Based on my recent job search: Don't focus on grinding leetcode, it's not worth your time unless you're applying to Meta/Google/MSFT etc.
- give yourself a concrete algorithm practice goal, such as "get through Blind 75" (it's a list of 75 questions you can find online).
- practice using data structures and also implementing whatever your language doesn't provide
For context, I just spent most of the last two months doing a job search in the Bay Area. Did final round interviews at several companies ranging in size from a few people to a few thousand.
I encountered exactly 1 (one!) direct leetcode problem during my interviews.
The author's wishlist for an Obsidian homepage could be done with a custom plugin. That's the beauty of Obsidian, you don't have to wait, you can extend the software yourself.
The LLMs are quite good at writing one-off Obsidian plugins, in my experience.
The English/Mandarin section was VERY impressive. The accents of both the woman speaking English and the man speaking Chinese were spot on. Both sound very convincingly like they are speaking a second language, which anyone here can hear from the Chinese woman speaking English voice. I'd like to add that the foreigner speaking Chinese was also spot on.
I think the family plan has great value if you have family members that wouldn't otherwise pay for it. Gifting others with less ads in their lives is a significant win.
Have been using Instant for a few side projects recently and it has been a phenomenal experience. 10/10, would build with it again. I suspect this is also at least partially true of client-server sync engines in general.
There are a ton of alternatives if you search around. I created my own because I wanted something keyboard centric, and use OpenRouter with it: https://github.com/iansinnott/prompta. They all accomplish roughly the same thing though.
This is not always possible, but if the product in question has a mobile app or a wearable talking to a server, you might be able to utilize the same API it's using:
- intercept requests from the device
- find relevant auth headers/cookies/params
- use that auth to access the API
Curious to see if the apple LLM can interact with any messaging apps other than iMessage. Even amongst my American friends i only have a lone contact that I keep in touch with using iMessage.
- copilot would only predict after the cursor, whereas Cursor predicts nearby edits, which is quite helpful
- copilot-chat was just a chat sidebar last time I used it, you still had to manually apply any code suggestions. cursor will apply changes for you. It's very helpful to have a diff of what the AI wants to change.
It's been a while since i've used copilot though, so copilot chat might be more advanced then i'm remembering.
