Show HN: I Built the First AI Candidate Classifier App
For the past two years, I've been diving into AI studies and work, but I craved something more meaningful.

Looking around, I noticed a common problem: job seekers feeling overwhelmed and bored with the repetitive task of filling out CV templates that seem to have been used by everyone, only to face rejection. On the flip side, recruiters were spending excessive time on sorting through applications.

So, I came up with a solution for both parties.

I created Xandidate, an AI-powered application that streamlines the recruitment process. Recruiters simply need to create a form, input the job description, and share the form link where candidates can apply. That's it. The AI then takes over, analyzing each applicant based on the job description, assigning a score, and providing a detailed evaluation.

For candidates, Xandidate eliminates the need for traditional CV submissions. Instead, they can express themselves genuinely, describing their skills and experiences in their own words. No more CV hassles; that's a thing of the past.

This app is built using Next.js and is hosted on Vercel.
I had the desktop version of this installed on my Windows XP machine. So, to me this is the original idle game. But is it? What came before? Surely nobody created something so perfect from nothing.
Lack of vibration from Engine might also fare better for parts around the battery
Free will is more ideological dogma than a factual claim. From materialist standpoint it's untenable. And empirically we see that environment dominates thinking and behavior.

Free will is the foundation of most judeo-christian moral systems, which were inherited by liberalism. It's the justification for punishshing and rewading individuals.

It seems to work relatively well, but I find it very cruel.
Sounds like you have been watching Travelers - specifically the episodes where the Director is looking for Traveler 001. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelers_(TV_series)

I don't think China are going to find their Dissident in TikTok videos any time soon. The false positive rate on even the best facial recognition is way too high for tracking individuals globally.
A propaganda tool doesn’t need to be immediately financially profitable though, that’s not their expected main outcome (though I guess that can be a nice bonus).
I don’t know anywhere in the world where 16 year olds were sent or even able to live on their own. Maybe military or boarding school, or even some type of college, but it wasn’t really on their own.

And outside of a few decades post WW2 USA, I don’t know of 18 to 22 year olds buying their own land/house either. Around the world, multigenerational households have been the norm for eons.
I worked hard and got into one of these prestigious universities for my Masters, but grew up lower-middle class, on the countryside, in a not very healthy environment.

Having seen it first-hand, I can only agree. There's so much privilege at these institutions, it's almost sickening sometimes. I don't want to throw everyone in one pot, there's certainly genuine, decent people there. But there is so much self-importance and arrogance floating around, and just this casual and unquestioned attitude of superiority.

What I do want to say is that pretty much everyone I met there had a base-level above average smartness and/or work ethic. But I also mostly hung out with STEM people. Didn't get to know many managerial or related types.
Nexus is from latin, and sonotype still uses the name.
I agree. I have done a lot of devouring podcasts and youtube videos over my years. I used to read a lot before that. Now I have dropped a lot of the audiovisual stuff and started reading more. The fact that reading requires more of my attention, that I find myself rereading things, annotating things, etc makes it a much better learning experience. The only thing that may be better is an in person classroom since it involves interaction.
This comparison is irrelevant to the conversation. But even otherwise it is misleading and leaves out lots of history. The modern state of Israel has existed for that long - but if anything, it’s a war for Jewish people’s existence in land that was historically Jewish. And it wouldn’t be a “war” if Israel could exist peacefully and not constantly be threatened by terrorists. Most people don’t see a problem with a war of self defense in response to October 7, so I’m not sure what you think would happen if “warhawks” saw the “consequences” of their work. If anything, this is a low casualty conflict compared to most.
The sign up page is a Google Form? And you ask "What are you comfortable paying per month"? Is there even a real product or is this just a landing page to collect data?
> The less out-and-out math used to make a point about programming, the better, I think.

Imagine if an electrical engineer said this. Or an aerospace engineer. Or any real engineer.

I don't know, but if it was me paying the bill I would care a lot about this:

https://twitter.com/anduriltech/status/1780987267630395454 "the prototype was delivered ahead of schedule, and on budget"

and statements like this:

https://twitter.com/anduriltech/status/1783241461976256553 "We look forward to delivering CCAs on schedule, within budget, and at scale."

