Completely agree. I don't know Hinge but I've had good success with OkCupid (and met my partner). It required more thoughts and effort to make the profile, but it was a much more joyful experience than the countless hours spent ma

If some places need to change their interview practices, I think it means they've been doing it wrong all this time. You ask them to write some code, then to explain and justify it. Whether or not it has been mostly written by an LLM r

Really love the tone! I can imagine that the ones calling for layoffs have always been the stingy kind. They just have a better case now... Execs are just obeying whomever has the strongest voice to ensure their outrageous pays remain uncha

If they are sure, they are wrong. Spain and Sweden retire at the same age. Italy, Greece, Denmark and Norway as well. [1] Yes, France retires at 62 but that'll change very soon... Writing that the "north pays for the south" b

We should just invade Monaco and redistribute the wealth parked in it. And while we're at it, follow up with Andorra, Jersey and Luxembourg. Because we're not barbarians, we may tolerate that they don't eat croissants for bre

Interesting thought. But what makes you think that it won't be good enough for the majority of people? To some extent, online-only bootcamps are already good enough for a large crowd of devs, while others went to universities and labs

Very cool idea. That'd be a good way to see how it can generalize, actually. I suspect you'd quickly find its limits with something that isn't a toy example of an intro to machine learning.
