Recently started a website dev agency. Finding it difficult to find leads - my target demo is trades people who I guess are not very technical. I send the messages via DM with a pre recorded vid of me showcasing their websites but no responses at all.
Have not tried cold calling (not sure how to)
Any advice for a newbie?
Did my second ADCC after 1.1 years of training. Still a no stripes on my belt (I never make it to stripe day classes because my work runs late). ADCC was best of 3 (1 guy in my bracket) and I won 1 round via decision. The other two rounds I was just too tired to do anything and was basically defence mode but got tapped - one arm bar, kinda hurts but not too bad. Last round I tapped to a mounted triangle wrist lock (wtf)
This is my 3rd overall comp. I managed to calm my nerves but I still forget techniques in the heat of battle.
But oh well here we are with x2 ADCC silver medals as participation trophies and more questions and positions to work on.
I was curious as to how much water is consumed by these data centres to cool their hardware during regular Claude sessions.
So, I vibe coded ThirstyLLM.
I started off with a research paper to find out the methodology (Li et al. 2023) - I spoke to the authors, quickly found out the research was a bit dated got a new resource that shows the current energy usage of data centres/LLMs, implemented it and now we have ThirstyLLM. Fully open source - for the community to try and mess around with. But please make sure the contributions are double triple checked if you are going to play around with the repo =)

My own usage:
Has anyone sold all their stocks on Hatch and moved to Kernal PIE funds? I am thinking of doing this but really do not want to lose my average costs that's on Hatch.
My plan is to sell all my positions and go 80% SPY and the rest on individual companies I like.
I will be paying FIF tax this year - will selling all my stocks mean I pay more tax on top of that? Can I claim a loss by selling an underperforming stock?
Thoughts pls
