I see hardest job market ever. Since 2023 I had ~dozen interviews and 0% up to offer pass rate (half fully passed interviews, with no offer at the end due to variety of cases like money change of mind, other candidates won, ghosting,..)! Up to recent couple years I had over 90% interview passing rate, even in dot com and 2010 (when I had 6 companies interview with 6 offers). I am 55y with rich experience vertically (from low level to high level) and horizontally (multimedia, high tech, many platforms and OS's, major programming languages and few good to pass hard leetcode like interviews). I am better than ever with my skills. (btw leetcode is "disease" and counterproductive the way it is used, I have to say that as that might be part of deeper explanation and I pass it majority of the times, although had few "walk on water" type that maybe only "Jesus of coding" could pass or maybe even he could not)
MS has a history of flagrant abuse of user's privacy much before Win11, with Telemetry, Recall fiasco and Cortana, just try to analyze the traffic from MS Teams and you'll have hard time to find a bigger nosing spyware (Zoom as a Chinese cloaked is arguably close). Mindset of "anything goes" as long as it decorated with "nice sounding words and names" while under the hood is doing a mix of potentially quite nefarious things. I stopped at sanitized Win10 and can not trust that Win11 sanitation can hold (therefore won't switch to it likely ever and there is growing number of users like me). Once you start seeing this, you can't unseen it. Long term it is bad intent strategic direction that will end in loose-loose.
This is typical medical "cartel" (i.e. gang/mafia) type of a move and I hope it does not last, since any other AI's do not get restricted in "do not look up" way, this kind of practice won't stand a chance for very long.
I'd welcome rational and logic substantiated thoughts on "Prediction: Nvidia Stock Price Will Skyrocket to This Range in 5 Years" (into range btw $1300 and $4K)
I was aware of market growth projections and I think there are many factors/bumps on that road. Additionally, investment in AI datacenters is already all or nothing kind of zero sum race, so much so that it has hit limits (power, available money, etc) so that there will be harder limits on such path (i.e. think of NVDA market cap value in a case of such valuations btw $35 and $75T which should fail this analysis).
So, what do you think is more realistic (with sound end2end logic)?
As "all birds know" US has the best MSM "the money can buy" and three letter orgs and NGOs extensively manipulate? The paid swamp in Washington is has made and facilitated it. Any surprise?
Stop using Chrome. (i.e. as main browser I use Firefox which with containers is unmatched and Brave for any websites that I used Chrome in the past mainly for faster JS, while speed is +/- per bench) This could not have much effect on Google in the beginning (technically informed users first), but at some point it can (and I predict will, as technical literacy and privacy awareness is increasing, plus greed and productization of user data does have limits..) be avalanche moment. It will take variable time due to many variables, but is inevitability (i.e. universe law of "optimal path"). In my opinion, Google has miscalculated with the move to obsolete MV2 (masking it as "security" adds to dishonesty and consequent distrust, which is the opposite from the original Google's founding principles)
OK Chrome shall be gone/uninstalled/not-used from all my computers and shall recommend it be removed from all my friends computers with the explanation of their behavior and loss of trust and respect for us users!
Interesting inversion of priorities?
In the age of huge increase of abuse of power by secrecy over-classification and already unearthed arguably up to criminal abuse of power and waste of our money (with all crimes that it caused here and in the world), invasion of the country and countless other hybrid attacks how does secret clearance of few efficient engineers look compared to all of the results already shown and more to come?
Is it ideal, no but there was not other known way or all would be open to hear it and cutting the power of executive branch is bureaucratic dream where they could grow like cancer up to killing the host, which they were arguably close.
FB interviewer had "two hard Leetcode problems within 35min", where 25min was background and 1st leetcode problem was "changed" (adding ambiguity to the point of be without solution - later could not find any full solution, for which I stated factors and disclaimers to interviewer).
Agree, such or similar unrealistic interviews are loss for both sides, plus they are plain STUPID. I've performed ~400 interviews that most included coding in my career with consistency and standardized report (can compare apple to apple).
To clarify, in summary so far LLM's can do a bit more than the inputs used for training. Example https://dynomight.net/chess/ as well as some coding solutions are a bit better than each input alone, although if the solution requires more than "a bit more" then LLMs start to hallucinate (spin the wheels). Time will tell if LLM's can jump this "a bit more" barrier? (I can not tell for sure yet, but the current knowledge and my NL tells me if I'd have to put a bet, it would be that the new approach/design is needed)
