Post your blind username. I'll message you morning time EST with receipts.

I'm a staff level SWE at a company that you've all heard of (not a flex, just providing context). If my manager said to me tomorrow: "I have to either get rid of one of your cowork…

They're not obligated to enforce the non-compete. If you don't have any sensitive information to take to a competitor, they might not give you any garden leave. OTOH, I've seen non…

No. Getting worse with time as well. I recently decided to double up on my Vyvanse dose (without telling my doctor), and that was effective. For a day.

It's Google. Assume the training set contains, as a subset, the entirety of all public digitized information. How would you like to them to share it?

I think the big picture that many people are missing here is the motivation that all these AI/tech companies have for buying up so many GPU's in the first place: achieving AGI/ASI.…

Tech market is rough. I think BigTech currently thinks that there's a better ROI spending $300k on compute (training an LLM) than $300k on an employee. All the startups I've interv…

My thoughts from ~ 6 weeks ago: >> This is the toughest market I've ever seen. I easily made it to on-sites at FAANG a few years ago and now I'm getting resume rejected by no-name …

Noble != Nobel

Tobacco is addictive, nicotine alone without MAOIs is not nearly as addictive.

Sorry, you're right. I made up those numbers based on data suggesting a pareto distribution of matches. I also didn't intend to imply that I'm somehow in the top 10% of objective a…

Probably because they're not letting me bang them out of politeness.

I'll chime in as somebody who's been considered top 10% of attractiveness in one country and bottom 50% in another - the difference in the amount of sexual opportunities on apps is…

Become a contractor. Work 1-2 months/year and spend the rest of the year doing what you want.

I'm chronically ill with an idiopathic incurable condition. I started coding out of necessity - my first program was a script that crawled Pubmed and analyzed what drugs were most …

I worked a TON of overtime last quarter and I'm not going to make that same mistake again. If I work over 40 hours a week, that time is going to be devoted to prepping algorithm an…

> offensive and misguided The data is the data. The data isn't suggesting that "having more black people in your neighbourhood will depress housing prices." That's your take on wha…

Damn, what an incredibly poorly executed plug. Could you at least try to be sly?

If interviews started testing for OS fundamentals, then people would just switch to prepping for those instead.

Seems like a standard interview imo. Security engineers would be the last group of people that I would try to screw over.
