I wrote an in-house one for Ribbon. If there’s interest, will open source this. It’s amazing how much better our LLM outputs are with the reducer.

Two-way interaction is of course valuable but it's only valuable with the team you'll actually be working with. You will never work with the recruiter who is responsible for your screening interview.
Re:Show HN: Recruit AI – try a natural voice interview on Tuesday June 25, 2024 @10:58AM (#40789455)
I've heard this sentiment. Have you been through a screening interview with a recruiter before? It's most often very formulaic and they don't have expertise in your domain. On top of that you have to find a mutual time that works for the recruiter 9-5pm.

With this approach you can interview anytime 24/7 and get a consistent experience.

I just launched Interview+ on Ribbon. Interview+ generates personally tailored interview questions and answers based on your resume.If you have an interview coming up and you're stuck on questions to practice for or not sure how to answer the questions, Interview+ should get you unstuck.

Re:Show HN: Deep search of all ML papers on Wednesday January 24, 2024 @12:01PM (#39119666)
I would change the main CTA to "Try it now" and then use a different style for "Read the stats". It currently looks like there are two equally important CTAs.

If you can find a way to make the results closer to real-time, this will be a really popular product.

Show HN: Ribbon – import and verify your LinkedIn experience

Hey HN - I'm building Ribbon, it's a new professional network centred around verifiability.We were initially motivated by how much clickbait there is in the LinkedIn news feed. I've heard from a lot of LinkedIn users who love the network and profile page aspect of LinkedIn, but want to get away from the engagement bait and toxic content. So that's exactly what we're building.We just launched...

This is a sensible strategy. Apple finally revealed their cards after 5+ years of rumours surrounding the Apple Vision Pro. Meta doesn't have the brand strength to launch a true high-end XR headset that can compete with the Vision Pro. Instead, they're trying to capture the lower end of the market.
Go one level deeper and you'll find the problem with all of academia (source: I have a PhD).

Most of academic science as we know it today is structured so that the output is "publishable" and/or helps future grant applications. Incremental improvements are very publishable, but that doesn't necessarily make good science. Grants are awarded to scientists who are consistently able to deliver results, in the form of published papers. I can only really speak for my little corner of science, but from my view, the entire incentive structure of science is broken.

Show HN: Ribbon – employee recognition owned by the employee

https://www.ribbon.cool/

Ribbon is a public employee recognition platform. You earn awards on Ribbon, issued by employers. You can display these awards on your profile, share them, and use them as proof of achievements.Why use a blockchain for these awards? If the company disappears, you're laid off, fired, etc. you will always maintain access to this data. This is even true for Ribbon. We can't deny you access to your...

Re:Hacker found over 80 secret unapproved ChatGPT Plugins on Friday March 24, 2023 @11:19AM (#35290206)
I don't think _this_ is a security check. These are essentially unlisted plugins. They will be released/approved and this is a way to allow some user to test the plugins (different client side software).
Re:Ask HN: What's a good open-source alternative to Cloudflare? on Wednesday February 15, 2023 @12:50AM (#34800561)
What would it even mean to be an open source Cloudflare? The entire point of Cloudflare is that they run the tricky stuff for you. As another user said here, you can use nginx and lots of other OSS to achieve the same end goals. You will work much harder for it though.
Re:Yahoo is making a return to search on Monday January 30, 2023 @08:28PM (#34589594)
A key detail a lot of people are missing about "traditional" search vs. ChatGPT style search:

ChatGPT/LLMs can essentially crawl _anything_ they want, regardless of legality, license, consent, etc. These models are trained on anything that can be ingested. Once trained, you can release the model with plausible deniability. There's no 1:1 relation between ingested content and outputs. LLMs that "cheat" by ingesting content they shouldn't have will have an advantage over those that don't.

Google and other search engines don't have this luxury. If they serve a result, they have to make sure that they're not violating any license. If they crawl the wrong content, they have to make sure they don't serve it.

Re:Talking About Large Language Models on Saturday December 10, 2022 @12:19PM (#33934424)
I disagree that LLMs are overhyped, but it's very subjective. Are current LLMs a few steps from AGI? No. Will LLMs change the computing landscape? Yes, I believe they will.

ChatGPT, without any major changes, is already the best tool out there for answering programming questions. Nothing else comes close. I can ask it to provide code for combining two APIs and it will give useful and clean output. No need to trudge through documentation, SEO-hacked articles, or 10 different Stack Overflow answers. Output quality will only improve from here. Does it sometimes make mistakes? Yes. There are also mistakes in many of the top SO answers, especially as your questions become more obscure.

Aside from programming, how many other fields are there where LLMs will become an indispensable tool? I have a PhD and ChatGPT can write a more coherent paragraph on my thesis topic than most people in my field. It does this in seconds. If you give a human enough time, they will be able to do better than ChatGPT. The problem is, we're already producing more science within niche scientific fields than most scientists could ever read. As an information summary tool, I think LLMs will be revolutionary. LLMs can help individuals leverage knowledge in a way that's impossible today and has been impossible for the last 30 years since the explosion in the number of scientific publications.

Re:What's the Least Impressive Thing GPT-4 Won't Be Able to Do on Thursday December 08, 2022 @02:30PM (#33912109)
ChatGPT is actually quite good at this and I think it's a hint at the future of alignment. Many (most?) of the responses from ChatGPT are along the lines of: I don't know, I can't know, I can't respond, etc. It's still far from perfect but I think exploring the results of human feedback for alignment is one of the reasons OpenAI decided to release ChatGPT rather than rush straight to GPT4 (larger model, more data, retrieval, etc.).
