The only reason you continue to do it despite the inevitable price you have to pay is because it alters your mood positively in the short term. You have two problems: 1. Desire for instant gratification 2. Lack of other things that alter yo

I don’t agree with you, only a depressed person could come up with that logic. If you’re depressed, of course you should try to be happy. Are you going to try to be sad instead? That’s only going to exacerbate the problem. Changing your sel

That’s a good comparison. This would be the social analog of hello world. And what you’re saying is that the next step is to learn how to also use cin instead of just cout.

When I initially saw the title of this post and thought about my struggles making friends earlier, I could think of so many things that I’ve learned that work. But I developed all those learnings and skills through self-reflection once I wa

Not sure who needs to hear this but step 1 in making more friends: Talk to more people. By that, I don’t even mean have more friendly conversations with people. Just literally say more words to more people. It can be talking shop or exchang

Because you often only get to join these companies if you’re passionate about your field of work. You can’t force a programmer to find meaning in rock climbing (for example). You might propose working on your passion for programming outside

The greatest trick they pulled is convincing people like you that you have no personal autonomy. It’s one thing to show you stimulating content once you open the app but it’s a whole another level of self-deception to convince yourself that

Interviewing (or any selection process for that matter) is a highly subjective and noisy process. I’ve been accepted and rejected at FAANGs / startups / top schools. I’ve succeeded wildly at each one. I’ve had the same academic p

Even if it wouldn't help in this exact situation, it should be a pre-requisite for any such tournaments just in case. It is an incredibly unsafe robot, but if the chess federation outlined the risks, who is at fault?

Yes, or the parents who let them play against it.

Yea it is a very poorly designed chess robot but if they were going to use it in a competition like this, they should have at least briefed the users appropriately. Or maybe they did brief them appropriately but the child make a mistake. Th

You can always design something to be better but part of interacting with a machine is not assuming that it will do the safe thing 100% of the time and acting appropriately. If you're driving a car and it hydroplanes, is it the car&#x2

I was around some people who have been immensely successful in Silicon Valley (think founders of $X B companies) and they all seemed to have one thing in common. They had no qualms about blatantly ignoring a person talking to them. Or walki

Spot on. Shocking that the bar for CEO of a public company is so hilariously low.

Good to know that you don’t really need much intelligence to be a founder/CEO of a unicorn company, just luck and a ton of unearned confidence. Sure the initial petition is somewhat dumb but the fact that the CEO is so proud of his res

The tweet is wrong and this is important. There’s a difference between DALL-E and DALL-E 2. This phenomenon is intuitive if you know how diffusion models work (DALL-E 2) 1. Tokenized text embeddings can map to similar points in latent space
