I don't get why companies waste time with this sort of interview that just turns into this stupid cat and mouse game. Even ignoring this sort of software, someone cramming leet code exercises is the same thing in my view (they won't remember or use in their work 99% of that stuff).

Just talk to the person, talk about the sorts of problems you expect them to solve. Can they understand the problem? Do they have ideas on how to solve it? Maybe give them a small take home exercise related to the work they'll be doing. Discuss it with them to see if they were the ones that actually wrote it.

Sometimes you don't even need the take home exercise. If they have niche knowledge on the subject you care about they're probably good enough by default (since they are clearly invested and studious in that case).

I only hired a few people in my career but every single one was a huge boon to the team, still around even after I quit as a manager. I didn't even give them a take home exercise. Didn't need to.
> Yet we see big stretches of DNA mutating freely, at rates that exactly match what would be expected from accumulation of random copying errors.

But the rate of mutation is itself subject to selection. There isn't a base rate, just a setting that's different for different parts of the genome. Some parts have more copy errors than other parts. Some are hung out in the sun more often.

So you can conclude from the mutation rate of a particular stretch that it would probably be bad if it started mutating more, and that it would probably be bad if it started mutating less, but not that nothing's influencing the mutation rate.
The lower yields than TSMC would also cause lower profits when making chips for external customers, so Intel must really improve their yields.

Old Intel fabs are refurbished, by installing modern equipment, so they are converted from old CMOS fabrication processes to recent processes.

Before being converted, the fabs spend a few years making peripheral chips that complement the Intel CPUs, e.g. the so-called south-bridge, which may be packaged together with the CPU for laptops or it may be a separate IC package for desktops, and which does not need a fabrication process as dense as the CPUs.

I don't mean the funding, I mean 'free speech' X prioritising everything in favor of Trump just so Musk (not necessarily Trump) ends up with more power for himself and his businesses. I didn't think Kamala was any good either, but this is a shitshow and I'm happy that in RO we don't do that, no matter what all the 'scamming ignorant/dumb people is democracy, so let it run!' people say; lying to people to get votes is not democratic. We saw how great it worked with brexit and we'll see how great it will work out with trump; the people who voted in both cases had no clue what they are voting for (unless you are rich looking for tax breaks and regulatory de-pressuring, then of course you knew what you voted for; moa moneyz); they are lied to and it will be their undoing.
[Author here] I am sorry, I think I phrased the automatic merging point confusingly. I was trying to say that when multiple commits change a file, git will attempt to merge them together, but it MUST flag direct conflicts. Sounds like we agree this is the right approach overall though.
Oh they're not sitting on their asses doing nothing. They're reinvesting the rent into buying, renting and/or flipping more property faster, screwing up things further for everyone.
Why must we never condone murder ever? Surely in the rich tapestry of human interaction, there are a number of reasonable places for it?
Why is it any surprise that one can use await to wait for user input? It is just promises under the hood, right? So that is exactly like one would expect a promise using dialog to work.
CG?
>has explicitly said he'll make this system worse by repealing the ACA.

No, he has literally said he would replace it with something better.

This is a lie, obviously.

But you can't then assume the people who voted for him were voting for the system to be worse.

Some fraction of them are likely desperately hoping it gets better and have just had their desperation taken advantage of.
Agreed, too much focus on healthcare CEOs.

There are many other CEOs and a billionaires that could be targeted too!
It doesn’t sound like he was looking for a job. He was trying to start a business of some kind.
I must say it is nice to see the curl example first. As much as I like Pydantic, I still prefer to hand-code the schemas, since it makes it easier to move my prototypes to Go (or something else).
the vast majority static "sites" don't need to exist at all, how about that?

It's the apps with unique requirements that need to be coded, not some pages that present some info in some way that's slightly different, stylistically, and not standard at all.
> “I’ve noticed quality issues in your code recently that’s resulted in some rollbacks. Can we talk about how we can address that?”

This is just about the laziest and least trustworthy language possible to use. Your reports aren't going to know what they don't know and are just going to become paranoid and work slower. The code quality will likely not improve from a conversation prompted this way. This is also a continuous process, not a magic high stakes meeting. If you're in charge you should see patterns in the code reviews and know what their knowledge gaps are causing these issues. They're looking to you for help if you're the one bringing this up in the first place.

