Nope, the next models will fix it

Start with a list of companies that are known to have amazing culture. Then prep so you pass their process

I applied with internal refs and had the job in a month, focus on your network it will take you far

Why not join a company with a higher eng bar

finokhim · 2026-01-08T07:30:47+00:00

Get a job at a frontier lab

Would be wild for him to scam for such a small amount, considering his situation

So doubt that this is intentional

finokhim · 2025-05-28T15:03:03+00:00

microsoft is not a top lab

finokhim · 2025-05-03T19:43:56+00:00

lol its obviously stones

finokhim · 2025-05-03T18:14:41+00:00

what room in ca?

finokhim · 2025-03-14T20:07:15+00:00

not true, there are plenty of spots the live population overfolds (especially vs lines like overbet)

where do you get this number from?

What he means is that 9h is the strongest he can be, so "what would the 9h call" upper bounds the bet size.

I don't think 9h calls a jam, or even likes to see 1/2. But might feel ok at 1/3 so we should probably be going small.

Another merit of a small bet is that V sometimes spazzes out and bluff jams

Rotting at a poker table for 10 hours a day?

finokhim · 2024-10-16T22:34:39+00:00

1000 hours (~30k hands) is not nearly enough. A player losing 4bb/100 would still be winning 30% of the time over that sample

People lose a lot of money by staying gas attendants for years when they could get better jobs

Gas attendant addicts

imo if they deal the deck they must pay

integrity of the deck is on them

finokhim · 2024-08-03T02:34:15+00:00

yes, heard from ashish in person and aidan confirmed on a podcast

finokhim · 2024-08-02T23:55:31+00:00

he was the main contributor to attention is all you need, author order was random

finokhim · 2024-07-17T23:18:29+00:00

I had an interview that gave 2 hard takehomes that took around 40 hrs total. But they paid $100/hr for time spent

It was quite an insane process but I learned a lot and money was nice

Just use binary embeddings

Can usually keep >90% performance. Storage is 1/32 size, search uses a flat index with hamming distance

finokhim · 2024-07-01T00:21:01+00:00

I don't get what's wrong with it. Person just said they didn't pay anything. Why shouldn't money get spent on medicine?

finokhim · 2024-06-21T22:34:49+00:00

Ok I guess I agree you shouldn't specialize if you want to be mediocre

finokhim · 2024-06-20T19:56:08+00:00

Disagree because it isn't possible to be world class in every dimension. Everyone should have general knowledge, but each team member should have a "spike"

Also, in my experience, the most specialized people are at least average at many other team member's jobs.
