“I didn’t think there was anything objectionable enough to have it flagged”

Even if there was you deserve a reason as to why, or at least some consideration as to your effort. How would you possibly be expected to correct your mistake if you aren’t told what it is?!

Officer: I am giving you a fine. Citizen: Oh… for what? Officer: That’s a secret, bye

How is that a good system?

oceanseaon Ask HN: Tell me about how you bombed a technical interview

I’ve bombed every single one because they don’t let me use a notebook with all of my notes, Google/search engine and additionally bring in my other friends who we mutually discuss and solve problems with as a group.

Let’s say someone buys an iPhone and 4 lattes per week: each latte costs about $4, and a new iPhone is $25 per month on a payment plan. Let’s do the math now. $16(x)4=$64, and that’s your total latte spend per month. Add on the iPhone and it’s at $79, but let’s round up to $80 $80(x)12 months = $960

Wow those fools spending their $960 which if they saved they would be able to put 20% down on a $400,000 home in only…

80 YEARS OF SAVING

oceanseaon Simply explained: How does GPT work?

It’s a perception problem, as are most things on the edge of mathematics and computing. Displays are built to be visible to human eyes, data is structured to be perceivable to our minds… often we never see the “math” a program does to produce the GUI or output we interact with.

Do you see what I mean?
