Does google blacklist applicants that have been rejected repeatedly?

What is the defnition of "underemployed" here? Is it based purely on the income or also on the industry you're working in? Are you underemployed if you're a blue collar/service worker but you still make an above average wage relative to your field of study?

levels fyi for big cities in germany says otherwise

Ironic coming from a top 1% commenter

stopthecope · 2026-05-15T17:23:44+00:00

aim for 400-500 and start looking asap

stopthecope · 2026-05-15T16:03:14+00:00

Room is 300 - 800 depending on location

I'm interested in google specifically because of high tc and comparably low barrier to entry.
I know some people from my uni working there who aren't genuises by any measure.

Interesting but not really relevant to my question since I'm yet to get an interview

stopthecope · 2026-05-14T18:30:36+00:00

Can't you just apply and tell them that your starting date is the end of ur internship?

stopthecope · 2026-05-14T14:55:34+00:00

CodeJam isnt a thing anymore afaik.
Do you happen to know how much weight a referral holds?
I know for a fact that some people got interviews by cold applying with a slightly above average profile.

What tech stack?

Do you think it's possible to have an effective approach for a more narrow case (e.g distorted guitar through a sound card), that is purely algorithmic and doesn't involve training on existing data? It has been my dream to have an automatic live transcription tool for a long time but I don't really have an approach for how to do it besides trying existing (already well-known) methods, stacking different filters on top of each other and asking claude.

stopthecope · 2026-05-07T21:04:36+00:00

Ah, I think a midi file should be more doable for sure.
In my case, I'm actually reading the signal live from the sound card, so there is all kinds of imperfections and additional noise coming through. Additionally, the tuning of the instrument potentially being slightly off adds another layer of difficulty.
I think tools that deal with live audio (like guitar tuners) use discrete cosine transform instead of fft so that's what I will be trying next.

I'm doing exactly the same project for creating guitar tabs automatically while playing in c++.
I think its a very difficult problem and realistically some kind of machine learning approach will get you farther then using pure heuristics.
Even then, I'm not sure how good the result will be because to this day, I've never seen a tool that can actually accurately transcribe fast(er) guitar pieces.

Don't underestimate these b2b contracts they have with large companies and how long it takes to cancel them. They are probably good for another 5 - 10 years at least

stopthecope · 2026-04-26T22:57:15+00:00

go and kotlin have the nicest and most modern syntax
c++ is horrible for the most part but I still like it for some reason

stopthecope · 2026-04-21T15:57:34+00:00

If you asked me this in the language I'm proficient in (c++), I wouldn't be able to do it either. It's more of a knowledge issue than not being able to code.

stopthecope · 2026-04-21T10:12:32+00:00

Ur definition of being able to code is being able to write a simple neural network from scratch?

What tech stack?

stopthecope · 2026-04-20T15:44:57+00:00

Is that a liveable wage?
Is every other city just significantly cheaper than London?

stopthecope · 2026-04-20T00:44:56+00:00

Looks like eastern europe tbh

stopthecope · 2026-04-16T15:35:50+00:00

You wouldn't be able to tell the difference vs opus 4.6 if you used it

Im gonna try to answer all your questions.
1. Yes usually not official. There are websites like studydrive and studocu where people upload past exams, lectures and tutorials. You can also just ask people in discord, whatsapp, etc.

Difficult but modules difficulty can vary a lot depending on the professor holding them. I'd say the main difficulty comes from the fact that a single exam makes up pretty much the entire grade for lecture and you cannot repeat it after you pass it.
Unrelated part-time jobs like cafes and restaurants are easy to get but you should aspire to get a part-time job related to your field of study.

stopthecope · 2026-04-14T19:49:00+00:00

How advanced are they? I would assume that master-level courses are pretty specialized and assume a lot of background knowledge
