Sending a valid, minimal reproduction case in the highest possible score on the take-home in my book. The take home is designed to efficiently weed out the hopelessly unqualified (of which the applicant pool is unsurprisingly over-represented). You clearly passed that test and, by asking a second time, the company saved you a bunch of further wasted time.
> As a wheelchair user, I could not help noticing that the original Bond books had, shall we say, an interesting relationship to embodied difference. It was a feature of Fleming’s writing that would be all but impossible to alter through the interventions of a sensitivity reader, hired by the publisher to make the books more palatable to contemporary readers. Fleming’s attitude to disability was encoded not only in words and phrases, but in characterisation and plot – that is, in the stories’ most fundamental qualities.

And this is precisely why the whole endeavor is so misguided! The values of the author are embedded in their stories; you can't just "fix" those stories with a few tweaks and a puff of magic smoke.

It would be much better, I'd think, to just accept the original works for what they are: the imperfect creations of complicated people.

This applies to Roald Dahl too, by the way. IMO, The Witches is an inherently mysogonistic story beyond what any number of light edits can change. That doesn't mean nobody should read it, and in fact, I think a children's book like The Witches is a great opportunity to teach kids to be critical of what they read. What does this book teach us? Which of those lessons are good, and which are not? Why?
i use transit in LA (where it's the default app for metro) and it has a huge glaring UX failure in that the departure times list at the bottom of the line details screen takes up at least a 1/3 of the screen, and when you want to see more of the map and try to push the list down, it closes the details screen. it's so frustrating, because i end up doing this 2-3 times per use, needlessly tapping back and forth. there's already a close button available so scroll to bottom to dismiss is wholly unnecessary. the departure times list wastes a ton of precious screen real estate as well - it could simply be a comma-delimited list on one line that could scroll sideways, and thus obviating the need for 1/3 of the screen for mostly whitespace.

i do like that the departure times are (slightly) more accurate because of the crowd-sourcing. however, the underlying data from metro is a mess, so they end up looking bad anyway because trains and buses still show up (or don't) unexpectedly due to metro's unreliable data.
Teachers and students are insulated from productivity
I don't know if you have to be smarter. There's just some patterns you'll probably have to unlearn.

Some people really like Rust, but I don't think it's that big of a deal if you're already using a memory safe language. If that's the case, and you don't like Rust, I'd just say to not bother with it.
"Unusual string" seems a lot more innocuous than unusual string referring to the product as another copywrited work by name which contains the same unusual string.
It seems to work around 25% of the time - seems like some mirrors have not all the files. It's quite strange that the same IP returns the file and then doesn't.

Were they actually upset? Maybe the impression that things went great was really just that the candidate was diplomatic, and they were just waiting for the next excuse to exit the process. I've had phone interviews with some really bad interviewers that should have been a sign that the company may not have been a good place to work.
Really. I used chatGPT quite a few times to summarize corporate spam emails to me.
So this now makes things deliciously ironic:

1. BS Manager jolts down a few lines then AI outputs pompous bullshit from the raw bullshit she wrote.

2. I get the bullshit email and then use AI to distill the bullshit down to the essential bullshit

Reminds me of "trap streets" on maps: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_street

>In cartography, a trap street is a fictitious entry in the form of a misrepresented street on a map, often outside the area the map nominally covers, for the purpose of "trapping" potential plagiarists of the map

I would argue this is more similar to the Polo with the ID.3 being the EV equivalent of the Golf.
The biggest issue with going to a regulated outfit is there are cameras and possibly recording of license/ID information to ensure they don't sell over 1 or 2oz limit to you.

~30-50% of people have constructive access to a firearm at home, which means you're subject to going to prison for 15 YEARS of federal prison if you have a single joint. State legal weed is a no go for me until I can hunt squirrels without going to jail for 15 years.

Hopefully someday the federal laws will be fixed to allow retail outfits to put money in the bank rather than get robbed by violent organized crime, and to remove pot users from the prohibited person list.
Hi,

Marius here - VP Engineering for Citymapper (powered by Via)

We are excited about the opportunities this creates for the product and team. We are looking forward to join an excellent tech company.
Happy to answer any questions.

