This exactly.

Before the pandemic the team I was in used to conduct interviews in person. We'd give people a sheet of paper with a bunch of questions that they had to answer. No leetcode type stuff. Just basics.

With that we had one person cheat with a phone.

Doing remote interviews from then on we saw at least one person who was very probably cheating. They would get an answer, pause, then give a response, but then when we asked follow up questions they would seem not to understand their previous answer. They also had 'Audio Visual Issues' at the start of the interview. We figured they had someone else listening in on the interview and giving them answers. No AI needed.

One of the worrying things was that they did it fairly badly, had they done it well we probably could not have detected it.

Perhaps the ideal interview now would be one in person with a computer that wasn't connected to the internet where you told a candidate exactly what tools and references they would have and then gave them a coding problem.

For these jobs they were pretty heavily cloud related and also showed another probable problem, people are getting other people to get their certifications for them. If you have an AWS Associate Level cert you should be able to explain what S3 is without blinking.
I, too, am not a fan of their paid API changes, but you can configure your purple air to send the data to any URL you'd like. I have an endpoint that parses the payload and sends the pm25 and temperature to home assistant.

That said, I have definitely considered an airgradient and the esphome firmware.
This + show me tools you are using. Like show me how you use copilot or even what you would search on stackoverflow for.

A surprising number of candidates would fail even the "I can use my own IDE" part of this exercise. It is still the same thing after all - show me what you have in your toolbox and how well you can use those tools.

The big reason is that when push comes to shove, most of these people don't have any principles.

Sure, if they are in a position of power they will wield it how they want. When he caused the whole fiasco, he probably thought it was going to work.

But if the choice is between losing the position of influence, or deciding between what position of influence to accept next, well you'll see that the principles are very flexible.

We already saw this happen with a few of the "safety" researchers that got fired from OpenAI, and yet started working on X AI (I think?), which is definitely not know for "safety".
If any regulator acts it will be the EU. The action, if it comes, will of course be very late, possibly years from now, when the horse has long left the stable.
I’m guessing they closed because there was no Kroketten
Some people freeze during interviews, like complete mental shutdown. And it's a downward spiral, once you start freezing it gets worse and then even simple questions become impossible.
That, or you were dealing with professional liars.
Good point, the cadence and intonation can feel unnatural.

I still believe that voice user interface is one of the more power and profound shifts these tools offer. They’re among the first generation of technologies that can parse human speech, follow commands, and if desired respond with speech. Those capabilities are more powerful when coupled with the ability to compress vast amounts of knowledge and generalize.

Like anything, LLMs and multi-modal models are far from perfect and raise many ethical and philosophical concerns. I’m cautiously optimistic as I believe voice interaction can make technology much more widely accessible and helpful to many people.

We could potentially have the kernel group these heuristics to a process or process group, since there's no real reason to live in the network stack and have its context restricted to a single connection. Like, if most packets on a system are being generated by a few nginx processes, and most of them seem to be tiny (or are on a losing streak for any other kind of bet), enable Nagle's (or any other relevant optimization) for any connections those nginx processes create?
Post seems more of a marketing for UltraCode than establishing the connection between AI and Interviews getting harder. Even before AI there were instances where Leetcode Hard questions were asked in interviews that are highly unlikely to solve in 30 mins, unless seen that Q before.

I'd suspect that this was a troll except that it's an account that's been around for a while and a lot of people actually do think this way.

If it makes you feel any better though I'm unconvinced that mass spamming applications is actually very effective though it does carry collateral damage.

I did take several courses in ethics. I internalized several key lessons.

1. People who stand up for what’s right get fired and blacklisted. Perhaps killed.

2. People who get caught get second chances or never even lose their ill gotten gains. Enron fraudsters have rebuilt their wealth becoming new executives and public speakers on ethics. This is in addition to any wealth they hid away. Boeing has killed many people before the 737 max for similar sloppiness. It didn’t matter then either.

3. Low level fraud virtually never gets prosecuted, yet alone unethical behaviour. We had plenty of cases where we studied some embezzler who got fired. The penalty for ill gotten millions is being fired? That’s just the day in the life of an employee in the world of regular layoffs.

Here’s the problem with every ethics class I have taken. Who won in the end except in the most extreme cases (Madoff)? Usually the crook.
> skipping the nonsense of point 1. Please respect the time of the people that are interviewing and don't push your "innovative" ideas about interviewing on them. You are interviewing, not doing experiments.

I have to admit I have no idea what you're complaining about. I've never treated the interviewees like they were experiment subjects and I don't see where you are reading that in “point 1”…

All I'm saying in the first bullet point is that weather you like them or not, these tools are here to stay if they improve developers productivity and it would make no sense not to take the mastery of a tool as an asset when evaluating a candidate (like if someone is showing that they are proficient with git or a debugger during the interview question, that's a good thing, if they show they are proficient with Copilot or whatever AI-based tool then it's also a valuable skill that you should have in mind when making your evaluation. That's it. There's nothing here about making people lose their time, experimenting with them or whatever.

Which probably means:

1. You will not be able to watch any of these networks on any device other than your cable-connected television.

2. Every movie will be PPV.

3. To get the "deal" you'll first need to subscribe to the CBN, WWF, Nickelodeon, Bowling Network and HSN 1/2/3 bundle along with land line service for the low cost of $79/mo.

4. Your bill will now include a new "negotiation fee" for paying the lawyers who put this deal together, whether you subscribe to this set of services or not.

