I'm a staff level SWE at a company that you've all heard of (not a flex, just providing context). If my manager said to me tomorrow: "I have to either get rid of one of your coworkers or your use of AI tools, which is it?&quo

They're not obligated to enforce the non-compete. If you don't have any sensitive information to take to a competitor, they might not give you any garden leave. OTOH, I've seen non-competes as long as 2.5 years from places li

No. Getting worse with time as well. I recently decided to double up on my Vyvanse dose (without telling my doctor), and that was effective. For a day.

It's Google. Assume the training set contains, as a subset, the entirety of all public digitized information. How would you like to them to share it?

I think the big picture that many people are missing here is the motivation that all these AI/tech companies have for buying up so many GPU's in the first place: achieving AGI/ASI. And while some still try to portray a dedica

Tech market is rough. I think BigTech currently thinks that there's a better ROI spending $300k on compute (training an LLM) than $300k on an employee. All the startups I've interviewed with are HEAVILY leveraging LLMs (via Cursor

Tobacco is addictive, nicotine alone without MAOIs is not nearly as addictive.

Sorry, you're right. I made up those numbers based on data suggesting a pareto distribution of matches. I also didn't intend to imply that I'm somehow in the top 10% of objective attractiveness - I meant attractiveness within

Probably because they're not letting me bang them out of politeness.

I'll chime in as somebody who's been considered top 10% of attractiveness in one country and bottom 50% in another - the difference in the amount of sexual opportunities on apps is absolutely staggering. Not that this should be a

I worked a TON of overtime last quarter and I'm not going to make that same mistake again. If I work over 40 hours a week, that time is going to be devoted to prepping algorithm and system design interview questions so that I can easil

Damn, what an incredibly poorly executed plug. Could you at least try to be sly?

If interviews started testing for OS fundamentals, then people would just switch to prepping for those instead.

Seems like a standard interview imo. Security engineers would be the last group of people that I would try to screw over.

That's a mistake. A lot of people lie on their resumes. Source: I've lied on every resume I've ever sent out.

Who isn't aware of it? The question is are you willing to short it? I've been expecting Tether to collapse for 3-4 years now. Had I shorted it back then (it costs about 12% to borrow last I checked), I'd be out a lot of money

I think I'm missing the connection between how HFT's trade and how it takes money away from regular people.

Generally, illegal trading resolves around the idea of trading on non-public information. And front running falls under that category (access to order data that other participants do not). However, HFT's do not trade on non-public info

Front running is illegal. However, making a better price prediction than the rest of the market and trading on it is not the same thing as front running. [1] https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/frontrunning.asp#:~
