Sure, but it doesn't really. Or at least I don't see how it's possible to do it correctly. Such an analysis would need to: a) prove that such outliers are caused by cheating, b) prove *which* form of cheating led to those out

Ok. Then it's on people in your camp to a) quantify the impact of *specific* forms of cheating, b) ensuring that you're not painting with too fine nor too broad a brush. For instance, it was understood by those in the uhhh let&#x2

It doesn't fully help in this situation but in general I've found to never give it an either/or and to instead present it with several options. It at least helps cut down on the situations where Claude runs off and starts wri

There is also the assumption that players weren't taking steroids until much later than it likely started to occur. We know that athletes were experimenting with steroids going way back, at least the 40s & 50s. Further, having th

Not necessarily true. This was discussed ad nauseum in the early aughts.2 bits that are less obvious: 1) the most challenging aspect is maintaining energy throughout a long season. Drugs that help with that are useful. 2) pitchers were beli

I mean, as long as we're going to pretend that players weren't chemically enhanced as far back as the 60s (if not further), then sure? From steroids to amphetamines, it was far from uncommon.

Because basic science is the sort of thing that no one funds, yet winds up being very useful at the applied science phase that people do fund. So it's useful as a community to fund basic science as it leads to really cool applied scien

If the target was not actively trying to log into GOOD at that exact moment, why would they treat this as anything other than one of a phishing attempt or spam?

This is interesting. Even as an adult I was always a big fan of Saturday morning cartoons. And I have a very distinct memory of somewhere around 1999-2001 that fading out of existence and being replaced by the sort of schlock you describe.

I'll take this a step further. I don't understand why so many people are installing security cameras at all. And my observation has been that there's often an inverse correlation between how much someone needs such a camera a

The problem is now the company has no skin in the game. If the company spent a large amount of time & energy vetting the candidate then it is a more equal transaction.

My observation has been that the 5 minute angle is far more common. But it's also not like I'm the only person out there like myself on this topic.

I would agree that it's not typical. However I firmly believe that it is imperative for interviewers to treat the candidate as the more valuable commodity. As such, I will spend a fair amount of time per-candidate as I know they themse

I agree with the philosophy although I'll note you're not taking one thing into account. And that is how much human time is spent *reviewing* whatever special little project they assign to you. If the answer is zero, then you&#x27

From both sides of the table, I have a strict philosophy that the candidate's time is the more valuable commodity. Thus in any situation where a company is offloading internal effort but still requiring the candidate to put in time &am

Disagree entirely, and would suggest the parent intentionally dive in on things like this. The best way to skill up over the course of one's career is to expose yourself to as broad an array of languages, techniques, paradigms, concept

It does, or at least it triggers suspicions. Have had more than one conversation with fellow interviewers debating if someone was using an AI tool during the session or just wired the way you describe.

To be clear, it's simple for a *company* to fire someone. It often can be a pain in the ass for a *manager* to do it. For instance, a process like this: 1) Need to set up a clear paper trail over a period of time. For instance, a track
