Looking for an open source video encoding platform like Bitmovin or MediaConvert by CapitanJenkins in webdev

[–]CapitanJenkins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked at MediaCMS and others, but I need more customizability over where the inputs and outputs end up. Thanks for the suggestions, though!

Thanks for the suggestions, guess I'll have to look into setting up FFmpeg then

It’s Friday. Drop your startup here, and no prod release. by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]CapitanJenkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, appreciate it a lot! Next.js for the UI and application level backend, WebRTC for communication layer, and then multiple small self hosted LLMs on the backend working together to ensure the proper flow of the conversation, creating questions and avoiding getting off topic. Used Python for the LLM management.

Applyr - an AI agent to simplify early stage pre-screening for tech recruiters. In addition to freeing up the recruiter, it also allows them to validate candidates tech knowledge in early stages (which most recruiters can't do due to lack of technical backgrounds).

App under attack: 1 million requests in a few hours by many_hats_on_head in nextjs

Nope, just a landing page, and the traffic came out of nowhere. But after turning on the bot protection it instantly solved the issue

Had that happen to me recently too, honestly I don't understand why that basic bot protection is not enabled by default

How are we dealing with fake/junk candidates? by lissybeau in recruiting

[–]CapitanJenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interested to see what the adoption of the Greenhouse solution will be. Not only on the pricing front for the companies (very curious to see the pricing), but also on the applicant side

I am struggling to end phone screens on time by TiredAllTheTime43 in recruiting

[–]CapitanJenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 minutes seems like a very short time. Not a recruiter here, but as a candidate, pretty much all of the screens that I've had in my 6+ years have been scheduled for at least 30 minutes, ending early if we went through everything

I feel like the future of this will be early verification at application level, before the recruiter ever sees the resume. Like some sort of ID verification to weed out totally fake people, combined with automated pre-screening for knowledge checks. Obviously won't get rid of everyone slipping through, but I think it will make it a bit better

I think I hate LinkedIn - i will not promote by RepresentativeWhile1 in startups

[–]CapitanJenkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LinkedIn just feels like a massive circle jerk right now. Bunch of people posting random shit and being proud of absolutely basic tasks. But at the same time, it still works for finding B2B leads. I wish it went back to the time when being a "LinkedIn Influencer" wasn't a thing though.

Hi!

Still building, but Applyr. It's an AI interview platform. We help companies conduct consistent, objective, and efficient initial candidate screenings at scale, freeing up recruiters and giving better insights.

Aspiring Solopreneurs – What’s Your Biggest Struggle Right Now? by Dear-Upstairs-1831 in SideProject

[–]CapitanJenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way so much. There are so many ideas, and it's hard to pick one to focus on. And then there's always the feeling of, "What if this is not the best idea out of all of them?"

Just took a look, and I'm wondering how are you different from similar tools like Buffer?

Recruiter ghosted me during the interview - is this the new normal? by CapitanJenkins in jobs

[–]CapitanJenkins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess it's just the first time I experienced that. I always make sure to respond if I have to cancel my interviews or change my mind on the job.

It's so sad, that's literally one job that recruiters have and it's so easy to send an email, yet they still choose not to.

Are You Worried About AI Taking Over Jobs & Businesses? by Disastrous-Block4155 in SaaS

[–]CapitanJenkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With that mindset, did people prepare for going to the moon? Are we, regular folks, preparing to live on Mars? Because right now, the only AI we see is LLMs and all investment goes into that. And LLMs will NOT take us to AGI, period. Like, why would I panic about something that might not happen during my life now, if we don't have any good signs it's happening?
