Has anyone read the book or tried this? It all feels very surface level, though some of the challenges listed on the site (e.g., being exposed to too much info, not remember books well, reading too many articles, etc.) do resonate with me.

That’s brilliant. I’m going to use this for all my product development work moving forward. Thanks for that!

You know, it does kind of suck at times... But you'll also be really surprised at how quickly you improve. I give this advice to dozens of people and maybe 5% actually do it. After spending an hour, they go from mediocre to good! It&#x

Here is what I recommend for everyone , regardless of role. 1. Make an Excel/Google sheet with 50+ questions you think will come up in an interview. 2. Open Zoom and start recording. 3. Randomize the question list and practice answeri

Does anyone know if Prolog has been used in video games? I keep wondering if complex histories like those in Dwarf Fortress are coded via a Prolog-like approach to keep them consistent and correct.

Interesting product! What do you mean by "found an average of $1.5M in net worth for our users"?

By selling. Two experiences when I was 16: (1) I was launching a blog on geopolitics in 2002 and needed to get subscribers. I went out with a clipboard to various political events and asked people if they'd like to sign up. A lot said

I’m always amazed when a natural phenomenon like this is predicted and then discovered a few decades later. The genius and creativity required to think of something like this is impressive… And then the joy of validation!

I believe this would depend on your DM. I've been playing since the mid-90s (not sure if that's far back enough for you! :) ), and we rarely rolled for random encounters like that. In general the DM has a lot of say over the rules

So what? I too wouldn't know how to draw anything related to "ophanim" unaided by a dictionary. I'd also argue that its ability to come up with symbols that look oddly like letters but aren't actual letters could be

I need to give you my email address to sign up. Can't you email me and ask me to hop on a call, fill out a survey, etc.? Also, if no one replies to your request, that's a data point as well.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can. I think each phase builds on the prior one; the life experience informing the emotions you feel. The tragic phase is a result of not living up to the unrealistic expectations one has, and the comed

The young man, who does not know the future, sees life as a kind of epic adventure, an Odyssey through strange seas and unknown islands, where he will test and prove his powers, and thereby discover his immortality. The man of middle years,

+1... I coach a lot of new engineers during their job search and good portfolios make a huge difference. You get more interviews, people trust you more, and recruiters are more likely to reach out. If you need help, check this out: https:&

That's a beautiful question. I am not intimately familiar with Singapore's planning processes. The authors above (Jane Jacobs, James C. Scott) would argue that the best cities/countries are ones that have a centralized strate

Your dad will be a unicorn -- someone who knows how to code, but also has the business/social aptitude to manage relationships with executives. This is very rare and impressive. I'd encourage him to give this a shot. A lot of tech

FWIW, I've definitely hired people on Upwork and have never spoken with them in "real time".

Interesting. Anyone have ideas as to why this works so well with JavaScript specifically? I tried to include similar commands in Python (i.e., use a prompt that implies Python based on commenting style) and it doesn't even write code,

Gotcha! That makes sense re: HN... Not sure why I assumed calls/puts, tbh.

That really sucks. I hope your friend is doing better now. :(

Oof, this sounds awful. This obviously doesn't matter now, but my understanding is that call/put options are not taxable if you exercise them[1], rather they get included in the cost basis for whatever you end up owning once you e

What kinds of companies do you work for? I find the actual vision of a company and the products one is working on has a pretty big impact on what I do. If you've been working at very large corporations that simply give you Jira tickets

I love that OpenAI is adopting the prompt as a way to "program" GPT-3. It's one of the most intuitive approaches to setting up a model and I love it when non-developers can go in and pleasantly surprise themselves by "tr

Beautiful point! I remember reading about this a few years ago, and it is a fantastic confounding factor. I wonder -- do cancer studies take cancer detection rates into account?
