My experience as well, both at Google and Meta. Very positive and well-organized. I also got feedback from the recruiter on each interviews.

I would start by question the premises. America is rich, but there are high inequalities and harsh conditions for a lot of people.

What a generalization!! plenty of religious people are sad, not all of them are particularly frugal, and not all atheists think of buying toys. Also the US is a very religious country compared to western or northern Europe where people aren

You can still have fun with your side projects. AI helps, but if you want to build something nice, you still need to provide most of the intellectual input, while AI can help with the more tedious things. I have a personal project that I ab

Many of these laws are trade-offs to be assessed on a case by case basis. Everybody has a different subjective view and you need to be willing to compromise otherwise you'll be very sad working with other people.

Correct me if I'm wrong but for Meta/Google, past layoffs in France, Germany, Netherlands were done on a voluntary basis. It also took many months between the announcement and the actual layoff and the severance was competitive. O

People are always keen on criticizing the EU and their regulations, but employees in EU are protected from these kinds of stunts. And also from the upcoming (rumored) layoffs which won't be nearly as cruel.

I suspect most employees know better, but Meta pays very well and they just want to maximize their salary and their tenure in the company. Also it seems Zuckerberg has became more creepy lately, very much in phase with the current Zeigweist

I wonder if people who weren't very good at school feel vindicated by AI, while the most successful ones are threatened.

I don't know if Elon is a Nazi, but given who he support, some of his statements, and how explicit was this gesture, I don't think it's just an awkward coincidence. At the very least, he wanted to create some buzz which he pr

It's not because you've found an Iranian that wants their country destroyed that this is the right thing to do. All military experts agree that bombing a country isn't going to trigger a regime change, and it hasn't so f

Yes, many Iranians want regime change, but that's not going to happen by bombing everything in the country, and Trump isn't willing to send troops. I'm not sure what your point is actually.

TACO fortunately. Let's hope this is resolved. Question: what are Trump next plans, who is he going to harass now? he seems to go crescendo in the craziness. Maybe he'll calm down a bit before the mid-terms though.

> They wanted trump to go further and destroy the regime. Did they also want Trump to destroy the whole civilization and have the country back to stone age like he claimed he would do?

It's primarily a movie about fascism and propaganda. The fact that most viewers missed it is actually concerning.

I watched this movie as a teenager and I did miss the satire (although I could see something was off and there was a message beyond the action). It's a bit the opposite of "don't look up" in that sense that the message i

> the API of the classes should be clean That's an issue I have with Claude actually. I found it very good at breaking abstractions to get the job done. This is what I'd call slope (more so than the class internals).

I've been in that situation. What broke was that nobody had the skills to coordinate and to ramp up all these new joiners. And the hiring didn't anticipate that this would be a problem. Eventually, things went better when they fou

Why not? Claude is a male name, and the model behaves close enough to a human that I think it's fine to refer to it as a he or a she. Also note that some languages don't have neutral pronouns and it's perfectly fine to say a
