Show HN: Web App that looks at your resume and matches you to jobs

Hacker News - Tue, 11/12/2024 - 5:10pm

I was tired of major job boards like LinkedIn/Indeed/Glass Door having spammy, promotions, and irrelevant job postings. Especially in ML where it was a pain to find MLE roles specializing in Computer Vision.

So I built Rocket Jobs. It looks at your resume and then uses semantic search to match you to relevant job postings based on your actual work experience. I spent a lot of time improving this "RAG" system by trying different embedding vendors and techniques to improve retrieval quality.

I intend to keep this 100% free. I'm able to run it for $0 rn. I'm also parsing 2M tokens a day all for free because I'm just using a 8B param llama for free rn from cerebras, groq, and together.ai. I plan to migrate to gemini later.

Also getting free postgres from aiven.io and free hosting from heroku student discount valid for 2 years

Ask HN: Do co-op programs cause good students to pursue PhDs to avoid working?

Hacker News - Tue, 11/12/2024 - 4:29pm

Maybe an unrewarding co-op job will cause them to avoid employment altogether for as long as they can?

Show HN: New service to rent and trade-in your beloved AI and FPGA boards

Hacker News - Tue, 11/12/2024 - 4:25pm

We have all been there. Spending hundreds and even thousands of dollars on development boards to finish a project or two and learn new tricks for a few months and then they end up in the hardware pile.

But a few months later, the next cool thing arrives, and you feel that regret and wish to yourself you have an extra $500 here and there to try this cool board -and add it to the pile- and so forth.. You end up with $10k or $15k of useless hardware collecting dust in your drawer!

It doesn't have to be like this! With circular economy, we can all enjoy the latest tech without breaking the bank or hurting the environment. Please let me know what do you think and share it with your friends!
