Best way to do this sort of thing is to be short and sweet.
“I’m really interested in this work and felt my first interview didn’t hit the mark. Would you be willing to give me another chance to show my capabilities?”
I think it says everything you need to without seeming over-eager or desperate.
Neurotypical people prioritize vibes over most things socially… and you’re disabled in vibe detection and vibe projection.
If you want to level up your career, you need to practice interviewing and find somewhere else that will hire you… In my experience, internal career growth happens for people who get along well with the social end of things. I may suck at that, but I learned to handle the brief intensity of masking well for an interview.
Best thing to do is try to move around every couple years until you find a job where you can just focus on the work and disregard the social nonsense.
yeah, well, this is what I mean by the inherent problems. The open models still hallucinate, they are still probability-driven. Even when guided by RAG and other precautions, it still is only as good as those supporting elements can offer (assuming they are high-quality themselves).
On balance, I do not understand how this kind of tool will help officers in the field unless it is to advise on procedures for the officer to follow. Not trying to interpret situations as offenses or not, not trying to be a pocket legal interpreter.
I only suggest that whomever decided to try this for VicPD is being supported by a LLM geek that probably at least cares how well the models are performing. They seem to understand what kind of safeguards should exist for this type of thing to exist in this space… I personally doubt its good enough, but I rather see this than ChatGPT.
It sounds like they are running self-hosted Ollama with custom RAG.
If I believe Vic PD description of what they’ve made available, its probably one of the best possible situations. Someone who knows LLMs and understand what they are has created a relatively thoughtful implementation, its not just because some braindead executive wants to get in bed with Google.
It still has a lot of the problems and should be scrutinized heavily, but at least they aren’t piping their data into Grok or anyone else for that matter.
Yes, agree.

Cool. How does he plan to male that happen?
By acting like a cunty little bitch? Because thats been really effective so far.
It was a pretty big shift for me when I realized that a big part of my mood was tied to my sensory load. Using tools like earplugs or shades makes life go better when my nervous system decides to flare up and make everything loud, bright and annoying.
OK, yeah I will give these a shot. I really don’t like the disposable factor of the earplugs, but the 3M ones I likes are the only ones that arent uncomfortable and fit well. If i can find a reusable that does the same job, I’d like that.
I fricken loved this aspect of the COVID times. People were so much more friendly toward me by default when we all wore masks.
These are the things that help me: Earplugs. I prefer these ones https://www.amazon.ca/3M-Non-corded-Disposable-Earplugs-Pairs/dp/B000I7LH8Y but you might have some luck with Loops as well. I would like those except they don’t fit one of my ears very well.
Light-filtering Glasses. Sunglasses are good for outdooes, but I also have a pair of FL-41 coated glasses. They are meant for migraine sufferers, but I swear they make processing easier when I wear them. https://www.theraspecs.com/fl-41-glasses/
Stop trying to live your life according to the standard, accepted template. It’s really important to decide what you value in life and reject the judgments of others. You have to figure out how to be okay with, or enjoy, being outcast. It’s not so bad once you figure that out. https://www.amazon.ca/Courage-Be-Disliked-Phenomenon-Happiness/dp/1668069539
Can you give an example? I don’t quite understand.
Oh, so you agree with me then? This is effectively the problem that I’m pointing to.
We have so many natural resourced that we could make into products. The wholesale of raw materials to other countries is the stupidity.
Just stop all that. We can, and should, make high-quality goods.
You need to care about how others are feeling. Understanding what it is they are feeling and why, using mainly non-verbal cues, is the hard part.
Fuck what others think, though. You really don’t wanna get wrapped up in that.
I’ve gotten a lot better with this by understanding that I don’t always need to share (or even have) an opinion on things. In fact, actively choosing not to have an opinion on the things that don’t need one is pretty healthy.
It’s so much easier to just shrug than make up a lie of any kind.
OK. Well then pay cheeto-man his bribe and get your own subsidy. it’s not hard to figure it out.
Crank the dial up to 11 and then break it off trying to go past that.
If you don’t have the permission and money for expensive renovations, then high quality earplugs is the answer. I have gone through a lot of different earplug products because of the discomfort of wearing them.
These 3M ones, I can wear for 12 hours straight, no problems. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000I7LH8Y
