It doesn't "know" that the capital of Oregon is Salem. To take an extreme example, if everyone on the internet made up a lie that the capital of Oregon is another city, and we trained a model on that, it would respond with th

Thanks for sharing, I hadn't found a nice semantic nugget to capture these thoughts. This is pretty close! And I've heard of the stories described in the "color terminology" section before.

Have you ever seen a video of a schizophrenic just rambling on? It almost starts to sound coherent but every few sentence will feel like it takes a 90 degree turn to an entirely new topic or concept. Completely disorganized thought. What is

Man, this guy really communicates effectively. He goes on and on but each new sentence has high information density. Solid share, thanks!

Definitely. It kind of depends on what you like. I'm drawn to aesthetics more than I am story. Those photographers are some of the greats though, for sure, and I do think most of the "greats" are that because they blend aesth

Used to go from Logan Circle to Reston and it was god awful. 1h15m some days. > Certain parts are pretty dangerous. It always felt pretty compartmentalized to me, but it's also where a lot of the cool shit and "culture" is

I lived in DC, just south of Logan Circle for the past 5 years, before moving out to Falls Church. I lived in Arlington for 2 years before that, and have plenty of friends in Alexandria and other parts of DC and NoVA, so I feel like I have

I think there will just be a delineation in companies and what they offer in the same way that people used to flock to the big tech companies for all the "perks". Remote will be a "perk", and people who care deeply about

You shouldn't need to measure your company's productivity in output based on these things. Are people getting the necessary work done? Your measures are wrong if you feel worried about not being able to tell if people are "ac

Maybe 5. I'm already doing 6 at home, and don't have to commute, so. 6h days in the office is equivalent to 7-8ish (depending on commute times) hours of me not being able to do anything but work. If they covered the other things l

I think this might do it for me too. Although sub-bullet, (1a) coworkers must be enjoyable to work with.

I honestly appreciate being forced to communicate asynchronously. Write shit down. Document it. Iterate on it. Turn what used to be referred to as "organizational knowledge" into a literal product that doesn't just exist in

Just personal anecdotal data. The main factors for me are just general flexibility and commute. I used to commute 30m-1hr one way. So that's anywhere from 1-2h a day I'm getting back right at the start. Then flexibility: being abl

The company also needs to pay someone to clean my house, do my laundry, take my dog out, and run any other errands that I can fit in during the day.

This reminds me a lot of stoic philosophy. The book "The Obstacle is the Way" is a nice little primer on it. There's a story in there where a man is falsely imprisoned for decades. He spends that entire time learning law and

We've just got the cops that will murder you in cold blood for looking at them wrong. I think I'd take the $50 get out of jail free card, if I could.

I guess that depends on how you're measuring, but I don't have a side-by-side of a recent Intel mac to compare, really.

The job market really depends on you personally, and how in demand your skills are. A house is not cheap though, as others are pointing out. It pays off in the long run, but there's risk that if you have to get out for some financial e

$2M has to be a jumbo mortgage, unless the FHA regulations have changed. These usually carry a decent increase in interest rate, not to mention the higher LTV will also do that. You'd probably be getting a raw deal there...

A fun one I had to deal with: tree fell on my power lines the day before I moved in. No big deal, the utility company will come out and repair it, right? Well, it ripped the electrical drop out of my roof, and they wouldn't reattach un

Frankly, LeetCode itself has pretty good guides on all of the information, that then use the problems as the "quiz". I found a pro subscription for a few months to be pretty worthwhile.
