Only if they are being honest. Offer this as a 12 month temp contract with possibility of continuation. Offering a role as permanent but with unvoiced intent to let go, that's dishonest. Being honest is always a responsibility.

Common pattern where a bright spark asks, 'why you all so complicated?' Proceeds to assume we're dealing with a finite graph / set. All the complication is needed to handle the fact that the state can be a random vector

It does apply to people? When you read a copy of a book, you can't be sued for making a copy of the book in the synapses of your brain. Now, if you have eidetic memory and write out large chunks of the book from memory and publish them

Here's a great life hack for you. Set a 15s delay whenever you type in an editor. That way you'll think more before writing code.

It's not so hard. One of the interview stages I did somewhere well known used this. Here's the neural net model your colleague sent you. They say it's meant to do ABC, but they found limitation XYZ. What is going on? What c

I used to work for a historical records org. As of 10 years back, OCR was getting humans to transcribe such work. So whatever the limitations of genai, my prior is against there being a perfectly good old fashioned OCR solution to the &#x27

It's not quite like that. Maths content is the ne plus ultra of conceptual. It's totally possible to slog through a chapter of a maths text and feel like we got it. But it turns out our 'understanding' was a facade. We c
