Show HN: An AI Resume Builder That Got Me Callbacks from Nvidia, Meta, and Apple
I’ve been on the job hunt for the past few months and after going through numerous reddit threads and Linkedin posts I saw that customized resumes make a huge difference in getting callbacks. But every tool I tried was either bloated with 50+ features I didn’t need or way too expensive (some were charging $70/month!). These people think I'm made of money!

So I decided to build my own AI resume builder.

It’s simple and streamlined:

It takes your resume and the job post and generates a custom resume tailored to that post. (We do not store your resume or use it to train the AI)
What used to take me 20-30 minutes now takes 30 seconds.
I’ve gotten callbacks from companies like Apple, Nvidia, Meta, and Amazon using it.
The pricing is designed to be accessible: the more jobs you apply to, the cheaper it gets — around $2 per resume.

I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think!
Very cool! This seems like fantastic functionality and would make it super easy to migrate small Spark workloads to DuckDB :)

I realize the parent comment had elements of flamebait in it, but this is the point at which the thread crossed into outright flamewar and ended in a downward spiral. That's not ok, and we've had to warn you about this before.

Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN in the intended spirit from now on? We'd appreciate it. Also, please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42433724 downthread.
But most don't. GDPR for example. It's pretty wack that random people coming to my neighborhood BBQ can demand I give them the backyard surveillance camera recording or force me to delete it (a metaphor for a personal website logs). Such makes perfect sense for a corporation but none when applied to a human person and context.

We should make the laws for our digital spaces for human person use cases first, not corporate person use cases. Even if it's in the sense of trying to protect humans from corporations.

Show HN: Graph-Based Editor for LLM Workflows
Hey HN,

We’re excited to share PySpur, an open-source tool that provides a graph-based interface for building, debugging, and evaluating LLM workflows.

Why we built this:

Before this, we built several LLM-powered applications that collectively served thousands of users. The biggest challenge we faced was ensuring reliability: making sure the workflows were robust enough to handle edge cases and deliver consistent results.

In practice, achieving this reliability meant repeatedly:

1. Breaking down complex goals into simpler steps: Composing prompts, tool calls, parsing steps, and branching logic.
2. Debugging failures: Identifying which part of the workflow broke and why.
3. Measuring performance: Assessing changes against real metrics to confirm actual improvement.

We tried some existing observability tools or agent frameworks and they fell short on at least one of these three dimensions. We wanted something that allowed us to iterate quickly and stay focused on improvement rather than wrestling with multiple disconnected tools or code scripts.

We eventually arrived at three principles upon which we built PySpur :

1. Graph-based interface: We can lay out an LLM workflow as a node graph. A node can be an LLM call, a function call, a parsing step, or any logic component. The visual structure provides an instant overview, making complex workflows more intuitive.
2. Integrated debugging: When something fails, we can pinpoint the problematic node, tweak it, and re-run it on some test cases right in the UI.
3. Evaluate at the node level: We can assess how node changes affect performance downstream.

We hope it's useful for other LLM developers out there, enjoy!
Hue Bulbs use Zigbee. If hue stops supporting the hub or older devices, you can reset and pair them to anything.

The Hue bridge is IP based but can be controlled entirely over your local network. It’s a slim possibility of something breaking (the mobile app mostly) and then the bulbs are still fine.

Actually there is a pretty significant new model announced today and available now: "MiniMax (Hailuo)Video-01-Live" https://blog.fal.ai/introducing-minimax-hailuo-video-01-live...

Although I tried that and it has the same issue all of them seem to have for me: if you are familiar with the face but they are not really famous then the features in the video are never close enough to be able to recognize the same person.

>but there are billions of public pages about "AI" research

Billions? For many of the things I am working on there are zero public pages outside of research papers. I said nothing about working with libs. Again, I'm not asking an AI "here's my project now finish it", I'm working with AIs for the countless little programming challenges and needs. Things that mirror things done in many, many other projects, most having nothing to do with my domain.

As an aside, starting that with "no offense" as an attempt to make it insulting is...weird.

I feel like this discussion is taking place ten years ago. The weird reference to StackOverflow is particularly funny.
It's up to theoretization, feels like classical physics happens due to fermions forming large spatial structures like molecules. It doesn't work as well for bosons: electromagnetic wave is as much as they can muster, and AFAIK it doesn't experience self-decoherence and is just a bunch of photons that happen to fly nearby. So without molecules there would be no classical physics, other things being equal.

>So there is no real conflict between our most immediate perceptions and the theory, because the effects of the theory are just too small for us to perceive.

