I'm really hoping you mean substantive not subversive.

Let me explain again why I said "disruptive" rather than "substantial":the current "embodied artificial intelligence" still uses 19th-century numerical methods (the Adams-Bashforth integration method from 1883 and the Runge method from 1895) to represent time frames + three-dimensional space calculations to approximate four-dimensional spacetime (relativistic covariance has proven that spacetime is an integrated whole, i.e., four-dimensional spacetime). I will release more specific code later - you might wonder, don't the "scientists" at those big companies know about this? The answer is that they do know, and I will also release the reasons later, which will definitely surprise you!

I actually meant subversive intentionally.

While 'substantive' would mean major progress within the current framework, I’m predicting a shift that subverts the current foundational assumptions of robotics.

Right now, we treat time as a secondary sequence—an 'add-on' to 3D space. Moving to a unified spacetime architecture isn't just a big improvement; it fundamentally undermines the discrete-frame logic that almost all current CV and RL models are built upon. It’s 'subversive' because it requires us to unlearn the way we’ve been processing motion for the last decade.

How is it different in terms of breach of professional ethics than practice interviews many in tech do, never intending to take the offer? I personally have never done them (part laziness, part ethics, part lucky to have little experience of job insecurity), but have been told a few times by people that do that is stupid that I should stay sharp (and waste 5 people's time to help me for free :))

I see the parallel, but there’s a key difference in intent and scale. A candidate doing a practice interview is often a defensive reaction to a volatile market—a way to maintain a personal skill. A company posting 'ghost jobs' is a systematic corporate strategy that pollutes market data and wastes thousands of collective hours. One is an individual trying to survive the system; the other is the system itself failing to act in good faith.

Maybe by providing a unique email to the user that he/she will use for the company. Be sure to forward emails to the user also :D

Haha, that's unlikely.

Earlier this year was playing around with the idea of creating an app to track job applications and the subsequent interview process for candidates. Then using the data to give users insights into companies and roles and how responsive they are. So (with enough adoption) one could see how long they take to respond or even see other candidates they had responded to for a specific position (maybe even allow competing candidates to chat? or see where others are in the interview pipeline).

I could not figure out a way to painlessly gather this info without monitoring users' emails (privacy nightmare) or having users forward emails to the app (too painful/not conducive to user adoption). But if anyone has any ideas how to get around that?

ZuoCen_Liu · 3 days ago
I think the primary obstacle isn't the data ingestion method, but the fact that companies treat the recruitment lifecycle as a proprietary black box. From an HR perspective, transparency is a liability, not an asset. They have zero incentive to cooperate with an external 'tracking' tool because: 1Information Asymmetry is Power: If candidates knew exactly where they stood or how many 'ghost' positions existed, the company would lose its leverage in salary negotiations and timeline control. 2Legal and PR Risk: Making the pipeline visible exposes a company to accusations of bias or 'unfavorable' hiring patterns. 'Privacy' is often used here as a convenient shield to hide inefficiency or lack of intent. Even if you solved the email-scraping problem, you'd likely face Terms of Service (ToS) roadblocks or even legal threats from major corporations claiming you are 'scraping' or 'misrepresenting' their internal processes. The 'pain' of user adoption isn't just about email forwarding; it's about the fact that candidates are often too intimidated to participate in a system that might be seen as 'adversarial' to the very companies they are trying to join. We aren't just missing a tool; we are missing a safe harbor for candidate data sharing.

I did my calculation and the cost is very low that even if you use for 20 years, I should be able to completely manage it.

Therefore, for this project, we may still need to be cautious about promising "lifetime service"
ZuoCen_Liu commented on Ask HN: Decentralized Auth for Information Exchange?    · Posted by u/vxsz

Yeah I think decentralization will be a stretch, especially at the beginning.

About the login, SSO is nice and it will probably be an option, but I heavily prefer good old email+password. It might be trickier, haven't explored SSO before.

The auth/central server will be open source of course, and I'm hoping I could get feedback/auditing that way if anything's wrong (even tho I feel like the process is simple with encryption libs and knowledge). At first it will be heavily experimental and will hold just dummy data and then gradually go from there if it works out.

ZuoCen_Liu · 3 days ago
Single Sign-On (SSO) is not complicated, and platforms that provide services all have detailed tutorials.

I don't think obtaining authentication data is useful; it's better to use it for collecting data on functional experiences.

Hosting a concert to prevent workers from organizing is the ultimate 'Silicon Valley Lord' move. It’s the billionaire equivalent of 'we have pizza in the breakroom so don't ask for a raise.'
