Pretty cool. Stuff like this doesn't happen enough at non-tech companies.

That’s how interviews go though, it’s not like I’ve ever had to use Bayes rule at work but for a few years everyone loved asking about it in screening rounds.

It's a great summary for ML interview prep.

I have never seen a single one of his movies but I love watching interviews with him, he had an amazing presence and so much energy.

He never had it. If this was 10 years ago, you'd be forgiven for not seeing through it but by this point there's really no excuse.

You’re thinking “any data”, he’s thinking “useful data for training an LLM”.

I think so, it was bad enough for me to cancel my subscription.

Good luck finding a country that doesn’t seem in decline, or improving from horrible to slightly less horrible but still worse than the EU.

The mention of quantum computing in your question seems completely random. Do you think something will happen in quantum computing which will make people with only an accounting education unemployable for the jobs you want to work at but wh

It’s a very bad use case for an LLM because they don’t have as much polars code in their training data and the polars API has changed a lot in the past couple of years. Copilot is still suggesting out of date polars code to me. ChatGPT and

Getting a new job - changing priorities, difficult market, losing motivation to keep searching. Did well on health goals though.

Because comparing these models is way too difficult for a single person to do objectively with just their own brain. So opinions vary. And Claude 3.5 still does pretty dumb things when it comes to coding. And OpenAI still have better market

People in the part of the org that's cut. In my experience most layoffs aren't about cutting x% across teams, they're about the company deciding that they don't need entire functions altogether and getting rid of entire

The bar for things happening in the world isn't "do we really need this", it never has been. It's more like "does anyone have any incentive to do this", and with AI plenty of companies and people do.

The logic is flimsy - having the newer equipment also means looking for reasons to use it to justify the cost so these dentists will often recommend expensive onlays instead of fillings for example.

Similar experience, not with the office but with the dentist himself - he came across as way too artificially nice, more like a salesman than a dentist, then recommended 4 treatments, 2 of which were unnecessary according to the second opin

There's attempts but you can only do so much in hundreds/thousands of dimensions. Most of the time the visualization doesn't really provide anything meaningful.

That's a low bar, inserting keywords in white font to trick CV scanners has been a thing for a long time, this is just the next step.

Steve Jobs was right - Dropbox is a feature, not a product.

I don't agree that it's idealistic because it's only directional - it tells you what to move towards, it doesn't give you any idealistic target or criteria for any of the things it lists. Which seems like a good thing.

If it is, so is most other knowledge work. In which case society is so screwed in the short-to-medium term that there’s no point in worrying about it since you can’t do anything to prevent or avoid it. It’s like worrying about nuclear war -

It's cool that you can build this but in practical terms it's solving a problem that nobody has.

Earning a living through creativity doesn't work for the majority of people anyway even without AI in the picture. Creative expression is a thing that exists for its own sake, the people who make a living out of it are lucky outliers.

There's no pivot. Let's put working on a different level of abstraction aside (like reviewing outputs and guiding AI) - it's already happening to some extent and developer jobs are always changing with or without AI. If AI ge
