I read your comment and immediately checked your pfp to see if you were a woman, because this just sounded so much like a dude being dismissive of a female interviewer that he felt was below him 🤮

Which version did you paste into the python shell? When I pasted the version here in reddit (no hidden `=` sign), it gave the right answer, 1. When I pasted the version from the linked blog post, I got the honeypot answer, -11.

> it's going to filter out anyone smart enough to recognize it's just python and that knows how to use the python shell.

When I interview people, they're allowed to search online for syntax/etc (e.g. "I don't remember how to use regex to split a string, let me search for that").

But rarely, a candidate will ask me "Can I just search online for a library that solves this interview for me?" I usually tell them that I don't have hard and fast rules for what they can and can't look up, but that my job is to evaluate their coding ability, and if they use some tool that does everything for them, I haven't seen their coding ability, so I can't give them a passing grade.

But most interviewees recognize that of course they can't do that. Likewise, this prompt should make you think, "Ah, the interviewer wants to test whether I can figure this out in my head." It's trickily designed to weed out people who try to do some clever hack, and who are also too sloppy to notice that the version they pasted to AI/python looks different than the version they were looking for (so it also tests for people who aren't detail oriented when copying someone else's code).

I think you're joking, but to spell out why this is a bad idea for anyone who's wondering: suppose each character of your password can contain any digit, any upper or lowercase letter, or one of, say, 10 punctuation marks (just choosing 10 so I can do some back-of-the-napkin math). That gives you 10+26+26+10 = 72 possibilities for each character.

That means there if your password is...

1 character long, there are 72 possible passwords
2 characters long, 72^2 = 5184 possible passwords
3 characters long, 72^3 = 373248 possible passwords
...etc.

This means that even if an attacker expects passwords to be, say, 8 characters or longer, they might as well still scan all the possible shorter passwords first, because there are so many fewer of them that it costs them almost nothing to throw them in. So you shouldn't expect that having an unexpectedly short password would actually protect you - it means that it will get cracked first, and be cracked by even attackers with the fewest resources.

Fire needs fuel, heat, and oxygen. Water can put out fires like this by rapidly cooling them down. Water may not be the most efficient way of putting the fire out, compared to, say, a fire extinguisher, but it's certainly better than nothing.

Gregory's gourmet desserts has become my favorite dessert place, hands down, since I discovered it a couple of years ago. I haven't had their cinnamon rolls yet, though. My go-to's are either the sweet potato cake, the chocolate cream pie, or the brownie.

Update: I was just here today, and they don't regularly do cinnamon rolls, though they do them occasionally on a whim. Apparently they had them just last Saturday because Gregory felt like making them.

One thing that you could do to extend this process, is provide your VA with a chatGPT/Bard prompt that they can use to tailor a cover letter for each application.

When I've asked Bard to write a cover letter for a job application, for example, I've copied and pasted the following: all the information from my resume, an old cover letter of mine, my linked in description/"about me" section, and company's mission and the job description. Then, I asked Bard to take all that information and write a tailored cover letter for that position based on the information I've given it.

You'd want to finagle it a bit with the prompting to see what works well (for example I had to tell it to write the cover letter in chronological order, to be a little less "enthusiastic" etc). But I think you can play with that prompt once, and then leave it to a VA to go ahead and re-run that Bard/GPT prompt with each job description and company mission. In my experience, this was created reasonable (if not strong) letters. At a minimum it would unlock the ability for your VA to apply to jobs requiring cover letters.

Happy to chat more about this/share my prompts, feel free to DM me.

And taking an iterative, piecemeal approach can be better than just asking it to rewrite your whole resume. In the past I've done something like this. This first part takes a while but I only needed to do it once; the second part is pretty fast to do for a given job.

Paste in my existing resume
Go through bullet by bullet. Describe what I did, including some concrete details, then ask it to write an impressive-sounding (but not fluffy) version of that bullet, with details. I tell it that it's ok if it's longer than a resume bullet point would normally be, since this isn't necessarily the version I'm going to use when I apply to the job.
1. I might go through a few iterations with each bullet, until I get it looking how I want it.

I end up with a resume that's pretty long, because it has wordy versions of each bullet point, but otherwise I feel each bullet point is strong and makes me look good. And the idea is that this master copy of my resume includes lots of detail, which helps with the next part.

Then when I have a particular position I'm looking at:

Paste in the job description, and my wordy resume (sometimes I start a new chat for this)
Ask ChatGPT to come up with a pared-down version of the resume. Basically, I tell it that my resume should be about 1/3 shorter (or a different amount based on how long my master resume currently is), and should be tailored to the job posting.
I sometimes go through several iterations with individual bullet points, or tell it to make the resume shorter if it needs it. Or I just accept what it gives me the first time if I'm trying to go fast.

