I built a pipeline sending my wife and I SMSs twice a week with budgeting advice generated by AI

**What My Project Does**:
I built a pipeline of Dagger modules to send my wife and I SMSs twice a week with actionable financial advice generated by AI based on data from bank accounts regarding our daily spending.

**Details:**

Dagger is an open source programmable CI/CD engine. I built each step in the pipeline as a Dagger method. Dagger spins up ephemeral containers, running everything within its own container. I use GitHub Actions to trigger dagger methods that;

* retrieve data from a source
* filter for new transactions
* Categorizes transactions using a zero shot model, facebook/bart-large-mnli through the HuggingFace API. This process is optimized by sending data in dynamically sized batches asynchronously. 
* Writes the data to a MongoDB database
* Retrieves the data, using Atlas search to aggregate the data by week and categories
* Sends the data to openAI to generate financial advice. In this module, I implement a memory using LangChain. I store this memory in MongoDB to persist the memory between build runs. I designed the database to rewrite the data whenever I receive new data. The memory keeps track of feedback given, enabling the advice to improve based on feedback
* This response is sent via SMS through the TextBelt API

I made a small Python script that uses NASA'S APOD API to set cool backgrounds on a Windows machine

https://github.com/william7491681/APOD\_Wallpaper\_Script

# What my project does

NASA has a ton of accessible API's, one of which being the APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day) API. I made a script to get the last 9 pictures of the day and set them as my Windows 10 background, and then used task scheduler to have the script re-run every day at noon and whenever the computer boots up.

It's fairly hard coded for my setup (specific file paths, 1920x1080 monitor, etc), but it shouldn't be too hard to change if one wanted to.

# Target audience

Anyone who likes space backgrounds

Idk, automod made me put this section

Python Anywhere vs Heroku

Hey folks, I’m thinking about deploying a side project that I have been working on. It will store basic user data (name, email, password, etc.). I am debating between Python Anywhere and Heroku. Python Anywhere seems to be giving me more for the basic 5 buck plan vs Heroku, but I’ve heard Heroku is more reliable and easier to scale. Has anyone tried either or both? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

JSX Syntax inside Python files. (Packed)

There was a JSX-style syntax preprocessor for Python called "Packed," which allowed us to write JSX inside Python (*.pyx and *.py) files. It's unclear why they chose *.pyx for the file extension, as it conflicts with the naming of Cythonic file extensions (I have checked their issues). This project might have thrived with sufficient contributions and could have changed the way apps are built. However, the project is now archived on GitHub. The last commit was 5 years ago (LICENSE), and the last development commit was 9 years ago. This repository needs someone to revive it, but I don't have enough experience to take on that task. Even though I don't have enough information, we should start with Rust + Python to build a compiler (aka. template replacer) (this doesn't compile Python but replaces all JSX with a dictionary) and cleaner syntax. Integration with Django (Packed has an example too), Flask, FastAPI, Robyn etc.

We may also need plugins for the language server, I recommend supporting with *.pyh or *.psx (a fork renamed name) the extension file name (Derived from Python + HTML). VSCODE and NVIM Extensions are required to build support for this. The existing modern syntax of native Python

Session variable is empty when accessed by other Flask routes

I can't figure out why my session variables aren't transferring to other flask routes. I believe I have it set up properly, but I'm having a problem with this code:

R Introducing SSAMBA: The Self-Supervised Audio Mamba!

Hey Reddit,

Tired of transformers? Is attention really all you need? Meet SSAMBA (Self-Supervised Audio Mamba)! 🐍✨

This attention-free, purely state-space model (SSM)-based, self-supervised marvel doesn’t just hiss—it roars! SSAMBA achieves better or similar performance to its transformer-based counterparts (SSAST) on tasks like speaker identification, keyword spotting, and audio classification. But here's the kicker: it’s much more GPU memory efficient and quicker at inference, especially with longer audio lengths.

Curious? Check out the full paper here: SSAMBA on arXiv

Thanks for tuning in!

D Detecting Objects of Same Shape but Different Colors

I'm struggling with detecting objects that have the same shape but different colors, with no other distinguishing features. When there are distinguishable patterns, CNN-based architectures like YOLO work wonders and achieve high accuracy. However, I need a method that can accurately classify objects based purely on color.

My current challenge is that these objects are not separable when I try to segment them by color in RGB space. Does anyone have suggestions or methods that achieve good accuracy in determining object classes by color?

I've included an image below for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

D Paperswithcode relevant?

