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.

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.

Fixing the Firefox issue - thanks for pointing that out.

This interview is for Machine Learning Intern. We've worked hard to make our voice AI natural-sounding and intelligent enough to ask thoughtful questions.

We also have more info about how to sign up as a recruiter here: https://ribbon.ai/recruit

Who is today's Feynman? Someone making an outsized impact on science or engineering AND a brilliant teacher producing lasting materials.

Show HN: Personally tailored interview questions and answers

axg11 — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 17:40:21 +0000

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.

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

axg11 — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 13:51:32 +0000

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 "Import from LinkedIn" which allows you to easily import your experience and then get others to verify it (if you wish!). We're focused on building out more features for our profile pages, we want to give you as much customizability as possible. Your Ribbon profile page should be the best place to show off your skills and experience.

New comment by axg11 in "Meta stops ordering new parts for Quest Pro"

axg11 — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 21:33:03 +0000

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.
