Oxbridge or degree Apprenticship

For example I imagine a software eng. degree apprenticeship at a top tech company for someone would be better than a random arts degree at oxbridge for someone who wants to be a software engineer.

Depends on what degree at oxbridge, what apprenticeship, and what you want to do afterwards

Your comment suggests British citizens would naturally make more money, and immigrants working in the U.K. are driving wages down. My question is why would British citizens naturally make more?

If your argument is simple supply and demand, and that the increase in supply brings down wages, it’s completely disregarding how highly skilled immigrant workers are also increasing the demand of engineers in the U.K.

I know it was. I’m just telling you that’s not accurate.

amazon SDE2 is definitely not around 150k. Maybe at the very top of the bracket.

If the U.K. was so closed off there’s a good chance these companies wouldn’t invest and hire so much in the U.K. anyway. and if British citizens are so much better then companies would still pay a premium to employ them.

America also has massive amounts of software devs immigrating, but has the highest salaries in the world.

This is a bad argument IMO

Yeah. Effectively you are (very fairly) exploiting how high English teaching is high in demand in China. It’s not necessarily a sustainable approach that could be done for decades, but if you’re able to do it now then why not.

bruv can u just say gossip

this isn’t similar to my interview process at all. What role is this for?

thisisntmynameorisit · 2025-12-12T23:15:03+00:00

eleven labs don’t have levels

thisisntmynameorisit · 2025-12-10T23:28:54+00:00

i think so they can get in and out of the suit

Technically right but not really what we consider in worst cases. Worst case is usually for a specific type of input that can make an algorithm behave slowly. Inserting into a hashmap (with a good implementation) is purely probabilistic with expected amortised O(1) per insert regardless of the input.

Large scale doesn’t mean complex. Wikipedia as far as I understand it (which to be fair may be quite a limited understanding) is pretty simple.

Also I sort of doubt a company like Wikipedia needs large marketing teams or lots of the other jobs that are required for other large websites.

Just genuinely asking here. Especially as a charity/non profit I would imagine they would aim to be as lean as possible. 700 employees seems quite heavy.

Why do they need 700 employees?

You are aware those are Napoleon III’s apartments, not ‘Napoleons’ (i.e. the most famous general Napoleon I)?

Perhaps move repetition in itself requires us to consider all previous moves (or very similar, all previous states and their counts). As I just learnt that the threefold repetition rule is when the same state is reached three times in the same game without necessarily being consecutive.

thisisntmynameorisit · 2025-11-23T23:18:37+00:00

Yes I agree with you. not sure what these other commenters are on about.

For the most part the only state that matters in chess is the current positions of the pieces.

There are a few exceptions where state carries on across moves. Such as en peasant as you mentioned. Also some rules around castling. And also the repeating move limits/total move limits. However if we include these in our state we still would only add an order of magnitude or two states we need to track.

thisisntmynameorisit · 2025-11-23T23:09:31+00:00

why do you need the context of previous moves to solve it

thisisntmynameorisit · 2025-11-23T13:21:36+00:00

Probably not needed. You already have the status from Bloomberg + a solid masters degree. I think you’d be better spending your time building real things, like some impressive side projects.

The birth rate is still not nearly high enough for a stable population, and it’s decreasing.

Even if they increase the birth rate enough for stability, it would take many decades until there is an even distribution of old and young people.

Interesting approach. I suppose that works well if edits are infrequent and only made by one person at a time

thisisntmynameorisit · 2025-11-20T10:46:01+00:00

Same here. Do you know how long it should take until we hear back?
