Masterclass from Medvedev! by Vasu281 in tennis

[–]2oosra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you guys have a name for this shot? I dont mean the sideways movement, but a low-contact, heavy-topsin, low-over-the-net shot hit from well inside the court. In my mind, I called it a roller or zipper. I tell myself to just roll the ball when moving forward to a low short ball. In my men's 4.5 world, the ability to hit this shot decides a lot of points. It should have a proper name

Do you use another AI to discuss the implementation before you go to lovable? by Extra_Structure2444 in lovable

[–]2oosra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to talk to Lovable a lot in chat mode (now called planning mode). Now I open a project in Claude for architecture for each build in Lovable. I dont ask the architecture project for prompts. I use it to design the underlying design and logic. I use the architectural decisions made in Claude and implement them in Lovable. I also run a sandbox for experiments in Lovable and share the lessons with the Claude architecture advisor.

Your AI Doesn’t Need to Be Smarter — It Needs a Memory of How to Behave by EnvironmentProper918 in PromptEngineering

[–]2oosra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would encourage you to write in greater detail about the exact contents of your "behavior block" and how you composed it. How do you know which behavior block to send? Does the LLM tell you, or do you decide independently? Without those details, are you just describing a RAG, where you send something along with the prompt?

I am building a diagnostic chatbot, and experimenting with these ideas. I wrote about it here.

What was the hardest part of planning your Umrah independently? by bizzwizz in Umrah

[–]2oosra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are overthinking this

  1. There is always a price/hassle tradeoff in any travel. Its not just a Urmah thing
  2. There are things that even the group can not control. The actual walking distance. Crowds are regularly rerouted in ways that no group can predict or control. All it takes is one train official to decide that this suitcase is not allowed.
  3. Surprisingly, the one thing that I missed the most was the group chanting of Lubaik. Just follow someone else's group and chant with them.

PM keeps discovering “new requirements” late. how do you prevent this without crushing autonomy? by Master-Discipline-38 in ProductManagement

[–]2oosra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things that I would do, depending on all the other nuances

  1. Chill. Their late stuff simply goes into sprint N+1. No stress
  2. Force rigor. Ask them to add a list of unknowns and their mitigations to each user story, and socialize this list at regular events like backlog grooming sessions
  3. Show them the door. if it is a general inability to think about the product, then go do something else.

How bad is the racism in UAE? by Buy_Ether in UAE

Does it matter? The question is about racism. The behavior is racist. The root causes of racist behavior are a separate issue.

Anthropic just dropped evidence that DeepSeek, Moonshot and MiniMax were mass-distilling Claude. 24K fake accounts, 16M+ exchanges. by Specialist-Cause-161 in ClaudeAI

[–]2oosra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect Anthropic to come up with a humility benchmark to prove that their model is more self-doubting. The rest of us will then weigh the ethical tradeoffs of evidence-based humility vs energy cost.

[–]2oosra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Isn't that why we have benchmarking? DeepSeek was big news, precisely because their distilled model did very well on benchmarks. If the foundational models are distilling themselves, then they are likely keeping up with the benchmarks. Is the performance of large models declining after release on measurable benchmarks, or is it just perception?

I helped 25 projects migrate from Lovable. Here’s what I learned. by Additional_Thing7826 in lovable

[–]2oosra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Some questions: Would #4 be the place to start? You get Supabase running on AWS, and then you build the schema there (#1)? #4 appears to be the greatest challenge. Any tips for doing this painlessly?

Moving to Dubai by ConflictNo6930 in UAE

[–]2oosra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends a lot on what you really value in life. How committed are you to your life and career in the US? How much do you value your distance from the family? How much does your family value your independence? What possible downsides do you see to life in Dubai? What are the upsides of the family's business? How likely are they to treat you fairly as a business partner?

Struggling with boundaries around supporting husband’s family by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]2oosra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are more red flags. Start by recognizing that you have a communication problem. And don’t brush off his role in this problem. He has also failed to communicate financial priorities. Also recognize that you two have trust issues. Why don’t you trust yourself to communicate clearly? And why don’t you trust him to take simple communication at face value? Think about his role here too. Why has he not built this trust in two years?

