I've had a similar experience, shipping new features at incredible speed, then waste a ton of time going down the wrong track trying to debug something because the LLM gave me a confidently wrong solution.

> UCNP heterostructures present a stringent test for any new DL model and representation.

Are UCNP heterostructures also the most promising area of application, or are you looking to apply the method in other areas now that you've validated it in the stringent case?

How do you read it though? I tried but felt like I'm lacking a lot of context without which it doesn't make much sense.

Fascinating!

> anyone with a lick of python can generate millions of workouts

Are you offering an API for the workout generator?

Any plans to generate workout plans for a week/month and incorporate rest days?

Not saying it's nice, but that just sounds like tough negotiating to me. As opposed to actual illegal salary collusion by Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe

Stall for time: repeat what the other person said back to them, reframe the questions, state the obvious, use filler words, etc. Say stuff mindless enough that you can think about the real problem while talking.

> everyone

Do you really think the proportion of people who care about those issues is greater inside these companies, compared with the general population? Or is the proportion of people roughly the same, but they only speak up about it because those are the issues the company is involved with?

Yeah the soul question seemed unfair, in the sense that I answered the first two with the assumption there is no soul, but the third question asks to assume a soul exists, so there's no way to answer it and stay consistent with my previous two answers

I highly recommend MIT open courseware 6.824. Incredibly valuable for learning distributed systems, and one of the lab assignments is implementing raft in Go. http://nil.csail.mit.edu/6.824/2022/schedule.html

There are a ton of fascinating and potentially frustrating edge cases and gotchas to implementing raft correctly. There's no better way to understand it than actually implementing it, and I probably never would have done it myself without these course materials.

When I tried to give a quick explanation of what an aperiodic was to a friend recently, calling it a geometric version of irrational numbers was the easiest way to do it. Glad to hear my explanation had some substance to it, and wasn't just one of those "you can think of it like this, but that's not what it really is" explanations.
