πŸ’» 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 it’s important that our interviews reflect our current and evolving working environment. πŸ€” What does this mean for candidates? If you’re part of the pilot group, you are encouraged to leverage authorized AI tools during your coding interview. It’s not β€œcheating,” it’s how the job is evolving. This approach allows you to brainstorm, iterate and solve problems in a way that’s closer to real-world engineering at Meta. Hear from our engineers working on this pilot πŸ‘‡ "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 β€œAI has fundamentally changed the way software is developed, bringing more challenging tasks within reach of each engineer. Meta’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 other AI news, Meta launched a new AI-enabled SWE coding interview!

Instead of the "leetcode" questions that have been around for more than a decade (and are trivial to solve with AI), we're piloting a new format that:
- enables code execution so you can […]

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

It’s likely that AI skill will reach some asymptotic limit but humans might drift lower in our raw cognitive abilities over time […]

Google's nano banana image model is pretty nuts -- I feel like they've fully solved character & face consistency even with pretty wild style edits 🀯

It's also interesting to see them lean into this in terms of marketing alongside the Gemini name. It's the only […]

My main use case for running LLMs locally has been… when the flight WiFi goes out!

I’m playing through wind waker again on an emulator and got stuck a few times during the sailing sequences. It’s super convenient that you can download a model that compresses the […]

Loved this quote from Abundance (which I discovered from @dkthomp's newsletter):
