       Applied for a job again.Job search site tells me to "Stand out by sending a quick message to <employer>".I can either mess this up completely, like the HR takes a slight issue with a choice of words, or have nothing happen to my application.But I'm trying it anyway.

       Sent draft 1 to AI, it says while it may be authentic, it doesn't sound eager and comfident enough.It gives me a revised version that sounds robotic and generic.

       Sent my human written message.Get a pop up from job search site advertising the AI feature for writing instant messages to employers.We're at the point of having AI write 1-2 sentence messages for people.

       I walked into a linear algebra pop quiz (the "programming test") and did "better than the average" according to the graphics programmer that interviewed me.

       new word I made up:scutibrained mistake : to get the definition incorrect but correctly identify the uses.scuti can not correctly implement a cross product function from scratch (without the internet) but remembers what to use a cross product function for from a linear algebra library.

       I think I will fumble with defining linear regression too. I will say its for finding a best fitting line for a set of points but mess up on implementing it myself.

       So with this job application, the "HR person" / initial point of contact who read my cover letter and resume was not actually HR but one of the other programmers.

       @scuti Find some service that sucks shit for no good reason, throw together a little tool to do it. Better if it doesn't require you to actually serve regularly.

       @Zergling_man Developing a "tool" to solve those problems involves an answer most people don't want to hear.
