Had a Mac before it was cool to have a Mac, do Mac security stuff. I'm a very serious amateur photographer, specializing mostly in wildlife.

Just got a rejection for a job I applied to almost 5 months ago. No communication from them at all between then and now. Guess what, company that I won’t name… I rejected YOU a long time ago, not the other way around.

They also have been repeatedly calling and e-mailing me, telling me I’m missing leads. I’ve told them I don’t have budget at the moment for paid Yelp services, but they just ignore me and continue with the sales pitch.

Is Yelp a scam?

I have a listing for my business on Yelp, and had two people leave me 5-star reviews. I discovered today that Yelp’s AI has hidden those reviews, as it felt they were “not helpful.” 🤬🤬🤬

i don't care that you can now write apps by prompts. AI is built on decades of my code, forum and blog posts, and my social media posts. AI is burning a shit ton of money to allow you to use the internet we built to enrich a few tech bros and make you expendable.

so, no, i don't want to hear about how great the new model is.

Happy to share the public release of fashion command-line tool, to compute file cryptographic signatures and match files according to cryptographic digests. The project is written in Swift and supports many algorithms including CryptoKit Hash, SSDeep (C bridging), TLSH (C wrapper), SymHash, CDHash, etc.. https://melomac.com/posts/introducing-fashion-command-line-tool/

“A Resume.org survey of 1,000 hiring managers found that 59% say they emphasize AI’s role in layoffs because it “is viewed more favorably by stakeholders than saying layoffs or hiring freezes are driven by financial constraints.” Only 9% said AI had fully replaced any roles. This is not a technology story; it’s a management honesty story that happens to involve technology.”

This is why you should never opt in to any kind of facial recognition data collection… like Clear to get through airports faster.
