Seeing and navigating all the configs helped me build intuition around what my macbook can or cannot do, how things are configured, how they work, etc...
I also like that it ships with some cli tools, including an openai compatible server. It’s great to be able to take a model that’s loaded and open up an endpoint to it for running local scripts.
You can get a quick feel for how it works via the chat interface and then extend it programmatically.

I always hated doing and conducting coding interviews. When I became in charge of the interview process, I swore to myself not to have them.
I had to let go of a person after ~3 weeks in because he just didn't write any code. This was about 1 year post the ChatGPT moment.
He had lots of experience. Great communicator. Culture fit (or so I thought). Etc...
Interviews can provide a signal, but nothing trumps a month of working with someone. If both parties are open to it, a well paid short term contracting gig goes a long way.
That sounds terrible for all parties. You have to conduct the entire interview experience twice, the candidate has to conduct their job search twice, they may have declined another offer to accept yours, they may have had to relocate to accept your offer, if you're in the US they may have gone off health insurance and their new health insurance didn't start yet, etc.
While that avoids directly engaging with Twitter, I'd avoid even indirect contact. That said, I'm confident that most Twitter enagement is indirect anyway, via embeds, screenshots, and services like these.
Musk is part of the administration that has threatened to take European territory by force. He's meddling in—and funding according to some sources—extremism in Germany.
Neither he, nor his administration, have been overly bothered to characterize themselves as friends of Europe, and Europeans are returning the feelings.
> Noticed there is some serious anti Trump/musk campaign going on there.
And Americans should be very concerned about Trump's coup as well - because that's what it is. There is no level of sugar coating that can cover that up.
As if right wing media have a legitimate place in a democracy. It was and will only ever be a vehicle for fascism.
Maybe we Europeans enjoyed proper schools with history lessons and remember how Faschism played out last time?
Besides following US media is enough to know what Musk is about.
It's unfair to say that no right wing media has a right to exist. Media that is hostile to democracy should be stomped out, but because its hostile to democracy (or secretly a propaganda machine run by foreign influence), not because it's right wing.
If anything, that the classic right wing still exists, however much you might disagree with the ideology, is something to hope for.
My dad laments that "Caring about the environment used to be a Conservative position" and "We just need to take the effort to care about people who are different from us" and "I think the gun rights people take it too far and it's fine to have regulation on gun ownership".
But he didn't vote for a classic conservative. He voted for Trump.
Yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if the vast majority are more moderate than the two-party system can account for. And that consequently, the White House might be overestimating what they have popular mandate to do.
As somebody from Europe.. it is. The media is extremely biased and left-oriented. As soon as something is slightly more right leaning it immediately gets labelled as extreme-right here.
Wildly untrue, European media is very diverse, and where it sits on average from an American point of view varies from country to country. It may turn out to be not right-leaning enough for your personal tastes, but that doesn't mean it isn't from the PoV of that particular country.
Ah that's just the right trying to see the positive in everything. That is how they roll. If an immigrant murders someone they also wave it away as a bad apple that doesn't spoil the barrel.

Great way to spend an hour or two.
