Day 118 of 133
Design image generation product (DALL-E / Midjourney scale) + DSA review
GPU capacity & queueing; cost; safety filters (NSFW/IP/deepfake).
DSA · NeetCode Math & Geometry
- Multiply StringsDSA · Math & Geometry
Interview questions to prep
- Where does integer overflow / negative input / zero hide here, and how do you guard against it?
- Can you derive a closed-form solution, and how does it compare to the iterative one?
- Walk through edge cases: 0, 1, max int, min int, negative input.
ML System Design · Image generation
Interview questions to prep
- Walk me through designing an image-generation product end-to-end.
- How would you handle GPU capacity, queueing, and cost?
- Where do prompt processing, text encoding, denoising, safety filters, and storage fit in the serving path?
- How would Stable Diffusion's latent-space generation change your cost and latency design compared with pixel-space generation?
- What would you cache or precompute for repeated image-generation prompts without creating unsafe reuse?
Interview questions to prep
- How would you build safety filters for an image-generation product?
- How do you handle IP / artist-style mimicry concerns at scale?
