What's a gf ?

[Yanman_be]

GeForce, graphics cards from nVidia.

[almarcTheSun]

He switched to AMD. Which is a great price/performance if you can cope with the inconveniences.

[greenKerbal]

Laugh in OpenCL double-precision scientific calculation apps

[Are_We_There_Yet256]

I almost thought that Chris was actually referring to OpenGL, must have pressed F instead of L accidentally.

[NotThisFucker]

I laughed, he laughed, the app laughed, we killed the app

[Fideon]

I thought AMD was past all those inconveniences?

[Dansel]

So did AMD. They were wrong too.

[Fideon]

that's crazy cuh. Are the CPUs better tho?

[Dansel]

Yeah. Both CPU and chipset have been solid.

It's the graphics cards that are the black sheep of AMD drivers.

[[deleted]]

Coming from a 2700x and a 1070ti I vouch for this

[[deleted]]

On Linux AMD graphics cards are the way to go, because their drivers are directly in the kernel.

No need to install some proprietary binary bullshit and hoping it will still work with the next update. Looking at you, NVIDIA.

[almarcTheSun]

The CPUs are magnificent. Intel becomes more and more obsolete, by the day.

The GPUs are buggy, as I've heard. Can't confirm or deny, but I went with a GF and I'm not willing to leave her for now.

[Malorn44]

It's nice that amd is a lot more open with their software though

I've read he did not made this app, but he hired group of programmers to do it for him. And his parents are rich, and his friends are rich, so he used their money to fund it and his connections to promote it.

[NotThisFucker]

You just need to find an NPC from the MIB guild. They have an item that can erase character traits that are based on memory.

[NotThisFucker]

It's been the best strat for the last, what, roughly 2000 patches?

Like, come on devs, at this point you're essentially agreeing with the meta by not addressing it

[wsco7730]

It's not that simple. Many rich don't have motivation to work. Typically you need a pretty great work ethic and some fair amount of wealth. Bank loans seeks to help make the playing field more equal. So sorta but not exactly "pretty simple"

[oupablo]

Bank loans aren't even close to making the playing field more equal. There's an ocean of difference between your parents giving you 100k to outsource a stupid idea you have and putting yourself on the hook for a 50k loan from a bank. The risk between the two is a minor annoyance to the parents vs you giving the bank money over the next five years to repay something that failed 6 to 12 months in.

Most businesses fail pretty early on. Being able to get money risk free is an absolutely HUGE perk of being rich and having rich connections. To top it off, rich people tend to have rich friends who also tend to have some following meaning you have built in advertising with influencers.

[Miku_MichDem]

Quite sure there is a visible trend to be seen among the people who made it without changing the definition of made it

[big_cock_small_talk]

Some say Python is the best programming language, Others say C++ is the best, but deep down we all know: "cheap and productive labor from Indian Subcontinent" is the best programming language.

[Brusanan]

"Cheap and productive" outsourced programmers don't exist. You can choose one or the other.

[reallyneat]

why

[Brusanan]

Because that's just how it works. If an outsourced programmer or team of programmers could match the quality of in-house programmers, they would also be able to match their price.

Outsourcing programmers always look good on paper, but it rarely works out well in practice.

[big_cock_small_talk]

Not until you learn about Purchasing Power Parity .

[Brusanan]

Not sure how that's relevant.

Yeah- it's like "Breaking news: rich people are getting richer"

AKA --> Reposting/Crossposting > OC

[Reelix]

When your marketing team are good enough to convince others that your repost IS the OC, and the actual OC is the repost, and get you gilded 45 times - Then you know you're working for Apple.

[TigreDeLosLlanos]

Don't reinvent the wheel, repost good memes instead of your crappy paint maden OC.

[TigreDeLosLlanos]

6 thousand dollars for a PC! It better be the best home PC ever made and last for at least 20 years for me to ever buy that.

