Why you don’t make harder questions that would probably require to use ai?

Real job you have ai, so no point to ask too many things that ai can answer anyway.

Ok, some big level stuff like node has an event loop.


Most technical interviews aren't designed to emulate what the job will be like, so what you would or wouldn't have access to on the job isn't really relevant. The goal is to evaluate the human being applying for the job. An interview that effectively emulates the job would really have to be done over at least a week, and most good candidates can't or won't make time for that.

Anything that an ai can do is not novel /s

You jest, but this is the content of a considerable number of serious posts here on HN.

this appears to be where the goalposts are being moved to, indeed.

just because humans couldn't solve does not mean the necessary technique were not already discovered...we have agents that don't get tired and has access to all humanity knowledge, the building blocks could be there already..

this is not moving the goalposts, this is try to understand what this tech truly able and not able to do.


Actually I think this is true, remove the s.

Reminds of what Einstein said, imagination is more important than knowledge..might be his deepest insight ever.


He needed his friend and math genius, Marcel Grossman, to turn his imagination into a workable theory. AI may be our own personal Marcel Grossman at this point.

Good analogy, yeah make sense.

Here is his quote:

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination encircles the world,” means that facts alone only describe what currently exists, while imagination allows us to discover what is yet unproven or unbuilt"

This probably sums up the current AI limitation nicely.


So how come was using your own ip? Become a Diablo node installer so you downloaded from there, like how can they convert your own akamai instance into anode without you knowing?

It's not my own IP, but our IP block. As an institution we have a couple of big networking related hats, so we have a couple of B blocks (/16 networks) for ourselves. The IP was from one of these blocks.

However, these network operations (and CDN related stuff) are not managed by us, but by a couple of high profile guys next door. I knew we had an Akamai node, because the machines were shipped recently and we had a chat about it.

Funnily, some of the performance optimizations on Akamai's disk access algorithms (SSDs were not dime a dozen back then, so people were still optimizing for spinning drives) was apparently developed by a friend of mine, but I don't know any details about that.


I think eventually The west will want to kneecap China, so I guess this is the best time to do so.

You just need one mistake by 1 dev at any time for this to happen. Just once.

And they were supposed to run their models in proper sandboxes, they can’t seem to be able. So what makes you think are competent to protect weights?


Distillation it’s so far away from weights

Just needs 1 agent to find the decryption keys. They must be somewhere no?

Decryption keys are backed into GPU. Learn about how trusted compute works on Nvidia hardware.

This is why for instance Google allow to deploy Gemini models on private GCP instances deployed on air gapped hardware.


Create a few terra repo

I just wiped all agents and it’s always readme.md

There isA study about fire fighting. If you shit down every fire quickly then eventually you’ll have a major black swan. If you let fires burn a bit more then you’ll avoid black swan effect that burns down everything

By definition, a black swan event cannot be predicted. It doesn't just mean "a larger fire" or "the event of a lifetime".

I’m not sure if “let fires burn a bit more” is exactly what we’re after but hazard reduction burns are absolutely a thing and are an essential part of fire risk management. I don’t think your post deserved to get slammed like that.

The region can build up resistance to big fires by having small fires.


Yeah that’s what I’m talking about

Have you considered logarithms?

Are fires and earthquakes the same?

it would appear nobody here knows. We probably ought to shut up until a seismologist decides to chime in

What would a size scientist know about fires or earthquakes anyways

They'd know how big they are, obviously.
