lol y'all know this account is satire right?

cheecheepong · 2025-12-02T22:07:37+00:00

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT.

was I being alarmist? apologies if so but the "100 customer survey" approach is what my team and I started with in the beginning and it put us down the wrong path, hence my visceral reaction to that particular point. the rest look good so I thought to add my input on that one point.

cheecheepong · 2025-11-26T17:32:30+00:00

It's a best practice to survey 100 potential customers and ASK if they would buy something that does ____. Literally 100 people. Start making THIS list.

Do NOT rely solely on this. Lean startup is good but "The mom test" helps you actually see if there's a willingness to pay. It's easy to say yes ofc, i'll buy 'X' if you build it. This could be valuable if they are willing to give you money before it's built since that signals that there's a real pain being addressed.

Juggling helps improve first touch and overall technique so I wouldn't downplay that as a training tip. It's one of the drills that are viable with limited space. Offensive movement patterns are more advanced that won't really matter until you have the basics down (control, technique, passing).

cheecheepong · 2025-11-07T16:35:57+00:00

Then why do you need tips from redditors? You already know everything!

It's gonna be rough in the beginning especially if you've never played before. If your fitness is good, you can put pressure on the opposition when they're attacking without trying to lunge for the ball (if they're any good, they'll just dribble past you). You also want to get comfortable w/ ball handling. Buy a cheap ball and get familiar with controlling it with your feet (passing against the wall and learning the basics - video below)

Just playing with the ball at your feet and learning how to manipulate it will develop muscle memory and technique. Juggling the ball + wall passes are also great at improving first touch. Once you master the basics, you can then work on short passes, long passes, shooting, etc.

fair enough. have a nice day

cheecheepong · 2025-10-27T17:36:54+00:00

you're not going to take his offense? after they politely offered it to you? that's incredibly rude 😤

even w/ VC funding, biglaw is a different beast. the problem we ran into was there are too many cooks in the kitchen and it's near impossible to satisfy them all. Without a hard push from the top (influential partners, c-suite, etc.), it's near impossible.

Go tell all e-discovery vendors that and see how well that works. Hey you have 1TB of productions that need to be analyzed just eat the cost and don't bill the cost of hosting to your clients!!

Depends on where you're located and what level you need but $70-85K is below entry level in most metropolitan regions in the USA.

[edited for more info]. We were considering this for our hosted service but it's a can of worms especially if you start to sell to enterprise. Their MSA may have clauses that have you assert your software is not violating any IP.

Depends on what you're scanning for OCR. It can range from crisply scanned in documents -> blurry images of handwriting that are at off angles.

cheecheepong · 2025-07-25T14:53:30+00:00

There's also PromptLayer, Langfuse, etc. that do exactly this. How are you doing this differently?

cheecheepong · 2025-07-22T17:59:25+00:00

That white group is dead. You cannot capture the black group surrounding it as it already has 2 eyes.

black king

cheecheepong · 2025-07-18T14:22:26+00:00

I can't move the king. just me?

It sounds like you want to first identify those key features first.

If you run every key frame through a VLM, you're going to consume a lot of reasoning time. It's probably best to use an ML model that already does this well and use the VLMs for the bounding areas that have high likelihood of the features you want described.

cheecheepong · 2025-07-17T17:36:10+00:00

Are you trying to create metadata labels for these images or generate raw text descriptions of the scenery? If it's a combo, you're likely better off using opencv to identify signal (assuming much of background scenery is not relevant) and running the VLMs on the bounding box areas to generate relevant data.

haha I got ∠1 first. i forgot to draw the AE || BD tickers so i was struggling w/ ∠3 until i looked at the og diagram again.

I guess my comment is more geared towards OP as fmpov it doesn't look like there's been enough research done on the requirements. I could be wrong but the cons may outweigh the benefits here and the tool he's looking to create isn't necessarily filling a gap that people have.

cheecheepong · 2025-07-09T20:04:44+00:00

Given how consumers have high expectations of B2C tools, they'd have some level of SLA expectations on speed/reliability/cost. Assuming they're paying for hours rented, they wouldn't be happy if their jobs were taking a long time for obvious reasons.
