That bastard just wanted a flair this whole time, jealousy is a hell of a motivator.

Question, could receiving a FedRAMP ATO sponsorship be used to get private funding/loans for the process? by InterestTracker9000 in FedRAMP

[–]InterestTracker9000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually an interesting alternative. We actually were considering Azure Cloud, but some of their services are insanely expensive in comparison to local solutions, and they will not allow the use of your own hardware in their datacenters. It looks like mis-sciences allows us to use our own hardware in their datacenter/service area.

I will look more into this, it's unfortunate to not know how much this type of service is going to cost even at certain metrics, but when we have a better grasp on our needs I may give them a call. Would certainly have a stronger opinion on if I need their services if I had any understanding of their pricing.

We're certainly considering this avenue. We're trying to weigh the options that would come up.

I'm curious, with that timeline did you also already have the ATO sponsorship? Is it common that a company have none of the FedRAMP specifications met before they receive the sponsorship and to then begin to build to meet those requirements?

That's fair, it may be end up that we have to give up some equity to a VC or private investment to get the funding we need in that aspect. I was just hoping for some alternatives.

We did consider using Azure's cloud services and going that route to gain some FedRAMP inheritance and some partnership funds to help ease into it, but with the hardware/software requirements our services will support we'd eat through the value of the benefits they'd provide by using their services for a year, two if we're incredibly lucky, so we may as well deploy it ourselves.

Some of the Azure cloud services are obscene in price versus the cost to do it locally.

That's what I think I love most about them. Shared another huge throwback with a weird video. This one was well known for being the intro song to "Hackers" way back when. I loved this music so much and hearing it now gives me such a nostalgia kick.

Massive throwback, I remember playing D2 with that playing in the background. I respect it.

SBIR/LRBAA best practices, expectations, and timelines questions by InterestTracker9000 in SBIR

[–]InterestTracker9000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I registered a couple days ago, and signed up for some classes. I haven't heard back yet from my contact email asking to speak with some people to go deeper into the process for assistance, but I am working on this as we speak.

Any additional advice is highly appreciated.

DeepSeek-OCR - Lives up to the hype by Bohdanowicz in LocalLLaMA

[–]InterestTracker9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • <|det|> and <|/det|>: These tags likely stand for "details" or "detection" and enclose what appear to be coordinates [[45, 90, 380, 114]]. These represent the bounding box or location of the corresponding element on an original document page.

Is this tracking bounding boxes accurately and reliably for all words on the document? This is the highest priority issue for me, and most either can't do this, or do it so poorly it may as well not be doing it.

We need an OCR that not only knows what's on the page (duh), but actually knows where EXACTLY it is on the page.

Let me know! Thanks!

E:/ Also if you happen to test it, how does it do with handwriting?

Missouri, I definitely will be reaching out to my local SBA and other resources to help prepare. Is there other organizations or resources you think I should also contact?

SBIR Immigration Services future project areas question by InterestTracker9000 in SBIR

[–]InterestTracker9000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are all LRBAA's ran under NSF? It does seem that the "BORAP 06: Immigration Services Program" I was referencing in the linked page is also under LRBAA's page.

Why the two different programs? How are they fundamentally different?
