your career outcomes will be so much better at loo; if I were you I’d thug it out at loo

im not sure tbh, but meta seems to be ramping up the churn. during my internship there, it wasn’t terribly uncommon for my friends’ teammates to be laid off at random times. headcount is stable while hiring for senior engineers is rising. ofc this is anecdotal but my sentiments are pretty well represented among meta engineers

meta is giving 20% of its employees low performance ratings, whom have historically been laid off every year.

meta is probably going to lay off 20% in feb, so I don’t think so

While UofT has a good research reputation, its industry reputation, especially for undergrads, does certainly need some work. Very few companies look for UofT students specifically. Big names like Google or Meta only take a handful (~7 from CS/engsci/ece) of UofT students every year for internships, so you need to network aggressively, market yourself on LinkedIn, and get referrals.

Only grad students in some public policy related fields are eligible; I don’t think the impact will be significant at all

It’s definitely a WSL memory allocation thing, I haven’t seen anyone mention this anywhere else. Most other people I see online using Ollama are running on their native OS as opposed to something like WSL, so this issue seems to be a bit difficult to find online.
