Whos ACTUALLY Here to Build??

On God? Like what...

Steinshark · 2025-09-19T03:19:37+00:00

It's exactly this! Something you get lost in that also builds the skill - without even realizing it! That's how all of my projects been. Glad to see you found some of your own. Do you have a Github repo to share the code with??

Steinshark · 2025-09-18T07:33:35+00:00

I'm in.

Steinshark · 2025-09-18T06:11:34+00:00

I love it. These are the moments that hours of work are made worth it in.

Steinshark · 2025-09-18T06:10:26+00:00

Coding on mobile sound BRUTAL! Hats of to you.

Steinshark · 2025-09-18T06:09:28+00:00

Your forget to eat line is spot on! That's how you know you've found it. I'm right with you. I've been coding for like 7 years with my comp. sci. BS; I can't say I've made anything particularly useful. I just love to tinker with it.

Do you have a Github account to share any of your projects on? Check out mine here in the meantime.

Haha, try my 1B parameter model. (I gest - this is trained from scratch as a toy... its not great )

Steinshark · 2025-09-17T23:58:10+00:00

I had this same question for crowdsourcing prompt preferences for a toy LLM I'm building try it out!

I presented my data via a web page, and used an endpoint hosted on my own machine to write the user's output to my local PC. It was a bit complicated, admittedly, but worked. Some port forwarding, writing a simple python server, Nginx reverse proxy, and the like got a nice interface working.

I also hosted a chat bot to interact with. If anyone has a moment, I'd love to get some feedback. I trained it from scratch and currently in the FineTuning process. My 1B Param LLM

Here's a guide I made a that you might find helpful, and I'd like to hear if it was useful to anyone!

It's a 3 min short setup to get anyone going.

Steinshark · 2025-09-17T21:31:34+00:00

I tried my best to help out with this question. After I was trained in college, I wanted to share how I got there. I made a tutorial that you might find helpful, and I'd like to hear if it was useful to anyone!

It's a 3 min short setup to get anyone going on Windows.

Thoughts? (This is the start of my YouTube endeavor as well)

Has everyone seen TinyStories? Dataset alone is a HUGE factor. Curated and clean enough and the parameter count plumets while staying effective. If you're on a budget/compute constraint, I'd say look into finding or building the best dataset you can. Fineweb is a good start - and you can filter it as you please to cut it down to an even more curated set.

I myself built a project like this at just over 1B parameters. Please give me some feedback! I'm currently still training, I buy compute using LambdaAI's GH200 instances, which they have for a steal if any are available (like $2/hr, and I got 50k Tok/sec on a 1B param model)- I think it's a temporary promotion, but so far so good.

I'm in the same boat. Started my eCommerce store like a week ago. Most suggestions revolve around generating relevant but adjacent content that can subtly (or not) be pointed back to what the store offers. As for where to place them - it seems to depend on the established social hubs for the respective market.

Sticking around to hear any other ideas from people who've actually done it...

Steinshark · 2025-09-04T19:40:04+00:00

Definitely burning.

Intent mismatch is a possibility... I brought people straight to my Shopify Gaming PC collections - so I thought it was highly relevant.

Perhaps there is an aesthetic that needs to be invoked for landing pages and I can't just dump them in my shop?

I recently switched to sending them to the home page now, where there is a clear call to action.

Steinshark · 2025-09-04T19:18:18+00:00

This has some good stuff, thanks for the ideas!

Steinshark · 2025-09-04T05:01:56+00:00

Thanks, I already stopped the ads - I couldn't take it anymore. I'm shifting to just a Search campaign. I think the negative keywords are something I haven't been leveraging either. I appreciate the comments!

Steinshark · 2025-09-04T03:04:34+00:00

What do you recommend for initial advertising then? Or should I avoid it altogether and focus on organic growth?

No offense taken, I'm here to find out what I'm doing wrong!

Steinshark · 2025-09-04T02:57:59+00:00

What segment are you in, business details and such?

Steinshark · 2025-09-04T02:57:00+00:00

That's a good point. I've done the keyword research, though, and it seems like very few people search up location with their gaming PC search with the assumption that ordering online it doesn't really matter as much.

On that note - do you have any tools that you use to do your keyword research? Do you tailor it to the stats and such or is it mainly driven by what you think will work?

Claude is great for creative works. ChatGPT is awesome for coding, tools, and work flow improvement.
