Show HN: HN Resume to Jobs – AI Powered Job Matching Tailored to Your Resume
Hey HN! I'm excited to show off this side project I've been working on. This project matches your resume with the best matching jobs from the monthly HN Who's Hiring post. It works by creating a vector embedding of your resume using OpenAI's embedding API, and then ranking the jobs using a vector similarity score. (You can toggle between max inner product, cosine, and euclidean in the "Advanced Options")<p>I was laid off in August and it took a whole 6 months for me to find my new job. Fortunately, I found my new role on January's HN Who's Hiring post. So I hope this will prove useful to any job seekers out there. I know it's a tough time right now, but you will get through it!<p>Thanks HN! I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback!
Show HN: Minutes – Save up to 20% of salespeople's time
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share something I've been working on that I think could be really helpful for sales teams. Minutes is a startup that utilizes OpenAI technology to automate the transcription and summarization of sales calls.<p>What Minutes is doing can be described in 3 steps:
1. Taking your audio or video and transcribing it to text
2. Taking the most important and relevant information and creating a summary, including key points and the next tasks
3. Creating a follow-up email, including the summary points and next steps<p>Story behind it:
As an entrepreneur who handles sales and marketing, I noticed a common challenge: the amount of time managers spend on creating call summaries and writing follow-up emails. Not only is it time-consuming, but it's also often a hassle to ensure accuracy.
To tackle this issue, I decided to delve deeper and spoke with several sales directors. Turns out, this problem is widespread, and even salespeople themselves dislike the administrative burden it brings. Inspired by these insights, I created Minutes.<p>Call to action:
Here's where you come in. Sign up for Minutes using the code "minutes_alpha," and you'll receive 60 free transcription minutes to play with the service. I genuinely value your feedback and insights, as they will help us refine Minutes and tailor it to the specific needs of sales teams everywhere.<p>Thank you for your support, and I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing your thoughts.<p>Warm regards, Bogdan, founder of Minutes

Show HN: Git credential helper using OAuth in browser
I authenticate to many Git hosts from many machines and got tired of generating and copying personal access tokens. With credential helper git-credential-oauth, there are no personal access tokens or SSH keys to configure. Instead you authenticate in browser using OAuth.<p>Git Credential Manager (included with Git for Windows) has a similar feature but it's awkward for Linux users to install. git-credential-oauth is cross platform and packaged in many Linux distributions.

Show HN: Word2vec Algorithm in ~100sloc with NumPy
Here's a small demonstration of the fundamental aspects of the word-to-vec
algorithm. It's implemented in a single python script and depends only on a single text file for training.<p>It's not meant to be blazingly fast or anything, just a toy example to aid my understanding of how word vectors might be learnt from a corpus.

Show HN: Discipline.io – Make binding commitments to your better self
Hi HN,<p>It's super hard to quit addicting apps. Existing solutions are non-binding, and therefore, require constant self-discipline and vigilance to be effective. Which is ironic, considering the problem we are trying to solve, is a lack of self-discipline.<p>There exists a physical solution to this problem, in the form of a time-locked safe[1]. It’s effective for reducing app usage, but it's cumbersome and inconvenient.<p>Fundamentally, what these lock-boxes do is impose a real-world cost on breaking your commitment. It’s not impossible to break your commitment, but it would require destroying the lock-box, and that incurs a cost.<p>I created a digital version of this, as an app (Android-only). Commitment’s are backed with cash deposits, and the phone API’s are used to detect violations and enforce compliance. No self-reporting required. And it even works if the monitoring app is uninstalled, or its background service disabled.<p>An example commitment: Stop using Tinder, for the next week, or forfeit $20 to the Red Cross charity.<p>The solution also generalizes to other types of commitments:<p><pre><code> - Commit to using an app more (e.g. meditation)
- Commit to visiting a location (e.g. gym)
- Commit to making a phone call (e.g. mom)
</code></pre>
It’s currently only available for Android, but I'm considering doing an IOS version as well. Hope you like it, and please share any feedback you might have in the comments!<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.thekitchensafe.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.thekitchensafe.com</a>

Show HN: Magma – Multiplayer AI for Artists
Hello HN community! I’m one of the founders of Magma, a multiplayer art platform. You might recall our earlier post (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30869131" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30869131</a>), and today we’re sharing a significant update with our artist-focused, multiplayer AI assistant, a first in the realm of collaborative creative tools. Hope you’ll like it!<p>See how it works in this YouTube video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESJfjwxLjk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESJfjwxLjk</a>. For in-depth understanding, here’s our documentation (<a href="https://help.magma.com/en/articles/6711598-beta-ai-assistant" rel="nofollow">https://help.magma.com/en/articles/6711598-beta-ai-assistant</a>) and our AI manifesto (<a href="https://magma.com/aimanifesto" rel="nofollow">https://magma.com/aimanifesto</a>) which is a guiding document for us.<p>We're inviting you to get hands-on with this new feature. Join any of these canvases (up to 50 live contributors each): <a href="https://magm.ai/qnss" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/qnss</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/ei74" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/ei74</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/38mr" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/38mr</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/z1ti" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/z1ti</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/zdub" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/zdub</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/ed93" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/ed93</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/1l84" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/1l84</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/xvu5" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/xvu5</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/gd9j" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/gd9j</a>, <a href="https://magm.ai/pu6e" rel="nofollow">https://magm.ai/pu6e</a>.

With our AI handling routine tasks, artists can focus on true creativity. Importantly, our AI preserves artists' copyright as it provides a clear distinction between human-generated and AI-generated content.<p>Beyond just art, Magma is a powerful tool for game dev and animation, offering powerful design & review tools for all stages of the creative process. Our Slack/GDrive-like workspaces (we call them Artspaces) expose API and even shell tools. One can even render any artwork in the terminal. :)<p>Technically speaking, our collaborative drawing engine is powered by Typescript, Node.JS, WebGL, with a hint of WebAssembly for hand-optimized performance that even Chromebooks can handle. The backend also leverages a high performance Typescript Deepkit Framework <a href="https://deepkit.io" rel="nofollow">https://deepkit.io</a><p>Our AI assistant runs on a worker-based architecture akin to Gitlab CI workers, currently leveraging Stable Diffusion 2.1. Future developments will allow connecting your own AI worker, training custom models within Magma, and plugging in API keys from other AI backends.<p>Feedback, questions, thoughts? Let's discuss! Happy creating with a helping hand of AI!<p>P.S. A shout-out to the HN community, our last post here helped us connect with an amazing technical angel investor who has made significant contributions. Looking forward to more such productive connections!
