They already know that and have since people started using LLMs.

Also, if you write a cover letter with an LLM and don't tweak it, it's obvious to anyone who knows what to look for.

It would sound snarky to say ~~correlation is not causation~~ so let me say instead: just because your sister got a job with that cover letter doesn't mean it's the reason.

Hiring managers and HR don't always read cover letters. Most never do. All your applications go into a applicant tracking system (ATS) anyway and your info gets extracted. Lately, folks uses LLMs to query that stuff: "find me all the candidates who went to top colleges," or "which of these candidates can bend a steel beam with their bare hands," etc.

It's not the right sub for this, but spending a bunch of energy on cover letters won't do much. Better cover letters won't hurt and BAD cover letters might hurt, but there are many other reasons someone doesn't get call-backs.

I have zero clue what field OP works in, but they're actually free to DM me for advice if they like.

Oh, man. I hope you won’t take this poorly, but I can promise you that setting up some kind of GPT4-based LLM to wrote cover letters won’t help you find another job. Not ever.

I’m not sure if you’re trolling (if you are, LOL), but this is not the tree to bark up. Good luck though. The job market sucks at the moment.

I’d been on Reddit for 13 years and finally managed to detox by doing two things only.

  • Uninstalling the app from my phone (along with LinkedIn, which I have to use, but despise). Since the browser experience is terrible, that was half the problem.
  • Strategically muting subreddits that annoyed me.

Wall of text about why (but I’ll use paragraphs):

In recent years, I started noticing that everything discussion-oriented was either a Dunning-Kruger driven echo chamber or a total circlejerk for the default progressive opinion on that subject. And, anything content-oriented was reposts.

Quick caveat: I’m not saying that every progressive position is bad, only that I enjoy forming my own positions without getting yelled at. Also, I don’t know OP’s sub and I’m sure it was well-moderated. I’d imagine quitting as a mod would be emotionally harder.

Anyway, for a few weeks, whenever some low-info/naive/didactic opinion or recycled content popped up, I muted that sub.

The last to go was my professional sub, since I’m in a small field. But once I realized all I’d done there in 13 years was help people starting out, but never once received help myself (since there are virtually no posters with experience), I was good to go. I can mentor elsewhere and probably help way more.

Once I muted stuff, I had a few content subs left like r/urbanhell or r/catio, or other fun stuff I want to keep. But my feed is suddenly super quiet, so I just open it once a week, like a magazine.

It’s not quite quitting, but that’s for when Huffman (or whoever replaces him) realizes that to move the revenue needle, they need to block adblockers like YouTube, or go fucking nuts with sponsored posts, or sell personal data, or build their own LLM on everyone’s posts, or whatever they’re gonna do.

And it probably won’t be Huffman anyway, since he just dumped half a million shares at $50+ and can therefore buy an island, so he is absolutely out of there 😂

Meanwhile, if I’m Reddit’s Unix admin or whatever and have waited for years to vest my equity, I can’t even sell for another 5.5 months. It ain’t gonna be $50+ then. Brutal.

And that’s how it goes. Never again. I don’t miss it, since sending Lemmy memes to my Signal chats replaces most of the hijinks and sex/the outdoors replaces the dopamine.

You're right. For Prowlarr, not sure why I thought that. It installed no problem, but thinking about it more, doesn't do anything for me since there is no difference between searching in Prowlarr and in some browser tab 😂

For flaresolverr, when I run the binary, I get this: [3288970] Error loading Python lib '/media/sdy1/myusername/flaresolverr/libpython3.11.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by /media/sdy1/myusername/flaresolverr/libpython3.11.so.1.0)

I don't know Linux, but an AI search indicates flaresolverr wants to update GLIBC (a GNU library) and that could break shit. That's where I chose to stop before, but I'll ask Feral. At this point, I'm committed.

The 1337x plugin wants Python 3.6.0. My slot had 2.x, so I updated to 3.9. But, the plugin also wants Qbit 4.4.x. Feral always installs 4.3.9 with a --noupdateflag, since that's the version they've tested. I figured I was beat, but just for fun tried to install another plugin that my requirements met. That didn't work either 😂

At that point, I reinstalled Jackett and added 1337x. Which wouldn't work without installing FlareSolverr, which requires Docker, which is unsupported on Feral since it needs root. Nice!

Another commenter noted I could just use Prowlarr (and I was going to) but that also requires Docker, so this story has a sad ending. That ending is me pasting in magnet links from another tab and wishing for three hours of my life back...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Didn’t know that. I might end up doing this. I thought I needed at least two others to actually connect to the movie/tv trackers!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Yep, it's on the same Feral server and account. I tried a direct link too. That was: /media/sdy1/myusername/.local/share/qBittorrent/nova3/novaprinter.py

I did think that would work since I needed a direct link to install a skin, but no joy.

Arr is way more than I want or need. I use a seedbox so I can easily keep ratios up on private trackers or blast in an episode I want to watch immediately, but I can't be bothered with that finnicky thing! It has like 19 components.

For my level of downloading, the old ways are best ;)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Oh, understood! Yup, it's on by default.

I ended up registering for the QBittorrent forums, since I'm just not going to figure this out elsewhere. If the admins ever approve me 🙄and I post and get an answer, I'll update this thread.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I'm stumped. I deleted all the plugins and restarted QBit, then clicked Update plugins. After restarting again, I had the default ones. But I can't add any.

Just to rule this out, what do you mean by "enabling search plugins"? I don't see a setting for that.

 

Hi! Beta tester here. I may be missing something, but it doesn't look like there's a way of sharing Lemmy posts yet in Memmy.

The main two use cases I miss are these:

  • I want to use the iOS share sheet to send a Lemmy post (or its linked media) to another app or user in iOS
  • I want to download an image in a Lemmy post to my camera roll

Thanks! Great work so far.

Hi! I'm trying to add a Kbin community to my account here on Lemmy, and nothing seems to work. I've tried pasting in the https URL and the Kbin URL, but nothing comes up in Lemmy search.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple. For reference, this is the community: @[email protected]

Thanks!