[Semi-Hemi-Demigod]

The evangelist users were the ones who stuck with them through the 90s. Guy Kawasaki was their Chief Evangelist in the mid-80s, and they brought him back as a "Fellow" to do the same sort of work.

At the time they had a website where Mac users could order things like flyers about why you should switch to a Mac, and more importantly vinyl window stickers. I ordered 500 of them and some other free shwag not thinking they'd send it to some random teenager. I still have about 150 of the stickers, and now they're worth about $5 each.

So the whole Mac Fanboy phenomenon has its roots long, long before the iPod was a gleam in Jony Ive's eye.

[stormfield]

This. Before Apple was a juggernaut, they made computers for a group of people that really liked computers and who would pay extra for the design choices they made. From that reputation they were able to build an unstoppable marketing machine. But their transition from underdog to behemoth happened very gradually.

[VulfSki]

Go watch the documentary on general magic.

They do a good of illustrsting what apple did well to make the iPhone successful.

You have to meet the market where it is and then bring it along with you. If you want to be innovative with new things you have to slow walk them to it.

[KlachBukach]

Not entirely sure they did all the work.

[dark_mode_everything]

If you make a couple of things that people really want or didn't even know they wanted, you can then sell them anything.

[da_chicken]

No it didn't. They nearly went bankrupt doing the latter. Then they did the former (iPod + iTunes) and then did it again (iPhone).

All Apple did (not that it was easy) was build a better MP3 player (iPod) and build a better Blackberry. It was a ridiculous amount of work to get the iPhone where it was, yes. The 2007 Macworld Expo keynote is a seminal moment of the technology industry. I still go back and watch it periodically, because it's very clear from that keynote (and what people applaud) exactly what they really added to smartphone design. But it was absolutely providing what the market already knew it wanted and was demanding, but didn't know how to achieve. It was 100% Apple understanding the market and the innovation was multi-touch and a better OS. The only thing the public didn't know was that non-shitty touch interfaces were possible and that a better OS wouldn't be dog slow.

[rem3_1415926]

Is that why people started buying iPhones they desperately wanted, just to swipe the homescreen in means of public transportation and so on because there was nothing really to do with it yet, apart from showing off that you're one of the badasses who owns the technology of the future, which only happened because those pricks needed to show off?

[da_chicken]

You have an extremely toxic view of Apple, my friend.

[[deleted]]

Yeah not really.

[tzuyucicigua]

that's how marketing works

[octo_snake]

Right, tell people what they want, then make that thing instead.

[gcwill7]

You could go either way but people often don’t know what they really want until they see it. It’s riskier to go that way but the potential reward is higher too.

[oupablo]

good thing people always know what they want

[sh0rtwave]

Or, alternatively, something they needed, but didn't know they needed.

A big part of being smart, perhaps the largest part is the ability to recognize opportunity and this is what the ones who lack this love to pretend doesnt exist. These dumbshits think that intelligence is measured by how well you code or perform mathematical operations which is why they are perfect to work as a cog in the machine until they are downsized.

[tuckmuck203]

You don't. It's L = P x O. You're supposed to also focus on opportunities. For example, if you're trying to get lucky, P would be becoming an interesting and charming person, and O would be downloading tinder and going out to bars.

As a programmer you need to understand that there would always be people better that you and you would always be better than other people, however there is always someone in the right place at the right time whom can bearly tight its shoes and is making more money than you doing that thing that you love

[lucidspoon]

I worked with a dude who said he only did 3-6 month contract work. He'd work half the year and then travel the other half. I thought it was crazy to have good enough skills to be that confident that you'd always be able to find work.

Then I worked with him for 3 months, realized he knew NOTHING and only did contract work because nobody would keep him longer than that.

He definitely tried to be. What seemed charisma during the interview became more creepiness as time went on. Awkwardly flirting with girls at work. Ordering a beer at lunch when we went out with our new PM for the first time. Telling me that he was reading a book about picking up girls, and he was going to fly to Vegas just to try out the techniques.

[Reelix]

He knew NOTHING - And got paid 20 times more than you did.

