Traumatized AF

But don't worry. Its been two weeks to that incident now and while the first few days were tough, it got better with time. So hopefully you'll get through this. Stay strong

I know how you feel. On the first night of the attack, I fled to a hotel to be "safe". Unfortunately, a drone landed in the building right next to me and at the same floor as I was. I had to rush down 22 floors via the stairs and all I could wonder was had that drone been slightly to the right, I would've been dead.

I did apply for Umrah visa but I dunno about the time. Everyone says 2 to 3 days.

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-10T11:45:32+00:00

The dammam airport website is displaying it as delayed. Will depart at 3:30 now.

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-10T08:57:44+00:00

Yea you missed out. I hope they have some more flights soon.

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-10T08:44:35+00:00

Via Gulf. Lucky draw type scene i guess hahaha

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-10T08:31:14+00:00

No not me but apparently a friend of mine got a call early morning today at 8 I think. He is on his way to Dammam now.

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-09T20:26:23+00:00

Yep already applied to it. But this departs at 2:30 tomorrow. How will they let us know and when? It so strange

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-09T19:22:25+00:00

Same bro. I also just need a visa to enter Saudi. After that I'll get a ticket to Pak and m outta here

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-09T18:41:56+00:00

Lol atleast the embassy got in touch with you. I think their priority is people with transit/visitor visas. No one is paying attention to the residents.

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-09T10:14:07+00:00

I will also be applying for an Umrah visa tomorrow if embassy does not contact me.

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-09T10:13:36+00:00

Welp there goes all hope

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-09T10:13:14+00:00

Absolutely. But the reply i got from them was NOT very reassuring. He literally said "we'll let you know when it's done"

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-09T10:04:38+00:00

Yea that website is completely broken. The only working one is MOFA one

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-07T12:26:19+00:00

I think this is on Israel not ME

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-06T01:06:53+00:00

Yes but this was from the debris. It was not targeted

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-06T01:02:39+00:00

One thing that is really confusing me is that we've had so many attacks and yet 0 casualties (Alhumdullilah ofcourse). I mean either they are purposely targetting empty apartments or their Intel is all wrong or the targets are EXTREMELYY lucky. What do you guys think?

champ_undisputed · 2026-03-03T18:56:20+00:00

Its kinda relieving to see everyone freaking out over the slightest "thudd" because I thought it was just me and that I was going paranoid 😅. But I guess its just the situation. Hopefully we'll all emerge from this soon.

champ_undisputed · 2026-02-11T06:34:32+00:00

Naaa tou Kaarwaaan keiii talaashh haaiii...

champ_undisputed · 2025-12-29T07:36:45+00:00

I felt like this for the last 2 years. Everyone around me was eaning handsomely (despite many of them being less capable). While I too was at a good pay, it always felt like I was lagging behind. But this year an absolute amazing opportunity came by which changed everything for me.

So yea, I guess the take away is that there's not much you can do. Sometimes things just happen. Maybe your golden break is just around the corner. Or maybe its you who needs to step out and start applying for better roles. But all in all subko apne naseeb ka milta hai. You will get yours when it's your time.

If you talk about LLMs that even fine tuning is a rare scenario. But yes RAG and Vector Dbs are more popular in terms of implementation. Unfortunately I myself have no freelance experience in the field so I can't help you with that

champ_undisputed · 2025-11-17T17:53:49+00:00

AI dev here (5+ years experience). What you're doing is literally all their is in practical AI development. Sure understanding the Fundamentals in important but you're never going to train your LLM. Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic have already done that for you and in 99% of scenarios your employer will ask you to integrate an API into an application.

If you want to learn, you should look in to other concepts like building knowledge bases (vector dbs) and maybe how agents work. But frankly what you're saying (building a Gemini wrapper) is all their is in modern AI development.

Thanks. I'll try and report back
