Have you ever wondered how AI engineers fine-tune and align large language models? Under the hood, they run Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), optimize ...

You have got to stop making these or I am going to run out of ways to say "this is cool."🤣 Is a fighting game version next?
Oh that sounds cool! Maybe...
Imo, this 1 needed more work, but I was getting tired, cuz I also prepped a proposal for a newspaper company, with hopes to get a SLA to overhaul their system 🤞It has an AI-generated Crossword, vector word search (both generated based on the news of the day) and sudoku. Proxied ads, so they can actually make money off site-readers. Jpeg to webp conversion pipeline (yeah... They were uploading full fat jpeg), a writer's assistant that audits their piece and gives feedback (local LLM driven), an ad-planner that lets them grid-arrange their articles and auto-fit, so they dont need publisher any wordpress anymore separately, it's write once and it's formatted for print and display. Remote IT support. ROI calculator, where they can adjust to their own web-stats to see just how much I can save them each month. The actual SLA, along with a proposal list so there's a clear scope of what's in the job description and what isnt, set rate and projects that I can do for them for a fixed price given. Also added a section where I put the games I post here, so they can also have a look at those? They can always pay me to make the daily/weekly games for their site too?
No wonder you were getting tired — that's not a proposal, that's a whole product roadmap. The "write once, formatted for print and display" alone is a solid value prop, especially for a newspaper that's likely got two completely separate pipelines today.
The ROI calculator is the underrated part though. Biggest mistake freelancers make is selling features instead of savings. Letting them plug in their own numbers shifts the conversation from "do we need this?" to "how much do we save?" — that's the kind of sales engineering most SLAs skip.
Also, including the games as a teaser? Smart upsell framing disguised as a portfolio reference 😄
Hope they bite. When's the pitch meeting?
Well, it was a job posting I saw, but they wanted someone to basically be a jack of all trades. Fixing printers to maintaining security, upgrading site to dockerizing the platform. So essentially right up my alley 😂 except I dont want to move. So the proposal is more to convince them to sign for me as remote. given I can rdp in faster than their techs can walk down the hall and it doesnt interrupt my workflow on the software side.
I'm still ironing out a few bugs, hopefully it'll be done by today, so I can hunt down the managing director and email him directly for it. So he can see just how much their wasting without even noticing it.
Idk, with the games, I thought it was a cool idea given I anyway write them for here, it'll let them educate people on AI, in an interactive way. Honestly the crossword + sudoku + Vector word search, combined with the ad proxy are the focal piece... It takes you 15 min to complete the game, but in doing so, they get 15 min of ad view time. Newspapers here are bleeding as is, that might actually help them make some money back...
Oh, it also has AI generated summaries of articles and TTS for the summary and article for people who dont want to read.
With the pipeline, yeah that's the case, cuz they're using wordpress. So you upload via wordpress, then you still need to use adobe publisher to prep it for print... So very expensive subscription + double the work. Instead of click 1 button and all today's articles are fit nicely and you can just drag and drop where you want them if you want to change it. sounds like something that can save them ALOT of time.
I actually lost my first few games because I ignored the regularizer cards. Once I started using them better, things went a lot smooth.. @geometry arrow