If that's too time consuming or over your head you should not be a manager. Leverage your own knowledge and use mentorship to avoid conflicts with your reports and the improved productivity will please the people above you as well. You aren't giving anyone what they need by merely communicating requirements. Your job is to fulfill those requirements with the team you have.
If you’re going to make a ragebait comment you should ideally provide some kind of basis beyond “waaaah everybody except me is stupid”

One side is trying to kill you, the other isn’t, which one would you choose?
I have only met poor retirees when living abroad. The sort of people that have never been abroad before but love the low prices (and spend most of their time talking about it). I don’t think the House Hunters demographic has much money.
Yes, even on iGPUs. I was running it fairly well on a mini-PC with a 780M and the BIOS a set to allocate 16GB of shared memory to it.
The problem today is not that to get into FAANG you've got to jump through hoops and loops like a well-trained cage animal (aka fresh graduate) but that this is getting applied more and more to literally any startup under the sun, even some with 0 funding.

As a first engineer for a tiny startup, show me some past projects and let's grab a (virtual) coffee talking tech, that's all.

Now it's like McDonald's requesting to perform Michelin level dishes under 45 minutes with Gordon Ramsey in the room while still ending up flipping burgers minimum wage at the end of it all.

If this keeps going and getting worse, I wouldn't mind a butt-plug communication, as long as I can pick my favourite AI (I personally kind of prefer Claude right now over ChatGPT.)
What are you on about? Kamala's campaign has the same free speech access o X as Trump did.

Same with Joe Rogan. He even invited Kamala for a talk and she refused. But Trump didn't and then people blame Joe Rogan for "helping Trump win the elections". At what point is the Democratic Party gonna admit they fucked up every step of the way to connect with the voter, instead of blaming everyone else?

RO is even worse since we're ruled by the same cabal from the communist regime and their chronies and descendents who are basically in every political party. So it doesn't matter who you vote for, the same people will end up profiting off corruption.

At least the US cabal has some entreprenourial billionaires who create top companies and great jobs boosting their economy. RO politics is just thieves stealing from the economy, so we depend on the EU and their companies hiring here for jobs and economic growth.

Another one I like was having to code review a repo which had specific issues in it.

Then add some new features.

Then in the final stage of the interview you go through it.

> I'm as happy as anyone with half a brain that Călin Georgescu is not our next President.

Aren't you worried about actually getting him (or some pal of his) as president due to the Streisand effect?

I don't know much specifically about Romanian politics, but in general this kind of thing can help rather than harm a politician. He can now claim to be a martyr of the establishment and an opponent of authoritarianism.
Meaning of union and enum changes based on which programming language terminology you use. Enum of Rust is tagged union of C with compiler support. Enum in C is just basic enum of Rust without any fields. The list goes on like this.
>that everyone agrees on

(or, at least, pretends to)
It's not like anybody except for the core team had had access before.
Like the fact it's been continuously invaded and mass-murdered by Israel since Israel began? They call it "mowing the lawn". You mow the lawn periodically so the grass doesn't get too tall.
"bijectivity", there is a term from high school I thought I would never hear in real live, still remember having injection, surjection & bijection explained in math class 20 years ago.
Have a look at diogob/postgres-websockets or supabase/realtime.
I don't think this is a good idea. Because zero value changes when you reorder the fields.
I haven't seen any papers doing a proper analysis on the topic, just mostly saying this from firsthand experience testing a handful of them and comparing to the model they were based on given same prompt and sampler. It's usually not even close and you can immediately tell that it's notably dumber. Iirc in one case one even forgot how to do basic arithmetic while the original model aced it. Not entirely unexpected results from sticking a digital ice pick into the weights.

Afaik there are only three major sources of quality unaligned model versions, which are Nous's Hermes models, Hartford's Dolphins and Drummer's Tigers. All of them regular fine tunes that are mostly the same or just ever so slightly lower in performance as the original.
> Nope it doesn't that is 12 channels 2 modules per channel each module at 2GB

You say nope and then proceed to say exactly what I said. When if the ICs are limited to 16Gbit density for now, the 24GB limit you mentioned was wrong, since you assumed single rank was the highest possible.

As for HBM, that is earmarked for their gaudi 3 line. There is no chance of it being put into a consumer product, as it would be like selling gold at pyrite pricing.

I might be calling obvious but if candidate uses something like this, is this not lying to potential employer?

I'd rather be rejected than got job I'm not qualified to do, that's why I never prepare for interview above studying the actual company- and that is more to give me proper signal if I want to work for them, I want to be motivated to make move on more than just money.

