The goal of an interview is to assess talent. AI use gets in the way of that. If the goal were only to produce working code, or to write a quality essay, then sure use AI. But arguing that misunderstands the point of the interview process.

I never expected I’d come to HN to learn about the study of the occult. TIL indeed.

Monopolist? Fitbit is far from the market leader, where Apple Watch completely dominates the category.

It would seem that way, but I’ve known many people who have had 7- and 8-figure year-end bonuses. The key is that it’s not a one-time thing, it’s a repeated game with many players who share information. If a firm gets a reputation for underpaying its star performers, it won’t ever again get good talent, and it will die.

It’s already in use at washingtonpost.com. About 4-6 months ago (IIRC) they had some superbright inline ads that made me doubt my eyes - I couldn’t understand how they were so vivid. Now I know how they did that.

What idiot keeps all their money in a bank instead of securing it themselves?

Sometimes it’s preferable to pay the professionals, especially if you’re not an expert. I’ve recommended LastPass to my grandparents for years because it’s better than using their grandkids’ names as passwords everywhere.

Yes! That, and the gamma-rays being emitted by all the falling matter. That’ll kill the husband way before he gets close.

But I love the story. Clever use of time dilation.

If you’re on an iPhone you can power off then on to get to the Lock Screen. iOS will tell you the name and artist of the video that’s playing.

I don’t know if there’s a way for the author to disable that. But I think it’s a valid part of the metagame to use that information when guessing. Kinda like how the top geoguessr players use camera artifacts to deduce where the photo was taken.
