I don’t think I think so differently from you and managed through a few interviews with success. I almost go further than the OP by suggesting to interviewees that I have a blank page of notes I need to fill in with evidence to support hiring them, for someone else to read. The coding question is to kick start that process.

The thinking gives more than just the answer and makes it more of a conversation. As a candidate I will mention projects I had similar when think about anything. As the interviewer it is hard to gather experience: so many people stay abstract and it’s infuriating (let me help you get this job! Yes you can do something means nothing; when you did do something means everything.)

I am sure that many interviewers don’t see it like this however and treat it like a quiz sadly. Best advice for interviews I was given as a candidate: the interviewer will decide in the first five minutes if they want to hire you. The rest of interview is them trying to convince themselves and others of that decision.

The charging situation need to be factored in. Charging at home, it has enough range. Public charging, range buys the likely hood of charging convenience.

Why should kids put away their toys first?

Isn’t it more optimal, from the perspective of play, to have them spread out?

I can see the argument that if you clear your desk, you’ll be more inclined to draw because you have the space. But if I didn’t impose that value, they wouldn’t necessarily draw. They’d just play with something else.

I don’t track my fuel usage. I did once. Economically, I don’t need to. The car tells me my MPG anyway, literally, if I care to look.

Accounts are harder to track now, with fewer physical assets and more renting and subscriptions.

The point you make seems to be that rigidity in the system would bring value. But I think the values people have often exist outside the system. The system is imposing an idea of what is worth tracking or organising in the first place.

Oddly, I think LLMs are quite intentional in their current incarnation. You start with an empty input box, state a curiosity, and go looking for information. There’s very little imposed structure around what you should care about.

That changes once OpenAI et al. start tracking what you do and recommending what you should be looking at before you’ve even formed the intention yourself.

Thank you! I didn’t know what it was. The downvotes suggest I should have.

You know, I did read it. Without the full context, it isn’t entirely clear. I have looked again, and don’t feel it is wrong to come away unsure.

Anyway to know this is real?

Where I live, no Dad is being praised for changing a diaper. And golf clubs suffer.

Quite hidden in the mobile app at least. I had to click thinking. The slider goes 5.6 Instant, 5.6 Medium, 5.6 High, 5.6 Extra High, and the surprise 6 Pro

We should dice up time instead.

I think you miss the point and value add. The always on computer isn’t to run the client only, it is to run all the things a user would normally. The laptop becomes a terminal for a computer that can do anything your laptop can. If you don’t have the need or desire for that, then yes, use a rpi or whatever.

The article implies the demand is for running locally. I’m not convinced, at least with a mac minis. Most people I know and myself buy the mini as it is always on, easy to setup, and isolated from my main computer which is a laptop. The mini is driving the use of the $20/month subscriptions.
