Now ppl might disagree but. If I train an ai for translating problem to code similar to gpt-3 I can cheat my way pass the final rounds doing this shit from home.

Yes it’s 5-12 months way from being open sourced. google gave free access to their tenser flow to their ecosystem so it cost nothing.

Fb transcoder translates code to code. Gpt-3 is great at translating code to English. I played with it.

It’s just auto complete predict algorithm that trains on a large scale.

If in 2-3 year this current system is going to be mostly replaced because ppl can just cheat.

Why the fuck does everyone worry about leetcode it’s going away soon anyways!!

    It’s probably less effort to churn some lc than to implement this machine learning ai to solve the problem. If you truly programmed that out then you probably deserve the engineering job you were going for anyways

      I did some of the dev. But its not all me I did 0.1% of the work lol. I was not even referring to my self. I just know the individuals that are working on it. It’s very close to reaching gpt-3 levels and it will be full open source including the models.

      Uber, what you're not considering is some people find this work more fun and interesting.

      I'm not great at LC, but I've built a lot of cool and open source tools that were used by thousands of people.

  • I know covid is putting a lot of stress on all of us but I sure hope Google’s Flow doesn’t get any more tenser🥺

      Well I did it once. Not proud of it. But once the genie is out of the bottle I had to test it. I had a script that did speech to text. and I had a key word to optimal algorithm example prompt set. I only setup 20 examples. to find optimal patterns to solve a problem given a description. I had a screen in the background that displayed the text back. It told me to use a modified merge algorithm. i was thinking heaps and it was right. It’s like Siri that works might not be perfect but I can see how you can just build a filter and have a layer over it to make it better. It's better for learning stuff fast. Send it code it returns 6/10 times simple easy and concise descriptions of the code explaining to me like I’m 10 years old.

      Wait, why would this approach be better than just googling the problem in the middle of the interview?

      Becuase interviewer can catch it , the video call can easily capture when you type something and nothing comes on screen and you might be blocked from company for cheating. Also interview requires you to continuously speak to interviewers, so searching and understanding solution might be difficult without getting caught.

    Did an interview today, they just showed me their design and asked my opinion. I offered my opinion. They seemed to be satisfied.