I also have never done leetcode, though I like competitive programming problems, especially bot programming contests on codingame.com
I don't know what's the point of the post is. Safe unions require compiler work? Sure who objects to that?

Fully agree, quality is teams's effort and having a blameless culture where the team pushes for higher quality bar is essential. Chasing a single individual only makes sense when they have a track record of repeating the same thing multiple times - means they are not learning from their past mistakes.
I think they’re useless unless they touch some part of the domain you’re howling to work in.
You can sell something at a markup but a gas station sells so many $50 fill ups per day compared to an EV station, the gas station probably has about 1000X more revenue.

Sure their margin might be better than a razor-thin gas station margin but for the time being it's a miserable business. Unless there's another incentive, like selling cars.

So yeah. Like the poster said, there is no incentive for 3rd party EV chargers to be dependable.
what is the phone with the best specs currently that supports linux with external display?
Yep, 2024 market is considerably too good though. When he about to quit, I'd expect 8% yield (pessimistic) per year, so $6.4k/yr or $533/mo, that's "good" living quality in non major cities in Thailand. But to be fair, it's only good for locals, not for foreigners. And that $80k also needs to be invested 1 year before quitting.

It's doable for extending up to 3x of his runway.
I see a lot of beefs in the reviews about the UI (especially on smaller screens like phones). How's the game compare to RollerCoaster Tycoon Netflix, which is more highly rated in the Play store?

Modern languages generally have much fancier type systems (Algol 60 didn't even have records!). Perhaps more importantly, modern compilers do optimizations that I doubt anyone back in 1960s even dreamed of.
What I stated was not fa tally wrong, you are misinterpreting the law or my assertions. I have stated, and showed several times in different comments, that the law did not have an explicit power granted anywhere in the law to annul the entire electoral process.

While the CCR is indeed preeminent in its interpretation of the law, it's every citizen's right to evaluate the law on their own and decide with their own mind if the courts are fair in their interpretations of the law. If the CCR came tomorrow and said that X will be the next president for the next five years because they are the best suited to do Y, I wouldn't have to accept their view as a fair reading of the law/Constitution. It's not like I'm claiming I have some right to block the Court's decision, I'm just saying that by my own mind they are in blatant disregard of the legal framework.
Also ex-facebook here, who worked in high severity integrity.

The human mind is not well understood, and we've seen correlation between things like exposure to suicide and self injury content and increased suicidal ideation.

We KNOW that advertising works, we KNOW that opinions can be swayed with misinformation (it's easier to fool someone, than convince someone they've been fooled) - just look at QAnon for a great example.
Famous example of how badly this works is Jira. Want to look something up in another ticket? Bad luck! You need to close that ticket, then open the other one, then memorize or copy the info you need, then close that ticket, then open the original one again. At that point you are better off circumventing the whole shit UI and clone the browser tab. Which ultimately leads to having a dozen browser tabs open that one needs to cleanup later. Add to that the general incredible sluggishness of Jira, and the massive amount of things loaded when you load any of its pages, and you have a recipe for the disaster that thing is.
Author here, thanks for the kind words! I think one reason we ended up here is that it is a genuinely difficult technical problem even to analyze the solutions. One of my hopes for this series of posts is that it makes the evaluation process more straightforward, particularly for people who do not have a strong background in distributed systems algorithms.
I don't entirely buy that, I'd suggest there's a fair sized chunk of sampling bias in that statement.

Simply because the sample of people we encounter socially is skewed towards the pro-social, and the ones we notice and remember, doubly so.

There's a lot more quiet, reserved, low-key people out there than we realise, and most of them aren't weird.

(Also plenty of pro-social, extrovert types who are weird AF, but that's a different topic.)
It's starting to feel more like "cheat the job interview because the cat-and-mouse game has pushed everything to the point where you can't legitimately get an offer for a job you're actually fully qualified for anymore"

That's not quite where things are now, but the initial phases are beginning to show.
Wonder if someone can write a SQLite for everything article too - would be far more difficult though if considering HA.
You need some basic rules for what's acceptable in elections, or otherwise the winning tactics will be things like threatening or bribing voters. You won't capture the genuine will of the voters if that's going on.