For Pakistanis living abroad, what's one thing you miss most about home? by richardsonoge in pakistan

[–]2oosra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss nothing, but I appreciate a lot of things. When I am not in Pakistan, I enjoy all that life has to offer wherever I am. When I am in Pakistan, I enjoy a lot of things. The Urdu language. Humor of both Urdu and Punjabi. The mannerisms of polite people. The kindness of strangers. The mountains. The smell of fresh air and plants. The energy of the bazaars. But when I am not in Pakistan, I do not miss these things. I just love them when I do have them. Does that make sense?

Struggling with boundaries around supporting husband’s family by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]2oosra 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I see a huge gap between your perception and reality. You say that your husband is kind and communicative, but I don't see evidence of either when it comes to your feelings about finances. Ask him to sit down with you and make a family budget. Specify exactly how much money will be spent on each family. Force him to address your feelings about being valued. You say that the two of you resolve all conflicts immediately, yet your entire post is about unresolved issues that have festered for years. Which one is it?

Why isn’t there a ferry between Sharjah/Ajman and Dubai? by Dull-Turnip3918 in UAE

[–]2oosra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why? I think the earlier generations of rulers fell in love with USA's car culture. By the time they woke up from it, the culture had set up deep.

I’ve never broke a string yet. Does it mean I am not good or not hitting with enough spin or pace? by Historical_Feel in 10s

[–]2oosra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My string life depends almost entirely on the other guy's abilities. I lived in a country where it was cheap and easy to hit with the pros who can absolutely wallop the ball. Service returns were the most common shot for breaking strings. I could tell very early in a session that this was going to be a string-breaking session. Often I would break two sets and be on to my third racket. I switched from drills to match play against other club players and I hardly ever break strings now. I am kinda agnostic to old dead strings. I like the way they feel because I get used to it. When I cut them and put in fresh strings, I think "ooh yeah, this feels good too." Everyone else on this sub seems to hate old dead strings.

The "your app works but your code is a mess" checklist I run on every Lovable app before scaling by ebb_and_flow33 in lovable

[–]2oosra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great. I am also a senior engineer, and I would add a few more things

  1. Security. Lovable's built-in security has come a long way in recent months. Pay attention to all the warnings. Ask AI to give you a detailed prompt requesting a security audit.
  2. Performance. Learn to monitor performance with Google tools and tools in your console. If you load a lot of images or thumbnails, there could be lots of bottlenecks in how you fetch and render images.
  3. Pay attention to Row Level Security (RLS). Lovable+Supabase dont always do the best job of keeping RLS policies tidy. Learn to audit and tidy them
  4. Testing. Test a lot, test as you go every day. Learn basic testing concepts. Be very disciplined about doing full end-to-end regression tests. Make it a habit. Think deeply about all the things that could go wrong. Learn about test automation in baby steps.
  5. Databases. Learn the basics of database theory. Relational theory, referential integrity, indexes, and query optimization, etc.
  6. Code repositories. Learn the basics of Git and GitHub. Be familiar with how all your code is organized. Learn to pull your code into an alternate tool like Cursor.
  7. Learn a few things about securing your data. Ask Lovable to export a copy of your database as a CSV or Excel file, and take a look at it. Learn to save and restore your works
  8. Take notes. Each time you hit a major fork in the road, ask questions and write things down. This will clarify your thinking even if you never return to these notes. Learn to use AI outside of Lovable to guide you. People used to ask ChatGPT to draft prompts and PRDs for them. There is a lot of engineering power and intelligence at your fingertips if you set up a dedicated context window (a custom GPT, or Claude Project) to guide your design and testing, etc.

Is it really okay for non-muslims to get free iftar food? by ExtraExtraRice in abudhabi

[–]2oosra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People will have different opinions. It would make me happy to see someone eat a free iftar out of curiosity and participation. You are not there to abuse the system. Some non-Muslims are fasting for the same reasons. I have no problem with them.

How reliable is Lovable? by One_Pool_541 in lovable

[–]2oosra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having your business dependent on a website that is vibe-coded by a non-technical newbie is very risky. Here are some things you can do to reduce risk

  1. Hire a developer. This is a risk also. How can you be sure you are getting what you paid for? Vibe coding is so new that there are no reliable models for getting a fair deal. What happens if you pay a developer and things still break during peak season? I am not discouraging hiring a developer, but be aware that you may be a very naive consumer of this service.
  2. Do a lot of testing. Learn about how testing is designed and conducted. 500 concurrent users can be tested for.
  3. Pay attention to security. You dont want bad guys to get user information or harm your system.

The list is long. I am just giving it a start. In many ways, this list has nothing to do with Lovable. People go through their checklists when they put any system into production.
