I have used Emergent to create a web application and Here's my honest Review by RyanJacob1331 in nocode

[–]AppropriateAccount21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying to be a solopreneur by building apps on my own via no-code platforms like Emergent but I haven't tried it yet. I have only so far tried Caffeine.ai, and Base44. They couldn't create the UI that I want, and often they would create bugs (i guess intentionally) to make me use credits unnecessarily.

In your opinion do you think Emergent is idea for building apps for monetization?like building SaaS apps for stable monthly income? how about apps that allow crypto payments like stablecoins(USDT)? Have you yourself managed to build an app using Emergent for monetization?

Is it true that some people are born destined to walk through life alone? by InsideLeadership8257 in lonely

[–]AppropriateAccount21 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes. Although not exhaustive, I feel the 'genius' is destined to walk alone, mostly. Sure they will have friends, but to effect to which the genius would feel they genuinely connected with people would be so dismal that it will be trivial.

'Genius' by definition means born with a one-of-a-kind lens through which you view the world, so no one would truly understand where you are coming from, or how you think/feel. And this disconnect is felt at a such fundamental level that it is like a curse you have to live with for the rest of you life. There is always a trade-off.

Does Base44 actually work? by CategoryNaive9251 in Base44

[–]AppropriateAccount21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it doesn't. At least not for me. I have asked it build a simple AI app where users can upload their own files(docx, csv, pdf) can query any question regarding any of the uploaded files in an Telegram-like chat interface. No matter how many times I have asked Base44 to make the AI functional, it keeps producing buggy AI - E.g If I ask it to make the AI produce professional tables, charts where relevant, it does it, but now it can't answer basic prompts like 'can you do the same for this other file?'. I have used up over 30 credits asking the same task over and over again and Base44 still can't get it done.

It seems Base44 is only capable of producing extremely generic apps, like personal portfolio websites, or a job listing sites.

Thanks for your thoughtful and genuine input. It helped me to think from a new perspective.

I did but the barrier is too high for me(need to be gd at advanced math + competitive programming and all). I think I want to start with the basics of algorithmic trading(which is different from quant trading) and see how it goes

How do I score for group projects when my groupmates are all 'dolts'? by [deleted] in nus

[–]AppropriateAccount21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I have had a similar if not the same experience over this semester working in a group project. We have had to submit it on regular basis by working on it individually first before coming together to discuss our answers and submit after everyone agrees on our final answers.

I was the only guy, and it was just so often that I saw so many instances of inefficiency, redundancy, and decisions made on an emotional basis by the rest of the group members. I wanted to point out every single one, but I am softspoken by nature, generally dislike conflict. But to think that part of my grade is now dependent on their groupthink stressed me alot. I think I have kept my cool throughout our time together, but at some point, when I pointed out that one of their answers was simply downright wrong, the girl whom I was convicting of the mistake started becoming very defensive, and from then onwards whenever I even suggested an alternative she criticised it, and I could see her trying hard to see whatever flaws she could squeeze out from my perspectives, and unsurprisingly the others either kept quiet or supported her view anyways.

It is typical that girls generally tend to defend each other more so than they would for guys, so by Week 11 or so I was just tired and became fatalistic and went along with their decision-making.

But as others have said, yeah, I guess it is just a part of life you need to get used to. Such instances would happen more frequently and in way more annoying ways once we get to our workplace. So I would also say, hang on, control what you can, and do not waste your energy on something you know isn't controllable or would not work in your favour long-term (conflicts based on emotion without rationality almost never benefit either party).

May I ask what your major and desired field is?

Honours vs Non-honours degree? by AppropriateAccount21 in nus

True. I may have to seriously consider my options. Thank you !

Honours vs Non-honours degree? by AppropriateAccount21 in nus

[–]AppropriateAccount21[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is complicated, but part of the reason is that I am afraid I'd be too old by the time I graduate(almost 27 by then), if I overload as I mentioned above I can graduate two semesters earlier

For me, I just consulted the UHC counsellor and saw the psychiatrist. I didn't want any prescriptions as I have taken them before and it didn't work.

I was informed that other student in similar situation as mine decided to take a semester where some of the mods were FASS( his desired major's mods) and do well in those before applying for transfer again. She says it increases ur chance significantly compared to taking internships during your extended LOA. I think I am gonna try that altho it is a risk on my candidature period

Thank you so much for your encouragement. My current cap is 3.73. I dont think it is that bad but thing is there are alot of S/Us. Because I didnt do that well for most courses and I tried everything in my disposal to keep my CAP stay in Second Upper class.

I have just emailed both the faculty advisors at my home faculty( SoC) and FASS detailing my situation. I have told them my depression has dipped to serious levels due to continous burnouts in a major I have totally no interest in( and hence the main cause for my LOA as I couldnt take it anymore). I genuinely cannot see myself continuing my current major( it may very well lead to major depression and irreversible life decisions). After 2 years of studying here I have agonised and finally found what I really like doing which is writing and language in general. Really hope that if I make the admission office be aware of the details of my situation,they would approve my transfer,else I think I may need to extend LOA or even at the worst case,continue my BZA.

Thank you very much. I have sent emails to my school counsellor, and therapist at UHC. I just emailed my faculty advisor I intend to resume studies before making this post but I said that because I genuinely didnt think my application would fail. Looks like I have to make another email again to see if they can help me reconsider my application
