hardware + software = magic

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

@ID_AA_Carmack simpler languages may help here also. C++ is a minefield of understanding due to things like operator overloading and dependent name lookups. zig and go are more straightforward. rust is also complex to understand but the borrow checker offers a cheap way to verify some concepts

might actually have to become a united customer again.

[United Airlines @united]

The entire row is alllllll yours.

Welcome to United Relax Row, three adjacent United Economy seats with adjustable leg rests that can each be raised or lowered to create a cozy lie-flat space for stretching out...

You'll also get a mattress pad, blanket and two pillows. If you’re traveling with kids, a plushie too! United Relax Row will be available starting next year on more than 200 of our 787s and 777s, each with up to 12 of these brand-new rows.

@pitdesi @bscholl smisek-era united-continental was pretty bad, turning an amazing airline into a subpar one. i might give united another chance now.

the environment allows you to write and test your solution locally and then submit when you're ready. bonus if you have claude code: it will generate test cases for you from the problem description

i started playing around with @LeetCode. being a terminal junky, i wanted to do everything from the command line, so i found leetcode-cli. then, i got bored waiting for test submissions to run, so i created an offline environment: https://t.co/LBulIbcK52

@ID_AA_Carmack @Jonathan_Blow the most recent counter example is Xbox, where ripping out a lot of Windows helped us gain technical credibility within console development. i had rose-colored glasses from that experience, and have been involved in every make-a-consumer-client-OS effort within Meta.

@openInfer when can i replace my ollama instance with openinfer?

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

@jmitch @pitdesi the bootloader is open, so you can just boot whatever os you want on it already.

@sdamico what are the major micros that do battery management and motor control?

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

@NielsHoven i don’t think the verbiage is stating that is the reason. it is just stating that kids experience diversity at public school, which gets lost when moving kids to private. but, that’s just one attribute and for the quote to single it out clearly makes an implication

@pitdesi i can say i only understood the framework here due to @patio11 ‘s recent essay on interchange

it unfortunately came up with tautological answers to those follow up questions. but, the code was correct which is more than i can say for most candidates!

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

this morning i asked ChatGPT a programming question i ask in interviews at facebook. it did better than most candidates.

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

i have done almost 500 interviews at facebook, and while i don’t ask this question every time, i’m well-calibrated on how candidates perform.
