Bruh, do you need beta testers?

Much participated on the advice!

For sure on the art. I'm a graphic artist by education and I'm already working with another full-time artist on the application logos. When I make enough I'm planning to hire a proper web developer for the frontend/web design as that's onc area I do lean pretty heavy on the LLM's for assistance.

Funny you should mention the AI vs LLM labeling as I much prefer to call them LLM's or "models", but I'm trying to keep it accessible for non-technical people. I think I'll go back through and rename though.

Also most of the tools are deterministic, with the LLM's filling in gaps where there needs to be some amount of probabilistic interaction, like figuring out what you could cook given only the ingredients in your pantry, or rewriting a resume 26 million ways to satisfy the ATS filters.

If you don't want to use those features, nothing forcing you. They're useful for tracking and organizing without the LLM at all.

I'm in the process of launching a new business as a single dev, and I want to be upfront about my use of AI, but I notice as soon as I mention any LLM, most people assume what I've built is "vibe coded" without even looking at the applications themselves.

I spent almost two months just setting up the devops side of things before I even considered publishing. Feedback buttons in the apps automatically open issues on my Forgejo, push mirrors to GitHub and Codeberg, and I do weekly progress reports internally (I stopped posting to Lemmy after people felt spammed and now I just post on the site blog)

I'm just not sure how to make it easy to tell that I'm actually putting my heart and soul into building software that should help people.

I've been the partner with ADHD and CPTSD in this picture before, still working my way out of it, but I recognize the phrases she's using and the reasons. Still not an excuse. You're doing the right things, she's not putting in the effort to overcome the discomfort and guilt she's going to have to confront when she accepts everything you say is true.

The more she denies it, the harder it gets to accept and start the process of healing.

I'm truly sorry for your loss and the pain you've suffered. It's real and your feelings are valid <3

Edit: for additional context, the work never really stops. You're not a cake. There is no "ding youre done". Literally typing this on my way to therapy....

Bruh they're a copywrite law firm (read as patent troll) with a database and a tech company attached. Pretty much all they do is fuck other people over

Anyone who uses Oracle DB or virtualbox in a corporate environment

I mean, electrically all of those things will just attenuate amplitude, not really effect signal oscillations, which is actually what sound is ...

All they're doing is effectively adding a small resistance to the signal which will just lower the volume in effect. Adding any amplifier will fix that

This is the nightmare scenario for any team that built their whole workflow around a cloud API. No warning, no clear reason, no real support path. just a Google form and 60 people sitting on their hands.

The uncomfortable truth is that "terms of service" at this scale is just "we can pull the rug whenever." Anthropic isn't unique here either. OpenAI, Google, all of them have the same opaque enforcement problem. It's a big part of why I've been building tools that run on local inference by default. Not because cloud is bad, but because your users shouldn't be one vague policy complaint away from a complete outage.

Local gives you continuity even when the upstream disappears.

How is it less problematic? I've only ever worked with the other two

Try a venv or miniconda and use the universal shebang:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Edit: you've activated my brain shrimp, so I'll be back with an interactive setup script in a bit

Ok so that leaves it up for some artistic license like

• dickbrain
• dickgobbler

... I could keep going

I'm not really a regular poster, much more of a lurker and commenter, but I'm very capable.

Mixed heritage, AuDHD, cis-male, queer, married to a genderfluid individual and very connected in the LGBTQ community in the Bay Area California.

Dedicated self-hoster, I handle everything engineering from networking, devops, software development (full stack), server automation, electronics and PCB design, and with the help of genAI I'm finally learning how to build a decent front-end.

I used to moderate a solarpunk discord server (in addition up the one for my PCB business) but left after the co-founder went a little nuts and then the big breach just made me distrust the platform entirely.

I'm not sure if my post history is still up on Reddit anymore, as I haven't posted there in years now, but I used to be quite active under the same handle "pyr0ball"

It allows users to run the script on any installation of Python no matter where it's located, as well as allowing a user to set up specific Python package versions separate from the system-native ones.

Basically for flexibility and easy setup

The loop in that article is deliberate. ATS exists to externalize the cost of screening onto applicants while giving employers plausible deniability about who gets filtered. The "objective" framing is the fraud. I built a tool for this (CircuitForge-Peregrine, open-core, local-first). Not because I think the system should exist, but because I kept watching people get filtered before any human ever saw their application. A lot of neurodivergent folks especially, people who interview brilliantly but get wrecked by the performance art of keyword optimization. Resume coaches and LinkedIn premium exist for people who can afford to play the game. Peregrine is for everyone else.

Using AI to survive AI screening is genuinely stupid and I don't love it. But I'd rather the tool be free and local than have the only options be "pay someone" or "lose."

Home automation using geofencing, and my partner likes to get a notification when I'm heading home from the office

My partner and I refer to them as Caws and Gronks respectively based on the usual noise

Any chance you could link? I'm not seeing it on any of my usual trackers, at least not by searching by name

That joke was dangerously cheesy.... +1
