Ask HN: Is this selection process for an AI cog real or a gag?
Welcome to the Aaa selection process, and thank you for applying!
The selection consists of the following steps:
Coding exercise @ rrr.com A three-hour programming assessment, consisting of three exercises to be executed in the online platform Rrr (www.....com). We suggest you familiarize with the Rrr tool, by taking the example exercises, and that you perform the actual assessment when you are sure you have three consecutive hours undisturbed, e.g. during a weekend, as the test can not be paused once started. The deadline is December 3.
