I wrote most of the VIZIO code for consenting and turning on/off the Viewing Data, Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. You can easily toggle that stuff in the settings menu and during the Out-of-box-experience. Last I was there wa

Hey I worked on that project along with bluetooth voice remote. I personally spent a few weeks during Christmas time (2020 or 2019?) making sure the bluetooth pairing process was rock solid. Ending up root causing two deadlock bugs that had

I wrote a review about Replicate last week and cog I was using, insanely-fast-whisper, had boot times exceeding 4 minutes. I wish there was more we can observe to find out the cause of the slow start up times. I was suspecting it was depend

On a related note, I recently learned about the got-scraping module which doesn’t use chromium or any browser but its good at mimicking a browser and executes javascript. I also wrote a module that parallelizes browserless.io / playwri

I have the same experience. I've been unemployed for 5 months as a Senior Software Engineer and I hit most of the job requirements. The only skill I don't directly match is React development for full stack jobs, but I am building

This would have been great when I used to work in embedded development and had to grep log files to root cause bugs. I had thought about writing something like this but was always too busy. The biggest feature is combining log files and org

That's a good point about the applicant number. I don't think anyone knows exactly how it works, but it was the first time I saw a job posting older than a few hours with <10 applicants with such straightforward skills such as

"So It works well for someone smart who is doing their own research." That's a concise explanation that also applies to GPTs and software engineering. GPT4 boosts my productivity as a software engineer because it helps me tra

Thanks. I'm starting to realize that part of the problem is job search and matching. I was contacted by a company recruiter for a small healthcare SaaS in California and had 3 interviews recently. When I looked up the job, only 7 peopl

Thanks. This is the first real test apart from a couple dozen test users. I've received hundreds of prompts in the past 24 hours from Hacker News users, mainly from my suggested questions buttons. The actual questions I got did not pro

This is very easy to do and a great idea! Langchain and Llama Index both have classes to read a directory, if you git clone, and perform a RAG. If you want it to scrape a github URL, there is a module for that too! This starter tutorial wil

Very cool, I signed up. I agree that practicing a coding interview is better under pressure. It's a much difference skill to solve a coding problem both under time pressure and pressure to speak your thoughts to entertain the interview

Man I sure hope so. I spent the last month or two working on my portfolio website to help stand out. I built an interactive resume ai, mostly as novelty, but to help get back into frontend dev. I'm building projects, writing tech artic

Leetcode is not superficial when nearly all companies are using leetcode as a barrier to entry these days. Many of us with 10+ years of experience did not need to practice leetcode to get hired originally, but many would fail miserably toda

Leetcode is good practice but go into full exploring mode and learn new tech. I got back into full stack development (mainly backend guy) and I now have endless ideas. I learned sveltekit and tailwind css to build my portfolio website. I lo

This article really resonates with me. I’ve spent the last two months creating a personal/portfolio website, developing an interactive resume ai, creating an open source web scraping utility, and researching tech non stop. I would say

I posted the short courses just as answer to how to address quality control. I'm not selling anything, and those courses are free anyway. deeplearning.ai was cofounded by Andrew Ng, who is probably the most well known for his work on t

The quality control is a good question, and one that can probably be addressed using evaluation as taught by some of the deeplearning.ai short courses (1). I made an interactive resume ai bot on my personal website and there is an instance

MixRank gave me an overnight insta-rejection and I even included an open source repo I built for web scraping and I have 15 years experience. The market right now is brutal.
