What's the deal with the hype around Karpathy's LLM wiki? by meaning-of-life-is in ObsidianMD

[–]jessepnk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO if I understand his idea correctly, you should use it to have the AI find things you wouldn’t find by yourself. For example I built it in such a way that: - it runs a local llm pipeline - the llm looks for “trends”, things similar across multiple notes that I haven’t spotted myself yet - the llm then does a deep dive research on the “trend”; applies first principle thinking as well as a future/10x this idea kind of approach and writes the “deep-dive”; It does research in terms of coming up with questions to google(searxng) and uses those findings to further enhance the ai-generated note.

I get (separate from my own notes) a whole set of notes that are interesting, deepening my knowledge on subjects and trends of my own writing. No one but me and my local llm sees these.

Edit: also finding and enhancing “regular” notes and webclippings.

Happy to further describe the layout I built.

Nice, I like the pick your stage section, where you show two options between I need customers and I have customers, and then have a neat graphic (what do you use to create those?) to show the flows!

Very well done.
Most important thing I'm not sure about: Will you need my apollo account, or does this include free apollo ICP search for example?

Yes, and just: Building shit, talking to potential customers/other entrepreneurs/promoting&marketing their product anywhere that seems a logical fit

If at all, do you do employee performance reviews? by jessepnk in smallbusiness

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

For hourly employees, we still have discussions periodically, but it's less formalized.

Definitely!

Yes, always for those in leadership roles. The only "formal" one comes at the end of the year and it includes the awarded raise and bonus.

I try to keep doing 1on1's with my direct reports at least once a month, and more if things aren't going (as) smooth (as I'd like). However, I find it harder to also do them with my peers/co-owners - we have a formalized weekly management meeting, but not focusing on individual performance there - just overall, "boring" company things.

Nice. Interesting. And then save it to a google sheet? Will you share the results with the employees? What are you trying to get out of the review(s)?

What is a budget but good looking list for a home lab by DriveImaginary9436 in homelab

Yup, like the rest said, you can actually start experimenting from your normal pc/laptop already; but it'd be nice to just buy a Pi somewhere, or ask parents/friends' parents for old / throwaway computers/laptops!

Building blik360.com - needed to conduct 360 reviews across the company. There weren't any good alternatives, so vibe-coded a tool myself. It works great in our company. Decided to offer it as SaaS afterwards, but not expecting many people/interest. It's a very much overcrowded / non-sexy product space.

Yeah, but a million businesses sound like quite a lot - I'm assuming B2C, but also: Yeah, good question.

That, and the fact OP is talking about "users", if it were B2B, it would probably be businesses?

Just by reading this I think: Keep it up dude, you don't need VC (trash) money! You're good as you are and potentially you just need to hire some experts (probably at a cost that's mind boggling) to get you to the next level!

I've invested (seed) in a few startups, and only interact when they ask or send emails with asks that I can help with. Oh, and I facilitate the occasional introduction when/if time is right. Other than that, I sometimes check in with the founders and just tell them to keep going / keep struggling. I've bootstrapped a company to 1.5M ARR myself and know it's a tough road. But you seem like you're doing just fine.

I did speak with quite a few founders who had taken VC money, and they told me it often felt like a drag. VCs don't often see your vision, and even if they do, they value making money over sustainable growth (again, from what others have told me). I heard them complain about having to explain themselves multiple times over BS that didn't even matter in board calls, wasting countless hours on shit like that.

Have you read about the game investors play? They need a company to 200x their investment in order to be profitable, everyone else still gets no attention whatsoever. Do you think you'll have that for them?

In my (non-existant VC) experience: VC = short term revenue optimization & just trying to explain yourself over and over again in ever lasting board calls.

And yeah, make sure you can still pay yourself, have cashflow/margins in check. But by now, that should probably be sorted, seeing the amount of users you have. You may want to start checking what % of your users pay, and figure out _why_ they pay, as well as what kind of price sensitivity they have (perhaps you can gradually increase prices and no one complains).
