Be honest though, what’s the difference between this and a good system prompt in Claude to be a language tutor?

I worked for an Edtech startup before that had a novel approach to mastery (as opposed to Anki) and it’s not something you can put in a prompt.

Babbel is better than Duolingo!

uv has a lot more perks! It makes distributing python tooling easier too

Go is definitely better, but with uv you can install all dependencies including python with only curl

Tbf, saying they did cut “some billions” as a group of unpaid or low paid 20-somethings is fantastic returns

My wife earned that as a postdoc at Stanford, but as a PhD in Oxford earned £14k per year. $55k as a PhD is really really good.

Norway has an insane sovereign wealth fund worth 3x GDP that they can only withdraw 3% from per year and that oil sales go into (as they’re basically self sufficient on hydroelectricity), they own 1.5% of all global equities. Their pension system is probably the strongest in the world.

How do you guys do coding assessments nowadays with AI?

I don’t mind if applicants use it in our tech round but if they do I question them on the generated code and potential performance or design issues (if I spot any) - but not sure if it’s the best approach (I mostly hire SDETs so do a ‘easy’ dev round with a few easy/very easy leet code questions that don’t require prep)

This is from lean protein, add fat and your body is okay. You need either fat, carbs, or both. But you can’t just run on protein.

Great comment on the medical site:

RE: "6 to 9 lb of cheese, sticks of butter, and additional fat incorporated into his daily hamburgers"

This implies a daily intake of hamburgers (presumably ground meat only if it's a strict carnivore diet) with 6-9 pounds of butter and cheese extra per day? Is that time frame correct? Is there an approximate daily kcal for that? A pound of butter is 3200 calories, while a pound of mozzarella is 1200.
