Because I work on AI, people sometimes email/DM me and ask for a meeting to discuss their ideas about a paper/project. I already have a lot on my plate so collaborating with them is not an option. Still, I often read their messages and agree to chat, despite having a tight schedule. Sometimes the conversation goes like this:

Them: Can we talk sometime this week?
Me: Sure, how does Friday 2pm sound?
Them: Can we do it earlier, like 11am?
Me: I can’t, there’s a seminar I have to go to.
Them: Okay, 2pm actually works for me.

At this point, they’ve already shown their disrespect for my time: 2pm would work for them but they prioritized their convenience over mine. But it gets worse: these people typically then ask me to send them a calendar invite or Zoom link!

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

	Jeff has two brothers and each of his brothers has three sisters and each of
	the sisters has four step brothers. How many step brothers does each brother
	have?

	<think> Okay, so I've got this problem: Jeff has two brothers, and each of his
	brothers has three sisters. Then it says that each of the sisters has four step
	brothers. The question is asking how many step brothers each brother has.

	Hmm, let me start by breaking down the information piece by piece. First, Jeff

	<think> okay, let's try to figure out this problem step by step. so jeff has
	two brothers. that means there are three boys in total: jeff and his two
