how much leetcode should i do before i start applying?
i recently started leetcoding so idrk when to start applying
Just apply
just apply
what if i get selected for interviews or sumn and im still hot buns at leetcode
cuz i deadass started p recently
alr
what's best choice cuz im fine with not having a ft offer
which one am i better off as
sophmore?
does it lower their expectations in anyway?
aight
alr ye ik a decent amount
@mighty pike do u mind teaching me how to code n shit
ask @mighty pike π
i only know the basic std stuff
Is prefaulting like pre loading memory
essentially
Pre loading page?
you would call it on a newly allocated buffer
U use mmap
youre on the right path ya
you got it better than i did
much more
idk how mmap relates tho
oh the buffer would be mmap that you prefault on
From doing robotics
i get you
i like the optimization/determinism required for that kinda work
No for optimization the goal in general is to avoid syscall
wdym
making syscall is not time deterministic
yes i mean the goal is always worst case so optimization is technically that process
youre optimizing worse case runtime
I dont understand what u mean
mmap is just how you'd actually req the memory. it's effectively how malloc is implemented under the hood
ya took me a sec
gmis in the chat
But there's a better way to reducing loading memory from disk
yea before you'd have fun with nonsense like sbrk (which wasn't even meant to be used lol). I think you may enjoy poking around os dev to see what crazy shit people have tried to sub in memory alloc stuff with haha
all it is is that coding for max time deterministically is a form of optimization in itself
nah, that's just for synchronization iirc
all this to be replaced by ai
No
might be thinking of the wrong function then?
people who know all this stuff to the furthest level aint getting replaced till we retire
u think ai doesnt know this stuff to the furthest level
mlock(2) - Linux manual page https://share.google/c90tNMxgScs0k1Jtl
i dont think its gonna give you the result you want in a more efficient way for a company than hiring that engineer
lol
mlock
it will
my friend at YC, doesnt even code anymore
Lol yc
thats awesome
cool
Slops
anyways
Anyway mlock
I know for the level of knowledge I have (which isjust an OS class), AI can do it, but the problem is that OS class code is specifically structured for being "easy" for AI. Not extensible in smth like DynamoDB or wtv
Lock the pages
mlock doesn't actually map to a piece of memory, but I agree it's useful for this stuff. I was wrong about it being used for synchronization, think I confused it with locks in general haha
U were probably thinking bout flock lol
yea maybe, think I just defaulted to locks in general tbh
Ok ig u mmap then mlock
In any case, the more useful thing to do is improve data locality and cache hits, but the problem is that that's hard!
@frosty tangle this isnt necessary for my studying but im curious how does std::make_shared<T>(args) only create one heap alloc while std::shared_ptr<T>(new T(args) makes 2
I'm not very familiar with the internals of how CPP library functions work, so I won't be able to give a very good reason. I know that that specific shared pointer implementation already has a pointer object so it likely needs to also allocate space for the counter and stuff, while make shared probably wraps both into one alloc
real
thats chill beyond my scope anyways
at my company we just use agents π for everything ai is gonna replace swes
They r different things I'd say
Time determinism doesn't mean fast
It means the execution time is consistent
Or relatively stable
And that's more important than fast in some system
Fair enough! Defo was being a bit reductive
sorry.
dead ahhhh
we're just gonna be human wrappers for AI soon
Why is the chat so chill today it isnβt even the weekend
How cooked is applying junior with no prevs
i swear i see u everyday talking about how ngmi u r
Because I'm truly ngmi
just larp
I saw the wildest description for a scale ai data annotator on someones linkedin the other day
im ngmi im ngmi
that shit seems like such a scam im sorry
im sure its not
but i could not actually be bothered

I knew claude was a scam...
