  • This question becomes more a test of age as time goes. I’ve been asked this question even after the movement towards all-LEDs.

    This question is also stupid, both because it has a correct question and because almost certainly some people have advantages over others that have nothing to do with the actual job.

    20+ years ago? Sure, this was a somewhat viable question. But now? It’s incredibly messy.

    Over my years, I’ve asked dozens of very, very smart people from all kinds of walks of life, extremely smart to seemingly dumb as hell - nobody has ever gotten it right.

    Probably the only thing this question is good for is seeing how an applicant does when faced with a diplomatic situation and a really dumb interviewer.

    I’m super curious what the people who unironically ask this question think they’re testing.








  • I 100% disagree with you and people saying it has too many awards. If it deserves an award, it deserves an award.

    But holy shit ai is hot condensed bad. I don’t care if your argument is “but it’s only the fine details of the textures”, maybe pay somebody to do that for you, because there’s more than enough fine details in nature and human creativity. Also, ai is essentially entirely based on stolen work, and I don’t give a rat fuck bullshit ounce if 0.00000000000000000000001% of ai is completely ethically designed, trained, powered, sourced, ran, operated, invested, and gives proceeds to the starving children’s fund… that shit doesn’t exist, and if it actually does by some mental gymnastics loophole, it is, by far, an exception to the rule.

    Fuck ai and fuck all you people with weakass moral compasses encouraging this irresponsible destructive bane upon society right now and making bad excuses and even lying about it. It doesn’t have to be at all like this.

    When I worked at Taco Bell, I would make food like how I would want it and I would ice and fill drinks how I’d want it: just enough ice and filled to the brim with no overflow or mess. The trick is to tilt the cup and overfill it, so that the foam rolls out of the cup as you’re filling it, then untip it as you top it off. The momentum of the overflow keeps the side clean if you do it right, kind the same energy as snapping off a paper towel or toilet paper from a roll one-handed.




  • In their defense, for a while there, they were the best algorithm out there. It was actually really good. Not anymore. It’s fucking awful. One of the worst shuffles I’ve ever seen, super repetitive and actually insulting suggestions.

    But also, everybody should dump Spotify for a shit ton of ethical and political reasons.
