The interviewer is not thinking logically. How does he know it's a good interview problem? Let's look at the data: >The fastest I had a candidate solve the entirety of the problem with all bells and whistles was in 20 minutes,

> I believe the reason people keep arguing with you is that you keep saying "must" instead of "my preference is that...". No. The reason is because a lot of the people on this thread are also people who take these hug

There is space for placebos in conventional medicine. Doctors CAN and are allowed to prescribe placebos. However medicine strives to maintain a separation between an actual body of scientific knowledge and placebo treatments. So, yes, while

This is an illustration about not just placebos but how delusional people are. These are doctors who were taught to be investigative and logical yet they were so delusional they have to say that you were faking the blood that you were cough

There is a difference between being scared of taking photos of random strangers versus actually doing it. I would mark you as the former... you're just scared. Nobody cares. At most they will be slightly annoyed, but ultimately they fo

I should generalize the argument with more nuance. Not that a "photo" must have "people". More accurately an "album" must have "living things". So a collection of photos must contain photos (not all)

It's dead already in the sense that you won't see this stuff published on the news or anything. As a hobby though I don't think it will ever die. You'll see a lot of this stuff on personal blogs or websites. A lot of sof

Totally agree. If that's the goal then great. I'm an introvert myself and I completely relate. But I do have a desire to produce great photos that meet my own standards of quality and including people is one of my personal standar

It's not an attack. Just an opinion. Just like you have an opinion different from mine. You should not downvote someone for having a different opinion. You're exaggerating this opinion by calling me prejudice against software engi

>They make things worse for all of us. This is an exaggeration. 99.99 percent of the time nobody cares. Why? Because it's really not a huge deal.

There is a downvote button once you pass a certain number of karma points you can take your reactionary opinion and downvote people without consideration to nuance. I prefer a comment like this so I can explain myself. I'm not referrin

I promote both asking and just taking it. Asking for a photo produces something different then just taking it. Personally the whole dick move thing I don't care about. It's such a minor thing. It's true though that you don&#x

How is having personal taste weird? It's not weird at all given all people have personal taste and all people dismiss things or promote things based off of their own preferences. Additionally there is also the shared reality of human t

Replace people with living things. My argument still applies. Even for nature photography people can be a part of it. For nature though I typically expect a lot of animals not just landscapes, textures and macro shots of plants all the time

The key is both. Your family member at a gas station doing something. A photo should tell a story. In twenty years you want the memory of the story not some posed artificial set up. Like with all stories, the setting is important so you sh

One thing that makes photography collections extremely flat is a lack of people. A lot of programmers like photography and a lot of their albums, I'm sorry to say, just aren't good and a huge part of it is because these albums lac

Don't forget. Technology improves. Everything we see now is simply the inception. Additionally chatGPT is in fact already superior to people in many instances of writing. For example, composing a rhyming poem about some obscure topic;

It's useful. You have to think on the macro scale. The evolution of the entire population rather then individuals. On the individual level stupider people reproduce more so evolutionary speaking it's more efficient to be stupid. H

No. I agree that it is morally right to help people in need. But it is not a fair trade. You cannot redefine the term "fair" to be inline with your moral values. We have different terms for what you are referring to. When you dona

Type 3 engineers invented chatGPT with the end goal of moving closer to actualizing the reality of Making software the solution to any problem. In one sense they are myopic. In another sense they are thinking further than anyone else.

These are high level safety features that replace another sibling high level construct: The garbage collector. It's a different style of programming but still high level. Make no mistake the abstractions are high level but the cost is

But this research came out mere weeks after the release of gpt-4. That is in itself rapid. If small incremental changes like this continue on a sort of monthly basis, the trendline points towards something that's not a dead end. That&#

This is an old myth thats no longer fully true. Rust is a language that straddles both high level and low level in the sense that it is literally indistinguishable. You can use rust as if it were a high level language without knowing anythi
