GAP Locations

I see this come up a lot here. Someone wants a chatbot that answers questions from their own documents and the first instinct is "just paste it into ChatGPT" or "use a custom GPT." I've been building a chatbot product for the last year so I've gone deep on this and wanted to share what I learned about why that approach hits a wall fast. **The context window trap** Yeah you can dump docs into ChatGPT's context window now that it's huge. But try it with 50 pages of technical documentation and watch what happens. The model starts mixing up sections, ignoring stuff at the middle of the context, and confidently citing things that aren't in your docs ...

I moved with him before we got married, he was living by his own for longer than 2 years if I’m not wrong, small house with 1 main bedroom and another bedroom he uses for his office since he work from home. Since I moved with him I have been struggling because running out of space, I didn’t have enough space to organize my things. He gave me half of the closet in the main room and I was using under bed storage boxes to storage my clothes and a cube book shelf with the fabric square bins to storage a couple of things more. He had a big chest that has the smallest drawers on earth but the shelf itself was so big and used a good amount of space in the room but he could barely fit his own c...

Just thought I'd show everyone my upcoming project. Really pushing the limits of power density on this one. I'll be putting a 40W IR pump in a cheap watch that looks similar to the goldeneye laser watch. 6 tiny high C rate Lipo cells will line in rows under the wrist strap hidden in a black felt (It will stick out a bit, but it should still work). I will probably have to raise the top of the watch to make enough vertical room for the driver and pump, if that fails, I might put the driver at the base of the wrist band. This will only be able to fire in bursts, since everything will get super hot quick. But I think it should be pretty cool. :) BTW, these 40W pumps can melt thin stri...

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is treating you okay. I’ve been thinking about how much energy we spend "performing" womanhood. Sometimes it feels like if we don't hit a certain mark we’re somehow less "real." The right voice, the right clothes, the right "passing" level. >*My womanhood is a fact, not a performance. I don’t need anyone’s permission to exist.* Internalizing your own worth is the hardest part of this journey. We wait for a "Ma'am" at the grocery store to feel valid, or we let one wrong pronoun from a stranger ruin our whole day. But here’s the thing: You are a woman because your soul says so. Period. You are...

What is your favorite quote or advice from mom that still rings true for you today? Or maybe has become outdated? I think about how she never gushsed when someone complimented her clothing, or jewelry or personal items. She was demure. One time we were out, and I replied to a compliment that I'd gotten a coat at a thrift store. Afterwards, she said to me, "You don't have to give your secrets away." That sticks with me, especially now, as I realize that I had in fact not internalized that advice and made good use of it. I still feel compelled to honesty which makes me feel like a fool afterwards, highlighting my insecurities whereas my mother had the perfect balance of c...

Following up on yesterday’s multi-tenant architecture post, let’s talk about the biggest roadblock in Enterprise AI: **Data Privacy & Compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2).** If you are building an ERP, a legal tech tool, or an internal HR application, your infosec team is probably going to block you from sending sensitive PII to OpenAI or Anthropic. The only way forward is hosting open-weight models locally on your own infrastructure. Here is how to architect a .NET Core backend that talks to a local, air-gapped LLM, and the specific production bottlenecks you need to watch out for. **1. The Infrastructure: Docker & Ollama** The easiest way to get this running alongside your...

My promise ring that I wore for an over a decade was stolen. I know I will never see the original again, but I would really like to replace it with the same ring, it was extremely important and sentimental to me. It was purchased at a mall jewelry store, something like Kay or Zales, around 2014. There is a single, small but real, diamond in the center and the metal is sterling silver. Either side has an infinity symbol and then a gap that went about halfway down the sides of the ring. I have tried reverse image searching and googling for hours to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated

I've always been fascinated by McKinsey-style reports (good, bad or exaggerated). You know the ones which are brutally clear, logically airtight, evidence-backed, and structured in a way that makes even the most complex problem feel solvable. No fluff, no filler, just insight stacked on insight. For a while I assumed that kind of thinking was locked behind years of elite consulting training. Then I started wondering that new AI models are trained on enormous amounts of business and strategic content, so could a well-crafted prompt actually decode that kind of structured reasoning? So I spent some time building and testing one. The prompt forces it to use the Minto Pyramid Principle (...

The Starting Point: A Product Lost in the Noise In March 2022, the founders of VitalPet Nutrition sat in SpectrumBPO's Richardson conference room with a troubling reality. Their premium grain-free dog supplements—formulated with veterinary nutritionists and manufactured in FDA-registered facilities—were generating $8,000 monthly on Amazon despite $40,000 in monthly ad spend. "We were hemorrhaging money," admits Michael Torres, VitalPet's CEO. "Our ACOS was 480%. We had 127 reviews after 18 months of selling. Major competitors with inferior ingredients were crushing us because we didn't understand Amazon's ecosystem." The pet supplement category ...