@crystal pendant got cooked
nah im a new gen
they told me i gotta sign the offer by tn or im not getting it cs ts closed yesterday bro. i hear back from twilio tmr + i have 1 more int, what do i do π
they wont budge with the offer deadline too 
sign today and if u get twilio just reneg
but what if they make me sign documents right after, i can still reneg?
yes nothing on the doc is forcing u to work there
they start the cohort next week on monday tho
You can still just leave
I know people who got onboarded for a week and still left for a better offer
sign and renge
do i just send a email saying i got another offer or like make something up
like family issues
js say u had family issues or some shi
do u care abt working there
in the future
js sign and renege then
hi szn
do u like that company? u will just burn the bridges but its fine since there are alot of opportunitys
hello
idk is dematic known?
chance are 100% u can reneg
internships are at will
they are not going to drag u to work π
im just doing it for the pay, the positions light π
its better than being unemployed
yes
internship most dont gaf
where are you trying to intern at next?
everywhere
also, they gave me offer for separate role from what i int for, and gave me like a day to accept π
larper

Bro Connecticut attorney general going after Roblox because of the sandy hook game
bro
roblox has the condo games
those are 9 million times worse
Whatβs even the legal grounds for this
Apple asked me to reapply again π«©
I heard nothing back
I think i know why
They relisted the same job posts
Cause i think they added term options
nice
show chip/cfa/panda
i want donuts
You got email today?
ill give u cream
Yeah reapplied a minute ago tho so prob doesnβt mean anything
Not gonna hear shite from them
LMFAO
an international english major as the one anecdote
living in one of the most expensive areas
douting where i should go
i have a crazy idea
how much behavioral matter for zon
half
cant belive i fumbed on the first behavioral and started blanking bro
what a chud moment
but my second interview was much better aced behav and tech
that first behav just fucked me cuz i havent interviewed since febuaray
hoping that doesnt cook me
arent u a zon hater
me?
ye
im only a zon hater if i get something better or somethine worse
so if u dont get zon
situational hater
my interviweres were super chill tho
cant belive i fumbled on a behav of all things
after all that time grinding lc
none of the techs were even lcπ
they were what
lld?
ood
is this ng?
yea
yea
was 27 ng or 26?
26
yeah pretty much
one of them was litteraly building a deck fo cards
what does that evne mean
with a shuffle method
think this is a lc problem
and a draw method to pop the card on top and show the card
bassically build a deck of cards
hopefully that one behav doesnt come back to bite me
oh shoot nvm
is it lc style design?
i havent done a lot of ood
GUYS
WE GOTTA PU TO A GURRY CONVENTION
An 18+ furry convention in the Capital Region, NY.
word on the street is u can farm referrals there
yeah pretty much
Where da link at
ood?
what are you guys talking about
oh the google event
yeah
the trolls are gone
yah idrc for gatekeeping
z2s in the making
this girl reading from a script
yeah LOL
might as well be talking to ai
WTF is hotels on search
probably when u search for hotels
STEP?
why are these people all like 5x interns
definitely are
Holy FAAAAH bro
is this an advanced robot
this is the most AI ahhhh thing Iβve heard
LOL
What is bro yapping about
Nah the bar has gone to shit
Literally reading off a screen
Did bro use AI in the interviews too π
Whatβs this event about
Women in tech
Least unscripted google event
Imma peep the nvidia event
How do they take attendance at google event
there's a little thing
that says "want to be included in atendees list"
or somehting liek that
So i dont have to listen to the whole thing?
dont think so u can just mute it
but they might like
idk amybe they'll post some special survey
they got nothing on keshav
why it so silent
maxine seems chill
Hi
hi
hi
Howβs life yall
sucks
what
typed what
Ah damn
I hope it gets better
lmao his message got deleted
π
oh are there actually mods now LOL
lol
LOL
they don't want a repeat of the ng event
the ng event was so fucking funny
Or else Iβm COOKED
fr
just be unemployed like the rest of us
overrated
what happened
lock in
a lot of people were trolling in chat
Fr I need to
Need to do smth gmi with my projects
Gonna build like a tool to fix the refs for OKC vs Spurs
Iβm gonna be loved for years
lmaoo
π
Neuralink
What company is this
bro they all step
they literally gave no useful info either
is it cuz we registered
on the application timeline
Yo was Ashley using the nvidia eye thingy?
