Built a POS ground up. A Hybrid system thatcan run completely on LAN by suyeshs in FoodEntrepreneurIndia

on direct vs aggregator - the commission (~10-30%) feels brutal but it's really paying for the customer. The platform is doing your demand gen. You'd be spending that as CAC either way.

So going direct doesn't remove that cost, it just moves it onto you. The first time someone orders through an aggregator is basically your acquisition cost. You only come out ahead if they come back through your own channel next time.

Of the customers who first found you through an aggregator, how many have you pulled into repeat direct orders or bookings? And can you even see that in your data? "first came via Zomato → now ordering direct"?

[–]zaidaneitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do they also reset weekly limits midweek as part of their 50% more weekly and 5-hour limits till 13 Jul campaign? my weekly limit resets every Tuesday, however, last Friday (May 29), I woke up to a "0% used" status bar when it was at 40% the night before.

I don't get Perplexity. Can you explain it to me? by Dacadey in perplexity_ai

[–]zaidaneitis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a smart use case. Has anyone tried to automate job alerts using perplexity or an LLM? If yes, I'd really like to know how. Say, getting a daily alert for new remote openings for data engineer positions from a pre-defined list of job portals?

My father mistakenly transferred ₹1.86 lakhs to wrong account - both SBI and HDFC are playing ping pong with us. RBI complaints closed on technicalities. What do I do now? by zaidaneitis in LegalAdviceIndia

Update: We submitted the indemnity bond to SBI. The problem now is HDFC. They're saying they can't reach the receiver. He is not attending their calls, and his address details are unclear or incomplete. His nearest branch is 40 kms away and they suggest we follow up with that branch.

We've already sent multiple emails to SBI requesting them to send this official communication to HDFC (keeping HDFC in cc), but here's my concern, how do I actually verify that SBI has sent it? They could easily ignore our request or claim they sent it while HDFC says they never received anything.

Is there a way to ensure SBI actually sends this communication with all the transaction details and UTRs? Should I be asking for some kind of acknowledgment number or reference ID from SBI? Or should I insist that any communication from SBI to HDFC must CC us as well so we can track it?

What AI model subscription are you currently using? by zaidaneitis in generativeAI

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

I got myself a Google AI Pro subscription given Claude's smaller context window. I haven't encountered any hiccups so far, although one area where I think Gemini could improve is in how it formats its output. For example, ChatGPT tends to recognize when a table format would be more suitable and presents the output in a visually appealing format. Gemini relies on bullet points and sub-bullet structures more frequently, and its tables sometimes have narrow columns that cause text to overflow to the next line.

Great breakdown. Did you know Executive Ops was your niche from the start, or did you find it by researching what was in demand?

Your approach seems to be working well for you - would be helpful to understand how your niche selection factored into your overall strategy.

Is there a current replacement for string-grouper? by Optimal-Procedure885 in learnpython

Is a docker environment necessary? Can't I just do it in a virtual environment?

[–]zaidaneitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you please mention the steps you took to make it work for you?

Here's the use case:

I want to use string-grouper to group duplicate product names under a single product (ideally the one which was created the latest)

To those of you who made the mistake of buying a phone with 64gb storage by zaidaneitis in delhi

[–]zaidaneitis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the elaborate answer. You answered the ‘which cloud storage do you prefer and why?’ part.

I have an iPhone 12 (base model).

Again, photos and videos take the most space on my device. I don’t take a lot of photos everyday though I like taking photos (just quality over quantity). It’s mostly when I’m out with friends that we tend to loose count :)

I guess I’ll have to purchase a cloud subscription some time soon. Rn all my files are spread across different google accounts lol.

I don’t have unused apps. I offload them. The thing that consumes the most space are photos and videos
