Tabula Bio | Founding Machine Learning Scientist | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Full-time We use generative ML to design bacteriophages that treat antibiotic-resistant superbugs (b…

And we know what the adaptation is: calorie constraint. We evolved in a calorie constrained environment. We don't live in one now. Our set point for desire to eat is clearly too hi…

Nope, LLMs are quite functional in non-english languages. My partner regularly works with ChatGPT in Turkish

For one thing, viruses keep bacteria in check. Bacteria populations live in an equilibrium standoff with bacteriophages (viruses). The human gut contains more bacteriophage virions…

Indeed. It is common to not have changed your mind about the thing someone is upset about, but not feel good that they are upset. There needs to be a way to communicate that

Most employers on Triplebyte (90%) are hiring in the US currently. However, we're working on something that us going to change that (announcement coming soon).

As of 2 years ago, every profile on Triplebyte is not visible to recruiters unless an engineer explicitly makes it visible.

That was true of our process as it existed in 2017/2018 (and was a part of why that business was not viable). At this point, what we do is develop tests (backed by psychometric mod…

I’m the CEO of Triplebyte. I just looked into this, and we are not automatically making anyone's profile public without their consent. OP, it looks like you had set your profile to…

But how much more important? :) Sorry, could not help myself.

Hello! We're hiring a Head of Engineering to join our core leadership team. We're building a job search platform that puts engineers in control, solves the problem of recruiter gho…

That's exactly what the article we're all commenting on is about!

We experimented with this, as well as with trial periods (which are sort of the same thing, but with a time limit). Trial periods ended up being easier to think about and optimize …

We do have discounts for smaller startups (under $10m in funding). Happy to talk about that if you're interested. ammon@triplebyte.com

So, under the old model, order 200k engineers applied to us. Because we were exclusive gatekeepers, around 3% of those were "accepted" onto the platform. Around 2/3 of accepted can…

The main problem we had with the contingency model is that it resulted in companies using us for a few of their "hardest" hires, rather than as a bread-and-butter part of their rec…

I generally agree with the phrase "if you're not paying for a product, you're the product". But the market for engineers is just so lopsided that I think it's less true here. There…

I'd say that main value was that we opened doors for people (got them opportunities they would not have been considered for without us). I don't think what we need to be gatekeeper…

Fair comment. I certainly don't think of us as a market leader. LinkedIn is the market leader. Honestly, the last year has been pretty hard for us (COVID and the problems with our …

Companies do pay us. But I think that our real long-term incentives still pull toward building what engineers want, not what companies want. I think that platforms like LinkedIn an…

This is a perfect example of why we're making these changes (and the problem that came from us being a gatekeeper). There are lots of different ways to show skill. We don't want to…
