'I am not dang' he typed into the IRC window. 'My name is... Microsoft Bob. I inherited this site from the previous dang, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from was not the real dang, either. His name was Bill. The real Roberts has been retired fifteen years and living like a king in Santa Cruz.' Then he explained the name was the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear. You see, no one would fund a Series to the Dread Pirate Microsoft Bob. So we got off the Caltrain and into the Uber XL, we took on an entirely new entourage and he stayed on for awhile as chief mod, all the time calling me dang. Once the mods believed, he left the Uber and I have been dang ever since. Except, now that we're together, I shall retire and hand the name over to someone else. Is everything clear to you?"
It is a very tough job market. I have been looking for 11 months myself with zero interviews. And 500+ applications to jobs I am qualified for.
The summary of your resume is very dense. Opening it felt like a wall of text, I wanted to immediately close.
Have chatgpt rewrite it.
Because of ATS resume systems, your resume may be getting screened out. After chatgpt has rewritten it.
Throw it into an ATS resume checker like https://www.jobscan.co to see how it is performing for ATS filters.
I particularly like https://simplify.jobs that can tailor your resume and autofill for applications. Will save a lot of time if you do not have this already.
Best of luck. It is extremely tough and unusual. Apply for jobs in your immediate city or a place you could relocate to, as a priority... as the remote ones are extremely competitive.
FWIW: I just used Job scan and put the job description of the closest I could find to my current job at my current company - it’s actually a level below my current position - and my resume and it showed only a 63% match. I was just hired a year ago based on an internal recruiter reaching out to me.
Avoid thinking of the pain of the task at hand. Imagine and focus on the reward of these tasks.
Lifting weights... imagine the stronger person you will become.
Studying for that exam.. picture the career you aspire to.
Avoiding that donut... imagine the healthier you.
Habit stacking helps to remind one of the task to do. To avoid the struggle of doing them, picture the desired outcome.
IME if you have ADHD those two things are basically the same. Sure, don't think of the pain, but you could ended up stuck in daydreaming about the perfect future where you're healthier, stronger, happier, etc. You can trigger executive dysfunction (mental freeze) either way.
> Sure, don't think of the pain, but you could ended up stuck in daydreaming about the perfect future where you're healthier, stronger, happier, etc. You can trigger executive dysfunction (mental freeze) either way.
This seems extremely relatable.
Except instead of "I'm healthier, stronger, happier etc." it's more like "I've accomplished all the things I've thought of accomplishing" (each of which seems well within my grasp, if I could choose).
I've actually read quite the opposite a few times.
If you focus on the end-goal you can easily get frustrated once you don't see any results, specially on such long-term goals such as graduating, improving your career or becoming buff by doing exercise.
Supposedly it's actually better to just try and find meaning and joy in the process itself, enjoy lifting/studying regardless of the end results.
Obviously none of this is an exact science so each person might think different.
