I've just interviewed for Google and Meta. In total I went through 8 individual coding interviews. With an exception of one, which was a bit too much like a puzzle, I think the assignments were completely fair examples of what I might

Given our history of creating solutions to problems and dealing with side-effects later, I'd love to first see plenty of research explaining how is this not gonna go out of hand in a few years.

It's like online voting. It works as long as the government does not have a malicious intent of staying in power indefinitely. Then the secret word list might include stuff like "free speech" or "Uighur" and the wor

Are you American? I feel like you are assuming taking extreme measures to solve US problems. Have you considered how similar measures already affect markets in other countries? ad. "not a market" - When you do that are you going t

I do not get it. Did you have to shut it down? Does not make sense to complain that someone uploaded stuff to a public unprotected writable storage. Wouldn't securing it with a set of credentials suffice?

When we have anough compute or the models get much smaller. At this point it seems wasteful to utilize gaming level GPU to decode audio stream.

Looks easy. Yet you need to write the JPG to a temp file first since applescript does not seem to be able to parse JPEG without seek(), hence no piping / streaming possible. [1] https://stackoverflow.com/a/30578

OK. I am definitely old... - I have mostly no joy playing video games anymore these days. - I found myself refusing some contemporary stuff in favour of stuff "I am used to". Damn! I was always looking at my dad, not understanding

Nice exercise. Similarly I learned most about basic computer architecture by programing 8050 in ASM as well as C. And I'm 32. Am I old yet? I'm not right? Right?

The Jetbrains ecosystem is well integrated. Kotlin is a dish best served with IDEA. There are people who do not like using it.

It's there really some reason not to generalize IPC to RPC "between processes"? To be more specific, is there really a justifiable specific of either of these applications which prevent us from having a single tool which woul

There is a process called evolution going on. It's gradual and at some point there was a first bird which had the right gene combination for us to call it a chicken. It's parents did not have this specific traits and hence it&#x27

Chicken. If we establish some trait of a chicken we could be able to trace the first bird wich had the specific gene combination and it's parents had not. Still a well defined non paradox.

Even if you put it like that, it is the egg that a chicken hatches from. The other option does not work at all.

Such a pre-Darwinian mental exercise. It's there some other common variant, which actually is undefined? Let me try - rivers or rain? - ping or pong?

Anyway "considered redundant backup not necessary for level 2 autonomy" breaks the "all Teslas now have the HW required for full autonomy" promise. They should have told customers.

Is this really the causality. Could it be the other way around? Depressed people might in time develop bowl disorders?
