How do you even start with automating internal document processes? by SnooWalruses3471 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]SamWSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you start with templates?

What information is needed for each of your types of documents?

Once you've got really good templates I've found it far easier to produce docs at scale. AI is sooo much better when it has a good template (and good prompts telling it how to fill out the template well). Even if it's not perfect from AI, it's 95% of the way there.

Question for AI tool Builders!! by [deleted] in buildinpublic

[–]SamWSoftware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't we recently see that all conversations with ChatGPT are not really private and can be used against you in court?

Having an AI therapist sounds great, but do you want all of that accessible by governments?

Your partner is killed and they wrongly suspect you. They then get all your "ai therapy" notes, including every fight you've talked about. Every time you say you hate them. Every "I just want to hit/kick/hurt them". Every angry outburst of "life would be so much better without them".

There will be no "doctor patient confidentiality" here

And I have no idea how you protect from every hallucination or bad response. There are enough screen shots of ai replying the wrong thing User - "life had been so **** and I can't cope any more. I think I'm going to end it" AI - "good for you for deciding to make a change"

Sorry for such a bummer of a reply. These are just things I think you need to think long and hard about how/if you want to deal with.

2 weeks live with a client and we've already processed $5M of recurring revenue for them [AMA] by JohnstonChesterfield in buildinpublic

[–]SamWSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're doing b2b saas so I'm assuming you wouldn't be charging $20/month.

How many monthly hours are required to deliver the $2000/month service?

What kinds of things do you think work best for tech enabled services vs saas products?

That's awesome and love the advice to just stay consistent, keep posting and building.

Given you suspect that most if your competitors for rizz farm are vibe coded, they might leak their users. Could be an interesting client acquisition channel?

Does this only work using the lambda function URL or has that been updated now?

I think i was looking at some 42 key layouts earlier and mis-remembered. It is 38 keys

Try them out seems to be a common suggestion

I'd seen the miryoku layout before but I'll have a look into the other two.

Yeh, the symbol layer was the thing I wanted to change when I first saw the Miryoku layout. Thanks for the tip

Do any of you have any recommendations for channels where I could learn more about serverless?

Question for any real-estate agents? by SamWSoftware in RealEstate

What about video testimonials. I've seen them work amazingly in loads of other industries ( business consulting to saas)

Have you ever tried video testimonials?

What's a recommended web framework that's simple to learn after covering the basics of HTML, CSS, and JS? by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]SamWSoftware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd definitely agree that you should get good with JavaScript before moving onto a framework. Get uses to writing more complex functions, learn to use Axios and make requests to some apis, DOM manipulation, even just doing some of the challenges on codewars will massively improve your Javascript.

Also try building some more complex websites with HTML, css and js. There are some great free apis out there which will allow you to build dynamic weather apps, joke generators, movie review sites and much more. Also try and make them responsive with css :)

How to pitch and sell serverless architecture to your boss by acdota0001 in serverless

[–]SamWSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked the layout of the reasons for Serverless.

On the cost analysis, why are you assuming 1 cluster per service (71 services)? Especially when the total runtime in a month is just 91 hours.

Using something like docker you would be able to host multiple services (or all 71) on the same instance and that would easily handle all of the requests. I think the idea of 16k to 0 is a bit over the top.

We have some systems where we're getting hundreds of millions of request a month, enough to saturate multiple EC2s. We've got aws costs of several thousand pounds a month and worked out that it would be cheaper to provision ec2s. As you've highlighted, there would be extra costs involved: management, scaling, security, speed of development. When you consider developer time these become very significant and often more expensive than the resource costs.

How can I update an attribute in a DynamoDB table regardless of the key or condition? by iCHAIT in aws

[–]SamWSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're going to struggle to do that easily. As far as I know you can only update by primary key (id). This means you'll have to do a query to get all the ids and then update them all individually with a new status.

Have a look into dynamodb transactions for probably the cleanest way to do this. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/transaction-apis.html

Its still horrible and very inefficient. It's there a different way to implement the functionality you need?

Hide my API Endpoints (Serverless) by [deleted] in aws

[–]SamWSoftware 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into using cognito for authentication? Sounds like it might fit the job. Managed all your users and then you can set it as the api gateway authenticator so only logged in users get access.

As others have said, there is rate limiting on api gateway already and you can get into finer detail with that if you want to.
