The interview is in 1 week. I have a background in RL and already have some ideas on questions and topics, but I also want to source questions outside of the Alberta RL bubble. Technical questions are the best, though I am open to anything. Thank you!
I’ll post an update in this thread in a couple weeks after the interview is published.
