Do not do things that make you uncomfortable without good reason.

If you feel that interview process is not going as you expect it to go, you may just say:

" I understand that you have an established interview process that works for you, but it is not exactly as I imagined it.

Extensive interview process is a big time and energy investment. Before going this path I would like talk to the CEO to see if there is a match between what I could bring to the company and what company is looking for.

If it is not possible to have such a conversation, this is fine with me, I definitely do not want to push or convince you to do something you are not comfortable with.

But going throght the whole inteview process and realizing that there is no match only at the end is not really my flow. "

The drawback of this approach is that if they will reject your proposal for the meeting you will need to walk your walk.

It was not the only reason he was hired; it was a solid addition to his already good performance at the interviews.

Or at least that is what the hiring manager later said.


The paper uses BMI to measure overweight/obese, which is an approximate metric as it does not distinguish fat from muscles.

Based on my BMI, I am overweight. Based on my body fat percentage (measured by DEXA scan), I am athletic.

Conclusions from BMI are not exactly "Garbage in - garbage out," but I suspect that if the body fat percentage were used by scientists, conclusions would be more accurate and insightful.


BMI is very accurate for population level studies like this. People like you are outliers who don't significant affect the results. Just look around at people on the street. How many muscular athletes do you see?

For individuals then sure, ignore BMI and get an annual DXA scan.


I am one of the creators and maintainers of https://albumentations.ai/.

- 12800+ stars

- 1M downloads last month, 37k per day

- Paper about the project: 1500+ citations

- Used in 18k other repositories and 317 packages.

=> People use it.

But!

- 365 open issues

- 25 pull request

that hang for years

Only one sponsor.

And this is fine. People use the result of our work, but we do not feel that we are entitled / deserve / [some other vomit words] of more support.

In the beginning, we decided that we would do it:

- only for fan

- when and how we want it

- if some user is unhappy with our commitment or decisions

=> feel free to fork.

But!

We do enjoy when people thank us, create pull requests (we do review and merge them, although it could take time), or create feature requests or bug reports.

I can see open source as a great pet project that you do for fun and to improve your skills, but unless it is an OpenCore business or another setup where maintainers are financially compensated, all whiners and complainers can go and fuck themselves.

I would not recommend maintainers of the open source software even notice them.

If working on OSS is not fun - do not do it. Life is too short for unnecessary stress.


Reproducing should be easier than creating from scratch.

Waiting for someone will match GPT-4 and especially GPT4-V quality and latency.

And this would be the start of the battle, which could be bad for combatants but great for the rest of us.

Fingers crossed, it will happen soon. Not sure that early 2024 ill be that day, but let's hope.


It's only great for the rest of us until someone emerges a clear winner. Then the cycle starts over again.