And we are hiring as we are expanding our product and team. For openings to work on the Citymapper app and tech please visit https://citymapper.com/jobs or write to marius@citymapper.com
Rrrriiiight.
I recommend using the |Contact| link on this page and discussing your ideas with the moderators.

Im sometimes feel bad when people say, "wish they solved X before Y." Why should product enhancement stop because of some bug/feature request. Arent bugs given some kind of priority status?
I mean, Microsoft is not like a startup with a small team, right?
And afaik windows and MS365 teams are not even related. So we can have both things at once.
You could leave feedback, and maybe if MS deems it's what they want, probably in a future update, you will see them.
Thanks for this, good job. I always mean to do something similar but just end up bookmarking HN threads I then never look at.
This is a thing now when applying for developer jobs.

When I was looking for a job in 2020-2021, I think it happened everywhere I got past the original opening interview round.

Sometimes the task was trivial or even submitting code samples (which can be problematic if the relevant examples were done for a previous proprietary interest that would not be agreeable to share this code). Other cases were more elaborate, requiring a half-day of work or more.

In one instance, I had an assignment for a front end JS / UX page, completed the assignment then heard back from the prospective employer that according to their review of my "homework" submission, I was overqualified for the position.

I mean, you can say "no", but then in all probability the prospective employer is going to proceed to the next candidate.
The same way piracy decreases when access is easier.
Sure, go for it:)
I don't give take-home test tasks. I believe this is a waste of time for the company because it gives pretty much no useful information. A well written solution says nothing -- it could even potentially have been outsourced to somebody else. It also causes the candidate to waste as much time as possible because the candidate will feel pressed to spend every bit of time to further polish the solution.

I think if I was to refuse take-home task this would be the exact official reason: Because I believe take-home tasks are unfair and incentivise candidates to waste as much time as possible for no benefit for the company.

Instead, I do pair programming session debugging a piece of code and unit tests. It is not about the solution, it is about getting to know the candidate as he/she is working on a task.
No, but in the US you can get partial coverage by looking at PPP data (covid "loans"), which will show the bank where a PPP loan was deposited for a company that received one. Obviously this doesn't include all companies or all bank accounts of each company, and the data is limited to a snapshot of 2020.
Maybe it's not actually being requested by masses and instead just a vocal minority that you happen to be a part of? Or maybe Microsoft already calculated that fixing it won't bring much if any more money than not and therefore that it's not worth it.

Just because something that you want fixed isn't done does not mean they're "slow". If it hasn't been included after years of being "requested by masses", then it's more likely it just won't be included period.
I'd say there are only so many ways to present a text input in a modal window in a document.

Even the hands in this tweet's image are not correct. There are a bunch with 4 digits, two thumbs, 6 fingers, fingers splayed in anatomically improbable directions. Not to mention there are probably two hundred and fifty hands in this photo (not the very explicit "one hundred" mentioned in the tweet).

What is with these types of AI booster tweets? Nobody bothers to even check if it shows what they're implying it shows?
This is my understanding too. Is it possible to use an fpga without built in diff pairs and serdes, and use the io's that are built with a suitable high speed clock domain for a "diy" differential pair? Maybe not as fast, but still faster than any other io on the fpga?
Isn't proofreading one of those low-hanging fruits, one of those those easy and mundane tasks at which AI excels?
It really is a great printer.
Congrats Marius, and everyone else at CM!
>> Most environmental action being taken out seems to be exclusively acts of religious-like penance.

> There's a much simpler explanation: people are worried about the environment and global warming, so they are willing to try out a lot of different things that they think might help, but lo and behold, it turns out that some of those things actually help and others turn out not to...

It's not one or the other, it's both.

There's also the factor that people are more comfortable with changes that inconvenience others, but don't inconvenience them much; so there's often a major lack of consideration and empathy with the proposals. Couple that with religion-like moral urgency, and you get a lot of unnecessary conflict.
Yeah if the string is something like "I sidewndr46 am the copyright holder for this software", I can't really see how it would be possible for a vendor to say they just happened to put that in their own independently created product.
I am going to ask my accountant why she dose not have a “automatic calculator not used” badge.
When my RSS reader shows me an arXiv paper about ML with ‘fair’ in the title I hit the reject button. What is ‘fair’ is subjective and what I want is a feed relevant to my interests (also subjective.)

