This is like SBF and co, right?

Is it clickbait? It’s slightly provocative but the content seems to live up to it.

She’s deconstructing absolutist nonsense into something less absolutist. It’s almost anti-clickbait.

It’s an encoded bitmask indicating which fields to include from the API. The specific layout is an opaque implementation detail; the value is typically generated by the api playground Ui

I see, thank you.

No, Loab was an extreme value in parameter space which certain inputs could converge too.

There’s a reason that songs like “fuck the police” came out of the LA area.

Decades later, and it’s only worse. This is where the “abolition” language comes from. How do you fix this? Unclear. Wholesale replacement seems tempting in the face of any direct path to reform.

LA police organizations are rotten from fruit to root. Incrementalism won’t work.

That seems like a very bad interview question

Can you elaborate why do you think so? I'm not asking for correct answer on this question of course (indeed if candidate would answer correctly it means that he knew the answer and the question had no point). I'm expecting to confuse candidate by providing him correct answer and then ask him to find out why his assumption differs from correct answer. This is common in software development and observing how does one tries to understand wrong code provides valuable insight on his skills.

Another question that I like is asking to find out issues in one fragment of code. This fragment is crafted to contain style issues, some bugs and architecture issues. This allows to understand the level of candidate: which issues can he spot. Not ideal, but I think it works good enough.

I think the assumption was that you were asking for the correct answer. Definitely makes sense after you explained it though (at least, it makes sense to me.)

Do you have the foggiest idea what “cruise control” systems are capable of these days?

Yes, nothing compared to FSD. Some are coming close to autopilot but that's about it.

Do they make left turns at unprotected 4 lane roads?

You’re conflating two things. The BBC is indeed taking it down for copyright reasons. The Indian government is censoring it for political reasons. This post was about the former.

From the inside, he has an ego like Elon and focus like Dorsey. Several of his executives are very good at managing him, but he lives in and broadcasts from a white void detached from reality.

Can I ask what your source for this is? Perhaps you're an ex-employee?

I never worked under Tobi directly (or even close), but I was almost always thoroughly impressed with his communication and direction. I think I have a totally different take than the one you stated. The only axis I could see Elon & Tobi both sitting on is being members of the tres comas club.

Externally he has a personal writer whose whole job it is to make him seem smart. He's the darling of the Canadian tech industry, which badly needed a win since the implosion of Nortel, so he has a ton of advantages. In SV he would be a mediocre wannabe founder but in Ottawa he's hot shit.

That seems disingenuous at best—the man helped create Ruby on Rails & founded a mutli-billion dollar tech startup that has been wildly successful. Is there really any ground to question his intelligence, or rather, whether or not he's smart?
