This is exactly why I stopped using LinkedIn for job search. The filters were already broken before they added the AI layer.

Built something to sidestep it: Peregrine. Scrapes job boards directly, runs the AI parts locally on your own hardware. No LinkedIn account needed. Cover letters stay on your machine unless you opt into cloud tier.

Still early (alpha) but functional: https://git.opensourcesolarpunk.com/Circuit-Forge/peregrine

Happy to take bug reports and feedback.

Yeah, done two separate things in this space.

Cover letter fine-tuning: Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct as the base, QLoRA via Unsloth (rank 16, 10 epochs). Trained on ~62 of my own cover letters, exported to GGUF, loaded into Ollama. Fits comfortably on 8GB VRAM with 4-bit quantisation. Noticeably more consistent than prompting a generic model for voice and style matching.

Email classification: completely different story. Classifier models for routing emails into categories (rejection, interview scheduled, offer, etc.) don't need a GPU at all. DeBERTa-small runs on CPU in milliseconds. The hard part is the labeling pipeline. We bootstrapped with deterministic heuristics to auto-label high-confidence cases, then routed uncertain ones to a human review queue. Around 2,000 labeled examples was enough for meaningful accuracy.

vs RAG: for classification, fine-tuning wins cleanly. RAG is better when you need to reason over retrieved documents. If you're making a consistent categorical judgment, you want it baked into the weights, not reconstructed from context at inference time.

I build local-first process pipeline tooling at circuitforge.tech

You can get most of these features with a Google voice number and use it on any forwarded number

Bruh I'm still using my fls 11 license from the early '00's and it still works. Modern hardware has made it work even better really

And a sane person/nation would willingly engage in genocide? Insanity doesn't negate intent, only ones ability to distinguish reality or prevent themselves from carrying out actions they know to be immoral. Inb4 India, China, the USA, and Russia of course but you take my point?

Used to play q3 back in the 90's and this is the modernized version. I don't play shooters anymore, but I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who still appreciates the old-school arena format

Deactivate-able hair follicles

Like chromatophores so you can have hair where you want and not where you don't. Maybe it just takes a long time to transition 🤔