This year marks 15 years of White Peach. We released our first record in 2011 and then our second release in 2012, but then decided to focus on Fent Plates and stop the whole White Peach idea. In 2014, Lington sent over 'Bounty' followed by Sorrow sending over 'Screwface' so they came out on Peach Bits Vol. 1, and from that point, the label started to have a steady release schedule, and the rest is everything you know. White Peach will always be a record label first, but it evolved into a genre-specific record store, pressing service, record distributor, and fulfillment partner to help other small indie labels get their artists out to you.  Thank you all for coming alo...

Hello All! I've followed Ellie-Jean for a while and have read this board for about a month. After a lot of consideration, I THINK I'm 🍄🔥🌞, with mushroom being in strong first place (especially for the cut of the clothes). I don't think I've seen anyone here with that combination. I think I also have 🏔️ as a shadow root/4th root. 🪨 and 🌸 are least suited to me. EJR says "Luxury Creative" which I don't think captures my dominant mushroom. Her Pinterest doesn't quite resonate either - as a mom of college students, it feels like every photo is a young woman going on a hot, sultry date during the day on a European holiday. This is not ...

Hi! I took home a Dior Talk Phone Pouch last Friday. Twice now—once, when I opened it (the chain came attached/jammed) and then again when I tried on the bag again, the clasp jams in the D-ring. When this happens, to remove the chain I have to brute force pull the clasp off, as I can't open it when jammed. I called the boutique and they sent me a return label to ship the bag back to take a look (I can't make it back in-person and don't have any boutiques in my area). I’m suspecting this is happening bc of a slightly larger gap in the clasp (bottom in pictured)? I‘m hoping to ask for a return or store credit; I don't want an exchange, as I want to pick my bags out i...

so there's this guy (J, M16) and he's 3 months younger than me (A, F17) (technically) but on paper we're a year apart. we're in the band for this show at school next Friday and we get along well in a friend way and we like to banter too. he's really funny but super diligent too and i find that hella attractive. we've been working together on this show since oct 2025 but we only really started talking more in feb 2026 DAY 1 (Valentine's) so then i was asking this girl (S) about her ex-situationship and we we and four other people were gossiping and then S asked if i dated and i said yeah i broke up two weeks before my one year anniversary in november 2024 ...

Hey r/security, I’ve been working on a small open-source project called **Leo Health** and would appreciate a security review from folks here. The goal is to analyze Apple Health exports and Whoop CSVs **without pushing sensitive biometric data to cloud services**. # What it does * Parses Apple Health XML exports * Parses Whoop CSV exports * Stores normalized data in local SQLite * Serves a read-only dashboard on localhost # Security model The project is intentionally designed as a **single-user, local-first tool**. **Key properties** * Dashboard binds to [`127.0.0.1`](http://127.0.0.1) only * Codebase intentionally avoids outbound network requests * Python stdlib only (zero ...

I had just turned 19, and nothing particularly important was happening in my life at the time. I had a part-time job at a supermarket, I was studying film, and I was enjoying life. I was very aware that youth passes quickly, so I took advantage of every weekend to really live it. In the middle of all that, an opportunity came up. My dad, who I only saw once a year for Christmas or New Year’s, asked if I wanted to move in with him in San Diego, CA. He had left when I was 10 chasing a job and eventually ended up running his own business, one that was moderately successful. Enough to live comfortably. My mom had her doubts, and my first instinct was to say yes immediately. I mean, I’d be ...

Every other post in this sub is "my RAG pipeline hallucinates" and the replies are always the same: try a different chunking strategy, use a better embedding model, add reranking, etc. Nobody ever says "go look at what your PDF parser actually output." I did. I took 3,830 real-world PDFs (veraPDF corpus, Mozilla pdf.js tests, DARPA SafeDocs) and ran them through the major Python parsers. Not cherry-picked -- government filings, academic papers, scanned forms, edge cases from the 90s, encrypted files, CJK text, the works.

Here's a story I keep hearing from people who've never thought twice about VPNs: they grabbed a free one from the Play Store, gave it 5 minutes of thought, and figured they were protected. Then their banking app started throwing weird login alerts. Or their phone got sluggish for no obvious reason. Turns out their free "privacy tool" had quietly enrolled their device into a 19-million-node botnet. That actually happened. In May 2024, the US Department of Justice dismantled *911 S5* — at the time possibly the largest botnet ever created — built almost entirely on the backs of people who downloaded free VPN apps. The specific culprits: **MaskVPN**, **DewVPN**, **Palad...
