reminds me of a certain car trunk scene in Simon Pegg's "Kill Me Three Times" (although it used a custom foam insert and not vacuum-formed plastic)

This isn't the Albanian people's first rodeo...

fixed it

"comprising" and "consisting of" have very different meanings in patent law, but I expect most people would consider them synonymous.

the UX of that site is quite bad actually. arrow keys and PgUp/PgDn won't scroll the text, and the panel wants to resize horizontally when a person tries to engage the vertical scrollbar

this is just an ad

Indeed. A compelling one at that. I also vote for a 'demo' article so we can see what to expect if we subscribe.

Reading that part of the post leads me to conclude that Yegge is founding a startup called 'StampTown' or something similar as a talent incubator. Each candidate would have a digital avatar with suspenders that would display their accumulated stamps.

I mean, if you are really into this stamp thing, then it is actually a good use of crypto/blockchain.

The decisions made by individual interviewers are extremely accurate if you realize they are just saying 'YES - I want this person hired' or 'NO - I don't want this person hired'. It's entirely subjective but likely very repeatable.

It's not repeatable; that's the whole point of describing how the same person gets wildly different results when they interview on multiple occasions.

Candidates are getting different outcomes on separate paths through the process because different people are interviewing them.

That gives the process low reliability. That's all that matters. If every interviewer is perfectly internally consistent (and they aren't even close), that wouldn't do anything to help the hiring process unless the hiring process took advantage of it.

Maybe the AI consultant gets a cut of that half billion?
