the shitheadery is probably? due to the author being 19.

I mean sure? Swapping the pointers recursively is also fine. It's a question meant to see if the interviewee can talk about data structures or code, not to come up with a perfectly optimal working solution. Having a lengthy discussion about what "inversion" of a binary tree even means would even be totally fine imo.

I've interviewed a fair number of candidates and I ask them a very simple question with a bunch of edge cases and grade them based on how they talk about it, not the final solution.

I get the feeling that Max got frustrated and wasn't able to coherently speak about the problem, or the interviewer was dumb as rocks. I think both are equally likely.

Dude couldn't invert a binary tree in an interview and so couldn't get a job, allegedly.

how are all of the AI girlfriend services doing? The last time it hit the news, one service ("replica" or something silly like that?) cut off the lewdness which angered users greatly. Are there new players in this space?

the hypocritic oath

(the joke doesn't really work but I had to do it)

can't wait for impotent blubbering about alignment while everyone's lives are made measureably worse by greedy failsons throwing AI at every conceivable problem it can't solve.

do I also detect a hint of "failed to be a engineer/scientist but desperately still wants to appear like one"?

I'm sure Paulie G understands the necessity of regulators in a market which has real world consequences and is just being disingenuous here. If he actually believes the things he said i wouldn't care much, but he clearly knows what he's doing (as evidenced by replies). Fucking scum.

I'm working on a single user node that can talk to Lemmy and mastodon. The idea of having my own homegrown "ship" (stealing that from urbit, sorry guys) for interacting with the fediverse is tantalizing for me. Progress so far, however, has been minimal.

The "Understanding activitypub" blog posts link to a test instance of mastodon that has an activitypub explorer. You can point it at your own servers to see what happens. This has been immensely useful for me.

Maybe it's a sort of recency bias but I feel like the old CNN/GAN image generators produced far more visually interesting "art" than the hyper-realistic unnerving shit that today's generative models put out.

Midjourney is profitable, so they fucked up BIG time. Imagine going bankrupt while someone else uses your technology to make money hand over fist.
