Ask HN: Why not openai hire using a kaggle competition?
Why openai hiring is not so open?
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoThe obvious answer is they want people to develop new things instead of plug together existing things.
- master_yoda_1 10y agoIt does not look like you know what kaggle is? Try to contribute to a kaggle competition then you would know. By the way once Jeff Hinton himself participated in a kaggle competition in a team :)
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoI am familiar with kaggle, and from my reading of postmortems what I'm seeing is that winning is a matter of finding the right packages to use in the right ways. This is the difference between theory and practice. If you care about practice, hire from kaggle. If you care about theory (as presumably openai does), then don't.
- master_yoda_1 10y agoTRY TO CONTRIBUTE TO A KAGGLE COMPETITION AND GET IN TOP 10 AND THEN GIVE YOUR OPINION. OTHERWISE JUST KEEP KALM AND BE HAPPY.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoHow many kaggles have you been in, and how well have you performed?