Ask HN: How do I get the most out of an analyst job?
Hi HN,

I recently started a new position as a "program analyst" in the context of software for public administration in EU.
There are two teams involved in the project, team A who are basically like product owners and architects, doing the conception and deciding of the priorities, and team B, the devs, who actually make the software.

My job in team B is to act as an interface between team A and the devs, I'm supposed to have a good overview of the project, keep track of the progress made in the code (bugs, new features etc.) so I can update team A on what's going on and in the end synchronize the teams. I also have to manage our git repo. It was clear from the beginning that I am not supposed to code.
Overall I don't feel super enthusiastic about the project itself but I must admit that for a junior the working conditions are really good (working hours, holidays and salary) and the team is nice.

The contract is set for 3 years, since I'm a junior with low experience I fear that at the end of the contract I will lack some coding experience and have trouble getting a new job.
So I was wondering if there are similar positions in the private sectors? And basically, how can I get the most out of this job?

Thanks!
I don't understand this decision. Running a website as an individual is a liability risk for all sorts of reasons for which there are simple (and cheap) mitigations. Even if you believe this legislation is a risk, there are options other than shutting down. The overreaction here is no different than when GDPR came in, and we all collectively lost our minds and started shutting things down and then discovered there was zero consequence for mom-and-pop websites. I assume this isn't a genuine post and is actually an attempt at some sort of protest, with no intention of actually shutting down the websites. Or, more likely, they're just old and tired and ready to move on from this period of their life, running these websites.

Planned obsolescence is usually taken as a "bad thing" but it isn't necessarily - when considered as "there's no reason to spend money on making a part of this outlast the useful lifespan of the whole."

A cruise missile doesn't need to fix a bug that can only occur months after it has detonated, after all.

The real problem comes from the manufacturer's idea of "useful lifespan" and the customer's. For most people, an appliance's useful lifespan is "as long as it keeps working" and they don't care to ever upgrade it if it doesn't fail. Manufacturer's aren't incentivized to make those, however, and only accidentally do so (something designed to last 10 years is likely to last much longer on average).
Tomatoes already have umami. I would say olive are good but could really place with anchovies or capers depending on if you favour those. They are good too. Anchovies has the advantage of packing salty and umami in one.

So, IIUC, this is a language to describe, in a rather general manner, a "system", which can either be modeled via differential equations and/or discrete equations (if/then/else).

This is very nice, especially if it is general enough.

However, what is even more interesting is the general methodology to actually run the time-based simulation of such a system, especially if this allows to describe arbitrarily complex diffeqs (other than brute force monte-carlo style integration/sampling).

Separate comment to address a subtlety that comes up a lot:

Often you'll hear about fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) being Turing-complete. But you can't actually have a Turing complete system with variable-run-time loops that's homomorphically encrypted, because that leaks information about the inputs.

When they say FHE is Turing-complete, what they mean is that you can take an arbitrary program requiring Turing completeness, then time-bound it, unroll it into a fixed-length circuit, and run that homomorphically. Since you can keep upping the time bound, you can compute any function. So the system that translates your programs into those circuits, with no limit on the bound you set, could then be called Turing-complete -- but you couldn't say that about any of those circuits individually.

Sounds like Simulink to me, which is one of the major MATLAB programming environments.

ETA: Apparently MathWorks has Simscape in this category.
I didn’t read the paper but I half suspect those point clouds were randomly sampled from perfect meshes themselves thus maybe they are perfect clouds?

I wish I had time to dig into this. At least this is still a good result on the path to perfect automatic meshing.

I stand corrected. Still, he was on the turnaround team very early on.
Certainly. I have heard of a number of senior execs who really hated public speaking (even when they were very good at it given sufficient rehearsal). But I agree in general. If you have a public/customer-facing role you're going to find it exhausting and probably not going to be great at it if it is uncomfortable/unpleasant.

I'm certainly not the classic stereotype of the outgoing sales rep (whether that's a fair stereotype or not) but that didn't keep me from attending a ton of conferences, customer meetings, and giving public presentations.
You broke the site guidelines badly in this flamewar. I'm not going to ban your account right now the way I did the other one, which broke them quite a bit worse and has more of a history of doing so. But if you keep doing this, we're going to end up having to ban you, especially since this isn't the first time.

