It's 2025, AI is everywhere, why can't something summarize podcasts for me?

How does a submission with no comments, a handful of points, posted by a completely new account, linking to a barely used GitHub repo… go straight to the top of HN?

Weekend HN is always like this.

maybe hn gives preferential treatment to key words like 'job'?

Clever “sorry.sh” using nmcli!

You can also ssh into your wireless router and if it's OpenWrt do a `ifdown wan && ifup wan`. It just happened that I own a Banana PI that used to have ArchLinux ARM on it.

Cool will try to use it to see if I can find fraudlent companies or fake ones.

If you look at the https://github.com/CajuM/jobhunt/blob/master/gh-orgs-gtek.ts... file you should see largely reputable organizations. It's still a churn to find a job as many are not companies that hire, or are just historical start-ups.

You could Google "site:{domain_from_url} careers" and filter them that way with a script. You'll still need a sorry.sh script for that.

You can then use the following prompt on ChatGPT for the top results: "are there job openings at this url: {url} answer in at most one word, either yes or no"

I ended up writing a browser plugin to autofill a lot of fields in job applications. It’s extremely inelegant, just a bunch of hackey jquery stuff to automatically set fields, a few conditionals for slightly less obvious stuff, and that’s pretty much it.

I have thought about trying extend this to something like Selenium and applying to literally every software job on LinkedIn and Indeed automatically, but I can’t imagine that would actually turn out well for me.

I hate this grind. It’s exhausting, more so knowing that most of the jobs I am applying to are probably fake postings to help companies pretend they are growing to get more investor money.

I guess time is wasteable for us peons.

Oh... I did not know companies did that? Even serious ones?

Yeah I think even big companies are doing this now.

To some extent they’ve been doing this for a long time specifically to qualify people for H1B visas; they post applications in obscure places so that they can tell Immigration that they “can’t find anyone in the US to do this job!”, but I think now they realized that it basically cost them nothing to have posts that they have no intention of actually answering to.

I get it, having lots of job posts signals growth and it’s not illegal but it’s annoying how much of my time they waste.

why didn't you use the github api to fetch the data?

CajuM · 6h ago

If I recall correctly the GitHub API for fetching organizations is authenticated and was worried I'd get banned. Either that or the rate limiting was more lax on the web-site.
