Amazing packaging for what is effectively a teleprompter.

pashariger | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs?
Small dataset for those that emailed, n=~3, but none of them were standout resumes. Best few candidates actually went through chat and also followed up via email with additional information a few days later.

I built an AI Hiring Assistant that performs an initial screening, collects candidate information, answers questions about the role, and also asks a several behavioral interview questions: https://hiring.gracekelly.dev/
Built entirely on Vercel & OpenAI. Took about a day, hardest part was configuring Sign In With Google. Had several dozen candidates use it, saved a lot of time and helped prioritize conversations.
I just did a brief writeup about it yesterday: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-built-ai-hiringscreening-as...
pashariger | 2 years ago | on: Build a startup or side project faster with these SaaS templates
The Vercel templates are really awesome. I used the AI Chatbot starter (https://vercel.com/templates/next.js/nextjs-ai-chatbot), and it just took me a few hours to build a GPT-4 powered initial screening chatbot tool for a job posting. It asks candidates a few behavioral questions and answers their questions about the role. I had to swap out the auth provider to Google, add a Postgres database for permanent storage, and write an initial prompt, but other than that - the fastest I ever built and deployed something useful.

He was a titan and a gentleman. RIP.
pashariger | 2 years ago | on: My Unhealthy Relationship with Keyboards
Pro tip: I use a mix of Mac and Windows with Apple's magic keyboard. The way I fixed the key layout issue was to swap the mapping of the CMD and CTRL keys on the Windows machine. (used a utility called SharpKeys, but Windows may now have a built in way to do this) It feels pretty much seamless. I'm also using the magic trackpad on Windows - the ability to pinch zoom, pan and scroll is just as functional and awesome as it is on the Mac.

And... I also used another xml parsing library, because we "needed" our own. (context: first programming job at a startup in college)
pashariger | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is the thing you've built that you regret the most?
An xml parser.
pashariger | 4 years ago | on: Fretastic: Guitar fretboard visualizer – scales, intervals, backing tracks
Speaking as a guitarist, this is an excellent tool for exploring and learning different scales. I especially like the piano view - helps you see patterns on a piano side by side.
pashariger | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Creating a consumer humanoid robot – suggestions for apps?
If you want to build trust with your early supporters, I’d recommend putting your team on display. It looks like you’ve invested into a good looking marketing site, but what I’d show off instead are videos and photos of prototypes in the lab and progress that you’re making on the product, with actual team members talking about the problem you’re solving and their inspiration.
pashariger | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Creating a consumer humanoid robot – suggestions for apps?
Who are the people behind this project? There’s no information about the company building this, no privacy policy/tos on the website. Looks like a scam the way it is right now.
pashariger | 4 years ago | on: I wrote a children's book / illustrated guide to Apache Kafka
Cutest thing I've seen today. Every tech team should hire a children's book illustrator to explain their products/tech, IMO.
pashariger | 5 years ago | on: Basic Music Theory in ~200 Lines of Python
I found this very helpful! As a self-taught musician, it filled some gaps in my music theory knowledge - especially being able to visualize computing scales, modes, and intervals as algorithms. I can now better evaluate these in my head when I encounter a key/scale that I haven't seen before! Thank you!

One step closer to Black Mirror Season 4: Crocodile, among other things.
pashariger | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where can I find high-end stock images for a website?
https://www.haystack.im/ is a really great aggregator and search tool.

This is fantastic. Thank you!
Really enjoyed the Stoicism & Narcissism versions.

I don't know about you, but I'm very thankful that we have a president that can understand and intelligently talk about these issues (rather than thinking it's all just black magic).