I feel like paperswithcode became less relevant for tracking progress in ML in general for me.

But it’s hard to say, in my field (tabular ML/DL) there are not many established academic benchmarks (no need for something like papers with code yet)

In NLP and foundation model space leaderboards in hf spaces became a thing (mostly in NLP).

Overall, paperswithcode just feels less maintained and less useful.

Do you use paperswithcode often? What do you use it for? What’s your field where it is useful?

Tutorial: Sure Fire Streamlit - A Sidebar And Multi-visual Layout You'll Love

Python Streamlit is a fast-growing framework for creating interactive maps using Python code.

Interactive maps are better than static maps as they provide granular configuration opportunities for your users.

In this tutorial:

1. A sidebar with two dropdown menus allowing the user to select both a year and a colour scheme
2. A global choropleth map showing results by country (for a chosen year)
3. A horizontal bar chart showing the Top 10 countries by value (for a chosen year)
4. A set of range values showing high, average, and low (for a chosen year)

PythonAnywhere service degradation

Hello all,

When I started learning Django 10 years ago, PythonAnywhere helped me take off with easy set-up and operations. I have never had any issue with them over almost all of that time frame.

For over a year now, they have become unreliable, with regular non-scheduled outages in the middle of the day, lasting anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. I work with several businesses for which a downtime in a critical moment can have a huge business impact.

They have communicated ZERO TIMES on these issues. They don't have a status page. I can understand having technical issues, but I cannot forgive the fact that they seem to be trying to hide these issues from their users.

When asked, they reply saying they are having hardware issues. But again, there is no proactive communications, only replies when asked.

They were acquired by Anaconda in June of 2022. One has to wonder if this triggered a hardware migration that is causing these issues.

I am writing here to you all to know if you have had the same experience. I have multiple accounts and multiple sites running, all on the EU servers of PythonAnywhere, so I know it's not my account, but I'd still like

Caching full page responses with a service worker for a MPA.

Hi all, I'm in the process of building the PWA for my Django web-app, which was built as a MPA (mainly for the ease of it for SEO).

I'm attempting to cache the full responses for certain pages so that they then load instantaneously with no request ever even sent to the server for the rendering of the page.

My sw.js is in my static directory.

Is this even possible? The page cache response never seems to be triggered, so nothing even saved to be able to attempt to retrieve, and from logs, it never even tries to check if there's something to retrieve either.

I made a desktop chat app :)

What My Project Does

Hi! This is my first time doing a python project more than a few hours in size.

I made a chat app which features E2E encryption using a passcode and has a multiclient architecture.

All comments are welcome!


Target Audience

It is just a toy project for my portfolio.


Comparison

Compared to other chat clients, this one uses a passphrase to encrypt all data, with the passphrase being chosen out of the app, for instance on a dinner.

But I think that IRC already has this, so it doesn't differ much XD.

I am a Flask Developer who wanted to have Anonymity with the Freedom to Express and Share anything, so I created an app so that everyone can have that freedom!

Ticket to Anonymity

AtTweeter you are not a data that would be stored in a database, but you are a anon user with no credentials or information. Now you may think, where does the message go? The messages that a user send is actually stored inside a list, which is impossible to be traced back to the sender (because the messages don't include your nametag, or any data associated to you). Also, we do timely message clear too, so the conversations are not permanent.

Imagine: My friend, let's pretend his name is Alex, wanted to have a heartfelt conversation with his girlfriend about their future plans, but he was worried about the privacy of their discussion. He didn't want their intimate moments to be intercepted by prying eyes or data-hungry algorithms.

That's when I introduced him to AtTweeter 𓅦 – a revolutionary social app designed with privacy as its cornerstone. With AtTweeter, Alex and his girlfriend were able to chat freely, knowing that their conversations were shielded from any unwanted surveillance.

But that's not all! There is a section called Game Arena, where you and your friends can bond over nostalgic old games (remember the game called snake?) and challenge each other to climb

Host flask website on tor

I downloaded tor on linux, and changed the config to expose the port and used nginx to host a static website, following this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bllS9tkCkaM now i stopped the nginx service and then i ran flask on port 80 by adding it into app.run and running the thing using sudo (also had to use sudo shell to install flask from pip and then run using python3 app.py as it was showing flask not found if i ran it with sudo but worked when ran normally so i installed flask again using sudo) and now as it's running on port 80 i can access it using tor, it works but my question is - is this how you are supposed to host it? Do i need to configure something else? In the video we configured nginx at 20:00 which he said would make the website "a bit safe" what else do i have to do?
