Show HN: A production-style recommender using vector retrieval and re-ranking

Posted by ftonato on Friday February 27, 2026 @05:49PM
from the show-hn dept.

I’ve been exploring how recommendation systems are actually implemented in production, beyond just training models.A common pattern I kept seeing is to split the problem into two stages:1. Retrieve a small set of relevant candidates2. Re-rank them using a modelInstead of doing brute-force inference across all items, I built a small prototype around this idea.The flow looks like this:- Store...

Why are "remote" jobs in late 2025 still limited to hiring in US/CA/UK/DE?

Posted by ftonato on Tuesday December 09, 2025 @10:27PM
from the self-post dept.

Throughout 2025, I've been following job boards like YC Jobs, RemoteOK, NoDesk, WeWorkRemotely, and others. Across all of them, I keep seeing a recurring pattern:Many companies advertise "remote" roles, but hiring is limited to the US, Canada, UK, or Germany.

On the core/code repository we have the LICENSE file and it's also present on the README (under the Acknowledgments session).

On the docs page we have under the Acknowledgments session the first item that presents the License (MIT).

If it wasn't clear, I can move to a separate session :)

Fixing it right now, thanks for reporting =)

<1kb virtual DOM - it's fast! Current Virtual DOM implementations are inadequate—Ranging from overcomplicated to abandoned, most are unusable without sacrificing raw performance and size. Million aims to fix this, providing a library-agnostic Virtual DOM to serve as the core for Javascript libraries.