This is 2023 and text classification problems that I struggled with at a startup 5 years ago are now easy and the power of transformer models is obscured by the ChatGPT hype. It is time that we turn our back in the collaborative filtering algorithms that made social media a hellscape and embrace content-based filtering.

I have a model that predicts if an article will front page or get a high ratio of comments/votes. It has a terrible ROCAUC because it is such a fuzzy problem but it is well calibrated and just today my RSS reader told me a story I thought was a nothingburger would succeed on both metrics and… It did!

I did make an attempt to take into account the factors you’re concerned about and I was surprised that the AUC didn’t go up. Probably I did it wrong though.

Look up my profile, I’d love to chat about it.
Ask HN: Is anyone using nocode/lowcode solutions like Hasura on a large scale?
Which one did you use? I was evaluating Hasura vs Dgraph.

What are your observations? How was your experience?
Would you use them again for another product?
How to turn it on? I do not see it in the Microsoft Word for example.
Thank you.

llama.exe is basically main.exe?

I actually learned how to compile this code via CMake/VS2019. It's sure a whole lot more complicated then it was 25 years ago when I was writing C.

That’s a really interesting thought, thanks.
Call it what you will, I care not. It is an opportunity cost you pay in the end.
Is there a whistle-blower site that compiles apparent open source license breaches?
There are two significant games I just found out about by looking at this list:

- https://store.steampowered.com/app/2198150/Tiny_Glade/ which looks AMAZING

- https://veloren.net/ which looks really cool

Good to know there are some legit non-toy things being made. I remember back in the mid 2000s pretty much the only thing you could play on Linux was TuxRacer, and the state of Rust game development (right now) kinda reminds me of that period.

Then steam happened and now I can play Civilization: Beyond Earth all I please!
Not a customer and their access agreement isn't public, but terminating a contract in retribution for redistributing their patch would be a violation of the GPL's "no further restrictions" clause and thus they would be in breach. If they're pulling a stunt like that somebody with big enough pockets only needs to file a lawsuit.
It's the old story, you only get promoted shipping new stuff, maintenance is where careers go to die in the eyes of these companies.

Not to detract from the message or discourage anyone from writing, but if you're looking to reproduce the specific career arc mentioned in the article it may be helpful to keep in mind that Lena Dunham started her career with well-connected parents and at least a modest amount of family wealth.
> If you request a bot to write code that can accomplish a specified task, it needs to understand the task

No, it doesn't. It may simply be a coincidence. For example, I can write a bot that always outputs print('hello world'), and then ask it to write a hello world program in Python.

Comparisons to ELIZA aren't naive. They underscore the fact that more complex models of the same kind as GPT-3 use the same matching approach, they just have a bigger database of matches with more complex rules. They don't derive their answers from first principles. They don't have anything like more abstract concepts or models in any useful form. Which was the goal of AI all along! The AI was the search for these models and concepts, so that we could automatically establish the truth of questions nobody knows the answer to. Models like GPT-3 don't know, and cannot possibly search for the answer to the questions nobody knows the answer to because they are aggregators of existing knowledge.

> Too many philosophers waste time debating

I bet you aren't one of them though.
Company hits small SaaS with $3250 chargeback because they “forgot to cancel”
I'm no expert but FWIW, I find thinking about it as a resistance is unhelpful. It's much closer to a sort of "resonance coefficient". Sure it's measured in ohms but a 50 ohm cable will not "resist" the flow of signal like a 50 ohm resistor because a resistor is a load (can simulate an antenna) while the cable is just resonant with the load. What makes a given line/cable "50 ohm" is largely capacitance driven because it needs to be resonant with a 50 ohm load at one end and a 50 ohm source at the other.

I find amateur radio literature to be pretty good for this kind of stuff. It's a very central issue to them.
Or literally any city at 2 AM on Saturday/Sunday
I don't think you need to be smarter, but coming from something like C#, there are some different ways of thinking that you'll need to learn. In addition to the memory management stuff, there are a number of things borrowed from the ML language family. Since you mention docs and syntax, those are more likely the things tripping you up.

