Humans& with Alexis Ross, Manya Bansal, and Niloofar Mireshghallah

For AI to work with us, it needs to understand us I am SUPER EXCITED to publish the 145th episode of the Weaviate Podcast with Alexis Ross, Manya Bansal, and Niloofar Mireshghallah from humans&! What if AI was more human? Well, we are currently on a fast track towards the opposite! AI models are huge making advances in coding, math and are jev-ing their way through classification. But they don't teach, write, or perform more human tasks as well as they could be! Persimmon is one of the most exciting releases in AI recently! It is a user model designed to predict how people respond in multi-turn conversations, including natural turn-taking and multi-person interaction. The goal is not to build a more human-sounding assistant. It is to match the distribution of human behavior, including pus…

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2026)

Hello! I’m interested in your Senior Fullstack Engineer position. I believe my experience is a strong match: - 7 years of fullstack development, primarily with TypeScript and Node.js, - built a React frontend at Reelay for an AI voice assistant analyzing customer calls, - the product processed audio through transcription, chunking, embeddings, Weaviate retrieval, and LLM analysis to generate summaries, agreements, action items, and key questions, - developed the frontend against GraphQL APIs while also working on retrieval logic, structured LLM outputs, hallucination reduction, and latency/cost optimization, - designed high-load, real-time systems using WebSockets, Centrifugo, RabbitMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL, and ClickHouse, - comfortable taking ownership: previously led three developers…
