Don't completely remember but I think most of the time coding then spent the last 10-30 minutes thinking through what questions they might ask, what I would do if I had more time, etc.

I think a better interface for computers for blind people would be really cool. I have a lot of ideas but without a bunch of money saved up or a concrete plan, I don't really have the time, energy to spend my little off time researchin

If your refactoring includes changes to interfaces, different abstractions, logical changes, business logic, then most of your tests need to be effectively rewritten. The only part where I see unit tests being useful for refactoring is maki

Tinder a while back. First and largest part of the interview was 3 hours where they left you alone in a room with the task of implementing a few simple endpoints end to end. Then everyone came back and reviewed your solution and asked ques

Not always. Lot of smart people realize hard work beats talent.

I haven't had the energy to sit down and learn something new in a long time. Its all similar enough and after 10+years of seeing code, I don't imagine any wow moments learning anything. Maybe you'd be interested in trying to

It needs to be some integration with the actual provider. You should be able to cancel through your CC, but they ought to get notified you canceled.

There's a few issues with this IMO: 1. Changes often require changing the functionality of a component, which means many of the current unit tests are bunk and need to be updated. Changes that are simply refactoring but should retain t

Sounds and visuals I believe both map to a more fundamental language of the human brain.

Half of the city infrastructure is dedicated to supporting 3000-5000 pounds of highly manufactured metal to move a single 100-200 pound passenger going the same direction as everyone else. And we want to spends billions on autonomous drivin

Its a bit ironic because Turing seems to have came up with the idea of the Turing machine precisely by thinking about how he computes numbers. Now thats no proof, but I dont see any reason to think human intelligence isnt "computable&q

Its so perplexing to me how the laws of physics replicates simple properties into massive scales.

These problems are spatial problems, they are not some outer wordly problems.

Test date is always a secret no, otherwise you can train it on the test data and prod your algo to match the results closely as possible

I think the reasoning is very simple. Everything that happens happens in space through time. Intelligent systems must solve problems where they observe what's happening in space over some amount of time, and then predict whats going to

Complex numbers are just 2d numbers and they are mapped on a 2d plane, yeah. They are just a 2d vector. Callling them imaginary numbers is silly in the first place, 2+i is just the vector (2,1), all we mean here are the two numbers are orth

Its not just a matter of mapping, no, but imo its a critical first step. You need a model of space-time. You need to be able to place all the facts into a spatial world following the physical laws. Take this problem, and assume you dont kno

Literally every single thing you reason about is something happening in space-time.

I made another comment here saying the same thing, but visual patterns and other patterns are nonetheless spatial patterns. Audio, understanding music, or speech, rtc are things that are happening spatially, and they can just as easily be

by andoando 2y ago
I would argue that spatial reasoning encompasses all reasoning. All the things you mentioned have a direct analogue to abstract models and logic we employ and are engrained deeply into language. For example, shapes containing eachother: The

How does saying "Im an introvert" not put yourself into a bucket? Youre quite literally using someone elses made up categorization to define who you are, and people tend to speak of this as an innate and overcompassing trait, and

I imagine having offical languages dictates that all the state functions have to operate in said official languages. If you have a government office for example, your website, pamphlets, administered tests etc for example have to be printed

I hate this extrovert vs introvert thing too. People don't fit simiply into these buckets.

by andoando 2y ago
I dont even like it on a personal level. People use these terms to describe themselves in very narrow buckets and stereotypes, and there is no logic to that at all. I saw a post on /r/ADHD for example thst went something like &quo

Insurance companies are always going to give you unfavorable odds, unless you think for some reason youre more likely than average to have an accident. I don't understand why car/home insurance isnt nationalized

by andoando 2y ago
Insurance is stupid if you are wealthy enough to cover the damages on your own. Insurance for your phone, computer etc for example is certainly stupid for most people.

I think a way to connect these different systems as a homogenous system is the difficult part.

There is no physical evidence for the disgnosis of adhd, so if you want to talk science lets start there

Im diagonsed Adhd and I definitely had years of great success before being medicated. Theres advantages to all the things you're saying under the right circumstances. Also quite frankly just about everyone suffers in one way or another