its prolly the thing at the beginning
thats the only way i guess
so we all getting DC
no
ahh i must have missed what you guys are talking about in the beginning of it\
be smart
Juliana save me...
kevin quo zhao save me
@dark bane save me fr
im cooked
Everyone is going to be unemployed with the sole exception of Kevin Quo Zhao of course
just do something unique
when do summer 27 internship postings for general swe start posting
also this isnt a huge worry of mine but i heard in the quant world a decent amount of companies use exploding offers (i forget if this is for jobs or actual internships), do i have to somewhat worry ab this for swe too (not like im planning on getting a lot of offers but still)
yea july through december is when its probably peak 27 recruiting time
is there another google event?
what are exploding offers
As a hypotetical what happens if I hack into McDonaldβs and make everything a dollar,
so many events today jesus
huh? there's only 1
there was one today
like u have X days to accept the offer or it explodes on u
bassically if u dont accept in x days u get withdrawn
damn its over?
u can ask for an extension
big tech doesn't do exploding offers
u dont have much flexibility
quant idk
i mean yea but im planning on applying to as many apps as possible from as early as possible and idk if its ok to apply to a bunch of no-name companies earlier in july if they would have exploding offers in a month anyway when i still want to apply to bigger companies that open later in the fall
I lowke need to get better at LC π
Got interviews but I thought I did well but ig not
lol
let's speedrun 150
lc is so hit or miss tho
see who can get the better record
feel like im wasting my time
I did 250 last summer lol, Iβll prob redo it
what else would u wanna do tho
like the last time i got asked lc was for sofi in feb
nah
Did it for the sake of doing it tbh, I need to rlly understand what I need to do
lol
U good nw
for intern?
do companies test for sys design for entry lvl interns?? im taking sys in the fall and i only know dsa π
Lowke exposed a lot of my work ethic
they ask sys design?
Yeah
π
Rare but I got it
yes they're testing it now
sys design shouldnt be on intern interviews
it is
oh well fuck amazon
Amazon for sure
i think tiktok
lol
its not common at all
havent seen much of amazon ask sys design tho
ummm
its mostly just a coding question and LPs
even new grad it would be like <1/4 of interviews
I ran a study and I talked to 54 ppl and 3 ppl got it π 2 were masters
lol
maybe like 3% of the time u get a sys design question
yeah makes sense
Was a shame bc my other round was LC and I aced it so fast
dont study it unless its explicitly stated for your interview
π but my manager round was sys design
its not a priority at this level
interviews are so rng bro
If anything, Iβll still study it regardless
i wasted 3 weeks grinding lc
non of it showed up
genuinely wouldve been better off practicing behavioral
yeah just how it is tbh
Just grind for the next one
i had my first interview in like 3 months just 15 min chat and i lowkey forgot how to talk
getting a job takes a large amount of luck
What happens happens, if it works then good. If not then keep ur head up and itβll work out after

I hope
lol
i mean yeah its rarer
i wouldnt say its "harder"
liek applying takes zero effort
compared to interviewing
harder to land how about that
Good thing is next semester Iβm not taking as much classes
So I can lock in
Been doing 19 hours every sem of college
good move
19 is crazy
π Lowke could be a big reason why I donβt feel like doing anything unrelated to college
lol
honestly if you really care about maximizing your career sometimes its better to put recruiting over school in priority
true
school doesnt rlly matter unless ur trynna go grad for whatever reason
with no previous big internship experience
And graduate early
lol
I very much uh
Doubt so
But yeah
yeah bro js spam internships
dont need you just need some decent experience which sounds like you have
i had no big tech last year
I mean Iβll def try for both
lol
Realistically speaking
Would prefer like
A summer internship
Relax senior year and then go somewhere grad
whens your set grad
But if I somehow get smth decent ng, I do have the option
Rn Iβm supposed to graduate like May 28
2028*
But I have the option to do May 2027 if need be
lol
bro ur chilling
eh i think the new grad will be harder i would focus efforts mostly on intern
may 2028 is like 2 summers from now
not to say cant apply for ng but they will likely gloss over you
oh shi u had zon int today right
was it all behav or what π
yeah
Oh yeah Iβll def do both, itβs just different timings no?
