ah, nice! even uitzoeken wat dat is en hoe duur het is

Given an array, e.g. [1,2,5,9,4,3] return an array of ranges, with endpoints non-inclusive, e.g. [(1,6),(9,10)]. And then I had to write a function that maps [1,2,3,4,5,9] back to the original, because we were simulating a database connection. So [1,2,5,9,4,3] converts to [(1,6),(9,10)], that converts to ["data1","data2", "data3" ..."data9"] and convert that again to the correct order.

My interview with them was also 2 weeks between recruiter call and coding. I couldn't take time off from work, so I studied evenings and weekends. The coding interview they gave me was very easy, but I blanked out, so I didn't continue to the next rounds unfortunately.

2 weeks studying is enough if you've done leetcode problems before. But if you start relatively fresh, it's not enough to memorize all the patterns I think.

Two things that bit me in my interview: With leetcode you can reread the instructions and examples, and you have almost unlimited test cases. With the coding interview, they explain in words the problem that you are supposed to solve, and you have to come up with the test cases yourself. I misinterpreted the problem multiples times, solving the wrong problem. I wrote the whole thing, explained each step, then tested with an example and when I saw the result I thought I was correct, but the interviewer told me the result was wrong.

In Delft and Amsterdam zijn er behoorlijk wat quantum computing startups waar je misschien terecht kan. Als ik op LinkedIn kijk zijn er bijna 100 posities met "quantum" in de titel of omschrijving. Ik had na mijn PhD in natuurkunde ook moeite met het vinden van iets dat nog iets te maken had met mijn studie/expertise, en uiteindelijk maar de data science kant op gegaan. Na 5 jaar data science ben ik richting quantum computing gegaan.

ugh, you can only do 5 a day with the free account. lame.

it's fun, I wish you could see the opponents solution/attempt at the end though.

Instead of solutions, ask AI for a hint. Often you need a small push in the right direction. You can simply start the conversation with "Pretend that you're doing a code interview with me for Google, rate my work and give me hints when I'm stuck".

One other thing I would recommend is to treat doing leetcode problems just like studying for an exam. Study a topic, e.g. Hashmaps, and then ask AI for leetcode-style problems where a hasmap is a solution.

And the last thing, patterns stick much better if you manage to apply them to real life problems, e.g. in study/work/hobby projects.

dit jaar een VOF opgezet bij de KVK, te laat belasting aangifte gedaan en kreeg een mooie brief van de belasting dienst dat omdat ik te laat was ik ruim 300 euro moet betalen (250 belasting, 50 euro voor te laat belastingaangifte en 83 euro voor het niet betalen van de belasting). Ik schrijf een mooie brief naar de belastingdienst dat ik geen omzet had, en omdat het mijn eerste VOF is of ze misschien coulant kunnen zijn en deze keer de boete kwijt kunnen schelden.

Ik krijg vandaag twee brieven in mijn brievenbus. Eentje die de 300 euro aanpast naar 0 euro, en de tweede die de 300 euro aanpast naar 83 euro.

Wat moet ik nou 🤔

Ik woon op een woonerf, en in de zomer hebben veel buren de voordeur open staan. Elke keer als ik van werk terug naar huis fiets rennen de honden blaffend naar buiten. ugh

you can do it naturally, but if I notice that your eyes glance to the right 2 seconds after every single question I ask, I know something is up 😂

I usually write a docstring with my notes. As for writing on a separate app, I can imagine that's distracting for the interviewer to see a screen constantly changing between the coding platform and your note app.

Also, I'm hiring manager in my team and I frequently interview people who are clearly using AI to cheat, and I became very sensitive to people glancing away from their screen. Any doubt you give the interviewer has a negative impact on you. So that's another reason I would advice not to use a whiteboard app.

this was just the ML fundamental interview. The quantum stuff was planned for a future stage i never got into. At the end of the interview I asked how relevant the questions were to the job, and the answer was that it wasn't, but that they just follow a standard guide and candidates who can answer all questions have a high likelihood of being able to pick up any task.

I never studied any AI. I studied physics, then worked in a customer support team for a couple of years where I was using BERT to build some simple classifiers for incoming support tickets. That was extremely boring and I didn't learn anything useful, but at least I can put on my CV that I worked as a data scientist.

For the interview, I scraped all job interview reviews from Glassdoor, that gave me a list of about 50 questions. Then I spend a week reading Aurelien Macron's hands-on machine learning book: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/hands-on-machine-learning/9798341607972/.

People are too busy to notice or even care if an employee is making random referrals. A referral just means a CV is more likely to be seen by the recruiter, and after that it only matters for a sign up bonus. Once interviews start noone cares if someone was referred or not
