Very neat, didn't know about Deming Regression. Hard to imagine a case now where it wouldn't be the more appropriate method.

Oops, thank you.

I have never used HARO, though it's being promoted as a way for SEOs to get backlinks by being cited by journalists. That has always made me wonder how expert status is being vetted. I suppose it is up to the individual journalist to do so.

Well, it's fundamentally inspired by what these companies are trying to do. However, we are an SDK so we want to offer a toolset for other apps to build similar experiences.

Hey, yes, that's somewhat unavoidable given that is simply takes OpenAI that long to generate images. I think that's to be expected by most users. We tried to be as friendly as possible to parallelization so users aren't blocked while working in the editor.

Interesting theory. China might have seen through this ploy and that's why they dumped treasuries.

There recently was a post by Harper Reed that goes into how to prepare the right prompts before you start coding with LLMs and break that down into smaller debuggable step. It might kill the vibe, but it keeps you in the drivers seat. https://harper.blog/2025/02/16/my-llm-codegen-workflow-atm/

This is oddly delightful :)

I find it funny that is message resurfaces on the front page once or twice a year for at least 10 years now. Product quality is often not the main argument advanced when deciding on a tech stack, only indirectly. Barring any special technical requirements, in the beginning what matters is: - Can we build quickly without making a massive mess? - Will we find enough of the right people who can and want to work with this stack? - Will this tech stack continue to serve us in the future?

Imagine it's 2014 and you're deciding between two hot new framework ember and react, this is not just a question about what is hot or shiny and new.

Great idea! I would totally swipe through. One small recommendation, consider having the title and a short description written by an LLM making it as dumb and sensational as possible, for a true tiktok like experience for instance the this title and abstract could be transformed into the following

Instead of:

"Benchmarking Multimodal RAG through a Chart-based Document Question-Answering Generation Framework

Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (MRAG) enhances reasoning capabilities by integrating external knowledge. However, existing benchmarks primarily focus on simple image-text interactions, overlooking complex visual formats like charts that are prevalent in real-world applications. In this work, we introduce a novel task, Chart-based MRAG, to address this limitation. To semi-automatically generate high-quality evaluation samples, we propose CHARt-based document question-answering GEneration (CHARGE), a framework that produces evaluation data through structured keypoint extraction, crossmodal verification, and keypoint-based generation. By combining CHARGE with expert validation, we construct Chart-MRAG Bench, a comprehensive benchmark for chart-based MRAG evaluation, featuring 4,738 question-answering pairs across 8 domains from real-world documents. Our evaluation reveals three critical limitations in current approaches: (1) unified multimodal embedding retrieval methods struggles in chart-based scenarios, (2) even with ground-truth retrieval, state-of-the-art MLLMs achieve only 58.19% Correctness and 73.87% Coverage scores, and (3) MLLMs demonstrate consistent text-over-visual modality bias during Chart-based MRAG reasoning. The CHARGE and Chart-MRAG Bench are released at https://github.com/Nomothings/CHARGE.git."

Give me: " "AI Fails Hard at Reading Charts: New Study Exposes Shocking Weaknesses!"

A groundbreaking study reveals that even the smartest AI models struggle with charts, scoring just 58% accuracy—proving your brain might still be better than AI at decoding data! "

Interesting idea. Is there a way to view the entire directory of tools by category, I would need to know what the search space is here. For examples I searched for "Webinar software that integrates well with Hubspot" and it only brought up one webinar tool with no Hubspot specific integration and two CRMs. Obviously not what I was looking for. I like how simple the interface is otherwise.

Very real problem. We have started to worry about how to maintain the many cookbook samples and tutorials, we wrote/are planning on writing. Going over every user facing artefact after a code change is a non-starter, so you opt for versioning these things as they'll necessary become out of date. Very excited to give this a spin soon.

Can AI really accelerate product development? I built a short video generator in one day using AI and CE.SDK to find out.

Mhh, if I have evolved to a point where my experienced feelings and ideas are of such complexity that animal cues no longer suffice to broadcast them to the group self-awareness might have involved in tandem with the more complex nogging and not as a downstream feature.

This looks great! What are your plans around community and content, I feel like Pitchfork could use some competition. Best of success!

This is great. Chapeau. It's a little strange to select the muscle group one wants to target, what about a few primary and secondary dimensions such as explosiveness, endurance, strength, fat loss or aesthetics. Some way to more broadly describe what one is trying to accomplish.

The project is GPL licensed, if, however, you cannot use GPL licensed software do get in touch with support@img.ly and we'll make the package available to you under a different license.

Thanks for your interest, currently not but keyframing is on the roadmap for next year!

Probably the best info on nutrition I have come across.

It is indeed, thanks for pointing it out. We'll add something about adding text.

Thanks, removed the check, it was indeed just awkwardly worded.

There should be a table of contents at the beginning of the post. It's not very detailed, but expands as you scroll to each section.