they also can see a lack of experience
Intern is more fall, then NG is spring
nah it just wasnt lc like i spent all my time preparing for
Fair
youre competing against people with much more on you
Fair lol
intern pool is much much easier than ng in this market
i did the techs but i fumbled one behav ques
Yeah prob smart to do intern first
oh shi u got ood stuff or what i heard thats the alternative question now
like am i cooked if i didnt know what aws iam is?
its hard
fuhhh just one tho shouldnt be bad theres like 4-6 total behav q no?
Oh r u masters?
yeah both were ood kinda. the first one was more of a tree question with file paths
no im bachelors
they asked that? π
naw this year
ou shi put me on game bro ima just be prepping
yeah it was the very first ques of my first interview so kinda set a bad tone
yeah he saw it on my resume nd was like
whats aws iam
Ah damn
Do u got stuff lined up alr?
i deadahh might extend grad cuz of this π
I wanna see if I can somehow get a fall lol
fuhhh hope u recovered from that
My resumes like half decent, just add stuff and go lol
not lined up yet just interviews and even then most ive talked to put me on hold until summer
Iβll obv work and apply at the same time
they ask resume q now oh na π
just prep behav questions, know ur resume well and be prepared for gen ai questions. the techs are completely random so just be good at coding ig?
when i did for the jr dev it was straight behav
shit thre me off bro
then lc/ood
as december im mostly put into the 2027 grad pool
like bro do ppl who use aws s3, ec2 know what iam is?
betski preciate that
dude trivia is buns i got it for visa when i was expecting lc/sys design
are u dumb gang
helll nawww bro π
do yk what team u was int for
son i never used aws in a prod enviroment
imma have to save that q to catch aws larpers
in kr wandering
i think he knew there were larpers and asked that ques for that
Nice nice
it wasnt even in one of my projects it was just in my tools and technologies
Rip π
lol
most likely fried
yea we dont do that here gang
hella funny tho
na i believe bro
yes thats catastrophically bad lol
gg π
thats like u applying for discord mod and not knowing what role permissions are
btw
wait wait what u say for ur answer @austere path
well atleast now i know
negative ev for me sorry
i wont get my hopes up
not knowing iam is kinda crazy
Bro rlly asked how to make lemonade with lemons and he asked if it was necessary
cold email
tbh

i was like yeah i know what iam means (identity access management) but i didnt use aws in prod enviroment only for projects
and he was like yeah its kinda foundational
u just said u knew it?
Lowke just might some gym cs ppl who work at companies, send a video of an impressive lift and ask for an interview with my resume
BROTEIN SHAKE
i said i know what the term "iam" stands for
but im not familiar with aws iam and i never used it in prod only for projects
oh my days... π
and he was like yeah its foundational, entry point bla bla , and i was like i should do more research on that and then he moved on
hopefully u clutched the other questions tho
i mean
dang brah did u try to rebound the question or na
i did the other behavs apart from the first behav i fumbled. and then i did the technical so
@austere path was this AWS data services fall?
and my second intv with the manager was super green on all sides so
nah
he moved on super fast lmao
nah just regular sde
dangg at least u know for now
anyone do xai intv pls dm
well after knowing this i wont be suprised if i get rejected
so it wont be a let down
i wouldnt say ur completely out the game
true
whys he saying "im sorry" alreadyπ
fax bro still in the running
first one was iffy second one was great
i believe π
if that ques rlly pulls me down thats crazy
Might have another sdm round or smth
its lowk insane like some question earn you zero points
but like if u miss them
ur cooked
Was second one also ood
dangerous ques bro
Iβm just a dsa monkey
Lc ood is just optimizing in the constructor to avoid repeated work and then doing some bs
is this nvda event even anything
he mogs tho
weather app
cap
isnt step dead
didnt they just relabel it?
