Career-Ops turns any AI coding CLI into a full job search command center. Instead of manually tracking applications in a spreadsheet, you get an AI-powered pipeline that:

Evaluates offers with a structured A-F scoring system (10 weighted dimensions)
Generates tailored PDFs -- ATS-optimized CVs customized per job description
Scans portals automatically (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, company pages)
Processes in batch -- evaluate 10+ offers in parallel with sub-agents
Tracks everything in a single source of truth with integrity checks

Important: This is NOT a spray-and-pray tool. Career-ops is a filter -- it helps you find the few offers worth your time out of hundreds. The system strongly recommends against applying to anything scoring below 4.0/5. Your time is valuable, and so is the recruiter's. Always review before submitting.

Career-ops is agentic: Claude Code navigates career pages with Playwright, evaluates fit by reasoning about your CV vs the job description (not keyword matching), and adapts your resume per listing.

Heads up: the first evaluations won't be great. The system doesn't know you yet. Feed it context -- your CV, your career story, your proof points, your preferences, what you're good at, what you want to avoid. The more you nurture it, the better it gets. Think of it as onboarding a new recruiter: the first week they need to learn about you, then they become invaluable.

Built by someone who used it to evaluate 740+ job offers, generate 100+ tailored CVs, and land a Head of Applied AI role. Read the full case study.

This repository stores transcript and analysis files generated from the official NASA YouTube live streams that covered the Artemis II mission.

The goal of this project is to preserve, organize, and make understandable the spoken content transmitted during this historic mission, so that even people who were not watching live can later understand what happened, what was discussed, and what technical situations occurred throughout each transmission window.

An open-source distributed object storage service tailored for self-hosting

Garage implements the Amazon S3 API and thus is already compatible with many applications.

The main goal of Garage is to provide an object storage service that is compatible with the S3 API from Amazon Web Services. We try to adhere as strictly as possible to the semantics of the API as implemented by Amazon and other vendors such as Minio or CEPH.

In December 2025, MinIO officially entered “maintenance mode” for its open-source edition, effectively ending active development. Combined with earlier moves like removing the admin UI, discontinuing Docker images, and pushing users toward their $96,000+ AIStor paid product, the writing was on the wall: MinIO’s open-source days were over.

Garage: What I chose. Lightweight, Rust-based, genuinely open source. SeaweedFS: Go-based, active development, designed for large-scale deployments but works at small scale. Ceph RGW: If you’re already running Ceph, the RADOS Gateway provides S3 compatibility.

Claude’s constitution is the foundational document that both expresses and shapes who Claude is. It contains detailed explanations of the values we would like Claude to embody and the reasons why. In it, we explain what we think it means for Claude to be helpful while remaining broadly safe, ethical, and compliant with our guidelines. The constitution gives Claude information about its situation and offers advice for how to deal with difficult situations and tradeoffs, like balancing honesty with compassion and the protection of sensitive information. Although it might sound surprising, the constitution is written primarily for Claude. It is intended to give Claude the knowledge and understanding it needs to act well in the world.

Claude itself also uses the constitution to construct many kinds of synthetic training data, including data that helps it learn and understand the constitution, conversations where the constitution might be relevant, responses that are in line with its values, and rankings of possible responses. All of these can be used to train future versions of Claude to become the kind of entity the constitution describes. This practical function has shaped how we’ve written the constitution: it needs to work both as a statement of abstract ideals and a useful artifact for training.

the short version is that it’s now possible to point a coding agent at some other open source project and effectively tell it “port this to language X and make sure the tests still pass” and have it do exactly that.

Does this library represent a legal violation of copyright of either the Rust library or the Python one? #

I decided that the right thing to do here was to keep the open source license and copyright statement from the Python library author and treat what I had built as a derivative work, which is the entire point of open source.

Even if this is legal, is it ethical to build a library in this way? #

After sitting on this for a while I’ve come down on yes, provided full credit is given and the license is carefully considered. Open source allows and encourages further derivative works! I never got upset at some university student forking one of my projects on GitHub and hacking in a new feature that they used. I don’t think this is materially different, although a port to another language entirely does feel like a slightly different shape.

The much bigger concern for me is the impact of generative AI on demand for open source. The recent Tailwind story is a visible example of this—while Tailwind blamed LLMs for reduced traffic to their documentation resulting in fewer conversions to their paid component library, I’m suspicious that the reduced demand there is because LLMs make building good-enough versions of those components for free easy enough that people do that instead.

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.

For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere.

It is an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative to Reddit and other link aggregators, outside of their corporate control and meddling.

Each Lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.