Please avoid tit-for-tat spats in the future, no matter how wrong someone is or you feel they are, and please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and post respectfully and thoughtfully in the future. If you had edited out the swipes from your comments, as the rules request, they would have been fine.
Long story short, as a junior programmer I did not fully appreciate the difference between credit and debit and ended up putting a bunch of money on customer credit cards instead of deducting it. And yes the app somehow passed our payment processor's validation exercises. Total damage was maybe $10k, but I think we managed to roll most of it back.
This color scheme broke my brain for a minute as I tried to figure out what landmass the white was.
Indeed. The most important apps already have native Windows ARM builds: 7Zip, Notepad++, Firefox, Sumatra PDF etc. It's pretty usable for Average Joes.
Ask HN: How do you manage multiple projects efficiently?
I’m curious to learn how others juggle several projects, whether it’s side projects alongside a 9-to-5 job, multiple responsibilities within a day job, or a mix of everything.

•How do you prioritize tasks and keep up productivity?

•Do you follow specific frameworks (e.g., Agile, GTD)?

•Any tools or systems you swear by for managing your time or tracking progress?

•Have you found ways to improve your efficiency over time?

I’m trying to understand how efficient one can get when managing multiple projects and how much is too much.

Looking forward to hearing your experiences!

Not all manufacturers.

At AirGradient, all our air quality monitors can completely run local. Our official firmware is on GitHub and people could even flash their own (adjusted) version.

We believe this is how IoT devices should be and are very vocal about it. So I think there are a few manufacturers that think different.

Show HN: Autonomous AI agents that monitor the stock market for you
We created autonomous AI Agents that monitor the stock market for you while you go about your day.

How it works:
Tell our AI Assistant what you want to monitor, and it creates a project for our team of autonomous AI Agents. You'll get notifications (email + app) when significant events matching your criteria are detected. For short-term projects, you'll be notified when your analysis is ready.

Behind the scenes:
When you give the AI Assistant a request to monitor an entity (like a stock or group of stocks), an AI Project Manager plans the project and breaks the project down into manageable tasks. These tasks run asynchronously - some recurring (hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly), others one-time.

Example prompts you can try:
Long-term monitoring:
- "Monitor Apple stock and notify me of any important events and red flags"
- "Monitor Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta stock. Notify me if any of them start trending toward being undervalued"

Short-term analysis:
- "Create a project to analyze the last 30 earnings calls for Tesla, spot trends, and how the business has evolved over time"

You can track the progress of all tasks as the AI Agents work in the background.

Try it here: https://decodeinvesting.com/chat

This is still an early version - we're actively improving it based on feedback. Would love to hear what you think and what features you'd want to see next!

Sure, humanity has its ways of objecting Accelerationism, but the process fundamentally challenges human identity:

"The Human Security System is structured by delusion. What's being protected there is not some real thing that is mankind, it's the structure of illusory identity. Just as at the more micro level it's not that humans as an organism are being threatened by robots, it's rather that your self-comprehension as an organism becomes something that can't be maintained beyond a certain threshold of ambient networked intelligence."

Ask HN: How's Twitter doing 2 years post Musk's acquisition
When Musk* acquired Twitter in 2022 and then fired 80% of the workforce I assumed twitter is about to explode. I'm mainly talking about the technical/operational aspect of the website itself.

My perspective comes from my exprience in running web-related businesses. I can't think of anywhere where I've worked where firing 80% of staff would NOT result in significant near term downtime.

As far as I am aware, there certainly have been some issues with twitter the website/product but not nearly as much I would've expected.

What gives? Were twitter systems engineered so well that they are essentially hands off? Was 80% of twitter just dead weight?

Would love to hear about twitter the organization circa 2022 and what it looks like now.

*: I'm not interested in discussing Musk himself, his politics or personality.
If society ever developed along the lines proposed, which is highly improbable to begin with, then speaking of humanity as a whole is a complete nonstarter.

We'd naturally fork, because that future sounds like a dystopic hellscape to many (if not the overwhelming majority).

And indeed once we reach the point of being able to reliably colonize other planets, large scale splintering (both physical and cultural) will begin near immediately. You'll have libertarian planet, Islamic planet, even the Mormons will finally have their planets! And so on.

And the people who want to sacrifice their bodies to go enter the machine will certainly have their own little slice of the universe as well.

Closed models aren't going to matter in the long run. Hunyuan and LTX both run on consumer hardware and produce videos similar in quality to Sora Turbo, yet you can train them and prompt them on anything. They fit into the open source ecosystem which makes building plugins and controls super easy.

Video is going to play out in a way that resembles images. Stable Diffusion and Flux like players will win. There might be room for one or two Midjourney-type players, but by and large the most activity happens in the open ecosystem.