I agree the reading time does not really convey too much useful info, the blogging platform is designed for simpler and shorter posts. Maybe a replacing it with a wordcount would be better.

FFmpeg is powerful technology, yet approaching it can be very daunting. So we decided to create an approachable guide for intermediate devs. Feedback is very much appreciated.

I'd be interested how you arrived at this particular pricing. $20 per year seems crazy low to me, have you experimented at all with raising the price. Intuitively, I'd think that the next cut-off point is at $49, but that in the range below that the demand is fairly inelastic.

This is great! Thanks.

Our iOS dev hunkered down today and may have come up with a decent solution to your EAGLView issue. You can find the write-up on medium: https://medium.com/imgly/bringing-wide-color-to-photoeditor-....

Hey, I had the same thought and set up a group. Sign up here and an invite will be send out http://www.deeplearningweekly.com/slack_invitations/new cheers

Wow, thanks, I am glad that you found this useful. I wanted to edit some stuff and make it a bit more readable but the update form is a little crummy.

If there are any points I can clarify further let me know, thi s is a really off-the-cuff sketch and I had fun doing it and wouldn't mind digging a little deeper on some ares.

I am currently a developer in charge of growth at photoeditorsdk.com and about to crank on our inbound marketing. Although a very different market from your's we've had success with cold-emailing as detailed in [Predictable Revenue](https://www.amazon.com/Predictable-Revenue-Business-Practice...). The biggest boost came from preparing industry specific sales pitches & demos.

Cheers

Please excuse, if my comments come off as presumptuous or overbearing, you certainly know your business and customers better than I do, I’ll just rattle off what my set of fresh eyes observed and what I think you might want to look into.

In general, what stands out to me is that you do not have a clear USP and you do not seem to speak your target markets language, it might be that since you are addressing markets in many different verticals that you have no clear persona in mind to convince with your copy, no specific set of pain points or benefits to address directly.

In any case, I would try to interview my current customers, ask them to describe in their own words how your software is helping them, what pain they were experiencing before and how they previously dealt with it. 
Then you can go about ‘cloning’ them by marketing to specific verticals, have landing pages for hospitals and retailers, agencies and address problems specific to these industries using the information and sound bites you mined from your customer research. 
This will also allow you to do some long-tail SEO, produce relevant white papers, tailor your testimonials and in general tighten your copy since you now know who you are talking to.

Take a look for instance at your benefits, they are not benefits, at best they are product features: “Reminders & Communication”, and some are not even that: “No Install Or Setup”.
How about “Never fail audit xyz again with our bullet employee foozle tracking system”, find a specific problem and tie it to what your software can do.

 There is an interesting line on your landing page:
“Stay on top of critical legislative and legal requirements to store and recall employee.“ How many businesses are not compliant with these requirements, what are the consequences, use this risk and fear in your marketing, it is a strong motivator and sure to catch the attention of any business owner or HR manager, HR is inherently boring if you can’t excite at least agitate.

This is also a great opportunity to educate, small business owner, entrepreneurs, agencies, we all like to skimp on HR, do more research on the legal risk and host a webinar for business owners educating them on it, underscore the necessity of reliable HR management for becoming a ‘serious’ business.

I also found there was a lack of strong social proof on your site, this is HR show some people, preferably happy teams, show company logos, media mentions, photos of the people you quote. If you have impressive sounding metrics such as the number of employees processed by your system, total payroll handled etc. display them somewhere.

Also, if you aren’t already, try outbound sales, email people, get them on the phone, discuss their problems and whether there is a mutual fit, maybe you can uncover a great selling point, niche or approach, read Spin Selling and Predictable Revenue. If you can get this channel to work profitably and in a predictable fashion, you have total control over your revenue. If you not going full outbound make it easier to contact you, many companies, especially old economy want to talk to someone on the phone, no-touch sales on the internet is a tough proposition in some industries.

As to pricing here you probably have the easiest wins, get rid of all your plans (especially the free one) charge 19 bucks or something per employee in the system, this is a true value metric, easy to understand and uniform. Right now you have a large number of fairly arbitrarily split pricing plans, with non linearly increasing prices, why do bigger companies pay less per employee, if anything you should find a way to have them pay more. Not only will this increase your revenue, you will also grow linearly with your customers. 
Once you have built out quantitative buying personas, that is quantifiable sets of customers that differ in they price sensitivity, budget, the features they value etc. (most likely corresponding to the different verticals you serve) then go about and segment.
Have tiers actually cater to distinct customer groups segmented by meaningful criteria such as specific feature sets, integrations with industry specific software etc.
see here http://www.priceintelligently.com/blog/everyone-in-saas-is-u... for more info.

You also mention HR consultancies, is there a way to partner with them, offering either a white label version of you software they can sell to their clients or a commission, are there opportunities for other types of partnerships; events, conferences, case studies etc?

You seem to have a great product in a good market I hope you have commensurate success :)
