  • Gen Z is recording themselves getting fired in growing TikTok trend

    Jump

  • I’m a hiring manager. I have trouble even imagining the kind of person that would just throw a lead into the trash because of a recording of them getting fired. Who does that? What do you possibly have to gain by doing that? Because you have a lot to lose, especially if that candidate got far enough in the process for you to be researching their background. Nobody gets that far unless they are a very good fit.

  • ST: DS9 - Behind The Scenes (1993/LaserDisc)

    Jump

  • Fantastic!

  • If Tasha Yar stayed on the show, what do you think would have happened? How would she have been written?

    Jump

  • Denise Crosby has great talent as a villain. Just look at how she jumped off the screen as Sela. After seeing where the writers went with Ro Laren, I feel confident that Yar would have filled that role. She would have been a friendly foil, either as a member of the Maquis to set up Deep Space Nine, or as an onboard intelligence officer like Malcolm Reed in Enterprise.

    In the early seasons — while Roddenberry’s edict that the crew not have conflict was in effect — I think she would have befriended Data and Geordi, and would have been in many scenes with them.

  • ‘Star Trek’ Spatial Experience Set To Launch On Apple Vision Pro

    Jump

  • Here’s a tip for people who do own the Apple Vision Pro: although the Vision Pro doesn’t support side-by-side video playback out of the box yet, you can use this Archive app to view it. The app has a video player included that will handle various modes of stereoscopic file playback. I haven’t tried it yet, but this is a welcome workaround.

  • A ‘$3,500 Chastity Belt’: Early Apple Vision Pro Adopters Alarmed to Learn VR Porn Doesn't Work

    Jump

  • However there is already at least one third party app that plays SBS video just fine.

    Which app?

    You can also convert SBS video to MV-HEVC, which is arguably a better 3D format, and use the built-in player.

    I investigated this and couldn’t find a tool to do this. Which tools have you seen that do this?

  • Here's how 2 sentences in the Constitution rose from obscurity to ensnare Donald Trump

    Jump

  • His research was published eight days before the insurrection? This man is clearly a time traveler from a dystopian future who was sent back in time to stop Donald Trump.

  • Economists say the labor market is strong — but job seekers don't share that confidence. Why getting a job feels impossible right now

    Jump

  • I was reading elsewhere that some companies who want to transition an H1-B worker to a permanent worker are required to post the position first. They never intend to hire anyone other than the experienced H1-B worker, so the ad stays up for a period of time until they can pretend that the H1-B worker is the only qualified candidate. I don’t know how true this is, but it sure sounds plausible.

  • 'The economy is different now': Parents pay grown-up kids' bills with retirement savings

    Jump

  • I also find the data to be oddly presented, since the data lumps all people between ages 18 to 30 together.

    I think that’s connected to the study linked in the article where the “emerging adulthood” category is defined.

  • Police departments are using AI to review bodycam footage, and police unions are not happy about it

    Jump

  • Using AI to flag footage for review by a person seems like a good time-saving practice. I would bet that without some kind of automation like this, a lot of footage would just go unreviewed. This is far better than waiting for someone to lodge a complaint first, since you could conceivably identify problem behaviors and fix them before someone gets hurt.

    The use of AI-based solutions to examine body-cam footage, however, is getting pushback from police unions pressuring the departments not to make the findings public to save potentially problematic officers.

    According to this, the unions are against this because they want to shield bad-behaving officers. That tells me the AI review is working!

  • I lost my job after AI recruitment tool assessed my body language, says make-up artist

    Jump

  • If a company requires you to re-apply for the job you already have, you lost your job long before you ever recorded yourself with HireVue.

  • Apple employees outnumbered customers at Vision Pro launch in San Francisco's Union Square

    Jump

  • I went to my local Apple Store yesterday morning and saw one person leaving with an Apple Vision Pro and maybe a few people inside trying it out. It wasn’t crowded at all. It seemed like the store was pretty overcrowded with employees, though.

    On the bright side, I was able to get in and out with my purchase really fast!

  • Just joined the OLED club

    Jump

  • It's so much better! Where I first saw how much better OLED was than LCD was in the opening credits of Foundation. There's a bit where a ship passes in front of a star, and the silhouette of the ship is precise and perfect. Just be sure to get your TV calibrated, or do it yourself. Mine came with the whites set to 100%, which sunburns your eyeballs at night.

  • Private and/or cheap places to register a domain

    Jump

  • Totally unintentional. I'll edit it.

  • Private and/or cheap places to register a domain

    Jump

  • Porkbun is sort of the darling of the self hosting community. I settled on them after doing a huge comparison of prices and features of all the different registrars available to me. Porkbun was by far the best.

  • GenAI tools ‘could not exist’ if firms are made to pay copyright

    Jump

  • Of course they will exist. China will own them all.

  • Robot baristas and AI chefs caused a stir at CES 2024 as casino union workers fear for their jobs

    Jump

  • Entire departments? I’m skeptical.

  • Remote Workers Are Losing Out on Promotions

    Jump

  • Yep, just as I suspected. It's the Wall Street Journal.

    The WSJ editors hate work from home. They hate it with a passion. Given the choice, I'm sure they would bump a story about the start of a new world war if they could publish something that says that working from home gives you ass cancer.

  • Apple Vision Pro available in the U.S. on February 2

    Jump

  • Readers will be available for $99

    Has anyone here used a different VR headeset who also needs reading glasses? I use readers (I had laser eye surgery, which made me need reading glasses much earlier than usual). I tried the Meta Quest 3 over the holidays and was surprised to discover that I didn’t need reading glasses to see things “up close.”

  • Don’t forget spatial video. A minute of spatial video is approximately 130MB. 256 GB is going to fill up fast.
