rasulkireevon Ask HN: What were the best books you read this year?

When We Cease to Understand the World by Benjamín Labatut.

It is about scientists that are fully consumed by their work, going mad somtimes. Their work is making a world a better place, but at the same time is used to kill lots of people.

This is the first book for me that I can say is beautifully written. Even though the subject was heavy at times, I couldn't stop reading it.

rasulkireevon Embeddings are underrated

I added semantic search, but I'm workin on adding resume upload/parsing to do automatic matching.

rasulkireevon Show HN: I made a free tool to generate beautiful OG images for your site

I was using ogimpact.sh in the past, but they went out of business, so to speak. They do offer self hosting, but I found the guide confusing and decided to build my own.

It works pretty well for my needs, but hopefully can be useful to some of you guys!

Happy to answer any questions :)

rasulkireevon I Am Tired of AI

Whatever gets the job done

rasulkireevon I Am Tired of AI

Great opportunity to get ahead of all the lazy people who use AI for a cover letter. Do a video! Sure, AI will be able to do that soon, but then we (not lazy people, who care) will come up with something even more personal!

rasulkireevon Ask HN: Why am I struggling to find a job?

I have one suggestion. Find the place where you want to work. Get the email of the hiring person. Record a video introduction and send it along with a description of why you are the best person for the work.

This will put you above everyone else! You are almost guaranteed to go through the door and then it is up to you to prove you are awesome, which I have no doubt you are!

rasulkireevon Ask HN: How do you go about finding a job?

I use Get TJ Alerts's [1] search tool and search for jobs that have my preferred tech stack, have comp info and contact info. Then I send a personal email with a video intro.

Yes, that's the next feature I was going to work on. I have already setup semantic search. I just need to add ability to upload->read->vectorize resume and do a similarity search on those vectors. Shouldn't be too hard.

Won't be able to do this in the near future. Quite backed up at work.
