> If the interview for a coding job doesn’t involve actual coding, how do you know that the candidate can code? LeetCode problems seldom resemble real-life coding scenarios, which …

As long as you don’t wake me at 3AM to rotate a red-black tree, or find the median of two sorted arrays we should be good

I have always seen LeetCode problems as effectively hazing rituals in a job interview setting. A high pressure interview situation simply won’t bring out peak problem-solving capab…

How would changing the mechanics of grading affect graduate readiness for jobs? I think two separate ideas are being conflated. Whether or not someone gets an A or a C in a course …

In a just society this would be considered extortion

In terms of raw output, the answer is likely no. However, this might not matter as much now as it did in the past due to nuclear weapons being the primary deterrent in war these da…

Others may not necessarily agree, but at least anecdotally, a sizeable portion of drivers I see make all kinds of mistakes (law of averages dictates more of them are so called "neu…

If I am reading this correctly then I think it is simply preventing the companies that buy ads on Meta from using Meta’s own generative AI features to make certain types of ads. It…

I would imagine they did lobby against this, likely fighting tooth and nail legally. However I do not think the EU is as easily swayed, especially as EU regulators are generally sk…

In theory this is beneficial as it helps fund the ICANN and keep it independent. But the reality is that these are effectively money printing machines, effectively out of reach for…

Wouldn't having a demonstrably false accuracy rate, but simultaneously claiming to be 99% accurate in all circumstances constitute making knowingly false statements, and perhaps ev…

I personally hope this will be the course of action we see being taken against these AI detector services. It is well-known to many that these are essentially snake oil salesmen, a…

It all comes down to available resources. It takes capital and motivated founders to create new vet clinics. Few will want to spread themselves thin enough to cover many clinics un…

This study seems inherently flawed to me, how are you isolating what is happening while simultaneously administering other brain—chemistry altering drugs to the patient? These pati…

Auber instruments makes a PID integration kit for the gaggia classic / classic pro. It also gives you a pre infusion cycle as well.

This doesn't work, when we tried this most recently all it did was increase stock buybacks by large corps. It's just effectively a wealth transfer to those already at the top of th…

Can only speculate -- but perhaps they continually train some spam detecting ML model and swap them out every few weeks. Wondering if there are some hidden regressions or something…
