Who would spend even a minute for a unknown company called 'Qdrant' ?

They would develop for Google because Google would give an additional value to their CV.


This is an incredibly dumb comment that you should delete. Anyone even remotely aware of RAG, LLMs and vector databases has heard of Qdrant.


That was a dumb comment, but you are wrong. I am remotely aware of LLMs (how could one not be, in this day and age) and I have never heard of Qdrant.


I knew putting LLM in that list of pre-reqs would result in a comment like this. Oh well.


I am remotely aware of all the three things you listed (and have experimented a bit with them) and I haven't heard of them.


Once a comment in Hacker News gets replies, it cannot be deleted anymore.


Yeah I think you’d take the GSoC so you could have qdrant and gsoc on your cv, but also many folk do need a job to pay bills, and even an “unknown” company paying bills and being experience on your CV is better than Walmart (in my case The Warehouse)

[edit: s/Qurans/qdrant, sigh autocarrot]


How much are they paying? It is $current_year and at some point we should demand that all job postings (this is a job posting) should come with salary ranges at a minimum.

Are they even compliant with the law with this post?

It’s not a job. It’s an incentivised open source contribution program for college students.


When other organizations have done this they just pay the same as Google.


> we should demand that all job postings (this is a job posting) should come with salary ranges at a minimum

Agreed. Not even considering jobs that pay under 120k, not worth my time. The literal only reason to hide the range is so that you can lowball people


I have no idea :-/


They recently raised a Series A: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39101682

Additionally, the product that this Summer of Code is for is open-source so it's a win-win for everyone.


I wonder if Google wants rights to what is developed in GSoC.

If so, that might explain the lack of invitation.


> I wonder if Google wants rights to what is developed in GSoC.

They don’t. I participated in GSoC working on something that competes directly with Google (LibreOffice) and was never asked to assign copyright or anything like that.

IMO GSoC is a relatively cheap way for Google to get some goodwill and boost their brand among college students; it’s not really a core part of their competitive business strategy.


That's very cool then. Thanks for responding.


> ... unknown ...

This is a resounding instance of "tell me you don't know the domain without telling me you don't know the domain" and I think you'll find them interesting if you look into it.


Do you hire?


Thanks for asking. We are not hiring at this stage.


Do you hire outside of US? what about Europe?

I am open for low or mid size startups where I can contribute most.


Had been any attack like that in the past?


an idea: perhaps you can automatically download all the requirements in the background when the page is launched to save some time?


I can, but I usually don't want to :) I'd rather not force everyone who happens to open the page to download 20 MB before they decide to interact with the code.

The network may be fast and the traffic cheap in some parts of the world, but not in others.


Bad idea, not ever one has an unlimited data plan.


There may be some middle ground where the download starts when you click in a text editor, or hover over the "run" button
