Interview behavior is certainly a reflection; presence of a whiteboard, on the other hand, tells you absolutely nothing about the quality of the workplace.

Are you really offering an easy setup to the senior devops person? I'm sure they can figure things out.

Something to keep in mind - experienced devops and security experts are extremely valuable, at the same time ML beginners are in oversupply. Do you really want to put yourself at a massive disadvantage in the near to medium term, especially if the future of ML is kind of uncertain while with your other skillset you can have a pretty stable career?

As someone working in ML (a couple of years of experience), I'd much rather be in your position than mine.

Old design + Reddit Enhancement Suite is the only decent way to use reddit right now.

Managing the resources on the planet in a way that every human being has good quality of life and doing this in a way that's sustainable in the long term and without resorting to oppression, dictatorships or active population reduction.

I read the post and still have no idea what point it's trying to convey apart from a general sense of smugness.

> At the end of my programming day, I want to look on something that is beautiful. I don’t particularly care about how useful a chunk of code is or how much money it might make, or what silly little business problem it solves. If the damn code is ugly I don’t want to see it.

I can't relate to this at all.

As much as I like 3blue1brown, watching those videos is not a good way to learn. It's maybe a good way to get some intuition about a topic and much closer to the "infotainment" category. A good textbook + solving problems + maybe writing code works much better for actual learning.

Simply switching devices helps. If it's after 5pm and I don't have any meetings or tasks that I can complete by 6pm, I turn off the work laptop and put it away until the next morning.

People who are moving out of big cities - how long do you expect to stay with the same company and remote?

Your question is almost orthogonal to the way AI is developed. It starts with the task and the AI algorithm is specialised to it. In that sense, we have AI that has not just human but superhuman performance in tasks like playing chess for example, and we're working on many other tasks.

AI that resembles human intellect in the general sense is still just a dream. And we're not remotely close to even knowing how to approach this problem, let alone solve it.

Similar situation - still sharing in London and thinking how for the same amount I can have a whole flat to myself somewhere else in the UK. It's kind of difficult to plan things if I expect to move back to London in 6 months or so.
