The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.
I have a spicy, optimistic take - I think there's an opportunity for junior engineers: felixrieseberg.com/hunger-be…
It's funny seeing people vibecode projects and then promote them with the workers dot dev or vercel dot app URL.

And are we absolutely sure Taiwan and South Korea are the examples of rapid economic development without murderous dictatorial government we want to use

the year is 2100. “taiwanese” as a word now refers to the hereditary caste responsible for building the last human-made semiconductors, and omniclaude accords them the highest honors at his table in metaverse heaven, along with all the other last men

New: Proton, the company behind ProtonMail, emailed staff to say it will be 're-interviewing' workers about how they use AI. The implication is, if you're not using AI, or won't learn, you may lose your job. “These re-interviews are consequential,” a leaked email seen by 404 Media reads.

One problem with much of the western left on Taiwan is that they consistently confuse (either intentionally or due to ignorance) two issues: what Taiwan's status should be and how Taiwan/allies should approach that status to best maintain Taiwan's safety given China's polices

BREAKING:Bradford has fled the Tronto mainland following its fall to socialist Olivia Chow. Sources say he will establish a new govt on the Toronto Islands with the goal of eventually reclaiming the entire city. Chow has promised to purge all remaining Fordmintang on the mainland
Suzuran Street Stroll and Cooling Festival (鈴蘭通散步納涼會) in Taichung. It's insanely busy down here today, a phantasmagoria of performances, LARPers (the good kind), tasty snacks, experimental coffee, layered history, and everything great about Taiwan's central metropolis.
One Taiwanese custom I was completely unprepared for is picking bones. I'm not sure I had ever heard of it before I was invited to do it.
Typhoon Champi swept over Yonaguni and is now taking a hard left to swipe at the easternmost tip of Taiwan #TyphoonChampi 🌀
The weather station out at Cape Santiago is recording 41.9m/s winds with gusts up to 65.1m/s at 23:30 local time. Pretty breezy.

Talked to @CurtisSliwa today at the bodega he said, “I used to debate who was better Trotsky or Stalin, I’m a Trotsky guy”
Walked right out into a howling typhoon tonight. Everything was going sideways, trees downed, a real mess!
Most of Taiwan will be having a typhoon holiday tomorrow. #TyphoonChampi
