I thought you were wrong so I went googling and someone did the experiment and you are correct. Option 2, adding the milk later, cools fastest: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/get-naked/experiments/whe...

The graph on that page explains it much better than any of the text explanations can.


There are two subtleties here that MBA/Finance bros always miss out on brain teasers. First subtle point is that it makes no difference at all in which order you do the mixing, if additional cooling of milk for two minutes while it is still in the refrigerator is also taken into account, for the second option.

The other even more subtle point is that temp (unlike pressure) doesn't equilibrate instantaneously, as is assumed in the second option. It is a diffusive process which follows a complicated parabolic partial differential, equation, whose solution will determine the final temp of the tea+milk+partial adiabatic convection cooling of the cup. It took Fourier a detour through Complex numbers to figure it out.

I find all LLMs do quite well when presented with a well poised engineering/physics/chemistry problems with well defined parameters, including relativistic or second order effects. The confusion/hallucination is mostly imparted on them by user's lack of sophistication in articulation, or computational limitations.


This site: https://www.topresume.com/

Will show you how an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) will view your resume, including how much management experience it thinks you have. It can take a few hours to get a response, but it's the only site I've found with a free ATS evaluation.

I've also been using these sites to find issues with my resume and they provide instant responses:

https://app.tealhq.com/home - 15 free AI generated achievements and a lot of the feedback is only available if you pay, but it still highlights where the issues are.

https://resumeworded.com/ - limit of 6 free uploads, and 2 credits with their Magic Write AI


I wonder if anyone has done any metrics about resume's that got filtered out by an ATS, but somehow got hired by a FAANG company anyway?


Meta have emailed saying they have a "legal basis called legitimate interests for using your information to develop and improve AI"

They provide a link to a form to object to this processing where you can provide answers to the following two questions:

Please tell us how this processing impacts you. (Required)

Please provide any additional information that could help us review your objection. (Optional)

On what grounds can I object?


and even if we have government 1 now, we could always have government 2 after the next election


It depends on the quality of the meetings. My last job I hated them for all the reasons you said. My current job they are enjoyable and productive. That's because the agenda is a "living" document that anyone can edit during the week, and the meetings stop when we've nothing left to discuss or need to get back to work


That's true. At my last job the meetings basically served as a way for the manager to broadcast stuff that could've just been sent out in an email and then collect updates on what everyone has been working on which also could be done with email. There was almost no back-and-forth to it at all, yet the damn thing took 2 hours per week. A huge waste of time!


A way to make a few bucks for your side projects might be to do polls/surveys and get paid via Paypal or Amazon vouchers:

There's a Chrome Extension for Gmail and Outlook for web that helps you send more confident emails by warning you when you use words which undermine your message.

I just use a bash alias for striping colors:

     alias stripcolors=' sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[mGK]//g"'


Thank you for introducing me to babushka style "Check - Set - Check" methodology. I assume you meant this:

Sounds like what I see when I press my fingers (gently) onto my closed eyelids. I think it's the different layers of the visual cortex trying to find edges/patterns in something that doesn't have any.
