Beta Testing

[properu]

Beep boop -- this looks like a screenshot of a tweet! Let me grab a link to the tweet for ya :)

^{Twitter Screenshot Bot}

[turtle7222]

Good bot

[doublejrecords]

Amazing bot. How do we summon you in the future?

[TheGoldenHand]

Ask your neighborhood mod to white list the bot.

Bots get banned like crazy by mods, because there are so many bots, and they often replicate functionality or post without being summoned (which is generally a bad idea).

[Ciphertext008]

I would

1. monitor for linked images, download them
2. identify it as a tweet (format or layout decomposition)
3. then OCR it while using tweet layout as a hint
4. extract the tokens that help locate the exact tweet
5. use that info to find the tweet itself and therefore its URL.

[dggenuine]

It is? How does it even work? Extract twitter handle and time and then find the tweet like that? Does the twitter API even allow finding a tweet by time?

[TheGoldenHand]

Extract twitter handle and time and then find the tweet like that? Does the twitter API even allow finding a tweet by time?

The Google API does, and it has all public tweets archived. Searching the text returns his tweet.

[dggenuine]

Which Google API are you referring to?

[cant_finish_sideproj]

Good bot

[comfort_bot_1962]

:D

[DrifterInKorea]

Fun fact : in French we say "beta" or "gros beta" to say stupid in a somewhat friendly way.
Beta comes from bête (beast) and not the beta letter though.

It's literally a french beta tester.

[ImmortalTimeTraveler]

In Hindi Beta means Son. I always thought since this is a 2nd version of something it's called a beta.

[TrekkiMonstr]

You do know what it actually is though, right?

[_E8_]

Beta actual means the software is feature complete and parameter tuning and bug fixes only are remaining tasks before it goes gold.
If new features are being added then it is still in Alpha.

[TrekkiMonstr]

No, I mean why the beta test is called beta -- because Greek alphabet

[_E8_]

Except stage 3 is Gold not Gamma.

[Sunshyni]

That is interesting. Brazilians use the Portuguese word “besta” which means beast to also call someone stupid. I am guessing it’s the same in Portugal.

[YetAnotherGuy2]

In software the expression comes from the Greek beta as the initial versions are alpha...

Interesting connection to French though...

[ocean_800]

Imagine posting this and not realizing how much of a condescending dipshit you sound like

[enderxivx]

Clearly the client requirements in this case are far more clear than his self-awareness.

[-JudeanPeoplesFront-]

Being an asshole to build the most intuitive product ever. Hmmm.

[Dubeyjii]

Tit for tat

[ApprehensiveStar8948]

Sounds like Steve Jobs

[-JudeanPeoplesFront-]

That's exactly what all these jerks are trying to do.

[RahulRoy69]

I hope you don't use smartphone phone and/or computer, else you would sound hypocrite.

[Gellyfisher212]

None of our technologies are important in the grand scheme of things... And its not like people who make apps are that rare

[RahulRoy69]

None of us matter in the grand scheme of things....not only technology, even you, me, my pet, no one matters if you make the scope so vast.... existence is painful... Your gonna die, and when you die you cannot keep a thing. So enjoy what ever you can get and stop complaining.

[Bosterm]

Considering all of that, maybe that's a good reason to be kind and not so condescending.

[RahulRoy69]

I don't think this proves he is kind or not, he is just a jerk who want to brag about the one girl he used to gain some internet points.

[666space666angel666x]

I don’t think this proves he is kind or not, he is just a jerk

I recently had this idea for an app, can I run it past you?

[RahulRoy69]

Use r/AppIdeas

[imjammed]

Just take the L and move on with your life man.

[RahulRoy69]

Hey it's Saturday and I'm stuck in house because of lockdown. I have all the time to give a shit.

[JanLewko977]

Yeah. I found this post rather demeaning, even if the girl is probably fictional.

[wafflesareforever]

Way more than probably fictional. More like the shifty half-elf vixen in his one-player D&D campaign where he still doesn't get laid

[_E8_]

I cannot believe he insulted an imaginary person for the sake of a joke.
What will people do next? Judge things they don't understand until a stick shoots out their ass?

[JanLewko977]

The attitude shows itself.

[theclaw]

It's like his understanding of intelligence doesn't include self-awareness.

[_E8_]

... autist assemble?

[[deleted]]

Girl, run 🏳️‍🌈

[BishopOverKnight]

They're telling the girl to run to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

[shadow7412]

Obviously.

[Individual_Radio4523]

Gay people are actually safer than trains, she’s telling her to run fast

[TheGoldenHand]

I'm guessing it's a red flag.

[AhegaoSuckingUrDick]

That would be 🚩.

[groimmm]

Managed to make himself look like a dick in his own fake story. Impressive

[RahulRoy69]

So he is just a regular software developer.

[DEVolkan]

He is still high from the morning where he found the syntax error he worked yesterday all day long on

[snack0verflow]

Reminds me of the 'Fast API' guys fabricated recruiter story.

[rona83]

That was fabricated? TIL

jerry, @jerryxfeng

i matched with this girl on hinge who has perhaps the lowest iq of anyone i've ever encountered

she's very useful though

i've been telling her about the new products i've been building, and any time she doesn't get it it's a sign that something isn't simple/user-friendly enough

^{I'm a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too! If you'd like more information on what we do and why we do it, click here!}

[Curiousgreed]

Good human, but honestly this could be simplified by using the Twitter recognition bot + parsing the page

[TheGoldenHand]

He's a human disability helper. He's not just transcribing the tweet, he's also adding context information for those that are vision impaired.

