Cider has worked the best for me. I've used Cursive in Intellij but I ran into a lot of issues where it would not trip the debugger for some reason where Cider worked fine.
I have not tried that yet, no. For me the goal isn't just about shortening often repeated commands, as though the limitation were purely about character input speed, it's more of a contemplative practise of learning how to notice and respond to that internal prompt that says "I wish I could say that more succinctly" or "There has to be a better way to do this". And then either telling my mind work on those questions, or being open and receptive to coming across something relevant on the topic, or seizing a moment of inspiration to write a time-saving script or come up with a meaningful (to me) alias.
I totally agree on the hallucination front, that is a big problem.
But the privacy thing is less of a concern if we are only talking about "using" (not training) these medical models. You could upload your entire medical history to such a model within the context window, and then provide your latest symptoms to get a diagnostic from the LLM. The LLM has not remembered any information about you at this time (it isn't "within" the model itself), it is only in the context window.
Anyway, just pointing out that there is a world of difference between training these models and using these models. If you are only using, there is really very little fear of privacy assuming the whole interaction is discarded.
Wow, naive, but I didn't even know companies would ever put you in a shared hotel room? Nothing actually wrong with it I guess, I just assumed that legal would freak out if it was even suggested.
Why? When I worked in support and services at my big tech company, everyone below staff level had to have a roommate at our annual conference. My wife’s business encourages people to double up as well.
A company I worked for 20 years ago tried to save money by foisting that policy off on us, and I flat-out refused. I don't remember what reasons I gave them, but I still remember the shuddering feeling of tightness across my upper back when I thought about it.
States should mandate that time spent at a job interview must be paid proportional to the average rate of the position you are applying for. This includes take home work!
The reason for this is that if I know you are spending as much as you might spend for an employee on interviewing me, then I know that you are serious about this being a possibility.
This also means you can't send a take home to 1000 candidates, review a few tens of them, and then hire 1. A process I think is rather common at many shops.

Beware of unintended consequences. One of the reasons mentioned in the article for why interviews were so long is that companies are risk adverse and don't want the risk of being saddled with a bad employee. If you mandate that interviews must be paid, the same dynamic would apply. Specifically, companies would care even more about your resume/linkedin/experience, because they don't want to waste money on marginal/inexperienced candidates.
My approach for take-home work is to offer to pair on it with the hiring manager or one of my future team-mates. This way it's mutual and I see how it'll be to work with that person as well. If that seems like a ridiculous waste of time for one of their employees, well...
I live in Oakland. There have been many luxury towers built in Oakland in the last few years. The strangest thing to me is that all of them boast about having gas ranges. Always seems a bit surprising that gas is still considered more luxury than electric (induction even)?
