traffic in LA never got back to pre-pandemic levels, maybe during the Olympics it will other than that after 9pm until 6am there's no one on the road, which is horrible for Ridesharing drivers, the demand is less and being taken by Way

they are building a product and said the unit economics must make sense, local models have slower latency, unless you run a gpu on for hours which gets expensive fast

no I will not replace mega app with platform, WeChat app is totally different from the App Store. In and Out has 5 menu items, similar to an app made in the USA, not too many features A Chinese market can list 50 items similar to WeChat tha

the webview messes up tokens and passwords managers so I don't see this happening. The US is too culturally different to have mega apps. In Asia their supermarkets also have a lot of information in the menu for example.

I would test if the new features work and if there is any regressions around critical business functions and merge it, if my manual tests pass.

I did this with youtube for a while but I have to swallow my pride, (AI thumbnail, engagement bait title, AI voice narration) is better than pure loom-like organic video for ads

if it works 90% of the time that means it fails 10% of the time, to get to 1% failure rate is a 10x improvement and from 1% failure rate to a 0.1% failure rate is also a 10x improvement First time being hearing it be called "march of n

I still spend my evening hours like that and do ai-assisted coding in the background

Thats why it won over the more popular Angular 1 at the time. Angular was introducing directives as a new way to handle dependencies, React chose to stay close to the new ES6 syntax with imports, of course I was going to chose the language

it can't put two images of people together in one photo, this model still has the issue, also, I have seen cases where Flux Kontext works better in things like removing objects

no joke, stop pretending like you know the answer to every LeetCode question that utilizes Euclidean distance

by ojr 1y ago
The foundation, like every LeetCode problem, is a basic high school math problem, when the foundation of the problem is trigonometry, way harder than stack, arrays, linked list, bfs, dfs...

true, I am thinking, Node and neighbors, this is a heap problem, it actually does matter what algorithm you use, I learn that the hard way today, trying to implement quickselect vs using a heap library (I didn't know you could do that)

there's a youtube channel made by a meta engineer, he said to memorize the top 75 LeetCode Meta questions and approaches. He doesn't say fluff like "recognize patterns. My interviewer was 3.88/4 GPA masters Comp Sci guy

K closest points using Euclidean distance and a heap, is not 8th grade math, although any 8th grade math problem can be transformed into a difficult "adult" question. Sums are elementary, asking to find a window of prefix sums tha

Using a heap in 10 minutes, the Euclidean distance formula was given and had to be used in the answer; maybe they thought that was the question?
81.
by ojr 1y ago
its not a nearest neighbor problem that is incorrect, they expect candidates to have the heap solution on the first go, you have 10-15 minutes to answer, no time to optimize, cheaters get blacklisted, welcome to the new reality

it wasn't just euclidean distance of course, it was this leetcode problem k closest points to origin https://leetcode.com/problems/k-closest-points-to-origin/des... , I thought if I needed a heap I would have

I just did a phone screen with Meta, and the interviewer asked for Euclidean distance between two points; they definitely have some nerds in the building.

To clarify, not talking about why it was changed but why it was changed to the name “Meta”

After the scandal… Why did he choose the word “Meta” over the million other possibilities? Its because he thought the metaverse had a great future.

for the amount of money they are giving that is relatively easy, normal people are paid way less in harder jobs, for example, working in an Amazon Warehouse or doing door-to-door sales, etc.

The company name was changed from Facebook to Meta because Mark thought the metaverse was inevitable, it's ironic that you use a quote from him

Technical interviews and answering system design questions do not prove you can code. This is for a founding engineer position. When I started in the industry in 2014, I had to explain the architecture decisions of my side projects. Now peo

you wouldn't and he wouldn't get past me, lots of devs don't have personal projects? That is a good filter, give me the ones with higher agency that do. Maybe my standards are too high. I usually contribute the most lines at
