   I am so confused. When I write code, I think "Okay I want to write a for loop that does xyz." How is it hard to know if copilot did or didn't do what you wanted?

   To me copilot feels like a natural extension of vim. Vim is world class for editing code and copilot is incredible at generating code.

   I don't see how this prevents economics from taking over. If nobody bid over 12 million, thats a signal that nobody thought it was worth say 20 million. Otherwise they would have bid.

   I hope they keep a subscription to let me pay for non ad results. I'm assuming the non ad google results are still somehow influenced by how much money they make google so I wish google offered something similar

   Didn't expect to see statistical consequences of fat tails! I bought that book and it was soooooo dense. I had trouble keeping up with it even after rereading it. Its basically a textbook

   Can you share some resources or topics to research for someone who doesn't know what a weak effect or co-linearity? If I google those topics, I don't know if I'll find anything relating to a criticism of this field.

   I think your analogy of pools is spot on. The goal is to view people as different "grades" like a commodity. They aren't measuring directly for skill, instead they're measuring for the odds you match a some "grade&q

   90% of the filter is resume formatting!!!? I'm open to hear your experience but that sounds like an arbitrary filter which limits your pool more than it selects for talent

   I've heard so many good things about lisp, but unfortunately I've never had a chance to learn it. Can you share a bit on why you love it

    Not trying to be pedantic, just curious. Money isn't zero sum right? Like the U.S. Government prints it and spends it, so its not clear to me that there is a balance sheet of cash being someone elses debt. Unless its in a metaphorical

    Does anyone have tips for how to navigate new code bases faster? I feel like I would have given up reading through the code before I found the issue discussed in the article I didn't read through the code but maybe the library was smal

    I wonder if we can use "copilot-ability" as a proxy for code base complexity. In other words, if copilot can't help you write code, then could that mean your code base is too complicated for a beginner to understand and modif

    Do you not have a good experience with github copilot? I recently started using it and it will write functions that are 90% right based on comments, and I just modify what I want. I've felt at least a 2x speedup, maybe even 4x. That sa

    I interviewed there, and took a tour of their office. From what everyone said and what I saw, I don't think the handbook is outdated.

    I have been eating out and spending a lot of money lately, but then I read somewhere that $28 per day is 10k per year. So I started a budget and Starbucks was one of the first things I cut

    I don't understand how targeted ads on Grindr can be used to get peoples locations. Does the ad auction tell the users current location? Does grindr let you run your own auction bidder on your own machine?

    I think you're right, and I'd like to amend the "should always" to "after product market fit". I'm always trying to stop myself from prematurely optimizing

    Its interesting how many times they have to repeat their instructions around lyrics and recipes. To me thats a signal that even the people responsible for creating ai don't have a good solution to get the models to do what you want

    That assumes all deaths are logged. There are strong financial incentives for relatives to hide a death from the government if it means getting a check every month

    Even if they didn't profit from the ads, could they get rid of them?

    This is very interesting, but it assumes a coin is biased the same way every flip. If a coin is more likely to land on the side it starts on, then the bias can change between flips. To fix this, we just need to make sure the coin starts the

    I can write code, and if I'm told my code doesn't work, I can fix it.
