Interview skills should be a pie chart or horizontal bar just to highlight that they are also irrelevant.

Had the only printer in my dorm room of about 70 rooms and charged just slightly less than the university did per page so naturally people printed with my printer. Made some scripts that hooked into google cloud print to log users and had spreadsheet to track funds for users and send emails about what was printed and how much funds they had left. I made mony only because people forgot they had extra funds when they moved out and never asked to get it back. Its not a lot but stil strange to me why I put so much effort into a very low profit business.

I think of the interviewer ask this specific question they aren’t sophisticated enough to expect anything else than the “correct” answer. The question is so old, stupid, and irrelevant that anyone smart enough to ask actual good interview questions would never lead with this.

The “correct” answer doesnt work for led bulbs. A more modern answer would be why the hell can i only go to the room once!? Or you could get a friend/coworker to go to the room and just observe the bulb. One blink switch one, two blinks switch two etc. Lastly if you know a random switch is controlling a light in another room, why the hell is that switch not labeled if you already knew about it. Like how did this problem even arise in the first place. Also if you just want light in the room right now just turn all 3 on and go to the room.

My European brain can’t comprehend the lengths of which Americans are willing to go in order to not actually fix the root cause for gun shootings being an issue at schools.

Jokes on you, i use Dvorak touch typing so I have no idea what’s actually printed on the keys since I never pay attention to it anyway. I would literally not notice at all if you swapped them.

This is highlighting one of my biggest irks about LLMs. It’s utter inability to detect nonsense questions and tell you that you are wrong or following up to clear misunderstandings.

This can become Dangerous when you are researching something and try to rely on results from LLMs to answer questions. If you misunderstand something while researching and ask an LLM a question that is actually false or based on a misinformation it’ll just spit out an answer that is wrong without giving any indication thereof. Extremely infuriating and the LLM will insist on giving you wrong answers even when you try to correct it afterwards.

That tram can probably single handedly carry as many people as that highway in rush hour where the cars are driving at snail pace anyway. Can someone do the math?

That’s just a junior position.

“just start, it’s easy to do”

Eww

I’ve heard it explained this way. The pain, tauma, and or grieving never really gets any smaller but you as a person can grow bigger and stronger so you must learn to live with it and learn how to deal with it.

It’ll always be part of you but learning how to talk about it and take care of yourself is the way forward.
