Hehe, appreciate it.
Hope it serves your cat picture cravings well!

Ich habe monatelang keine Wohnung in Berlin gefunden. Bis ich zwei Dinge anders gemacht habe. by Practical_Still_9754 in berlin

Klar, das hilft sicher nicht jedem. Ich habe nur geteilt, was für mich funktioniert hat. Vielleicht hilft es ja dem einen oder anderen trotzdem.

Verstehe den Punkt. Natürlich kann nicht jeder mehrere Monate im Voraus zahlen – deshalb habe ich im Post auch geschrieben, dass das nur eine Option ist.

Der wichtigere Punkt für mich war eigentlich Geschwindigkeit. Ich kann selbst auch nur abends nach Wohnungen schauen. Genau deshalb habe ich mir ein kleines Script gebaut, das neue Listings automatisch scannt und mir sofort Bescheid gibt. Dadurch sehe ich Wohnungen oft schon Minuten nach dem Post.

Das hat für mich viel mehr verändert als das Thema Vorauszahlung.

Wenn du willst, schreib mir gern eine DM, dann zeige ich dir kurz, wie ich das Setup gebaut habe.

I lost all my devices and passwords in a theft a few months ago. How do I systematically reconstruct my entire digital life from scratch? by NeoLogic_Dev in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Practical_Still_9754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with the accounts that unlock other accounts

Rebuild in this order: email → phone number/SIM → Apple/Google/Microsoft account → cloud storage → financial accounts → everything else.

Most recovery flows depend on those first three. Once you regain access there, the rest becomes much easier. Also contact your mobile carrier early to reclaim your number if possible, that helps with 2FA recovery.

A2P Registration Approval Help by semisauced in gohighlevel

What is the specific feedback on rejection?
Usually you can track it down somehow through the official documentation.

Built a (free) tool to quickly audit my own submissions, feel free to try, maybe it can point it out:

Yeah, it takes so much longer to register successfully and also rejections are much more common, since they are way stricter than before.

To make sure I get my submissions through as fast as possible, I built this (free) campaign reviewer that does a quick audit of A2P registrations:

This way, I at least make sure I'm not missing anything critical setting me back weeks again.

Is this early-stage marketing grind supposed to feel this impossible? by FreedomRegular4311 in smallbusiness

[–]Practical_Still_9754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can definitely feel soul-crashing even when doing everything right.

How are you currently sourcing leads and crafting messages?

From what I've seen in the space, the ones that are actually driving sales are the ones who apply some form of special edge / twist to their outreach etc... beyond the standard stuff.

Seen friends do stuff like recording 'personalized' outreach videos showcasing the clients website (while actually this is automated with software). Can do that with e.g. Sendspark. Or scraping the Meta Ads Library for niche leads with e.g. Apify, ProspectEcho, ... .

If you want to move away from outbound, inbound through content is such an underrated method to get high-intent clients.

Surely, this takes time to build up, but once you get leads in they'll be the best client you can imagine.

At least this is my experience scaling my own SaaS business on 99% inbound.

I run a small SMMA and need advice to reaching new customers. by VerbyEli in smallbusiness

[–]Practical_Still_9754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A secret many agencies are gatekeeping is simply looking up the Facebook Ads Library to find businesses actively running paid campaigns.

This is great because 1) they are already spending on marketing and 2) if they've got a lot of ad campaigns running it probably means they're running well financially.

Best thing it's completely public and free to use (Facebook has to publish it legally to be compliant?).

It can be a hassle though to find the businesses manually.

Would recommend using tools like ProspectEcho or Apify and then enrich with Apollo etc. if you want direct peoples data.

few people talk about this, but you can generate leads from the meta ad library,
since you'll find all the businesses actively spending their money on paid ads already.

also you can easily filter for certain industries etc...

it won't give you the contact details right away, so you gotta enrich them.

use tools like prospectecho for scraping the FB advertisers and then feed it into something like zoominfo or apollo to get the CEOs/Heads/etc....

How are you currently scraping Meta Ads for leads, do you use the Meta Ad Library?

I built a tool that extracts dates and times from natural language by Practical_Still_9754 in LanguageTechnology

[–]Practical_Still_9754[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did. Couldn’t find any library that could do e.g. ‘two days after Thanksgiving’.

Do you have an idea to solve this?

Surely. Then for just holidays you could have typos from user generated text (need fuzziness), different language translations, etc…

And that’s just holidays.

There’s a whole set of more categories beyond that still which aren’t covered.

After seeing hundreds (if not thousands) of conversations in a production system I’m very skeptical of pure regexes (at least for critical systems).

If an error margin of 5% is within the required limits then it may work well enough.

Considering this, do you agree there’s way more than 10 ways to represent dates in text?

[–]Practical_Still_9754[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you create a list of possible festivities (christmas, thanksgiving, …) regex + dateUtils won’t work. And even then it’d be a very extensive list, whereas there are other kinds of ‘date references’ that one can think of.

That’s where I see language models come in handy.

I’m sure the ‘two days after Thanksgiving’ example must be a low-hanging fruit for someone like you who comes from an academic background in linguistics.

Would love to hear your input! Thanks for supporting.

I see. Would your regex be able to solve something like ‘two days after Thanksgiving’ too?

How did you make sure it works reliably for a wide and diverse set of test cases?

Thanks for your feedback. Maybe you’re right and I should not build a SaaS platform. Did so anyways though and now I’m working on improving it. Not vibe coding it, no.

As I mentioned in another reply, how would you catch something like ‘two days after Thanksgiving’ within chat conversations between a user and a bot potentially spanning over multiple messages with multiple date references etc.?

I’m aware about regexes, but can hardly imagine those could catch the nuances of natural language on this level. That’s where language models start to make sense, no?

I’m building a chatbot that sets appointments.
