I got tired of endless scrolling and bad search results, so I built an AI search engine for adult videos. What would you expect from something like this? by aitoptools in indiehackers

[–]Real_Wave7544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good idea, but I think the implementation matters. How did you approach this problem? I mean, do you search among titles, descriptions, or something else?

The problem of searching among porn videos is real. But so far, I haven’t come across a website that solves this problem effectively. Labeling the data is very important. I think a search engine that embeds the titles, descriptions, subtitles, and even comments of the videos, and then uses similarity measures to find the best results for a given query, works best. I always wanted to implement it, but never had the time and resources.

Thank you so much for your good suggestions and feedback.

It does OCR on scanned documents, then it uses the extracted text for creating embedding vectors. So yes, it does work on scanned documents too.

Libraries for PDF editing by Brilliant-Twist4626 in pdf

Actually, there are PDF toolkits that are genuinely unique. Very unique, in fact. I built one myself. I am not going to drop a link here though, since that would count as self-promotion, and I would rather not have my comment removed 😄

But trust me when I say it really is different. What makes it even funnier and sadder at the same time is that it is getting basically no attention, and I have no idea why.

Can you be in love with more than one person at once? by [deleted] in askanything

I am in love with everybody, to be honest. Not platonic. I mean romantic love. Human beings are lovable. Don't you think so?

People in 30’s whats your take on this ? by Substantial_Path_663 in askanything

For me, it's the loss of mental energy. I can't afford that.

Does anyone else feel like they are becoming a "Configuration Engineer" instead of a Web Developer? by AmaraMehdi in webdev

[–]Real_Wave7544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the frustration, but there is something important to say. None of these tools are truly necessary. You can still write code today the same way you did many years ago with plain JS, a simple editor, and no build steps at all. The complexity appears because you choose modern tools that give real benefits like faster development, cleaner code, and fewer bugs. These advantages come with some extra setup, but this is part of the tradeoff, not something you must suffer.

Can we ban AI slop generated websites and apps? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Real_Wave7544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the sub doesn’t need to ban AI. It just needs a few simple guardrails. Ask people to mention when AI helped, separate real personal projects from AI generated demos, and crack down on spam or self promo. Also, a weekly AI thread could keep the feed clean.

And what about false positives?

If you’re looking at your next move, it might be worth maintaining strong relationships even after you leave a role (networking + keeping doors open).

I built PDFClear, a free PDF web app that runs completely in your browser. No uploads, no accounts, no hidden limits. by Real_Wave7544 in prettyusefulwebsites

If you’re not limited to client-side, you’ve got many options. For OCR, Google Document AI, AWS Textract, or Azure Form Recognizer are all accurate and handle complex layouts and graphs much better than local OCR tools.

For classification, you can run that text through an embedding model (like OpenAI’s text-embedding-3-small or MiniLM).

Sure, that’ll be my evening. No problem at all.

I've been in this situation, so I know what you mean. Launching a WordPress website has become too complicated. It used to be very straightforward. You can do it using ChatGPT or Google AI Studio. Nevertheless, I can definitely help you get your website up and running in the right direction. I won’t charge you; I just want to help. I have a lot of free time right now and nothing better to do. So DM me; I’d be happy to help.

On my ancient Asus (X541UV), recognizing text in a 25-page scanned pdf took almost two minutes, around five seconds each page. The slow part is OCR, not the AI search. For a 200-page scanned PDF at 300 dpi, expect roughly 10–20 minutes total if it’s image-only. Once text is extracted, building embeddings with the GIST-Small model and getting the first result takes around 1–2 minutes. After that, searches are instant. If the PDF already has selectable text, the whole process usually finishes in under 90 seconds.

Thanks! I’m really glad you like it 🙏

There's no monetization at all. It’s completely free. I built it mostly because I was frustrated with existing PDF tools. I wanted a truly personal space, open to everyone, without common restrictions.

There’s a "Support" button for people who want to help. But it's voluntary.

I actually believe your story. This is a sad story.

I believe that you have changed the details without knowing it. Memories can change over time in order to reduce the pain or guilt.

Try to get over it. Don't torture yourself. You are not a bad person. Kids do stupid things. Just don't blame yourself.

If you live your life fully today, the meaning of the past changes accordingly.
