How to Get Your Side Project Seen and Gain Paying Users

In 2022, I built a small micro-SaaS in my spare time and eventually sold it for a few thousand dollars. And today, with AI tools, it probably would've been even easier to build. But what has changed d

Semi Edge Inference Idea [D]

Today the most important factor in AI is cost. My idea is to split ML models inference (closed ones, proprietary) across server and edge computing on clients, and I would like to hear what do you think about this thing. For example some of model weights/modules would be on client, and some on the server side (where user has no access to them). This could potentially un-load some processing from datacenters, moving part of the cost to the client hardware. Probbably the most important question h...

3 Collapsing models [R]

Trying to train 3 models for birads detection using cross entropy and center loss + class weights but all of them seem to collapse between birads 1 as the dataset (VinDr) im using is heavily unbalanced towards it, Would like to ask for input and opinion on what seems to be the case, am I using the wrong loss function?

fru - Fast Random Forest Implementation [P]

Hello, I wanted to share the work my colleague and I have been doing, which has just been published in Software X journal . We developed a Rust-based implementation of Random Forest. It has bindings for both Python and R . Fru is highly optimized, offering competitive runtime performance and better scalability than popular implementations on these platforms. For Python, Fru outperforms the scikit-learn implementation by several factors, and in some scenarios it can be hundreds of times fas...

Comparing embedding models with synthetic query probing [R]

Say you want to swap out your embedding models, for instance from ADA to Titan. Are these embedding models comparable? How do similarity score ranges compare? Where to put a threshold for minimum match when doing retrieval? Or more from a research point of view how can we relate and fundamentally understand these embedding spaces better? This is what we aim to solve with Synthetic Query Probing, a fancy name for essentially (and intentionally) a very simple approach: embedding spaces are not d...

How to file a complaint about a published CVPR paper? [R]

Hi, I would like to file a complaint about an accepted and published CVPR 2026 paper that its main contribution is a dataset but it was never released, and honestly I don’t know who to contact. The dataset was never released prior to the conference, or during the conference or after the conference. I personally feel there was a lack of proper checking that the dataset was gonna be available before the conference since this is a requirement. I’ve tried contacting the authors without any success (...

Transformers are famously bad at arithmetic, so I set one's weights by hand (no training) and it multiplies with 100% accuracy [P]

Obviously nobody needs a transformer that's good at multiplication. I wanted to know whether a stock transformer could do exact arithmetic if I chose its weights directly. I implemented the grade-school algorithm as a computation graph and compiled it into an ordinary Phi-3 Hugging Face checkpoint using Torchwright, a compiler I wrote. No training. The three-digit calculator gets all 3,000,000 supported expressions right. I've published checkpoints to Hugging Face that support up to 12 digit x...

My Journey

Hey Guys, I’ll keep it short, I quit my job a while ago to focus full time on my saas. In this period I launched 4 start ups. 1) Scaled my first one to 10k users couldn’t cross 120 usd mrr it’s still making 70-100 usd every month which is nothing honestly. 2) The journey was a psychological thriller/horror. days of self doubt waking up and feeling I’ll conquer the world and some days, scared like I’m wasting my life. I still remember the first time a user made a purchase that feeling is suc...