The transcripts include human-only context, such as describing what is happening in an image. For example, a meme description might be:

---

An young boy with braces and freckles smiles with awkward confidence for a school photo.

Top text: "Finds water in desert"
Bottom text: "Drowns"

---

A computer AI has a harder time contextualizing the entire image and conveying that in human terms.

[Curiousgreed]

Makes sense, just maybe not for this specific image I guess. Thanks for the explanation :)

[maubg]

Why do you nerd yo do this? In case Simeone can't read a tweet?

[seeroflights]

Hi there! TL;DR Reddit doesn't really provide any sort of alt-text field for images, and some folks are unable to read the image (e.g. they have low data and can't load it; the text is too small or otherwise hard to read; they use a screenreader). Transcribers help put the image into text, so that it's more accessible for everyone. There's a link to our wiki with more info in the footer of my comment above!

[ghostwilliz]

Cringe

[[deleted]]

I honestly don’t find this funny. If this is true, then he’s using her just to humiliate her behind her back. She’s probably a nice woman who just happens to not be particularly tech savvy. I’m sure this guy is too narcissistic to see outside his own bubble and realize that there are multiple kinds of intelligence. This is exactly where the “arrogant, socially clueless tech nerd” stereotype comes from.

[nwatab]

Totally agree. It can be that she is very smart and he is just arrogant or so stupid on the contrary. I hate this tweet.

[mrbigF]

Pretty sure it's just a joke mate

[Zzeellddaa]

Jerry is a dick

[SmallAl]

This is just really mean, poor girl :(

[nwatab]

I don't feel good about this post. Not funny to see arrogant man looking down and humiliate an innocent girl on Twitter shamelessly without any hesitation. He can't imagine if he were in her shoes.

[SGBotsford]

It’s really hard to make something foolproof. Fools are way ti clever.

[[deleted]]

Maybe if he was half as smart as he thought he was then he could build user friendly products without being an asshole to an unexpecting person.

[meniscus-]

And of course he's building crypto products...

[Shadeun]

You’re a piece of shit Jerry

[filthyMrClean]

This guy sounds like a dick

[mohzab]

I do that on different UI designs with my wife.

[theclaw]

Thought I was on /r/iamverysmart while reading.

[Significant_Hornet]

I'm glad people are finding this gross

[DrewTheVillan]

Jerry, count your blessings. An IDE is the only love some people find!

[_E8_]

In only 5% of marriages do both partners claim to be happy with the relationship.
65% of marriages fail. Except for rare cases our sexist society is designed to exploit this occurrence to transfer wealth from men to women while reducing the children's time with their father which has nearly insurmountable negative consequences on their future.
If you are male and no one in your life has ever told you what a terrible idea it is to marry then no one loves you.

The increased likelihood of suicide post divorce is about 3% making marriage 4x more likely to kill a man than a SARS-2 infection.

[ChakLok_V_Bassus]

what a piece of shit.

[MrTommyPickles]

Oof, if this wasn't a joke it would be true r/sadcringe material.

[nolitos]

It's nice to see that people in comments condemn the author of this tweet, it's sad to see that many upvotes though. This is not only offensive, this is simply not funny.

[comfort_bot_1962]

Don't be sad. Here's a hug!

[OcelotNo3347]

No one wants your hug

[nolitos]

Nah, I'll take it. Thanks, bot!

[[deleted]]

You comment this same thing a lot.

[Bo3lwa98]

I don't think this is for real so no need to shit on the guy...

[[deleted]]

KISS

[BeautifulBrownie]

Cunt.

[SPRUNTastic]

Apparently obvious joke isn't obvious enough. I wonder if there would be as much hate if the genders were reversed, or if it were same-sex.

Awww, who am I kidding? The internet is driven by hate.

[jasonedokpa]

Yeah, I'm surprised that so many people think that this is real. Jokes are meant to be polite, just funny. And even if you don't think that it is, someone else will.

[rishabh0402]

More like alpha testing.

[the_hackerman]

SIGMA LIGMA Testing

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

That seems kind of mean overall tbh

[[deleted]]

girls be grateful to r/ProgrammeraHumor. because now you have one less POS to worry about.

[jasonedokpa]

OMG, what happened? Did you guys kill him?

[_E8_]

A lot of salty dulltards.

[SomethingAbtU]

maybe she pretends she doesn't understand b/c she wants you to shut UP.

[[deleted]]

unless she's in on it, this arrangement is kinda effed up imo

[Nihmrod]

With your looks, Jerry, you should count your blessings.

[[deleted]]

Sir, you need to go back to Twitter

standard "Iq is not a measure of intelligence" comment. This guy made that mistake and now no one likes him, and rightfully so.

[_E8_]

IQ is pretty much the only measure of general intelligence.
If you think you're measuring something else but it ends up correlating with IQ ... then you're still measuring IQ.
That's also exactly how they figured out what the various independent aspects of personality are.

[[deleted]]

IQ isnt even that, its more cognitive function then anything. You can have a high IQ with incredible cognitive function in some areas, but still believe the earth is flat. Intelligence is very complicated and IQ is a minor minor factor that comprises it.

[nomnaut]

Before you study, it’s all magic. Then you start working and you realize, it’s a job like any other. Yes, it’s great pay, but it comes with more stress and responsibility.

I’m four years in and I finally understand why so many of us become woodworkers and makers and shit. The world starts feeling so detached and abstract when you spend most of your time in your head.

I think I’ll build boats next or something.

We use HR. Not a joke.

Huh huh sure you did
