I think it's a little different across sects, but I grew up around a lot of baptists and the line was that anyone who asks was forgiven at any point, so I think this falls into the…

This is not true. This is your only comment. Did you create this account just to spread misinformation?

I think I understand, so you basically need in your training set anything that the production model would presumably see for it to work well? You can't just say here are a bunch of…

Not an ML person, but I generally understand the concept. Why do you care about ceilings here? I get that the camera is pointed weird ways, but if you're trying to detect nudity pr…

"But does your social circle not include other female friends that you could discuss the optics of this situation with?" Respectfully, this shouldn't be on the person from whom adv…

I'm objectively very high performing at aerobic exercise, since high school and have kept it up. I have seen quantitatively higher performance when taking 3-5 mg/kg of caffeine bef…

When the last time _my_ tweet reached millions of users is not the right question. We see that daily tweets go viral and are seen by millions, some things are seen by a billion peo…

This is a really good read. I absolutely love the entire Culture series.

I read the article. It sounds more like practically everyone is stuck in a steady state of believing the same "tells" like fidgeting, averting gaze, and stuttering they have been t…

Filezilla has been like this for years assuming you downloaded the regular version. There's a no-adware version, but it's kinda hidden.

Specifically I don't hire entry level people, so that hasn't been an issue. But if I did, I would likely look at projects and such, general aptitude, etc. because that's all there …

I don't get the impression that several hundred/thousand individuals had anything to do with this being solved by this person, except perhaps by virtue of not solving it and thereb…

I don't even care about the cost. I would pay a premium for the non-closed garden phone if it had apps and support. I would happily pay $1,500 for a Pinephone or similar with capab…

I don't discriminate in favor of or against any particular group and am not a parent myself, though I have parents. I do recognize that many parents are often particularly overwork…

Oh sure, sorry I should have clarified, I was talking about software development. I thought that was implied, but happy to be explicit.

It takes more than five minutes to review code, especially when it's of a volume you describe. You're also really trying to replace the metrics against which a company measures can…

We don't ignore them completely, we just weight them very, very low, as I've indicated. They do provide context. Your phrasing "chose to have kids" betrays some of your underlying …

We look at CV and then have an interview process. We don't do proctored timed interview coding questions in the usual sense, though we may walk through code. I understand the reluc…

All skills to take time to develop, well said. I am confident that looking at how a candidate interviews will no doubt show the fruits of that time spent without weighting too much…

That's wonderful! You sound like a very driven person to be able to do all of that. Of course, your experience and ability shouldn't be considered the norm with everyone or expecte…

I trust that all that practice would make someone interview really well, no need to look at how much practice they've had as a metric.

Yes it can tell a lot about people who have the bandwidth to be able to be able to contribute to such. Others may and do have the same level of skill but didn't have the bandwidth …

Taking that a step further, we often actively discourage looking at OSS contributions during resume review for the same reason we don't offer take home interview assignments: it's …

Partially a percentage of badness fits into the equation too, though. It's not as reducible as you're implying. Facebook, as much as I dislike it, is mostly people sharing memes an…

Same experience here. I've really, really wanted to like Mastodon but feel like it's all just random toots. And then if I click the wrong button it is random toots in Mandarin!
