who is it?

BAML?

wait until the CBDC is implemented

They can’t even fix their hiring process so never mind about fixing the world.

not too sure about that. remember when zuckerburg etc met with obama? how much do we know about what was said?

Pure speculation: what is the possibility the current administration told silicon valley to dial down hiring and salaries to help with inflation? the result being our job market has been destroyed. it would be worth investigating this.

I disagree, I think crypto is extremely important, much more important than social media for example, which has been shown to be toxic and to destroy people's health, on top of also requiring a lot of data center resources and thus being bad for the climate.

it is unlikely that you know the answer to every question if what you do is reasonably complex or a large area of tech

so you are basically saying that your past work doesn't matter and only whatever trick question is being asked matters

distribution of consumer electronics can mark up the price with 30%-50% and then the retailer adds another 30%-50%, and then the cost of transporation needs to be paid, there is the cost of storage, sales tax, etc etc

so a $1,000 MSRP consumer electronics item might need to be manufactured for a cost of $100-$200.

i think that if one wants to make products in the US, the cost of distribution and retail and transportation needs to be addressed, and it seems nobody wants to touch that hot potato

if this was entirely manufactured in the US the retail price would be $10,000

Because everyone incorrectly assumes there is intelligence at work and because people don't want to critically evaluate answers because that takes a lot of time to do.

Yes very much. I have the impression that some FAANG type companies have diverted resources/headcount to AI related roles while keeping the job openings around, which maybe means if you apply to a job, and it's not an AI job, you might never hear back. One person who used to work at one of these companies confirmed this to me, that resources have been put on AI and taken away elsewhere. What I'm also concerned about is that the idea is being sold that AI will replace software engineering and of course there are many companies who love that idea and will happily buy into it regardless of whether this will ever happen. This has the effect I think that many people will switch careers and after the AI thing blows over, there will be less talent around, or the talent will be AI focused and there will be a problem to find talent that can get the job done, whatever it is.

You can ask candidates for a piece of code they've written in the past and discuss the code with them. That should be adequate.

Yeah, I shouldn't have written that. The comment comes from a place of frustration with the interview process and my perceived cultural differences with how people who grew up in the US interview candidates and test whether they are a fraud or a bullshitter VS how people from other backgrounds interview. Too late to remove the comment now. My mistake.

No.

testing in china is not the same as testing in europe

i thought office space was cheaper per sq ft

i thought xerox parc had lost its glamour and was being mismanaged by the parent company… maybe that was just a rumour

I could but will take work to do so. Maybe a few weeks. The code started with heavy OOP cuteness and ideas of globals = bad. When I was browsing the linux kernel code base I got a much better idea of how large code bases and systems can be organized.

what was the reason?

are they paying you for the hours you participate in this? if not then you should not participate

I wonder what this means for SEO. If someone develops content and someone else then generates very similar content using AI, how do the search engines know who to rank higher?

the open source licenses are not provided along with the AI generated code, AFAIK

i think we are a very long way from that, there is no "intelligence", just advanced interpolation

i don't think anyone training AI models cares about any of that right now

and how are you going to be compensated when an AI model has been trained on it, and your code is spit out? and who will pay for the litigation?

i have been thinking about this too… wondering whether an office + 1br apt is better than a 2br apt with one of the br used as office?

why do you think LLMs will achieve actual intelligence and reasoning matching that of humans?

i have seen no proof of actual reasoning or intelligence
