I am in the process of recruiting a software engineer. You're on spot when saying "ask about human experience".
To add to your experience, I became increasingly suspicious of the "perfect fit" resumes. it's insane how so many people just put the right keywords. I think it might work to pass in larger companies where HR use automated systems to triage applicants.
If your resume is not a perfect fit, you don’t get an interview. So either it’s a almost perfect fit or no chance to get the job. What’s wrong about that?
I don't conduct interviews in that manner. It is more important for me to know that I can trust your words and that you are aware of your limits, so you can learn any missing skills on the job.
For example, if you have 3 years of working experience and claim, "I know Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Azure, Python, React, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and networking extensively," in 99% of cases, I can no longer trust anything you say.
As for the 1% hidden gem I might miss out on, I likely won't have the budget for them anyway.

I don't know if this is true per se, but many job seekers in online forums seem to believe it is. Typically, keyword stuffing is thought to placate some nebulous "AI system."
Whether such systems actually exist is unclear to me.
It is because most of this was expected, even without turmoil. Model Y transitioned from the previous design to an updated design, leading to factory downtimes and a near complete sellout for this quarter. That one model represents ~2/3rds of Tesla sales volume. They kept sellable Model Y inventory to nearly zero, despite massive protests right at the end of quarter.
Q2 is the one to look at to measure actual sales impacts from the protests. The ramp for new Model Y has been fairly smooth, so it should be a full quarter of normal production if demand is there.
This quarter should be fairly representative. February Model Y sales were down significantly for the reason you espouse. March Y sales are up substantially due to unfulfilled orders for February and enhanced demand due to the new model.
However, Model Y availability is now "next day", meaning that the March bump is over.
New Model Y deliveries didn't really get to a good pace in the US until about mid-March.
Toward the end of the month, people said the new Y delivery was "same day" in the US. I looked and saw a few available, but only really specific color and wheel combinations. By the end of the quarter, those were gone and delivery times had jumped to ~2 weeks. All of this stuff varies a bit regionally, but it doesn't seem like they were sitting on meaningful inventory at the end.
I don't think extrapolating from this quarter to anything is particularly easy. It will get even more confusing in the second half, and next year, as they start self-delivering for "robotaxi" operations.
They might not have inventory (aka next day availability), but ~2 week availability means that they aren't production constrained and have already satisfied extraordinary demand for the new Model Y and are back to ordinary demand. When they were production constrained, delivery estimates were much longer than 2 weeks.
Tesla cars are sold online, not at dealerships or "showrooms" like other cars. A surge of buyers trying to cash in on $5k in rebates before it runs out isn't implausible.
There was already some antiTesla sentiment brewing, has been for quite a while but once he actually started his chainsaw schtick on the real government sentiment went down hill FAST.
You could come up with a list of features that are plausible but I can't imagine a world where having my scanner send an email would be more convenient than just having a scanned document directly on a computer or phone.
Brother printers can scan to network shares without Internet access. Local networking is plenty.
> but I can't imagine a world where having my scanner send an email would be more convenient than just having a scanned document directly on a computer or phone.
I have a home office laser combo - it has a touch display on it and is bulky next to - when I need to scan in receipts I just upload it to a share folder where my accountant can pick it up.
Given the capabilites of the average HN user, it would be trivial to send to a local share that is monitored and auto uploads, effectively firewalling the printer off. I do this with my "smart TV", it only has access to my web proxy and a DNS sever I control, whitelist only.
I have never found a reason to do that personally. It seems like an extra step I don't need. I also don't want the printer going near a shared folder and I definitely don't want the printer's true owner (the vendor) to be handling my documents over email!
Both HP and Brother offer this - it goes to a server that then sends to an email you have configured. I’d guess the vast majority of people who use the scanner do this rather than setting up a share on a home network.
Not sure why people keep falling into these mental traps.
Regardless of whether the system you're deriding is a "Chinese room", "stochastic parrot", "brute force" or whatever other dericive term-du-jour you want to use, if the system performs the required task, the only thing that actually matters is its cost to operate.
And if that cost is less than paying a human, that human, and society at large is in trouble.
Depends what problem you're trying to solve. Have we built something that can replace us completely in terms of reasoning? Not yet.
We have built something that can multiply a single persons productivity and in some constrained scenarios replace people entirely. Even if say your customer support bot is only 80% effective ( only 20% of interactions require humans to intervene ) that still means you can fire 80% of your support staff. And your bots will only get cheaper, faster, better while your humans require salary increases, hiring staff, can get sick, can't work 24/7 etc.
People so often forget that good is not the enemy of perfect.
