- As someone who works on the other side of this... if you're getting through 10 phone screens and not getting an offer, something is wrong with the way you're interviewing.
You've gotten 10 phone screens, so you can probably double your activity and get to 20. If you're actually going for jobs you're qualified for, 20 screens should net you ~3 offers, if not more.
My suggestion: record yourself on your interviews and have friends review the recording and offer critique. You have blind spots you need to address to achieve the outcomes you want.

- I've been consulting with Ambrook (https://ambrook.com/) who are working on this problem. Great team and worth checking out if you're looking at the space.
- Flipped around, but potentially the same takeaways:
Turns out building a true FSD car is almost as hard as a humanoid robot. They've already got a Boston Dynamic's-like robot dog internally, but it sucks at getting around a parking lot.
i.e. set your expectations of the arrival of true FSD on the car to whenever you think Tesla can actually deliver this robot.
- Couldn't agree more re: patient advocacy. My mom wrote a book -- a bit of a how-to guide -- for being effective in this role after her experience doing as much guiding her mom through terminal care for dementia.

- Malcolm Gladwell touches on this beautifully in the most recent season of Revisionist History:

- I found this article incredibly helpful in answering these questions: https://overreacted.io/a-complete-guide-to-useeffect/
- Extremely impressive.
That said, I am struck by how the inaccuracies in physics modeling start sticking out like a sore thumb the closer the visuals get to realism. After gawking at the ground and falling rocks in the first scene, I kept getting stuck on the weird movement of her ponytail. Also the landing of the first jump across the chasm.
Picking nits for sure; incredible work here.

- yeah, great, but what about adjusting for inharmonicity in the overtones? (partially /s)
a good explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_fU6yVxDZs
I am empathetic to the disappointment of older vehicle owners who have been promised this capability for years and still don't see it (because their hardware just can't -- and the hardware upgrade isn't coming either).
That said, the new Y with 14.1.x really does do as claimed.