5. Then, Disney+ will also include CBN, WWF and Nickelodeon, and HULU will include Peacock and then Disney+ will include HULU, and Apple TV+ will buy Peacock and subsume all their content... and then Max will include Apple TV+... and you'll end up getting these services from 4 different providers, each at a "vastly reduced price", but the overall cost will exceed the original service subscription fee.

PS. Please don't give me "strongtowns" links claiming that suburbs cost the city more, because it's not actually true.

They should rename themselves "Strong Towns Weak County" to be more accurate with their mission statment. (One of their delcared goals is less interstates.)
What is he doing that seems wrong, or immoral?

Genuine question.
My understanding is that the PCIe expansion is being used for the HAT+ only works for one disk peripheral if it's being used for booting the OS.

For example, since for HAT+ you can have a maximum 2 stacks of HAT+ boards expansion. Let's say you have one M.2 HAT+ and another is GbE board available from PineBerry [1]. The new additional GbE port on the HAT+ (not the original on-board GbE on the RPi 5) will interfere with the M.2 disk on the HAT+ if it's being used for booting.

[1] PineBerry Pi launches five additional HAT+ boards for the Raspberry Pi 5 with 2.5GbE, GbE, M.2 NVMe, and more:

How do I find things. I'm already living life without much google in it. There are a lot of ways to find things. Aggregators like this one have a better signal to noise ratio than google or most places that publish a lot of information. There are search engines that actively blacklist anything with SEO in it. There are community groups that focus on topics of interest. I find that I only use big search engines nowadays to find a git repo for something or find out what time some place closes, that's all they're good for nowadays. I trust people more than faceless services, and I don't care anything about who any of those people are in real life.
> That sounds a lot harder to prove than if they were going for negligence.

Well, it was solid enough that Boeing was willing to pay $2.5 billion plus accept a bunch of behavioral controls not to settle the charges, but simply to get a deferred prosecution agreement in which, if they were really good, they wouldn’t have to face charges for it.

The best place, to me, was the largest remnant of this plateau that dates from the Tertiary age. It’s kind of rolling country, not flat, and when you get to the edge of it you find these ravines that cut very steeply in to cliff-like drop-offs and there was even a waterfall there... That summer there were too many people around my cabin so I decided I needed some peace. I went back to the plateau and when I got there I found they had put a road right through the middle of it... You just can’t imagine how upset I was.

I am pretty selfish even though I haven't had a car for years...

That said, as a regular user of public transport in two Czech cities that have excellent and well-funded public transport (Prague and Ostrava), you probably don't realize many of the downsides.

Public transport works best for mass movements of people from point A to point B. E.g. young students going from dormitories to lectures at 8 AM, or many people traveling from a big residential neighbourhood to an industrial plant that employs them. The student thing is still real, the industrial plant isn't anymore. When I was a kid in the 1980s, full buses of workers went to steelworks at the outskirts of Ostrava, nowadays these are either gone, or have automatized to the degree that they employ 5 per cent of the people as before.

There is a lot of tangential relations that public transport doesn't service well. A teacher I know teaches in one village and lives in another. By car, that is 15 minutes. By public transport, some 90 and the route is physically almost three times as long. So selfish of her not to take it, eh! /s

And I can already hear all the good advice: she should "just" find a job closer to her home. Not easy if schools are closing down for lack of kids, and she is a specialist (singing).

Or: the public transport authority should "just" introduce more buses, even if they are inefficient in certain routes. It should "just" pay bus drivers much more to attract some (there is a shortage). Not easy if already a third of the municipal budget goes towards public transport, taxes in CZ are not exactly low and the population is growing older, thus losing its tax base. The costs are very real and a small country with an expensive healthcare system, an expensive pension system and now threatened with Russia cannot really shower much more money on everything at once.

Public transport may yet gain some strength from fully autonomous driving, IF it is ever solved. Unwillingness of people to get into the driver career (the money isn't that bad, but getting up at 4 am and being responsible for dozens of human lives on board are two major negative factors) is a big factor in its overall economy.

But it is, at best, a significant help. Not a panacea. Our lives have grown too disorganized for that. Gone are the days when everyone started their work at 6 am at the sound of the factory whistle and lived in the same worker's colony. (Some of which are still extant here in Ostrava, and now protected as cultural heritage.)
I take it you live in an area with good public transportation, or maybe you work from home and have shops within cycling distance of where you live.

Workers need to get to work, and there are tradeoffs. Unless you want your local sewage treatment plant, the fat rendering factory, or the refuse landfill within walking distance of your house.
Yes, and then you need a UI and a dashboard and an alarm system and a policy deployment manager and a ...

You can get 8bit analog signal resolution reasonablyish easyish. The Hagen mode [1] of BrainScaleS [2] is essentially that. But.. yeah. No way in hell you are getting more than 16bit with that kind of technology, let alone more.

And those things are huge which lead to very small network sizes. This is partially due to the fabrication node, but also simply because there is even less well developed tooling for analog circuits compared to digital ones compared to software compilers

> The LCOE of nuclear power is ~5x solar and wind.

Only if you do something insane like the infamous Lazard study that was used to come to this "conclusion": they took a single power plant and used that as "the cost of nuclear".

That alone is enough to disqualify those numbers, but it gets worse. As their one single data point for nuclear, they didn't pick a random sample, but instead they hand-picked the most expensive commercial nuclear power plant in the world: Vogtle-3. That one screwup is their entire dataset for nuclear.

And of course LCOE doesn't actually cover the full cost. When you look at system cost, the renewable get even worse, at least when you try to 100% renewable. As you approach 100% renewables, the costs rise almost asymptotically, "...which challenges the economic sanity of 100% intermittent renewable targets.7".