fake google internship
jorked it at a random company
fair
im larping with gsoc 2026 as a first year, id like to keep the pace
Tf what company
if STEP is out the window, what else is out there x.x
i think the week after i signed the stock hit a 52w lo of 7.70
too many sweats
Orz viasat
Bro that is not a random company
dawg
Better than random f500s
hows zon?
i dont even think theyre f500 theyre known among us cuz they have a lot of swe internships
it still exists but it's just integrated into the general application
iirc
music to my ears
i think the bar is still the same now tho
like iirc its like the spots got folded into the regular swe internship
ive only got like one serious project, rest is pretty much ass
like the spots are still there
are u t20 school
school pill is real
yes
t5?
nope sadge
you can prolly get zon if u lie on your graduation date
@true orbit viasat is niche you dont get it
maybe itβs cuz Iβm in SoCal and I know ppl that were there
thank you guys for the help
the main viasat office is SD right
hopping off for now ciao
I love sd
sd is peak living
top remote company in sd is the dream
wait name drop in dms
bout 40 mins north
oh carlsbad?
nail on head
older u wouldnβt know
rip
hq is nice tho
honestly hot take viasat about the best wlb you can get for that pay if you want any more pay no company will be softer
wats the ng pay
can u just larp around
is it true that if ur ng pay isnt at least 200
laze around
u failed
permanent underclass
kinda like i know some guys who on like the last day of work their manager took them out surfing all friday on the clock
wait thats tuff
like its not 20 hours work but theyre very nice with it
this nvidia event is so real
do i have to stay till the end
can u let me know if there are qr codes or smth
i left halfway
do not check snowflake stock after hours
yah ill dm
yo break the bread bro let US have the qr codes
yo lemme get that
π₯
yo dm the qr code
why
Why are remote internships decreasing so much π
I saw a total of 11 internship programs and NOT ONE of them was remote π
Your group is on a 39 day streak! π₯ Here are yesterday's results:
π 5/6: @neon wren
Bro just move for the internship
itβs a single summer
Itβs not that easy man π
I donβt have my own money
donβt do unpaid internships
u gotta larp unpaid as paid until u actually get paid tho
has anyone gotten de shaw summer 2027 proc? recruiter just viewed my linkedin π
All my internships were remote
I love remote personally
Fuck driving
what if ur company gave u free housing in like a hotel?
fair
thats different
theyβve viewed mine 20 times over the past month
pure edging
π«©
say swear π
swear
bruh
iβve rarely see heads get de shaw proc anyways
every firm that has viewed mine gave me proc
yea same jus de shaw being picky
DE Shaw
got proc but no recruiter views
how to get xai
iβll let u know if i pass the intvs
thanks!
Thatβs great! Idk why in my country remote internships are basically dead. Everyone wants the employees to be on site and thatβs not fair for students π
Something something itβs better to learn on site
Iβve never asked this here, but at what time did you guys get your first real internship? Iβm not talking about take a course and get a certificate type shi. Like when did you FIRST actually work with the company & its people? In what year of uni? Or before / after that
My first real one was junior summer to senior year
I totally agree with that but that basically means that students who donβt live in the most well established cities donβt get any internships because they need to attend uni
Thatβs awesome!
Internships during summer
does quickly applying matter as much for quant as it does for big tech?
esp for the ones that come out now
i applied for xai hella late and got the proc so idk it doesnβt really matter
Does anyone have Optiver SWE Question Bank DM?
i have no fuckin idea wtf ur talking about]
goat...
is it bad to apply for both intern and ft if ur not 100% sure on masters
no
On-site internships are generally more fun tbh
im so confused on how ppl get amazon
without having much past experience or past internships
like i always thought u needed to be hella cracked and have multpiple past internships/exp to get selected
im genuninly so confused
with the amount amazon accepts i see it
get lucky
There r many ways to get internship and different role or hm often have different hiring criteria

riggen tuff bro
