Sometimes it looks like the longer you're looking for a job, the harder it gets for some reason. That's unintuitive for me, as you should be getting more confident in interviews etc
Other angle: often interview with candidate A goes well, but then you meet candidate B who is comparable but wants less money. From my experience that happens more often now, as there are more people who are desperate and willing to lower their salary expectations to a level that I wouldn't consider reasonable few years ago.

Claude code proxy technically works with openai but tool use breaks every now and then on o3-mini, making it unusable for me

you seem to think all classical ML models were supervised, which isn't true. and we have metrics for unsupervised approaches as well

Re:Piracy Is Back: Piracy Statistics for 2023 on Thursday December 07, 2023 @08:50AM (#38556226)
It's always funny for me how the lost profits they calculate are inflated as hell.

Here for example, they state that the US economy lost 29B$ due to piracy. In majority of the cases people who downloaded some of these shows/music would never buy all of these at full price.

I personally subscribe to 3-5 streaming services and still if I'm looking for something classic (e.g. 1995 Heat) it always turns out to be either unavailable in my region or only provided on some niche platform I've never heard of. If you're just watching what's hot right now then everything works fine, but any other case you're in trouble and have to dig through the internet just like in the old days of pirate bay.

I dont see any way to share feedback via website, but the Polish translation has so many errors it is hard to even guess what the rules are

Isn't this page a shared list? As Kagi user I can click a button next to every domain here to apply given setting

I started using Kagi specifically because of more accurate results in Polish comparing to other search engine.

In Poland it's still a little bit slower, only serious hiring I see is for senior roles in business critical teams. No great new investments made
