One of the coolest things about emoji is that you can go read the proposals submitted to the ESC of the Unicode Consortium!

I actually didnโ€™t appreciate how much the collision (๐Ÿ’ฅ) emoji didnโ€™t capture what the fight cloud one does.

Michael Carrell ๐ŸŽง๐ŸŽ™ (@producermike975) on Threads I know there's a rather large film releasing this week but please give some time to Rental Family. It's a beautiful film with great performances throughout that will have you laughing and crying. It's charming, endearing, and so many other adjectives. Director Hikari does excellent work bringing this wonderful story to the silver screen, really enjoyed it. Rental Family also subverted my expectations a bit, I thought I knew the type of feel good story I was walking into and I was wrong.

It's SO GOOD, highly recommend!!

#metacareers #interviewing #softwareengineering | Meta | 37 comments ๐Ÿ’ป Embracing AI-enabled coding interviews at Meta! We are excited to announce we are piloting a new, AI-enabled software engineer coding interview to reflect the evolving role of software engineers and how the job is changing. As a tech company, our engineers use AI coding assistants in their day-to-day work to solve complex, real-world problems, so itโ€™s important that our interviews reflect our current and evolving working environment. ๐Ÿค” What does this mean for candidates? If youโ€™re part of the pilot group, you are encouraged to leverage authorized AI tools during your coding interview. Itโ€™s not โ€œcheating,โ€ itโ€™s how the job is evolving. This approach allows you to brainstorm, iterate and solve problems in a way thatโ€™s closer to real-world engineering at Meta. Hear from our engineers working on this pilot ๐Ÿ‘‡ "I'm super excited for the AI-enabled coding interview; this new format enables engineers to actually execute their code, dive deeper into real practical problems, and lets candidates leverage AI to brainstorm and iterate." - Peter C., Software Engineer, Threads Product Team โ€œAI has fundamentally changed the way software is developed, bringing more challenging tasks within reach of each engineer. Metaโ€™s AI-first vision requires that we leverage the unbridled power of the AI-assisted engineering mind, which we would like to witness in our coding interview. Our modernized AI-enabled coding interview is a better representation of our work and of our mission as we build into the bold future. - Nicholas O., Software Engineer, Programming Languages and Runtimes Team At Meta, we are always evolving and adopting new technologies to empower our teams. We apply this same mentality to our recruiting experience, and we want to equip you with the tools you need to succeed while interviewing with us! #MetaCareers #Interviewing #SoftwareEngineering | 37 comments on LinkedIn

In the midst of all this AI discussion, I think an overlooked aspect is this excerpt from @dkthompโ€™s newsletter a while back.

Itโ€™s likely that AI skill will reach some asymptotic limit but humans might drift lower in our raw cognitive abilities over time [โ€ฆ]
