this makes sense, in 2018-2022, I would get tons of emails from recruiters at meta, doordash, snap, stripe etc now I barely see any (maybe they've given up )

My friends who are still at Google also say that most job postings will end up going to someone internally - in fact people say they don't do that many external interviews anymore.

Finally the interview cycle seems to take a lot longer than I remember with quite a few added rounds.

the sponsored results looks like you are in an ads experiment since this really isn't how it typically displays

Everytime I see the word delve in an article I can't help but assume it was written by an LLM which this probably was?

For coding it is still 10x worse than gpt4. I asked it to write a simple database sync function and it gives me tons of pseudocode like `//sync object with best practices`. When I ask it to give me real code it forgets tons of key aspects.

In case this is useful - I had end stage arthritis in one of my ankles and ended up getting a bipolar ankle allograft in San Diego at Scripps. I barely think about it nowadays except that sometimes after a long hike or strenuous workout it will feel a bit stuff. Considering I could barely walk before it was a night and day difference.

You essentially get a completely new joint surface from a donor and have to be in crutches for 3 months but it was 100% worth it for me. I refused to do fusion and avoided any doctor that said nothing could be done.

Another solution for end stage ankle arthritis is distraction surgery but I didn't look into it much but it could be useful too: https://www.hss.edu/conditions_ankle-distraction-arthroplast...

America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer who was pretty sure America was a separate continent - pretty random !

I can confirm. Just moved from Zurich to San Francisco. Pretty much everything except rent is cheaper in San Francisco (food can be up to half price of what I paid in Zurich) but rent being such a major expense, it ends up being similar. Salaries are a bit higher in Switzerland though so one would save more on average there.

Only some cantons require voting on citizenship, the others have a more formal process.

They democratically elected to basically jump off a cliff so you can't blame the media for having the time of it's life.

And referendums aren't always a good idea, prop 8 in CA was overturned because we eventually realised its a bad idea.

This is very much an American thing to hate public transport though. Places in Europe, especially Switzerland for example, have much better infrastructure and taking a car can be a pain compared to a train which is faster and a lot more comfortable.

It seems OP was referring to tax as % of ones income and you are talking taxes as % of GDP is what I was trying to get at.

The average Swiss citizen will earn more than your average american - overall swiss citizens will pay a smaller % on taxes than americans.

This is an early video of VocalIQ's system (2010) for people interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NwuqjUZalU

For some reason the video keeps on failing to play for me, here's the youtube link for people with similar problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIad4KkQkuY

ok so I have an invite and it fails all questions except "Who is Bill Clinton"

Having tried it somewhat extensively I'm quite disappointed - I don't mean to say it's bad but that video was definitely curated in terms of questions.
