There is pretty much one thing advances in AI tells us. Most of humanity is nothing more than a statistical approximation algorithm. But that doesn't mean human intelligence is. What is fundamentally lacking from modern AI is the abili

There is nothing impossible about it. We barely scratched the surface of data storage mechanisms. All it takes is another few breakthroughs and we likely can store all of Youtube of all times in a block the size of an ice cube.

My worst experience so far were pair-programming interviews. This requires so much training on the interviewee side of things that most companies just completely tank this one. They have some fixed expectations in their head and they have n

"perfectly normal to trawl production customer data" It's not. And there are plenty of trainings inside of Amazon to make you aware of that. It is your fault, in the end, to not report your team. I have been on several teams

I am not suggesting to replace democracy... The thing is that we don't have a democracy in most countries. It's more like the government is throwing a bone to people. Real power comes through lobbying. So in a way, lobbyists have

You contradict yourself. If there are no shades of gray, why don't you post a link here to a website with cameras into your home, a direct link to a microphone you carry at all times, passwords to all your accounts and the public &quot

This story is fascinating (you really should read the whole book). But using her as example is completely misleading. She is a genius (I think). Very similar to the movie "Good Will Hunting". She got accepted into Cambridge with l

This sounds like a good old coverup lol. Seriously? The assistant? Because he stole tens of thousands of dollars and got a payment plan setup for it? And then what, he goes and uses an electric saw to dismember the body? Right. That's

Exactly, short-selling and writing a damaging article is kinda similar to Casino Royale... Just well, you don't try to explode a new airplane prototype while fighting off James Bond, you just write a damaging blogpost. The concept is t

I am focusing on the algorithmic part, which is the only thing I can influence in my company's interviews. I wish we would evaluate candidates with some pair programming, but that's never going to happen. > incredibly high stak

D was dead by all practical measures since its inception. It was never revolutionary enough to warrant the huge costs of migrating there. This is where Rust comes in...

Yeah it dawned on me the moment I hit sent... That this is probably something like ASP.NET for C++. Probably some people still need that :). Legit use case, just I think they need to work a lot on their messaging.

I find it irritating that even after reading their front-page and the "How you can use WT" I still have no clue what it is supposed to be. Is this an embedded browser? Is it a C++ app GUI that allows you to use HTML like construct

"You'd think that it would have all been figured out by now." Would you? Video compression is one of the few things that we will work on for the next 1000 years and still be nowhere near finished. The best video compression w