He very clearly broke the law. We could debate the severity of the violation, but it's certainly enough to make you ineligible to run many places.
I think he was meaning that they truncated the lines even when called from a script, with their output going somewhere other than a terminal, not just when run interactively
I work in medical labs. So far I worked for 4 companies and IT support was the same everywhere. It's usually like this:

-ME: I found a problem. The patients get wrong test results in some cases. [explanation]

-IT: No, you don't know how to use the system. [brief instructions for 4y old children, only vaguely related to the issue]

- Look, I did that, it still happens. [attach more instructions to reproduce the problem]

- (1 week later) There could be a problem, but we can't replicate it with your instructions.

- [send video demo]

- Yeah... it could be a small problem, but it's not that serious.

- It's very serious! We send wrong test results to patients! [add more argumentes, examples]

- (1 week later) Yeah... it doesn't seem that serious, it's probably very rare anyway, but here's a workaround [40 clicks procedure]

- I can't do that every time it happens! And it's not rare, it's [x] times a day just the occurences that I know about!

- (1 month no reply)

- Did you read my message? Are you still working on this?

- (1 week later) We sent a support request to [external company]. We're closing this issue until we hear back from them. [closes issue with "invalid"]

- (1 year later, the problem is still there.) Are you still working on this?

- (no reply)

I quit after 7 years and the problem was still there.
It still might, eventually. One kid will live too far away, the other will have family with small children, etc. and the burden will end up falling on the one who's closest and/or doesn't have kids of their own.
Yeah. I could have used "aced" instead ... and perhaps "c0ed" instead of "babe". Would have made a bit more sense together. Well.

Wonder how much the bikes covered under the program cost - how significant is $2k?
Same! This topic gets me soo irritated. If someone is supposed an expert in a field (hence them being an interviewer) how can an average joe fool them into thinking they know more than they actually do during a conversation?

Even now with LLMs generating almost real time, there is always a slight delay and we all know that LLMs are far from perfect.

It seems the tech community on one hand complains at how bad LLMs are for doing deep tech while at the same time fears them as they can make any candidate pass interviews. So which one is it?

Also, the simplest trick even old-timers professor already know:

1) Prepare an open ended question about X

2) Ask it to ChatGPT, Claude, etc.

3) Take note of the titles, keywords used, etc.

4) Ask it to the candidate

5) Compare responses
Huawei allocated 2.5 x 10^33 IPv6 addresses
Just one thing is missing from this excellent article: any explanation of why splitting up Intel, while it would “maximise shareholder value” is also “bad for America”. What’s America’s interest in having an integrated designer and manufacturer, rather than splitting the roles?
Hmm. Interesting. A white dwarf is about the size of Earth -- roughly 1/100 the radius of the Sun. However, a planet in a white dwarf's habitable zone must be about 1/100 the Earth-Sun distance. (∼0.006 AU to ∼0.06 AU.) This dual scaling cancels out neatly. A white dwarf in that planet's sky would appear similar to the sun in our sky.

White dwarfs are also indefinitely stable; they keep cooling over billions of years to become black dwarfs. Then, over >10^100 years, all elements heavier than iron will decay to 56Fe by various processes such as fission and alpha emission. All atoms lighter than iron combine by nuclear fusion
reactions, building gradually up to 56Fe. All of this can happen via quantum processes at zero temperature. So they end as lumps of indefinitely stable cold iron.

Intelligent life can hang around white dwarfs for a long time. Good candidate star type for Dyson spheres.

It's important to know exactly what you are managing: a team? a project? a service? a product? "Engineering manager" is an ambiguous term here.
There's a positive association between 1337code interview hurdles and lack of management competence.

Someone without the confidence to hire someone without going through a bunch of hoops to justify themselves is even less likely to admit humility and say they were wrong. Which makes places that employ these interview techniques terribly passive aggressive places to be.
Agreed. "Where's my dopamine" is the right way to describe it. As an IC I could find a bug, craft a test that reproduces it, write a fix, see the test go green, see the PR get approved and land... I'd get a little dopamine ping at each step. As a manager I'd have days where I had constructive 1:1s in the morning and maybe made a decision on some strategic or resourcing problem in an afternoon meeting. Of course I recognised that the work was not only valuable, but higher impact than just fixing a bug. But the direct hit in the pleasure receptors just wasn't there. I'd finish a day a like that and instead of feeling happy with my work, I'd just feel exhausted and not looking forward to the next day.

After a few years as a manager I switched back to the IC track. I sometimes wonder if my experience means I'm just hard-wired to be an IC, or if with more time and practice you can train yourself to get the dopamine feedback from management activities.
