 A 2nd note after https://growmane.blogspot.com/2024/09/interesting-question-was-what-if.html

 

The more lions hear sounds like this evoking 80's nostalgia, the more they realize those warm 80's moments probably never happened but are fabrications from many times.  Dolphin delight actually came out in 2010.  It conjures a memory of a lazy overcast vacation day in winter or a lazy evening in summer.  An overcast day or purple evening which really happened in the 80's might be getting fused with a time lions chose to tune out in the recent past.

The only times lions really tuned out in the 80's were when they had headaches in the evening.  It was a negative time.

The memories of the real 80's have trended darker in reality.  The old man was off & on, constantly in a panic over the sky falling, never able to be the mentor that many gootubers described as essential in their careers.  It wasn't the lion kingdom's choice.  There wasn't a mentorship to be had.  The old man viewed success as entirely dependent on formal, theoretical, non vocational education rather than informal hobbies.  He wouldn't have built any electronic contraption or program as a hobby, even if he could.  He didn't have any assembler or C compiler at home.

You had to work around the evenings & weekends in those days.  You were only going to be productive during the weekdays because the other times were reserved for a manufactured crisis.

The more the real 80's return, the less inclined lions are to invest in C64 software.

Lions are nowhere close to making even the bare minimum salary in a top tier company like the Goog, but they still don't have to commute & will still be able to retire eventually.  The very bottom of Goog employees a few years ago were making at least $200k in salary, bonus & stonk options.  Lions would have to burn over $5k a year commuting, would have to stop doing much of anything at home, but would come out ahead of now.

Everyone at the Goog is an automatic multi millionaire after a few years of that & the raises.  If lions got in during their last application in 2019, they would be multi millionaires now.  The media doesn't like revealing that the layoffs only affected non technical roles.  They want to convey the existence of a widespread technology meltdown which hasn't really happened.

The modern regime of 6 hours of standardized testing for a job hasn't worked out as well as standardized testing did in school.  Lions had to study for it in school, but it was straight forward & had a narrower pool of questions.  For jobs, it's been a lot more open ended & possibly more impacted by lasting 6 hours instead of the 2 hours of a school test.  Job interviews also only get a few days of lead time where school tests would have months of lead time.  Those applicants spend months studying for interviews they're not certain to even get.

The last goog interview featured a problem of scheduling tasks in which you had to use a millisecond clock, a sorted list of tasks, & fire off tasks based on the current time.  Lions used their past experience managing a table of interrupts, which was much more difficult but necessary for nanosecond precision, & not possible to get right in a timed interview.

Another problem was describing how to read & write memory in an SMP system, what kind of operations it would need in order to prevent race conditions.

Forgot or erased the other questions, but they might have been easier.  There was one related to addressing a bitmap using bytes for every 8 pixels.

Different places either expect you to talk through a white board programming problem or expect you to just do it.  Goog is 1 place which expects you to talk through the solution but the current day job expects you to just do it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What impact will an AGI have on the stonk market?  It depends on the AGI's goal.  If it's goal was maximum valuation, it would gradually buy all of the stonk market through perfect trades until it owned all the stonk in the world & no cash. The stonk market would experience extreme deflation, infinite cost.  Animals wouldn't be able to buy shares for any price.  The only buying would be from IPOs, but the AGI would be the only one who made money.  Animals would always buy at a higher price than they sold & they would always sell to the AGI.

If it's goal was perpetual income for buying electricity or silicon, it would have to eventually sell.  It would probably cause volatility as it would own most of the stonk market.

   Amusing that Grok applied an IPv6 style pseudo header to the computation of an IPv4 ping packet, even though IPv4 doesn't use the pseudo header.       Another Grok error was in a basic TCP demonstrator.  To avoid a TIMED_WAIT on the server blocking the port, you have to exit the server without closing the socket.   These errors take a lot more time to track down than doing it the old way.  It might be fixed in paid versions of Grok. The solution to everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd Krispy Kreme run.  Always a satisfied mane after 6 miles.  Always a horrible bloating, after 13 miles.  Noted the half marathon times with mane feedings are on pace for the lion kingdom's best full marathon time.  Lions took a step down from their maximum power delivery in the shortest time when the leash enabled food breaks.  Before then...

The pianist was a hard movie to watch, over 3 days.  The lion kingdom isn't sure if it's more or less depressing than Schindler's List.  Many scenes in the movie were staged exactly like photos in kiwipedia.  WWII movies are generally easy to make, since there's an abundance of real, dire material. The period from 1990-2010 saw a shift from the rhetorical speeches of John Wayne, George C Scott, Charlton Heston to intimate views of desperate suffering & hunger.  Lions aren't sure whether movies lightened back up for millennials or if they stopped being made to keep millennials happy. It's not possible to know what's going on without realizing it's a true story & having prior knowledge of the fall of Warsaw, the ghetto, the uprising, the planned destruction, & the Warsaw robinsons.  Thus, it requires already knowing the ending. The lion kingdom was surprised he was outed by an attainable woman while the trophy wife helped him survive.  Most of ...

 The lion kingdom's 3rd or 4th rewatching of The Martian, not including the book, brought more questions than answers. https://heroineworshiper.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-martian.html     Surely, an explosive air lock event would have been confined to just the airlock & not damaged the mane greenhouse. The cycle fatigue would have manifested itself as a slow leak long before.  The book had him restarting some food growth after the explosion.  We now know a lot of bacteria can survive in space for a long time & we now have far more capability to send a resupply payload.  The business of traveling across the country to have every single dialog seemed overdone in 2025, but might have been more justified in 2015.  It was manely for dramatic effect. 10 years on, the clueless executive assistant is a world class hottie.  She's now 52. After 50 years of Mars movies, it's pretty boring.  Young lion 1st noticed how boring a purely red landscap...
