• Never ask a candidate to rate themselves out of 10

• Oldest cave art found showing humans and pig

  Fortunately, Yonatan (who was in fact the main engineer working on Google+) reposted it to Medium: https://medium.com/@yonatanzunger/how-the-price-of-paint-is-set-in-the-hearts-of-dying-stars-c33e520186a8 After he wrote it I pointed out most historical barns in many parts of the US are white, using whitewash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash) which doesn't really change the conclusion of the article, which... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• Show HN: ELI5 Powered by GPT-3

  Yes I believe doing something like that is probably possible but it would require a bit of "glue code". In fact, someone launched something related recently: https://thisresumedoesnotexist.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
