I thought it was getting consensus.

I'd recommend Alex Wu system design interview books volume 1 and 2. Then Designing data intensive applications. It really gets to the point. Also there is added benefit of being ready for MAANG if that opportunity ever comes up..

He is available for work.

I was at a coffee shop in Astoria and it sounded like the subway running under. My first thought was that there is no line under this street (been living here forever). Then I thought maybe a jet liner flew over too close. But then judging by other people's reaction, I realized that this was an earthquake. I had no idea that you can hear earthquakes...

There will always be more novel code to write that the the AI hasn't learned.

I tried the Vision Pro today at the apple store in Manhattan by Central Park. I used to own a quest pro, but I sold it a year ago since it was catching dust. My expectations were that the passthrough would almost be life like (or much better than oculus). Reality, I couldn't tell the difference. It still looked like I was watching life through a camera.

The UI was also a bit clumsy. I noticed bugs and even the apple employee was stunned how I got a window 'stuck' in a place. It became unresponsive.

Having said that, the 3d spatial videos were spectacular. I did feel like I was almost there. The 3d movies were also amazing and had fairly good colors. Overall it wouldn't replace an OLED tv, but it was impressive.

When I took it off, I was thankful of how clear I can see with my eyes. Everything seemed like '8k'. I guess the Vision Pro is fun, but it was a bit uncomfortable and not really AR imo

Move to USA/Canada.

does this course come with the labs? if so how can we test that our compiler is working?

do you think I didn't do that? why do you think I came to HN?

Right, I just made a switch to management.

Just watched that video.. it's unwatchable. It's basically one still after another. There are way too few animations, i.e things going on..

It's not remixing training data. It is actually generating video using a diffusion transformer architecture.

I don't. I never enjoyed the company of people over myself. But I do like to 'browse' an environment when I hit a certain threshold of solitude. Living with people is an exercise in escape management. I am almost 40 now, but through out my life I attempted futile attempts to meet ppl as OP is suggesting. Every time I came out in a worst mental state. Some people just need to be alone.

yes, thanks for your response

Thank you, after reading your comment, I did some research and stumbled upon this, an explanation of how Sora works from Jim Fan:

I was wondering on the internals of Sora

does it just piece bits of videos together from the randomness of the internet to generate something? So it's a statistical match to some aggregate combination of videos?

I'll be honest. The gaming industry is going to use the AI tool exclusively. A lot of people will be fired.

I got 'triggered' into this thought by thinking about the energy requirements of a system worth 7 trillion. A system which seems to require exponentially larger resources for progression.

People have been scared of AGI for decades, such that it would take over and destroy humanity. Hail our robot overlords! My take is that it will do that indirectly by destroying the climate first because of the energy requirements. I find it chilling to imagine the possibility that any inevitable successful AGI would require humans to first destroy themselves. As in we are setting up the precondition for it. Just like how dinosaurs were wiped out so that the homo sapiens can evolve.

Being a devil's advocate, why would you hire someone when they are already doing the work for free?

I am running ollama on my MSI GP76 windows laptop with RTX 3080 card and 64 gb ram. It's running on the baked in linux installation. It recognized the graphics card right away and works pretty well. On my macbook pro m3 max with 36 GB ram, I can't run the 70B parameter model.

I had the unfortunate experience of trying the metaverse. It was vile to the point I logged out and returned the headset. Maybe Apple will offer a better alternative. The experience is nothing like real life, where a few bad people are usually limited in their verbal assaults. Also you wouldn’t generally have exposure to such indecent behavior generally in real life.
