There we go, another brilliant reply. /s

… Says the guy that was just talking about people eating crayons.

Ah yes, because France isn’t on the brink of a far-right government nationally. /s

It’s been long enough since WWII none of the lessons are viscerally remembered, basically. Either book education and anti-hate laws will hold fascism back, or we get another round of learning the hard way.

It’s not really clear how much is backlash, and how much is just a failed totalitarian state leaving them uneducated and unrefined. They still tend to want state intervention in the economy, as well, which is why BSW is a thing - the exact opposite would be the former DDR voting for their Liberal (so libertarian for Americans) party.

Oooh, amazing comeback, person who names themself after Hitler.

I mean, if they actually used their own laws, they could just ignore that idiotic quarter. When the nation was set up, not going Nazi again was a major consideration. Buuut the precedent for legal action, now, is that every anti-constitutional group is too small to qualify, too big to qualify, or, like, both.

Godel has a vibe. Don’t be so sure.

Cantor is the infinity guy, so clearly he/it’s a mind-breaking eldritch abomination with tentacles. (Also, mostly 19th century)

I don’t know Frege.

Thank you for the footnote. Without that, it could also have been pedantry, or the German system, where secondary schools have postsecondary-like specialisations already.

Ah yes, the famous 996 culture.

In practice, is it 4 hours of paying attention and 6 of going through the motions, or just goofing off? There’s been some research to the effect 8 hours already gives diminishing returns, if you’re doing something subtle or complicated.

Yeah, it’s really awful. With any luck, AI winter will follow AI summer, like usual, and the serious people can come out again. Although, aren’t CNNs more of a this century thing? I guess two decades is still decades…

IIRC autoencoders actually produce the same image to within our ability to notice, as well.

To explain a bit more, most of the information in an image is actually stuff we would never notice. The very specific way a few of a pixels slightly deviate from a perfect gradient, for example.

The basic idea of a jpeg is to convert an image to a kind of frequency space, where each pixel corresponds to a specific wave-like pattern. It’s reversable, preserving the information. and fast conversion to do, thanks to FFT. Even without, it would only be quadratic time. Then, the algorithm crops it in that new space. (IIRC jpeg actually has a few extra features, as well)

Yup. It seems a lot more likely than solving a problem that we still can’t solve, and that might not even be possible, in the 90’s.

Then I bet your stuff is actually good.

Well, there’s reason to think it is. Or at least, is for original, insightful questions; anybody can come up with “can I have more time off?”. We live in a society that rewards reliably doing and saying whatever you’re told to, and critical thinking (which isn’t just skepticism!) is super rare when tested for. A lot of college kids with good grades got there because they learned to mindlessly repeat whatever stuff back when tested.

Why that’s rewarded so much, and if there’s a way to encourage and teach actual independent though, are great questions, but that’s not really relevant here.

Also, I think that behavior is more related to the employer creating an environment where employees feel safe doing that

It’s also a big factor. Since that reply, it’s come up that OP isn’t actually management, but just does interviews. So, maybe they’re looking more for a good colleague than a good employee.

If memory serves, Google used to use these kind of questions, but they stopped because that isn’t actually what they wanted or needed in their workers. A code monkey doesn’t need to question anything, in the end.

Bijecting to an exponential curve was also a hint. Anything that bijects to an exponential would just biject to the positive reals, since that’s how logarithms work.

They’re all real words, but not in an order that makes sense. And I’m not sure what algorithms there are by a Ross or Maxwell.

It could be on a different subject, but it has to be a trick question. If they were prompted to ask more, that would undercut the whole point of the test, since OP wants employees that always ask or question.

Are you sure you’re management material?

(This is a complement)

X to doubt, CNN/Brett McGurk.

Like, sure:

Wars are contests of leverage and endurance. And the contest now looks very different from even a few months ago.

But there’s no real foundation given for why Iran is more exhausted than America. Yes, more is going through the straight of Hormuz, and Iran’s still isn’t a global economic power. But, America is mostly out of weapons, and had no public support in the first place.

The language about how Iran “chose” to attack shipping is also pretty gross. It’s technically true, but the US chose to start this war, so it’s not like it was unexpected, unjustified or arbitrary. There’s also a part that’s basically “we can do it if we just believe”.

This bit is totally right, though:

A better American strategy from the start may have been an economic campaign to support the Iranian people demanding change.

In July, Kim Jong Un instructed that military discipline be tightened, following a corruption scandal involving senior military officials. South Korean media say the reshuffle is intended as part of this anti-corruption campaign.

Sure, and the fish are working on their anti-water campaign.

Beyond that, it’s pretty hard to make heads or tails of this, since information is so restricted. Even people who study NK for a living seem like they’re doing guesswork.
