Quickly and easily convert queries to B2B leads. We'll search the internet for your query and check potential leads to extract a description of the business and contact info.
I made this app while looking for B2B leads for another project because I found existing options too heavy. They all felt like I was paying for bells and whistles I didn't need.
My goal with aiLEADS was to make something simple. Put in a query, click to scan and boom, you have leads.
There's a demo video on the homepage and I'm also happy to answer any other questions here.
20-40% of people are regularly lonely, 3rd places are disappearing and people are spending more time online. Current social media platforms have been optimized to create crowds and now they struggle to automatically create more intimate and familiar feeling spaces. We're looking to create groups that feel more natural to participate in.
# What?
Mus have 50-200 people who share a common interest or identity trait. They have all the normal social features (chat rooms, forums, events, DMs) plus some fancy features (media rooms, shared content feeds, discord channel synchronization, LLM bots and LLM-based moderation) plus mechanisms enabling organic community growth through community votes.
# Who?
We're a small team right now but we're determined to figure this problem out. While we explore the D2C route, we're also looking to work with organizations who want a private, virtual space for their customers or users.
# You?
If that's you, leave a comment below and I'll send you an email to talk more about it :D
Thanks! Smaller, active groups definitely discourage toxic interactions. I'm still trying to understand the mechanism but its a trend I've noticed over the years.
I spent the last couple months building a website called Zakaya that should make it easier to make friends online.
Right now, I'm looking for programmers to join the first group on the site. Its totally free, only string attached is that I'll ask you for feedback.
Zakaya's goal is to create spaces where people can make genuine friends on the internet. These spaces are called micro-communities (aka mu's, pronounced "MEW"). Each mu has 100-200 active people and is loosely centered around a topic like programming. Off-topic conversation is highly encouraged.
Mu's are meant to be a contrast to the typical "community" we're sold these days. Instead of 100,000-1,000,000+ semi-inactive members, mu's give you a chance to meet new people and get to know them over time.
We have real-time chats, forums, scheduled events, group youtube rooms and group RSS feeds so you can communicate however you prefer.
Mu's are customizable with proposals that let members vote on changes proposed by other members. For now, these changes include adding new rooms, new reacts and new events.
If this sounds interesting to you, I'd be very happy to have you. You can apply to join a coding group at the following link,
I also wrote a brief technical blog post thinking it'd be good marketing but it's getting lukewarm reactions so I'm just attaching it at the bottom here.
I did a project during undergrad looking at the connection between the microbiome and food cravings. Mostly anecdotal evidence from what I could find but the theory makes sense conceptually. Stay with me..
The microbes that live in the gut can influence the way we feel in a bunch of positive and negative ways (could give sources but just google it).
Microbes are just little machines programmed by evolution. They're designed to optimally survive in a specific environment and get better at it over time. Most of the microbes in the gut have been with us for a long time so they've done some evolving.
Microbes don't actively think but their behavior and metabolism are still optimized by evolution. They can react to avoid being killed, to eat and to reproduce all without "thinking".
Each microbe also has a pretty specific diet. The microbes that enjoy greek yogurt don't often like chicken nuggets.
Microbes that could influence their host to consume food the microbes liked would be more fit to survive. Same thing for influencing their host to consume less food they dislike (or a competing microbe likes).
Influencing the host sounds complicated but it could be as simple as increasing the concentration of a byproduct when food concentrations of the environment are low. That byproduct could make the host tired or give them a stomachache or whatever else. With the brain connection, the possible range of these effects is broad.
If this trait was developed at anytime, it most likely got passed down to present day microbes.
PCR will only amplify DNA that exists in a sample. If you get a partial sample, running it through PCR will just give you more of what you already have. Helpful if you need a specific concentration of DNA to run an assay but not helpful otherwise.
It is possible to link a person to a partial DNA sample with something like patterns in SNPs but PCR won't help you create a full genome from a partial one.
Not sure if OP was misspeaking when they said "not enough to sequence" but they may have meant, not enough DNA to get a definitive match with the database samples.
Readjusting expectations for pre-processing was one of the biggest differences I noticed going from NLP courses to working on NLP in production. For the amount of pre-processing learning material there is, I expected it to be much more important in practice.
I feel lucky to gotten into NLP when I did (learning in 2017/2018 and working in the beginning of 2020). Changing our system from glove to BERT was super exciting and a great way to learn about the drawbacks and benefits of each.
Metamask is the wallet with the lowest barrier to entry for new folks entering the crypto space. Going from no knowledge to having a wallet is much quicker with metamask than hardware wallet.
Its also great for devs deploying contracts on test networks.
I didn't think my education would be out of date so quickly. You're absolutely right. I was taught prions/viruses were in the gray area between alive and dead but alive is clearly just a spectrum.
Thank you for not ending your comment with "read up".
Thank you for responding to my incorrect take constructively. These were both good thought experiments and I concede, alive is definitely not a binary concept.
In my mind, alive is a binary term. Something is alive or it is not. We don't say something is more alive than something else.
Rocks, road signs and tables are not alive. Humans, pigs and fungi are alive. That is a useful distinction but it disregards differences in the latter group.
Fungi are reacting to stimuli with more complex behaviors than a single-celled organism can. We can't say fungi are more alive than the single celled organisms, so what are they?
Where does one draw the line with intelligence? In your opinion, what organisms can appropriately be considered intelligent?
Some great comments here. Would highly second seeking out professional help.
Psychology Today lets you look at nearby professionals and you can filter by specialty and accepted insurance plans.

Talkspace is another good option is you're looking for a purely virtual experience but I personally like an independent therapist better.
Another thing you should keep in mind, when someone is suffering from chronic depression, situational changes may not be enough to help them get out of it. There are a variety of causes for depression like this but the root isn't normally something you can get at by making changes in day to day life.
While your partner likely recognizes you are trying to help, they might not want solutions and might appreciate validation of their struggles more. It sounds hard but just being there for someone in their dark moments is hugely impactful.
Make sure to take care of yourself during all of this too. Its a lot to take on but your partner will appreciate your efforts more than you know.
This is an insightful comment but I think you’re missing one thing in your understanding of natural evolution. Evolution has a “reward function” and it’s survival of the fittest.
As reproduction produces different variants of the same organism, some variations help the organism while others do not. Organisms with the helpful mutations will be more likely to pass those onto their offspring. Organisms with detrimental variations will be less likely to pass those variations to their kids.
It’s not a precise process like gradient descent but when there are billions (trillions?) of organisms evoking simultaneously and independently, it makes more sense how the complexity of biology has come about.
