Ecosmic is on a mission to reduce threat exposure in space by building software for Space Situational Awareness. To achieve this, we built a team of flight dynamics engineers and computer scientists to build & package in-house algorithms into easy-to-use, reliable, and secure products. As an example, our platform recently allowed us to identify a series of close approaches in GEO involving Russia's Luch/Olymp-2 and a Western telecommunications satellite, possibly attributed to SIGINT activity.
We're hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer (mid-level candidates are welcome too!) to aid the effort of unlocking on-premises deployments of our algorithms with Kubernetes, and to contribute to the evolution of our platform.
Our stack includes Python for backend services and high-level algorithm tooling, C++ for performance-critical components, AWS for cloud infrastructure, and Terraform for IaC. We currently use managed serverless services, and we’re beginning a gradual migration from C++ to Rust for its reliability guarantees.
You’d join a team of three software engineers who love working in such a fantastic domain. I currently take care of most of the infrastructure work with the team, and we’re looking for someone who can help us tackle this new challenge.
Thank you for making this! I found the UI initially off-putting as I commonly associate it to vibecoded UIs, and I felt the same with some specific dialogue structures, but I had a lot of fun playing it all at once until the end.
Thanks for the repo link! Gave you a star :) I got the resilient builder ending. I guess my current experience in a startup has been quite useful haha. I know the pain of a million things to do and not enough time to do them all.
You might be interested in Pixi: https://prefix.dev/
It uses uv under the hood for Python dependencies, while allowing you to also manage Conda dependencies in the same manifest (pixi.toml). The ergonomics are really nice and intuitive imo, and we're on our way to replace our Poetry and Conda usage with only Pixi for Python/C++ astrodynamics projects. The workspace-centric approach along with native lockfiles made most of our package management issues go away. I highly recommend it!

Messing with EEG headsets, like the ones by OpenBCI. Being able to perform some operations by just thinking about them sounds so incredibly cool - I've been thinking about this for several years, but it looks like quite an expensive hobby.
As an ex-EEG researcher I can say that acquiring an EEG device is probably the least difficult thing. EEG signals are messy, not reliable and hard to interpret. Without a solid foundation in cognitive psychophysiology you won't have a lot of fun with an EEG device. So, before investing a lot of money into an EEG device you should watch a beginner course on cognitive psychophysiology or get some literature to get the basics down.
On the other hand, you could probably hack a cheap ECG device to measure EEG signals.
Loved it! I immediately thought of a survey we do at work monthly as a check-in for HR purposes, to gauge how we feel about the company, our work, the workload and so on. Right now we do it with a simple Google Form with a mixture of a score based question and an open-ended one. I'd probably like it a lot more from an employee perspective if the questionnaire was served with a system like yours. I imagine it would be cool for a HR member to have a set of metrics derived from the conversation, like a dashboard. Just my two cents. The only negative point is that it feels like the conversation never ends - as others said, it felt like the assistant asked similar questions to points already established before in my mind. It'd be nice to have some sort of progress bar, not sure. Amazing idea anyway, I wish you luck!
I have been using this site: https://artificialanalysis.ai/ . It's still about benchmarks, and it doesn't do deep dives into specific use cases, but it's helpful to compare models for intelligence vs cost vs latency and other characteristics.
Looks nice! I was curious about the effort needed to replicate this result with the Google Wallet API and it ended up being a nice evening project to pull off. Sadly with a demo account you get an ugly [TEST ONLY] tag in the card title with a non published account, and the customization options of the card itself don't allow much leeway. One thing I miss is being able to change the font color.
