Just finished all 3 books of The Three-Body Problem Book 1 was ok Book 2 was interesting Book 3 was a real page-turner for me, I finished the whole book in just 2 weeks This was my first time reading a fiction book. Which one should I read next? (I'm sci-fi fan)

@MrNick_Buzz Have 2 clients for designpal.co. Currently both are pre series A startups. Both have a lot of requests and negotiate price quite hard. Want to hear your advice on getting more startup clients and how to slowly transition to other less resource intensive clients.

Hey Design or Service as a Subscription people, are you having trouble getting - Clients - Pricing - Marketing - Communication - Settings expectations Feel free to ask me any anything. I have been running a baked.design since August and scaled it to $110k MRR.

No easy way, I've been trying for the past 2 months. At first: a few promo posts => those quickly got removed by mods Then: 1. Find 5-10 top contributors 2. Interact with their content 3. Once they interact back, DM them for a quick intro & ask them to trial out my tool 4. Getting their feedback & if they are happy, ask them to help me post a review on the group

Is anyone getting customers from Facebook? I feel like there's so much potential in Facebook groups. No clue how to infiltrate them, tho. 🤔 #indiehackers

@kimelnick Yeap this approach fits when your business has a lot of user generated data that is safe to publish. Slack wouldn’t make much sense because leaking private data is a disaster for them

@sneakycocoon But this approach won’t fit every product I guess. Airbnb is really good example but let’s say Slack - probably not

Programmatic seo seems to be popular today in our community. People sharing adding hundreds and thousands of pages in a days to their websites. But what’s the quality of this content? What’s the value behind this? Robots like this but what about people?

GPT is not good at keeping to a length limit (i.e 1000 characters). However it doesn't mean you can't force it. Simple #promptengineering trick (though might be costly if your limit is huge):

Building on top of Amazon Product API and realizing how ridiculous it is for a dev. To sign up: need a partner account with min 3 sales. To maintain access: make 1 referring sale every 30 days. This is why products like rainforestapi exists. So, how much do they make? Here's a guess: Traffic: 42.6k/mth on similarweb Base plan: $59/mth Rev: from 1-10% conversion rate: $25k -$250k MRR Now which other big businesses have ridiculous API requirements?

If you still think that prompt engineering has no moat just check out this story: LexisNexis acquires CaseLex for $750M in exchange for 8 OpenAI prompts that give good responses to law questions.

@ramsri_goutham Can’t agree with 1 more. Recently had a high hallucination rate in my app due to this automatic upgrade behavior. It seems like the push to higher token limit creates a trade off in generation quality

I wish OpenAI had a better understanding of what it takes to build a product on top of their API! 1. I can build on gpt-3.5-turbo-X but it will be upgraded/deprecated every 3 months! So I need to constantly check that all my prompts work as expected every 3 months? A bit of a joke! 2. Assuming that gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 is a drop-in replacement for text-davinci-003 is another big joke! Can confirm with certainty that half the prompts/use cases work poorly in production for us when switching to gpt-3.5-turbo-x! Alignment might get you brownie points in the chat experience of a user but when used in general-purpose sequential prompting/prompt chaining, it is a degradation at times! Plus the touted cost reduction of gpt-3.5-turbo might very well be at the cost of pruning/ distilling that definitely could have compromised a bit on accuracy.

TIL: Some biggest Onlyfans creators outsource chatting (their main money making machine - not selling pics/vids) to Philippines. So it's lonely dudes chatting with dudes in third world countries pretending to be the star? 🤯

@daniel_nguyenx As in you can get the owner to point dns to your server? Is there a platform or you just contacted the owner directly?

@HyunGunJung Can't agree more. Killed my first 2 products because although i was solving my own problems, the market perception pointed to vitamin issues, not pain killer ones.

I’m NOT ready for "Build in Public" yet. To be honest, I’m stuck⚠️ I started building to become part of the community. And I thought a cool indie hacker profile would help me gain acceptance. However, during the building process, I became too attached to the product and lost focus. Found myself trying to find hope within what was built. Now I realize... The problem was wrong in the first place. • Size of problem = Value of Solution • No Problem = No Value Time to go back to 'Finding' mode 🕵️‍♂️ and discover the right problem to solve. If you're building something now, please take a moment to ask yourself these questions. It helped me a lot. • Is the market growing? If nobody is doing it, it might be a sign of no demand. Product 'differentiation' could falsely lead you to a dead end. If there are no competitors, validate even more. • Whose problem are you solving? Are there many people facing this problem? Or do they have large budgets for it? • How serious is that problem? How much time/money are your target users losing because of that problem? And HUGE thanks to @jkimlaunch for the valuable insights and guidance throughout this journey! 🙏

If you can’t find threads on app store, change your appstore region If you can’t signup after you get the app, use a vpn. #threadapp

Hey Dan! Tbh my final 2 options come down between FusionAuth and Clerk. In a different setting (e.g when I had a team and at least 1 devops), it would have been FusionAuth over Clerk. However being a solo founder myself, the most important thing is speed of integration and subsequently feature development on top of the auth platform.

@sneakycocoon Thanks for taking a look at FusionAuth (I'm an employee.) Did you see our quickstarts? fusionauth.io/docs/quickstar… They walk you through setting up things. But we're working to make it simpler; your point is fair.

Encountered a strange case of hallucination due to very long prompt on gpt (1k tokens) Turn out the solution is to split that massive single call into smaller calls and just concurrently resolve them before patching the content together. The whole generation got faster as well due to async. #promptengineering
