One day an AI will write a brilliant book. It will write something as good as the most competent and insightful human writer out there. And it will write a thousand more. The problem is that for every good book there will be a thousand bad

Recruiters are there to get you hired, not to tell the truth. I imagine the messaging internally for recruiting teams has changed drastically. Is there anyone who still wants to work at facebook at this point? The company that is laying off

You could argue that Alberta is just undervalued, which is probably true… but not exactly a good consolation for people who were already struggling to get by before 2022.

Seriously. According to [1] rent in Calgary has increased 39% (!!) compared to last year. Still below Toronto and Vancouver, but pretty ridiculous. [1] https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/calgary-ab

While this is a good list of books, I find it hard to believe that a curriculum could cover them in any sort of detail. Imagine trying to cover Proust or Dante or Gibbon in the week or so you have until moving on to the next book. A little