And the scale part is important. The whole point of these CCA fleets is to have A LOT of them and for that they have to be relatively cheap to build and easy enough to produce in decent numbers. The quality of an individual CCA doesn't matter that much.
TypeScript is not a good foundation to be building on. The language has very complex semantics and the only "spec" is the main implementation, which is also evolving.
I guess that in the UK this has been the case for a while?

We just got 1600GBP back from British Airways for a flight delayed by 24hrs.

Serverless functions, right? That's what deno deploy is billed as. Presumably the registry is a platform-adjacent investment to try and bring more serverless market-share to deno. Since it provides a npm-registry compatible facade, presumably you should feel safe publishing deno-y code to it (without calling platform APIs?), and should thus be more likely to use deno, and thus enter the funnel for deno deploy.

Personally, I just use deno's rust v8 wrappers a bunch, since they make embedding a V8 runtime into a rust app very simple, and js is a very nice scripting engine (especially with optional types). A hugely valuable contribution to the open source community. But then again, I don't deploy serverless functions on the regular. To each their own.
I think the hope is that they are quicker in producing drones that integrate ("collaborative") AI of the current generation than the traditional big suppliers.
Statistics are not descriptive of an individual. This data should not be used to make boundary assertions about anyone’s actual preferences.
I don't think it's quite that close. There is still a distinction between being a product of your environment and being influenced by your environment.

My HS college prep English teacher, who was one of the best teachers I ever had, put it this way: "Garbage in, garbage out." His point was that it simply isn't rational to believe that you can read nothing but National Lampoon, Mad Magazine, or the county newspaper and become a great writer. You have to read, digest, and breathe the air of the great works of fiction and literature and allow it to do its work in influencing your prose style, cadence, and structure.

I would really like to see a change in the future by companies using this approach for upcoming job postings.
>We all exist in the world, not apart from it, and no amount of exclusion or creation of “sterile spaces” will change that.

The surrounding reality in the world doesn't change but the gp was talking about deliberate curation of that reality.

Maybe another example using advertising to help highlight the difference:

- block ads during web surfing with PiHole and uBlock. <-- the curation perspective of gp y04nn's, "I am more meticulous when choosing what I do and don't do, there is no going back.

- no amount of blocking ads will change the fact that ads exist in the world <-- your perspective

Yes, you're correct that "ads still exist" but browsing the web without it is still a nicer experience.
I am not a historian. Andaman and Nicobar (neighbor of Sentinelese) is occupied / use as naval base by outsiders for >1000 years. None of the Cholas, Europeans, Japan ever contacted/impacted them seems highly unlikely.
At my current job, we had a position that an absolutely stellar candidate supposedly ghosted HR on. Same thing; candidate reached out to me asking about next steps, and I was like, "let me check". Went and asked HR, and was told they'd handle the rest, and not to talk to candidates outside of HR-scheduled interviews. Never heard back again.

That was 3 months ago (and 3 months into the position posting), and the position is still unfilled.
Ghosts of Spain by Giles Tremlett is usually well regarded, although I have not read it
I once got a program that was a never-ending source of bugs. It had huge forms, with fields becoming valid or invalid depending on the state of other fields. Each field had listeners to activate/deactivate controls as needed, but the interactions had become so complex that they were full of tiny mistakes. Each tiny mistake slightly corrupted the state, triggering other mistakes, until the whole thing snowballed out of control. Costly business mistakes followed.

After a while it occurred to me that all state was duplicate/triplicate/..., e.g. a checkbox on screen and a boolean field. Most bugs amounted to inconsistencies between the duplicates. So we wrote for each form 2 big methods: One copied the records to the UI, the other the UI to the record. All listeners became a 3 step process: Copy complete UI to record, do the change only in the record, copy complete record to UI.

In a way this was wasteful: Typing 3 characters would enable or disable most GUI elements 3 times. But computers had become fast enough that this was unnoticeable. The dynamic of the program changed: instead of tiny mistakes in the code spiraling out of control, they would disappear as the next user action would most probably fix them. Bugs basically dried up overnight after what amounted to a small code change.

In this case, it was too late to make invalid states unrepresentable, but we managed to declare 1 part of the state correct, and derive all the other state from it. I learned a lot about state management from that experience.
Defense is not morally questionable. Particularly in the presence of adversaries who _are_ clearly morally questionable.
I wouldn't mind all of that if the SQLAlchemy documentation would hide all the types until I mouse over them.

Ditto for vim!
I totally forgot the book ending! So much better.

