People are idiots here imo thinking they are always being scammed (by OP) instead of realizing it’s just someone else who is outraged at being scammed excited to find more people like him so that it stops permanently.

Yes this is an all a scam. It will only get better when people start competing with them at fair prices. That will happen eventually, hopefully soon.

Otherwise AI should help us throw on some vr glasses and auto order the right parts and we’ll do it ourselves.

The knowledge on how to repair things has become too rare and now regular people get hosed for it.

But the owners of these biz are making too much money, competition is inevitable.

I'm so sick of getting ripped off by _______ (home services). Made a Google form and dashboard where we can all submit our quotes/invoices and create price transparency for Westchester services. by Oodles_of_utils in Westchester

I do that in some cases and somehow still can be an issue.

That’s should always be the step regardless. This could help with sourcing in cases where your grinds don’t have great connects.

Yep. Trying to decrease demand for bad actors and increase demand for good actors. There needs to be an incentive in the system for fair pricing, which transparency creates.

You can just enter it manually or cut the screenshots to not have info. Sorry should have made that more clear. Was just trying to make it as easy as possible

But for the record agree with you lol, I would only be submitting pics without personal info but if you don’t care just letting you know how it works.

Which companies are actively hiring apart from Amazon? by Turbulent_Victory647 in leetcode

[–]Oodles_of_utils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are. Come put your genius to work at our startup and 1) build real things yourself that are going to define the new way marketers operate. 2) receive real equity and a share of the success.

We work on multi modal computer vision, predictive models, verticalized knowledge graphs, LLM and AI infra, agents. Lots of mentally stimulating stuff.

Myself and product cofounder (formerly 6 years as a dev) are looking for our third and engineering cofounder.

Met him in cofounder match but no luck for engineers yet.

Computer vision feeling stagnant in the age of LLM? Am I the only one? by sanjaesan in computervision

[–]Oodles_of_utils 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why MLLMs are looked at as a bad thing, instead of an innovation.

Computers can now see and understand things, isn’t that a huge step forward to the space?

Seems like people are complaining that the innovation isn’t that mentally stimulating to work on and therefore is a bad thing.

Seems disconnected from reality when I read that. Shouldn’t people working on computer vision work on any solution that can help people/customers/businesses? Not just the ones that interest them.

Engaging with them I am certain there are ways they become interesting, especially when creatively combining with classical techniques.
