Nice idea! For quickly skimming the list, I think it would be useful to add a short, standardized summary for each project. These summaries should be easy to generate automatically with any LLM of your choice. I have a similar tool for orga

I built a site that transforms the monthly Who is hiring posts into a structured table [1]. It also allows for semantic sorting to find similar jobs to a given one. It originally used GPT-3, which already worked quite well. [1] https:&#x2F

I think that a huge part of Tailwind‘s success is not so much the underlying concept but a combination of several aspects: You get a kind of generic design system (margins, paddings, matching colors, etc.) that are restrictive enough to hel

Sample size one, but I actually found that the iOS ecosystem works surprisingly well for having a finished app. I have one, created over six years ago with almost no updates over the past years. I intentionally built it in a way that does n

HN‘s „Who is hiring“ threads can be a good source for remote opportunities. Self promotion: I run hacker-jobs.com [1] which indexes these threads and lets you filter by remote opportunities. [1] https://www.hacker-jobs.com/

Just to present a balanced view for our international audience: a significant number of locals sincerely enjoy Oktoberfest. Within my circles in the Munich tech/startup scene, a visit to Oktoberfest with the team is often considered on

Indirectly, in a way. A few months ago, I built a small site [1] that parses and structures the "Who is hiring" posts using GPT. It was/is just a personal project to deepen my actual experience in building things with LLMs [2

Yes, sorry, you're right of course. I wanted to say that you need to use the more developer-oriented tooling (API, Playground) if you want to have the parameter options.

For many use cases like summarization or information extraction, you can get deterministic and mostly non-creative results by adjusting the parameters (temperature, top-p, etc.). This is only possible via the API, though. And it work's

Thanks for mentioning the Firebase-based API. I knew it existed, but somehow I went with the Algolia API by default. I use their HN search quite a bit, so that's probably why I stuck with them. (no affiliation)

You're welcome! For the chat model, it definitely helps to let it know that you want valid, parsable JSON (and nothing else). Otherwise it tends to get chatty. ;-) Depending on your use case, you might even ask it to fix the JSON if it

Thank you very much! I will definitely try out your suggestions! However, at least with GPT-3.5 and the amount of data I have to deal with in this case, my main concern is the quality of the extractions. With about 500 posts per month, the

Thank you very much! Filtering by location (and role) is on my todo list, but it is trickier than it seems at first. And I totally agree that the buttons are confusing. Actually, the "sort" button does sort the jobs. It sorts by s

Exactly. I am sure you can get similar results with some "traditional" NLP skills, but the good (bad?) thing is that they are not required when using one of the newer LLMs.

The core ideas for extracting the information with GPT are already available in the blog post linked above. Those are exactly the prompts I'm using. The rest is just a pretty simple Nuxt web application. So I'm not sure if open so

Thanks! Haha, you're right. There's already a kind of rule for that in the original prompt I'm using, but the "competitive" thing somehow still slips through. Will fix it in the next version.

Thanks for the suggestion! It's on my todo list. For now, you at least can sort jobs by similarity to a selected job. It's the middle icon to the left of each entry (maybe not the most intuitive way how to do it, though).

I wanted to share a little side project of mine that I created while tinkering around with GPT-3. The project uses the Algolia HN Search API [1] to retrieve the "Who is hiring?" posts from HN and then parses them with the help of

There's a Kickstarter for startups. It's Kickstarter. But looking at the current project guidelines, I think you are right that Kickstarter is not (or does not want to be) the right platform for pure software / SaaS / et

+1. Due to the small size of our company, my role still is somewhere between lead engineer and a pure managing position, but it‘s enough of the management schedule that I can no longer be a reliable partner for working on the core product.