This is missing an important addition:

You generally only want to serialize a part of the program state.

I built a workflow engine in the past on the JVM that uses serializable continuations, a bit like what Goblins is doing. The important part is not the VM-level engineering, the important part is defining the boundaries of what gets serialized. If you actually checkpoint everything then you can't upgrade your software anymore, because developers think about program upgrades as reloading from a blank slate, not hot-patching a running program in memory. OK maybe some Lisp devs think in the latter way, but most people don't, and the moment you upgrade a library from one version to another of course there is no instructions for how to incrementally patch your way in memory from one to another.

It's also not clear why you'd want to. A lot of program state is plumbing. Logging frameworks, HTTP stacks, thread pools, system configuration, JIT compiler state, etc. There's no point in saving that to disk. It belongs in transient RAM naturally.
Ask HN: Did you write your own provisional patents?
I want to file a provisional patent for the project I'm working on - sama mentioned writing it yourself at the YC hardtech talk at MIT. I'm considering doing that. Did you? Or did you pay someone?
It’s not “no other option”, they can switch to Bash but it’s an old version, or they could install a newer version with Homebrew or similar. But none of those steps should be taken by someone just starting.

The point is precisely that the OP likely has no idea what their shell is. I wasn’t lobbying a criticism, but a correction so they are aware.

Regarding the example guide, I do think it’s not a great one for total beginners. someone with interest in learning the Terminal should be given an interesting resource that let’s them play a bit with commands and understand what it’s about before drowning them in theory and technical information.

I used to work at a gas station. They are not more reliable, not even close. The difference is that a gas pump is never unattended and the attendants can quickly do the easy fixes, like a reboot.

Pay attention to how often a single pump is out of service at a gas station. It's quite frequent. You just don't care because there are other pumps you can use.

OTOH, most non Tesla charging stations are a single charger with multiple heads. Redundancy is a big reason for the perceived reliability of gas stations and Tesla superchargers.
Not really buying it. I mostly liked the same type of books all my life. I read a lot out of my comfort zone and I never particularly enjoyed it, nor do I think they impacted me much. I read what I am, not the other way. Maybe others are more influenceable.
I also went to a/the top CS school. When I graduated I would have never considered working at a defense company. Now, after bouncing around big tech and startups for a few years, I am a few days away from accepting a position at one. What changed? Appreciation for how entirely insignificant to downright harmful the rest of the industry is, perhaps. I made changes that impacted tens of millions of users in... no significant way whatsoever. Certainly not anything they'd remember on their deathbed. And what else is out there? Finding better algorithms to keep people hooked on their phones watching ads for longer, making more bullshit "AI" products to strip communication of all personality, and hundreds and hundreds of healthcare startups begging me to help them "cut out the middleman" in X healthcare system and replace them with... themselves! Idk. If I can make one anti-drone system take down one more suicide drone than it'd be able to without me, I'm 100% sure whoever would have been on the other end of that kamikaze will appreciate my efforts a hell of a lot more than the 2^25 people I fed a slightly different arrangement of pixels than they'd have gotten without me.
We use math in all kinds of professions and in everyday life, it's a perfectly valid way of explaining the concept I think.
I don't think the Israeli soldiers want to be there, and I don't think their family want them risking their lives. What they really don't want is a repeat of the 7th October, and the only way that's going to be the case is to eradicate Hamas and control the gaza strip. It's clear that leaving them to self-govern is never lead to peace.

> It goes back to the root issue, many westerners have long lost that disciplined to be an educated populace, to identify and defend against bias. to will themselves towards what they need to do as opposed to want. a single social media side won't change that.

Really?
That is like saying that Russians are always good at chess or Chinese good at Kung Fu or Japanese good at Karate.

We had this type of rhetoric during the time of the Cold War as well.

Aside from it being profiling let's entertain this:

If what you say were true, then the populace of China(to borrow your verbage) wouldn't start laying flat. You wouldn't have to introduce a system of snitching and forced conformism via the social credit system(which is less technical than is made out to believe in the west, more like some dada and wify on the bench taking notes) and you wouldn't have dissidents or the need to 'shield/protect' the population from any foreign influence via the GFW.

And onto other parts:
> And would Tiktok be the fastest growing social media if it did the same? China can force their citizens to watch whatever they deem worthy. they have literal curfews for playing games implemented by the government. imposing that onto the west is just a bad business decision.

