  you were supposed to bore a tunnel directly between the two points

    jeez, trick question

  Very likely not for the positions above! (they all focus on Python)

    Slightly off-topic (but related to the side thread where people didn’t realize you went to Tesla): your HN about still says you’re at OpenAI :).

      oops, thank you, fixed :)
      • boulos 7y ago
        As long as you’re here, I’d love to get an updated PyTorch vs TF from you in the sibling thread as payment :).

  Could you have just used dijkstra or breadth first search?
• ars 7y ago
  How does that work? Where you given the algorithm to use? Or was it really a data science question, rather than a programming question?
  • meheleventyone 7y ago
    Without more details it sounds like an algorithm problem you'd be expected to solve from prior knowledge. Stuff like a breadth first search from the start point, up through various path finding algorithms to applying heuristics (I believe route finding on roads exploits the road topology).
