Shodan is the villain from System Shock: https://shodan.fandom.com/wiki/SHODAN

> SHODAN watches from Security Cameras, stares out of screens and monitors, sends threats and snide messages over the Station's PA system or via email to the player's data reader, and sometimes cuts off communications from friendly sources.

Would you happen to have any examples showcasing their hypocrisy?

Though hyperbolic, I thought the reviews were balanced. Products shouldn’t primarily be built on hype and optimism, they should fulfill a job to be done. The software for AI Pin will improve but so will AI capabilities for smartphones in parallel.

I also don't believe it's about memorizing word for word but the way most of these incremental reading apps are designed rely on cloze deletions to create the "flashcards" and so it is in a sense training your ability to recall word for word.

I can see incremental reading being good for researchers who might benefit from widely and incrementally reading an enormous number of papers over time. But in general, I think you get more improvements in knowledge and skills by going deep into one resource as opposed to going broad. Not to say you can't do both though.

Spaced repetition seemingly falls into the same problem, it's easy to fall in the trap of making more and more cards without questioning whether or not you'd be better off doing other tasks to solidify your learnings.

The point of disagreement here is probably with regards to our definitions of happiness. What you define as happiness, I see as just forms of temporary satisfaction or pleasure.

In my opinion, I think happiness isn’t the goal since it’s temporary. Instead we should aim for equanimity which arises from the complete cessation of stress and doubt and is much harder to obtain but is longer lasting.

lol this comment is ironic on many levels, thanks

The terms right view and wrong view are from buddhism. There is a right view as taught by the Buddha found in his teachings. Clinging to right view is better than clinging to wrong view, even if it’s still clinging.

But following your own logic, why the resistance to my comments if my statements are neither right or wrong and is just as valid as yours? I’m not intentionally doing the things you’re accusing me of doing.

At the end of the day, may you understand the causes of your own suffering and find peace.

I mean this doesn’t really mean anything. There is a right view and a wrong view, and of course you can make incremental steps towards right views.

Don’t get so attached to your own opinions, that’s a form of clinging.

I'm not a nihilist so I don't know whether those characterizations are accurate. It seems you are making some conflations with absurdism and pascal's wager.

Nihilism to me is about accepting the idea that there is no self but without actually having directly experienced that truth. And according to buddhism for instance, there is a way to experience a selfless existence which gives rise to true equanimity.

Without direct experience, nihilism is just another form of faith.

This is a step in the right direction but it is still wrong. Yes, whatever praise or accolades you earn from work will be things you can never take with you when you pass. But the same also goes for whatever enjoyment you get from hobbies, interests or activities. You've just swapped one temporary source of happiness for another. Even if the latter is more meaningful, it is still temporary.

It is easy to suggest focusing on one's happiness but it is more useful and (more difficult) to figure out how to tackle unhappiness instead. The goal is equanimity not happiness (i.e happiness in the conventional hedonic sense). Focus on the cessation of your personal suffering.

Your comment (and hypocritically, this comment as well) is also a hilarious example of how some people on HN also disregard the actual content of the parent post and instead point out/share their negative meta-observations of the HN community at large.

tldr; The hiring process in the tech industry is flawed and inefficient. Current assessments and coding interviews are biased and time-consuming, resulting in poor signal and a waste of resources. Many companies have tried to fix this problem, but have struggled due to high churn and competition. I propose a solution of open-source asynchronous debugging interviews and a platform for developers to practice and showcase their skills. To curb churn, the platform should bundle assessments with other sticky products. I'm considering building a product based on these ideas and welcome feedback.

It’s pretty simple, if you want to figure out what users want, a sane first step is to try talking to them.

> Ultimately the point of the question is A.) To tell if you're lying about your experience

You’re the one who suggested the idea, that the question is a way to tell if a candidate is lying about their experience.
