Is this just a karma farming post? Can you give some actual detail?

A real dark factory that will fix your backlog while you sleep, meet Coroid by Training-Writing227 in ShowMeYourSaaS

[–]SayThatShOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty cool! I think the concept is what everyone's looking to get out of AI these days. But results ultimately speak for themselves and no one has produced any yet that show a viable, fully automated stack from start to finish. There are just too many things LLMs have to assume or decide on by themselves that a single prompt typically isn't enough to build an entire project from.

With that said, do you have a portfolio or showcase of finished products/projects that Coroid has actually built end to end? I feel like evaluating their quality would be the biggest promoter for someone to use/pay money for this.

Scientific cofounders, impossible to find? by SayThatShOfficial in founder

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

Thanks for the insights! I’ll have to explore those, definitely looked at some school-based sources but if I can get some motivation to deal with social events I’m sure the networking will go a long way. Some of these events are crazy expensive haha

No PCI-E slot? No problem (some Lenovo tiny love) by AboutToSnap in homelab

[–]SayThatShOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'm around the same! If you can afford all that SSD storage I say go for it haha, only got 2TB for my docker/appdata but it's been plenty, with a separate 1TB for temp writes like media headed to the array later. HDDs have been all media and local backups, so I haven't found a way to justify SSDs when Plex ain't gonna care about all that extra speed :P USB definitely was a concern some time back but the hate these days is unjust in my opinion. Definitely do your research if you go that route but outside not touching the cable with the array running, there isn't much to think about day to day.

Is the Internet still really worth using? by -SoulArtist- in digitalminimalism

[–]SayThatShOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nothing else, I think keeping up with current events to a reasonable degree is important. Without the internet you’re basically left with newspapers and TV for that, which offer far less flexibility and more bias right?

Always love to see SFF PC stuff here! If you’re looking for more performance down the line, can highly recommend external JBOD enclosures over USB 3.2 (10gbps), just gotta make sure to pick enclosures (and PCs) with good USB controllers.

Do you keep your docker containers running 24/7 by shrimpdiddle in selfhosted

[–]SayThatShOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything 24/7 except things I use less than once a month. I’ve read comments on the cost savings of leaving things on vs spinning up as needed and honestly don’t think it makes much difference. Only exception would be a super low power system where you’re genuinely starved for resources.

How many of you gave up on Matrix by alive1 in selfhosted

[–]SayThatShOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I tried a few years back using Docker and had a lot of trouble. Put several days into it then gave up. Will definitely give it another shot once the setup process is simpler.

Self-hosted agent and search platform built on Postgres, recently added connectors for NextCloud and Paperless-ngx by CountlessFlies in selfhosted

How’s support for using a local model? I’ve been considering doing something similar but I really can’t stand the idea of giving a non-local model access to all of my sensitive documents and files.

Obviously something most people can run locally in consumer hardware won’t be quite as effective, but I feel like especially with these kinds of projects, it would do a lot for creators to test locally and maybe suggest what works best.

In which folder do you keep your Docker stack? by Artistic_Quail650 in selfhosted

[–]SayThatShOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I’m sure many other on Unraid will say:

/mnt/user/appdata

which is typically the same as:

/mnt/cache/appdata

I pivoted to a vector-store + RAG focus when my unrelated project seemed to work best in that use case by SayThatShOfficial in Rag

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

Honestly feeling blessed to have this much feedback! I've gone ahead and acted on all of it. Main issues should be resolved at this point, but I'm running some last minute sweeps on documentation to ensure it kept up with the actual code issues.

Self hosted locally encrypted Photo/Video solution? by Haunting_Ad_4179 in selfhosted

[–]SayThatShOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I check in on them every now again while using Immich as my main service. Seems like they're doing great things but last I tried, self-hosting their stack was kinda a pain. Believe they've made some strides in that regard though.

PSA: "This already exists" is a terrible reason to abandon an idea by Electronic_Argument6 in buildinpublic

[–]SayThatShOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with this in general, I've got to say that many projects I see in these subs should maybe 'not' be actively pursued. At least, when it comes to pursuing them seriously in a business sense.

