> this salary wouldn't attract strong talent even in medium cost-of-living countries (like portugal/spain).

median salary for a developer in Spain is $30,000 a year[1], so 50-80k would easily place them in the upper 10% of the scale.

I think americans need to really reflect on how inflated american dev salaries are.

I think this website's numbers are way too low for Spain and other EU countries, similarly to how their 76k $ average software developer salary for the US seems too low: https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Software_Developer/...

They likely have a different definition for software developer than myself.

I am not too familiar with the pro chess world nor the AI chess world. But did anybody try yet to make the AI always try to achieve a draw?

Just train it to make it win. Then, anytime it is a bit in front, perform suboptimal moves, until things are even (those engines typically have a score on whether they are in front or not).

We tested it for knowledge extraction against GPT-3. Unfortunately, it's only at the level of GPT-3's smallest ada engine (for which we have found no use). Nowhere near GPT3's strongest model davinci (for which we have a lot of use cases; for their second strongest model curie as well).

Having said that, I am very happy that eleuther.ai works on open-sourcing GPT-x. Eventually, it will be successful.

Hi HN, we are Become and help job candidates get a better job faster.

We write resumes/CVs and cover letters for them and apply to relevant job positions in their name.

In this submission, we are publishing a small tool we use to automate our work: a GPT3-powered rewrite tool for developer work experiences.

Happy to discuss anything related to writing resumes and cover letters with GPT3. Plus what to write to increase the probability for getting a job interview :)

I was quite astonished to see they made their internal handbook available in the open. It includes IMHO many treasures:

- Trade €1 for €2 personal developemnt or €4 stock options: https://handbook.wonder.me/Salary-benefits-stock-options-6a8...

- No meetings before 14:00 or on Thu: https://handbook.wonder.me/Protecting-focus-time-9fa96b7782b...

- On OKRs: https://handbook.wonder.me/How-we-set-goals-OKRs-276a058cd2e...
