Yeah and companies continue to use leetcode style interviews even today and software engineers keep grinding for them. It's nauseating to contemplate on.

Thanks for putting it in words. I feel the same about SOTA coding models. I get visibly frustrated by this and often find myself using curse words at Astra. You're right it's very unhuman to miss obvious opportunities you mentione

Tried Gemini in Google sheets today and it was horrible. I simply asked it to apply a nice visual formatting (bold, header filling, currency signs etc) but it made everything look ugly despite working for 4-5 mins.

Maybe I'm just too primitive but I let dogs handle it. I homestead in a remote Indian village and many stray dogs I look after instinctively take care of my property. There are false positives sometimes but that's okay. I like it

Can everyone afford to be curious though? I think being innately curious like cats is a double-edged sword. I think most people aren't privileged enough to explore their curiosities fully. Curiosity often costs much more than time when

Yup! Depression can cause psychomotor retardation, which can make even basic physical activities like sitting or walking painful because it feels physically heavy to carry all that weight.

I'm glad it worked for you. Lifestyle interventions had a positive impact on me as well but depression can be much more complex/stubborn and it affects everyone differently. It's not just maladaptive thought patterns or belie

Good points. I often think about this and I've come to the conclusion that just because other people don't have deep or niche interests doesn't make them any less smart than me. I lived in a city during my "social learni

Ethical concerns might become an even bigger bottleneck in the future. It's sad what we're doing with millions of rodents each year.

Sure, but what kind of protocol are you going to use to actually reap the benefits of these transient neuroplasticity effects, especially for learning something new like math or piano as an adult? Same with ketamine. It's not like you

So is ketamine but we haven't explored it more for other brain functions where it can act as a psychoplastogen eg reopening critical periods of visual learning.

Yeah it's [x was never the hard part] all the way down. It's a very human thing and I bet we'd keep saying that even after we've solved the hardest mysteries including consciousness, the origin of life or the true nature

Yes and LLMs are known to cheat on tests written by them.

I decided to forgive them for this mistake and proceeded to apply anyway. They immediately asked for my Github auth and auto-sent a 1h technical assessment. No intro call or chat. This sounds much worse than not having an 'x' butt

We need more personal CRMs in general. Monica is too outdated by today's standards. There's one called Dex but no free plans there and it's a bit too complicated for a personal CRM, like a business-like onboarding, linkedin&#

I used their hosted platform about 8 years ago and It went down many times. I just checked it today and to my surprise, my data is still there. Very glad to find it.

Actually they have several different products based on IP type and quality. The credit-card only access you're talking about is for shared and flagged residential proxies. ISPs legally sell them to businesses and they can work for some

Yeah, mail server IP reputation is a good example. I wouldn't want to be flooded by emails from spammy mailservers IPs and I'm glad that my provider de-priortizes them.

This is just the largest residential proxy provider BrightData(previously Luminati that used a free VPN to source residential bandwidth) The overall residential proxy market is too large and often undetected by intelligence tools. BrightDa

The optimum amount of residential proxies is non-zero.

If anonymous currencies can be considered a national security threat despite making up less than 0.001% of the world's total value, then why not anonymous packets?