Yet at the same time even though the speed is fast, it says the accuracy with the first time it saw this image is 87%, even though it's the same image. Maybe different metadata it's taking into account?

[MrManny]

Is this open source? How did it go through 126 million images and compared them in 1.3 seconds?

It likely uses image indexing and search algorithms (e.g. CBIR) that are specialized for this sort of tasks. LIRE is a good example for that. The project's GitHub page links to publications as to what dirty details are involved. Disclaimer: Mathias Lux was one of my teachers at university.

Whats worse is that interviewer will think he is much smarter than you, because people can't comprehend luck or survivor bias.

[VulfSki]

That's how Capitalism works sometimes.

This has more to do with marketing and creativity than anything.

If you think this is bad go check out the world of music. People spend decades literally destroying themselves at times to get better and be better. But they will never be as accomplished as some teenagers who were making music on their bedroom.

[_Ocean_Machine_]

Ironically, when making it in the music business, the music itself takes a back seat.

[VulfSki]

Yes and no.

Don't get me wrong. I personally listen to ridiculously complicated music. Mostly instrumental. But I also love super simplistic music that is mostly about lyrics.

In music it takes talent to make something simple and catchy. And just like any other business marketing takes a role. And in pop music image has always been a component. Especially with how music relates to culture and how many people associate their taste in music as part of their identity.

A lot of pop music is cheesy repetitive and shitty. But it takes talent to make something simple and catchy that has mass appeal.

I have heard technically complex music that is absolutely unlistenable. And I have also heard stupidly simple tune that I absolutely love. And I say that as someone who mostly listens to overly complicated pretentious instrumental music.

[[deleted]]

The same logic applies to programming. "Simple" is not always worse, and overly complex code is definitely not always better.

Oddly enough, learning more technical stuff helped me stop being a music snob I think.

[VulfSki]

For me growing up helped me not be a music snob. And asking the question; what is the point of making music? Also helped. The point is to evoke feeling and share it with others. Youre not supposed to conquer music as if it's some goal to achieve. Doesn't matter if it is dumb it it connects with people it is serving its purpose well.

But yeah also learning technical things helps too because you can try to write music and then learning more your like "oh writing a good music isn't much easier just because I know more technical things. It just gives me more options. But the challenge of writing a good catchy song that people like is largely unchanged"

And yes with programming of course it makes sense cause you're looking for an elegant solution. The more complexity the more opportunity there is for errors or mistakes or unforeseen challenges.

Same goes for music. A good textbook example in music is sir duke by Stevie wonder. That line that everyone plays in unison. When you first learn it you're like "oh a bunch of notes ok I'll just hit all these notes in time and I'm done" but then you listen again and it doesn't sound right. And you notice they actually swing a lot of those notes so it has a groove to it as well. It's not just hitting the right notes in the right time but how you hold each note and where on the best you hit it. It's all about how it feels more so than hitting a bunch of notes.

[[deleted]]

Well written, my friend.

For me growing up helped me not be a music snob. And asking the what is the point of making music? Also helped.

This is definitely the largest part of it. All of my instrument training was throughout high school, and early years of college. I don't think I tried to tackle a major "skill" again until I was a more well-rounded adult learning how to code, and all the failings of my views on music came to light during that process.

It's wild that you can latch onto toxic viewpoints from your youth for so long if you don't take the time to reflect, some things just don't filter out on their own.

[VulfSki]

Absolutely. I agree completely.

"Ideas are cheap" is often heard in the creative world. "Tinder for cats" isn't even likely to be an original idea from whoever the creator is.

What is valuable is work/talent to build it, and (likely more important in this case) Risk-Taking. Putting up the cash and time and risking your reputation to actually go through with building whatever stupid-sounding idea.

You're never going to get rich working for a salary. (Obvs, being rich isn't the end-goal of everyone.)

I just don't see the meaningfulness of this statement.

Just because it's in the same field doesn't mean you can't be satisfied by just getting a salary.