Really?
It is only a crime, bad if caught and now they have been caught and called out.
Also, how do you measure growth?
Over the past years commercial data from within China has been dubious.
And what is the fastest growing anyways?
Usershare? Tiktok enjoys an unfair advantage. China has a large population and western products are not allowed to participate and e.g. Weibo or tencent are de factor monopolies. I assume it to be similar with Tiktok.
Also, things that are not good for you usually are the most fun.
Think junk food.
There is nothing wrong with that or endulging it it(every once in a while), but, once again, it is nefarious when there is malicious purpose behind it like with Tiktok. A foreign power trying to subvert values and a way of life.
And to answer your question: Yes, given that the Chinese Government is footing the bill they have more clout than their competitors because of that.

> They would if they pulled out of the US. I'd look forward to the fallout that ensues. Maybe it will get the you to understand the power of their vote.

Well, then the ownership does not change.
Their choice, it is their company. They may do with it as they please, but if they don't play by the rules they may conduct business elsewhere only. Why stop a parting guest?
It's likely a mixed bag. One of my grandfathers died before reaching the current age of my retired parents, and the other was still doing calisthenics and running. I have the impression you'd need to look at much larger sample sizes to find the truth.
85 is crazy fast? Come on now.
I don't want to compare life to video games and I think comparing a genocidal dictatorship that ruthlessly suppresses its citizens and occupies foreign lands (Tibet for example) a challenger is a bit of a downplay
you are what you read, you are what you eat... it goes on and on :)
Sorry I don’t follow. What did I overthink?

It's even worse for AI given that nobody really understands why anything works.
Do you think "state machines" should be called "data machines"? Why or why not?

IMO "state" is a better fit for the concept that this is getting at. The point is to stop the program getting into an invalid state, not to stop the program operating on invalid data, because a program might need to process data that's invalid in some sense, and because the program state is something a bit more active than "data" (e.g. having the right data at the wrong stage of execution is also an invalid state, even though it isn't exactly "invalid data").
I believe security staff strikes also qualify. I got burned by that one via KLM
At least to me, both of those imply a key-value storage system, not a secrets manager. `OpenSecrets` maybe implies less security to some, and developers tend to want to give products they work on a creative name.

Copyright protection of characters is not harmonised at the international level (https://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/text/283698), and is a very contentious area even within specific jurisdictions.
Like, in the US, there are some tests, like "character delineation" and "story being told" test for protection to exist: how well developed that character is (Nichols v. Universal Pictures Corp.), so cannonfodders are not protected, main characters could be. In other countries, that protection is much stronger, like any uniquely, identifiable character (or even titles of literary works) practically receive such a protection (like in Hungary).
But there is always a second layer of defense, like it's fair use, pastiche etc. Like in Germany, the German supreme court has decided that selling costumes of Pippi Longstockings is not within fair use (even if they do not call it "Pippi costume", of course).
So, good luck for anyone choosing such names for their products to sort this out in litigation, probably not worth the risk here. It often just takes time for the copyright holders to notice and to react...
But only to those who are involuntary bumped. So they look for volunteers who will take less than that first. So far when I have traveled the offer hasn't been enough that I have wanted to give up my spot. But the person above's offer sounds like one I would have considered.

Of course, it's always "the others" who clearly are morally questionable.

Sure is a good thing I'm a software developer, not an engineer, then.
Sounds like a Tesla with sentry mode on. IOW, there's something in your car that is running 24/7 that is using more than a trickle. Hopefully you can turn it off.
One can go as far as to consider defense a moral imperative of free nations. Who knows whether Russia would have ever dared to attack Ukraine if Ukraine still had their nukes?
He's talking from a mathematical perspective, not a compute graphics one.

I only have one criteria and it is “high production values”. After that I have no century or genre constraints. So far there is no recommendation algorithm up to the task.
Treating devs as people would be a good start.
Funny, I recently had a client telling me his system was non-refundable, so I didn't handle cancellations in the database, later I discovered that actually the sales channel tends to manually refund orders if the request is less than 1h old.

Also in Europe (Frankfurt), when I had missed my flight because the (German) express train had been delayed by more than one hour, the airline sent me to a hotel with all expenses paid by them, including breakfast, until the next morning when I could take another of their flights towards the same destination, though via another route (obviously all being covered by my original payment).
