I'm building InterviewMe ( https://interviewme.now/ ). It lets employers interview you via AI and is intended as a better way for people to get deep answers about your work history and experience than they could by looking at a simple online resume or LinkedIn. You upload your resume, answer some questions about your background, optionally upload any other documents you have (cover letters, awards, articles, etc) and it ingests all of that and creates a conversational agent people can use to ask questions about your professional experience. Check out my profile to get an idea of how it works: https://interviewme.now/@max and then get your own: It's free!

Sounds interesting. Any plans to open source it? I didn't see a GitHub link.

Westinghouse makes a line of "non-smart" TVs. A few obscure Chinese brands do also.

Sometimes the reasons people give are not the real reasons.

Shit. This was my last near-stock Android choice with great battery life. What's the alternative now? I hate Pixels and don't really want to give Google my info anyway. Is there something decent left?

Nothing.

Openrouter definitely supports vision models. Why would you have to give up vision?

> Why would you have to give up vision?

Because you would have to switch model.

You can't just say "Oh, button X looks weird see [screenshot]" while coding with GLM. You would need to switch to another model and then maybe back.

For example if I want to paste a screenshot of what I mean, I can't.

My experience has been quite the opposite. I have done far better than my peers and have less debt. I wonder which country you're in?

Even if they are... road to hell and all that

After recently figuring out how to get CUDA running on Fedora I'm inclined to agree.

Seriously, GPUs are a mess and keeping LLMs from helping us use them properly is practically a crime.

Vulkan is horrendous, LLMs largely eased the frustration of working with it for me. We talk about AI slop, but what about the human slop...

A year ago I was using claude and found it unexpectedly blowing-away already-settled code. I found this frustrating and just wanted to drop a "save point" where I could compare the before and after versions of certain files. So I built a little utility called "bup" that tarballs the whole code tree and gives it a unique name. It ignores prior backups and has options to ignore certain subdirectories, VCS directories, artifact directories, or secrets files. And you can add a single switch (-s) to create a shell script that automatically backs-up the current project. Yes I can use git for this, but this is honestly way easier, especially if I want to compare/edit different versions. No names. No files. No trees. Just "bup .". And it's 100% bash. https://github.com/maxk42/bup

I'm probably the only one who'll ever use it but I like it.

Tahoe is not a town. It is a region containing many towns. Most of it will continue to have power (mostly through NV Energy). This is a single utility that has failed to plan for this planned transition for 17 years. Invoking the data center bogeyman for political sympathy is the only thing going on here. Liberty has failed repeatedly to address this problem for nearly two decades and it's beyond time they were cut loose. I have sympathy for the people who have to suffer from their failure but this is not NV Energy's fault nor is it related to data centers at all: NV energy has been rapidly expanding capacity faster than growth in consumption and has 19 active geothermal plants in the area with more on the way as well as wind and solar.

I have no problem with new datacenters being built, but if the Fortune article is to be believed, it's that the suddenly tight timeline is due to the rapid increase in need for these facilities.

my post is more about how we really need to be seeking energy sources from all possible corners, and we have a government that is literally paying billions to contractors to cancel wind projects.

The timeline expired 17 years ago. They've been granted numerous extensions. This deadline is neither new nor "suddenly tight". They were granted another extension last year. They're simply informing Liberty there will be no further extensions. If you have to wonder who's wrong: The utility that's been granting extensions for 17 years or the utility that's been missing their deadline for 17 years I think you'll have your answer if you think about it.
