The APK that you linked, runs the inference on CPU and does not run it on Google Tensor.

The whole world knows it as Arabic numerals. I am not contesting where it originated, I am just saying, that using Indian numerals confuses everyone.

Hinduism and the Hindi language are two different things, and they are not related.

Looks like its not maintained.

India has about 18 official languages. Its hard to support all the official languages.

Also, the people who are online are mostly people who understand English. Supporting languages does not increase their outreach.

I am not talking about inventing data structures or an algorithm on the spot. It takes some amount of time to find the right data structure and the algorithm. I felt that the interviewers are not ready to give that time.

Say you have not seen a particular dynamic programming problem. It takes some time to get to the fact that there is a recursive solution to it, and then apply DP to it.

For a person who has seen that problem, it doesn't take a lot of time to write the code. While interviewing, you are compared to that person. Nobody takes that extra effort to actually appreciate somebody who thought about the problem and answered it.

For a tech industry that prides itself in hiring the best / most talented, this is ironic.

I used to believe this. As a masters student who is going to graduate soon, I have to put in months of preparation for the interviews. Nobody believes in your ability to write code even after having close to 100+ commits to a popular open source project. People expect you to come to the correct solution after 5 minutes of them asking the question.

I had this view when I was interviewing for internships during this quarter. I have spent working and interviewing at a couple of places, before I came to pursue my masters and I believed people valued coming up with the solution on the spot.

I interviewed at atleast 10 places for internships and every single of them asked one of the questions from either leetcode or cracking the coding interview. I found none of them cared whether I am thinking on my feet for a solution or not. As long as you can reproduce the answers to the questions in a nice manner, you got selected. None of my interviewers were trying to understand / empathize how difficult it is to come up with a solution really quickly when you have not seen the problem before.

The thing I learnt through the ordeal is 1. Nobody cares whether you are thinking on your feet or not. 2. You need a month of preparation going into these sort of interviews.
