Show HN: Merit – Career mentorship for tech workers

Hello Hacker News!<p>I built a free service where you can schedule 1:1 video mentorship calls with senior ICs and managers in software engineering, product management, and design. The goal is to remove barriers to building a professional network that can help you grow your career like building skills and getting referrals. Right now we’re limited to folks living or working in the US or Canada, but we’re working on expanding beyond that one day.<p>Without logging in, you can browse mentors here: <a href="https://www.get-merit.com/mentors" rel="nofollow">https://www.get-merit.com/mentors</a><p>Between tech layoffs, hybrid work, and an uncertain industry outlook, I hope this can be a useful resource for you or someone you know, especially if you do not have a large professional network.<p>I would love to hear your feedback!

Show HN: DocAsker – Use LLMs to ask documentation questions

We've built this over the last few weeks to leverage vector search and LLMs (this is backed by GPT-3.5, though we're also testing Flan-T5) to answer question over large sets of documents with references. Currently, we've ingested the documentation for React and some key adjacent libraries (Redux, React-Redux, React-Router, MUI). This allows you to ask various natural language questions and the output is hopefully a relevant answer with code examples if applicable, while sourcing the original docs whenever possible.<p>We're working on adding up more documentations and have more "general" questions (e.g., query your own notion documentation). Any feedback is appreciated at this stage, let us know what you think and if there are any libs you'd like to see added!

Show HN: TunnlTo – Windows WireGuard split tunnel client built with Rust, Tauri

Hi Everyone,<p>TunnlTo is a tool for controlling which Windows applications, processes, and IP addresses can use a WireGuard VPN tunnel. Here are some examples of how it could be used:<p>- Route only FireFox through a privacy VPN - Route Slack and Microsoft Office through a work VPN - Route a game through a gaming VPN - Stop a game from routing through a privacy VPN - Stop a browser from routing through a work VPN - Route a specific IP address range through a privacy VPN - Route all traffic through a privacy VPN except a specific IP address range<p>I have been collaborating on this project with the creator of WireSock - Vadim Smirnov.<p><i>"WireSock VPN Client is a lightweight command line WireGuard VPN client for Windows that has advanced features not available in the official WireGuard for Windows such as selective application tunneling and disallowed IP addresses.<p>WireSock VPN Client combines the power of Windows Packet Filter and BoringTun (user space WireGuard implementation in Rust) to provide exceptional performance, security and scalability."</i><p>The TunnlTo app is built with Tauri and I've used boring old HTML, CSS (bootstrap) and JavaScript as I had major JS framework fatigue. I have previously built a production app with Electron and Vue. Tauri appealed to me for its use of Rust and its small installation sizes. I tried Tauri pre version 1.0 and had a bit of trouble but this time around its been a positive experience. The docs and the Discord community have come a long way.<p>I would appreciate any feedback about the project so I can get an idea of what direction to take it in next. Vadim will be around a little later if anyone is curious about the WireGuard implementation and wants to know more.<p>Thanks for reading!

Show HN: Working on a Zero-Knowledge Daily Journaling App

Decryption key derived from master password never leaves the browser. It's just a text editor so far, but a we have a few features planned: retrospective tooling, sentiment analysis, journaling modules, guidance and information inline, better habit formation & rewards UI.

Show HN: Asdf Clone Written in Rust

I think that asdf (<a href="https://asdf-vm.com" rel="nofollow">https://asdf-vm.com</a>) was a great idea for a project. It helps consolidate installing and running different programming languages into a similar UX. It also is built with a plugin interface that makes it easy to build support for new languages.<p>However it is so slow. I was just testing `node -v` and it was taking ~900ms. That kind of overhead is completely unusable. My shell prompt uses runtimes inside of it for various things so this effectively makes every command take multiple seconds to complete.<p>So I rebuilt it in Rust but using the same plugin ecosystem so it should be a drop-in replacement. I also added a couple of features that I wanted from asdf (aliases and fuzzy-matching).<p>Let me know what you think! Just know that people have only been using this for a few days so if you see any bugs, they're likely not big hairy issues, just overlooked edge-cases and will be fixed soon.<p><a href="https://github.com/jdxcode/rtx">https://github.com/jdxcode/rtx</a>

Train CIFAR10 to 94% in under 10 seconds on a single A100

Hi,<p>My career is currently in this field, and I created this project as (effectively, among other things) a living resume, and to also be a really great workbench for hacking/experimenting on different methods. Testing and getting a feel for how different methods work within this framework is truly a delight, and quite simple/fast. Additionally, generally speaking, many of the mathematical concepts should transfer, so this (for me) has been a really great proving grounds in testing out how something might work in a different place in the real world. We hope to get under 2 seconds of training time (for 94%) within about two years or so, so stay tuned for updates as we continue to push more changes that take us faster and faster than our starting point of ~18.1 seconds or so.<p>By the way, this architecture and training hyperparameters do indeed scale well, just increase epochs from 10->80 and base_depth from 64->128 and you'll have about 95.77% accuracy in about 188 seconds or so (just over 3 minutes :D). That alone is a huge boon! Great to see scaling laws working well within this very, very tight hyperparameter resolution.<p>Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, Hacker News always seems to get me the most traffic. I really love talking about this project, and can't really seem to find anyone to nerd out about it with. This is very, very cool stuff! So feel free to leave a comment, and I'd love to jump in and chat about it! :D :) <3 <3 :))))