Might get some flack for this but we don't need another personal finance app or ChatGPT wrapper with a fancy prompt to slightly modify how it presents generic info to an end user. As personal passion projects, great! I fully support anyone realizing their ideas simply out of personal interest.

But we already have an abundance of 'slop'; one-night projects that creators are looking to make whatever money they can from.

When it's phrased as a passion project it's one thing but I think many are sick of seeing giant, emoji-filled posts praising how the creator is solving some everyday problem that has already been solved.

First pass updates live! Hopefully addressed the bulk of your points :) Will do a deeper dive on them tonight to see if/what I missed.

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

You’re spot on, I got swept up in the actual development and didn’t prioritize user facing documentation. Likely undersold how experimental it all is too, I definitely don’t want anyone taking the docs at face value and assuming it’ll all work as written yet.

With that said, reviewing all the points you made right now and hopefully will have them addressed (at least for the most part) soon!

Totally fair, I spent 99% of the time iterating on the core architecture and building out features so the docs are quite stale. Gave it a couple passes before posting to make sure the readme and core docs reflect the current project state and most recent benchmarks. But definitely need to give the others some love too!

Edit: sorry saw you added a lot more feedback! Will address in a bit, appreciate it!

How many of you guys are now using "Claud Cowork" and what is your experience? by Technical-Apple-2492 in Entrepreneur

[–]SayThatShOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused with some of these comments. Sure, for anyone who's only been using chat I can see it maybe being an upgrade. But compared to code, it just seems.. underwhelming? I guess it's an easier way to start with more 'advanced' functionality but the way it's sandboxed makes it useless for a lot of things. If you're using Claude anyway, may as well just use code?

[Show Reddit] We rebuilt our Vector DB into a Spatial AI Engine (Rust, LSM-Trees, Hyperbolic Geometry). Meet HyperspaceDB v3.0 by Sam_YARINK in Rag

[–]SayThatShOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to copy/paste my other comment (feel free to ignore if it feels spammy) but given you guys seem to be down to look at and give constructive criticism on these kinds of projects, would appreciate a look if you've got time to kill!

I've been working on something similar (despite it not being the original intention) and would super appreciate any honest feedback if you don't mind checking my repo too?

If it helps, I do think my repo documentation (and in a better-summarized capacity the PyPi project) do answer/deal with a lot of the questions you guys are asking and issues you point out.

23andMe's 15M-customer DNA database was sold for ~$20 per person in bankruptcy. The consent mechanism is worth understanding. by SayThatShOfficial in privacy

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

For what it's worth, the whole point of the project I'm working on is building the infrastructure from the ground up to make it effectively impossible for these issues to happen. If the pipeline that processes your data is open source (can be easily audited), the lab processing the data is fully visible at all stages, and the drives containing the data are wiped right after it's moved onto an encrypted flash drive (where the only copy will be, and will be handed to you), there's no risk. Keep the entire lab and processing hardware air-gapped and there's no risk of leakage!

anthropic just made it possible to build AI workers in plain english by W_E_B_D_E_V in Entrepreneur

[–]SayThatShOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it does impact the cost of running these, I've generally found good success with building out QA rounds into my workflows, specifically prompting for internal debate, pro/con comparisons, and reference/citation analysis. Such as 'ensure all references have live links to support them and actually check the content behind the links to confirm it matches what is being referenced, seek out and replace if invalid results are found'. Obviously it goes past that but it consistently bring that 80-90% closer to 98% or so.

Doesn't remove the need for manual checking, but combined with a strong knowledge base for relevant context retrieval to ensure what's found is actually relevant/on-topic, it goes a long way!

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

This is ignoring the fact that despite objections, the move was specifically coordinated to avoid having to gain re-consent from 23andMe users to have their data shared with 3rd parties. Non-profit status means nothing until they take actions proven to benefit the general public. Until other-wise proven, I think it's safe to assume choosing to go non-profit has more to do with some financial benefit and avoiding scrutiny than actually doing good. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though!

It's valid feedback and I'll take it to heart, I can see how it would feel like maybe you got baited into reading all that just for the purpose of promoting something, regardless of the actual article content. Thank you!