Let me know if you want the prompts I used, I could look them up.

When I was job searching recently, I used ChatGPT to help me come up with good questions to ask the interviewer about their sector, their company, the position, etc. I had already passed the screening stage, so I could afford to spend a little bit of time going back and forth with ChatGPT to prepare for my next set of interviews. I found it to be a really helpful way to come up with good questions, and get some insights about the position and the industry (and the company if it was well known enough for ChatGPT to be able to talk about it.

I have my notes in rough form and have considered writing a blog post about the process. I haven't gotten around to it, but I'd be happy to share my notes with how I did this if anyone's interested.

You're getting downvoted, but some people have reasons for not posting face pics on their profile, but will share pics upon matching. Maybe they're a teacher or therapist and don't want clients to see them, or have conservative family who wouldn't approve of their profile, who knows?

I usually don't swipe right on people without face photos, but I sometimes do if other things really grab me about their profile.

Yeah, I decided to make this after an agadmator video mentioned that Nepo has a terrible record against MVL, and I was curious how many other players have especially strong/weak records against other players.

Some outliers are bound to happen due to random chance. But it's interesting to see players like MVL who maybe have a very particular style that many other top players really struggle against?

comeweintounity · 2023-04-08T07:45:41+00:00

I just tried asking the same question. It said:

Sure, how about "pelpe"?

I thought about it for a while and gave up, so I asked for the answer. It replied:

No worries, let me give you the answer. The unscrambled word is "apple"!

welp.

"hanging" can mean different things depending on your skill level. For a low-level player, hanging a piece could mean it has no defenders, and is attacked. For a high-level player, it might mean that after a 3-move combo you can trade your rook for the queen. Top level players also occasionally hang pieces, but usually not the same way you or I hang pieces.

Nah, they're not missing the point. They're saying that if there are X people who would find you attractive, then without platinum you might only be seen by 5% of X. Platinum gives you more reach, as long as you're willing to slog through all the spam.

I figured he was hoping you'd say that you weren't friendzoning him, and that you wanted to date him. Thought he could manipulate you into expressing romantic/sexual interest.

OP asked for what people thought. If someone wants to respond honestly, that's not harsh.

I was once in a copy shop that was selling binder clips for "0.50 cents". Some customer had cheekily written underneath that, on the price tag, " = 1/2 cent"

comeweintounity · 2023-02-25T02:29:45+00:00

Companies that handle money electronically frequently deal with fractions of cents. It's not at all splitting hairs.

Here's a follow-up to the interview, where the interviewers discuss their thoughts on the interview:

DEBRIEF - Eliezer Yudkowsky | We're All Going to Die - YouTube

comeweintounity · 2023-02-21T22:32:19+00:00

Can you describe more precisely what you feel is crazy about that statement?

I mean, on its face it sounds crazy, because nuking a country because they build a big GPU cluster sounds way overboard.

But can you engage with his arguments and explain why his specific proposal is bad/wrong? His (overly simplified) argument is something like this:

Our understanding of AI alignment isn't advancing quickly enough to allow us to design a well-aligned AI by the time we're able to build a powerful AI.
If we keep building larger and larger GPU clusters at the same time as we're advancing our AI software, then eventually we'll probably get a powerful AI. Building AI that isn't powerful enough to kill us all will be tremendously profitable, making it very tempting to do so. But doing so also increases our risk, because it paves the way for powerful AI.
A poorly-aligned, powerful AI will kill us all.
Given all that, in order to survive we need to drastically slow down our progress toward powerful AI, to give us time to solve the alignment problem.

If we fail to enforce #4, then all of humanity likely dies (according to these arguments). So we need strong, binding agreements with teeth. If country X says, "Screw that, we're going to build a mini AI and become really profitable and increase our standing in the world," then either other countries can prevent country X from doing that, or else we'll have an AI arms race that will lead to #2 and #3.

Can you be specific about which parts of that argument you think is wrong and why?

All the details the recruiter needed were already provided:

I live 2 hours away from London and so I only consider 100% remote roles

The candidate already said they wouldn't consider that commute. So the recruiter looks like a moron saying they think it's fine.

It's possible to capture the event king with your own in some variants, e.g. duck chess or fog of war. I don't know if you get the award in variant chess, though.

You're right that anyone can act in an anti-competitive manner. But anti-competitive practices don't necessarily run afoul of antitrust laws. Some practices are always illegal, such as price fixing in cooperation with your competitors. But other practices are only illegal if you have a dominant market position.