You're probably capable of understanding these things, but there is a definite learning curve.
Where are you driving where you need an AWD vehicle?
Don't see why not - police rely on fingerprints to track theft right? Not much different conceptually.
At least the yearly perf review at Microsoft is going to get easier since you just toss all your notes about what you did for the year to Copilot and have it write your summary. Your manager can do the same thing for their notes about you and compare.
You're not adding anything to this debate- studies already do this (and budget for it). Lightweight genetic testing like this is far cheaper in bulk and the scientists and doctors running the study are likely going ot want that data, so I don't see any problem there.

As for bias and people not consenting to hand over their DNA: this is not a scientific problem, it's a social one.
I'm in fact surprised that any such apps were allowed in the first place. Every time I see one of these articles I'm surprised for the exact same reason.
they are hiring them as a contractor __for free__ , but just not telling them they are writing their production code prototypes for free while interviewing.
What are you even talking about?! Nobody is talking about banning livestock production. The netherlands could literally reduce the amount of livestock in the country by 50% and still produce more meat and milk than is consumed by Dutch society, in fact we would have plenty over for export. The only reason people want to hold this legislation up is for their own monetary gains.
I'm curious if you've asked your family members whether they're ok with having photos of themselves being used to train Amazon's facial recognition model? I know it's a common practice and Amazon isn't alone, yet I feel people should be more aware of what's happening.
That's because "handmade" was a proxy for "high quality", in situations where machines lack the skill to meet tolerances and fine details and customization that humans can.
Google Fi testing 7-day trial with eSIM, free data, and hot spot
It sounds like it is working for that company so more power to them I suppose, and I've certainly done my fair share of coding tests and take home assignments, however I consider it personally disrespectful to automate the initial interview round in this way. If you're asking me to put in work, even if it's an ostensibly short task, I want to talk to someone first.
> I'm almost certain that many, many times in history we've been afraid of new things and change, internet, tv, planes, tractors etc.

History is an ongoing process, we might very well deem internet and planes a net negative in the future.

By your logic everything new is "progress" and desirable, who says we won't look back at cars and other internal combustion engine vehicles as the biggest mistake ever
> I don't remember seeing people calling out "genocide!" in any of the war campaigns of the United States (Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc)

That proves you weren't paying attention. I don't agree that those wars were genocides, but there absolutely were many anti-war protestors who asserted exactly that.
This sounds like it perhaps phase II didn't go as well as you thought it did.
I'm sorry, but glasses style augmented reality is already possible. 50 years is even too long of a time span for when AR glasses are attractive enough to the general public enough to reach >1B users.
I didn't even connect the domain to game development at all until I followed the link. I interpreted "game" as slang, as in "are we ready for the big time yet?"

My cultural bias is showing.
I see that you are rather small team, do you have your own servers (bare metal at some data center) or are you cloud based?

yeah a lot of the self help industry is built on shaming and shoulds. We "should" excercise for 60 minutes a day, meditate for 30-60 minutes, go for a walk after meals, work on career, our brand, our hobbies, our business, read a book for 30 minutes.

Like Oliver Burkemann said, most of these producutivity articles are written by and for 20 year old kids with no family, no responsibility; and the rest of us are shamed if we dont meet these impossible standards.
Yes, looks great, especially the platform. My first thought is that I'd want to use the platform to build a sportscar or track car...
Isn't the "no such thing as an original idea" point more about there being so many people alive now that one cannot think of anything that somebody else hasn't though of as well?

So many advancements (like the airplane) often get invented simultaneously by different people in completely different areas of the globe without any connection to each other.
If you'd like to be this pedantic, the point at which a curve turns from linear to exponential can reasonably be described as an inflection point.
Importantly, I'm in the US. The most common EVs on the road here are crossovers, the most common vehicles on dealer lots (EV or not) are crossovers and SUVs. Small cars are very hard to find, small cars with AWD nearly impossible. My daily driver vehicle (Scion iQ) is the smallest production car in the US in the last 20 years, no longer sold here, and was originally designed for the EU market in the "city car" segment, a segment which basically does not exist in the US.

Please point to a small, AWD, electric car I can buy in the US that isn't a Tesla (shit build quality).
This seems most likely.

Also, why would you do a round table before a take home? Do you not value the time of your people?
I feel uncomfortable about this.

While it is not a practical obstacle for me to pay them with a card, I don't want to live in a world where electronic payments are necessary.
