tokyolights··on AI PCs Aren't Good at AI: The CPU Beats the NPU
Not sure why this isn't discussed more here. I think exactly the same, the NPU occupies more silicon area because it has custom circuits specifically to reduce the number of cycles (and thus energy) needed to perform those calculations. Doesn't necessarily mean that a CPU wouldn't be able to bulldoze through it faster (with much more energy).
tokyolights··on Leetcode Considered Harmful
While I'm not in favor of LeetCode-style interviews, I recently had a fairly pleasant interview process with a company that used these coding challenges. The twist was that they were all camouflaged as scenarios that resemble their own business, instead of some random unrelated concept. I found that their effort to make the questions look relevant made it much more pleasant for me to actually feel engaged and solve them.

I did get an offer from them though, not sure how I would have felt if rejected.
