Re: Show HN: A structured list of jobs from “Who is hiring?”, parsed with GPT

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 GPT-3 / GPT-3.5 (I do not have API access to GPT-4, yet, but it already works quite well even with the older models). It then puts the job postings into a structured list that is hopefully easier to skim than the original postings. There are some additional features like sorting jobs by semantic similarity (based on the text embeddings from OpenAI). Filtering, sorting and saving favorites is implemented client-side, so your data and preferences remain local to your browser.

Originally, this wasn't even meant to be a public product, but if people find it useful (and HN is fine with it), I'll try to keep it running. I've also written a short article about how the parsing works behind the scenes [2]. It's quite amazing how easy many of the classic NLP tasks have become with the newer LLMs.

Happy to answer any questions about the project!

This is really nice. I have 1 nitpicky comment on the blog. The font used is jarring for me to read.

It would be great to add location and role filters.

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).

Very cool! Would be nice to remove "competitive salary" from the "salary stated" filter. Are we going to assume everyone else is a noncompetitive salary? Maybe require a number for salary stated to count

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.

Any plans for making this open source?
