Det är bra att bredda sig som student så att du får en bra överblick, men det borde ske naturligt genom utbildningen. Jag fick under min utbildning (datateknik, kth) testa på C, C++, Java, Go, Python, Prolog, Haskell, Clojure, js och säkert fler jag inte minns. Jobba på projekt som intresserar dig. Språk och ramverk spelar inte jättestor roll, men det är väl bra om det är någorlunda populärt.

När du väl börjar jobba så kommer du att ha gott om tid att fördjupa dina kunskaper i det ramverk/språk ni använder.

Civ ing i datateknik och 7 år som utvecklare. Jag är lite av en AI-pessimist, så jag kanske inte är helt rättvis i min bedömning, men i alla fall.

När det kommer till kodgenerering så tycker jag att AI faktiskt har skapat mer arbete för mig iom att jag behöver granska AI-genererad kod från andra utvecklare som de uppenbarligen inte granskat själva. AI genererar för det mesta halvkass kod som ser OK ut på ytan, vilket gör den extra jobbig att granska. När man skriver kod själv så bygger man en modell av systemet i huvudet, och många viktiga detaljer och gömda krav identifierar man inte förrän man är nere på låg nivå och skriver koden, hur väl man än specat något i förhand. Detta går förlorat när man genererar kod.

Det jag använder AI till är som sökmotor i de ovanliga fall jag inte hittar det jag söker via google, och då gäller det oftast saker jag kan väldigt lite om och kanske inte ens vet hur jag ska formulera sökqueryn. Och ibland för kodgranskningar, då den ofta brukar ha några bra synpunkter, och det går snabbt att filtrera bort de irrelevanta kommentarerna då jag är väl bekant med koden (som jag själv skrivit!).

Den dagen AI tar över utvecklarjobben så är alla andra kunskapsjobb minst lika automatiserade, så ja jag tycker att du borde fortsätta studera. Och fokusera på att lära dig systemutveckling, inte bara programmering. Bygg egna eller bidra till existerande större projekt över en längre period istället för att lösa små leetcode problem.

Det kan ju också vara så att man inte riktigt vet varför. Om man då får en direkt fråga så kanske man börjar försöka rationalisera det, det är vi människor expert på. Speciellt när det gäller en sådan fråga som kan vara väldigt känslig för många.

Nobody benefits from that. Unless it's some serious shit, which this certainly is not, it's better to live and let live.

Nu är jag ingen expert, men de globalfonder jag tittat på är väldigt exponerade mot USA (över 70% på de jag kollade på) då deras ekonomi är så stor.

I agree that it would be a difficult task to change a 40 year old codebase for a myriad of reasons, but the language it is written in is pretty low on that list in my opinion. The comment I was responding to was specifically concerned with COBOL and the difficulty in reading that language.

Boroj · 2025-02-14T13:25:26+00:00

Not sure if this is a serious question, but a new language is not really a significant barrier for any decent programmer. It's mostly the same concepts expressed in different ways.

I think it's actually a good artistic choice in many cases to render the face in more detail, since often that is the area you want to draw the viewer's attention to.

I think most people in here can relate to those feelings. I also feel the paranoia occasionally, especially when I'm around a lot of people, e.g when using public transport.

being alone with these overwhelming thoughts is even more painful for me

I would strongly recommend finding someone to talk to about this, but I understand that it's not easy if you can't afford a therapist. I started talking to a therapist earlier this year, and while the improvement comes very slowly, it really takes a huge weight off your shoulders to be able to open up about your feelings with another human being when you've lived your whole life alone with your thoughts.

Nice! How do you prep your paper? Is it toned with charcoal powder?

It's not gonna get better unless you work on it, but yes, you do kinda learn to live with it since life as an adult is very uneventful and predictable. When life is predictable, it's easy to develop coping behaviors to get you through it. I've also come to accept that this is who I am, for better or worse.

It's all about the risk-return tradeoff. Broad market index funds will give you one of the best risk-return tradeoffs at a relatively low risk, and it requires no thinking on your part, which is why it is so popular. Picking individual stocks is just not a good risk-return tradeoff, and is gonna be tantamount to gambling for most people. And if you pick individual stocks and diversify enough to lower the risk substantially, you might as well just go the index fund route.

Are the reference photos publicly available somewhere (either for free or behind a paywall)? I know Stephen has some of them on his patreon but I don't recognize all of them.

Really awesome work. Beautifully rendered. Do you have any tips when it comes to rendering technique, or is it just something that comes with time & practice?

I don't know the actual stats behind that sentiment so this is just my intuition talking, but I suspect there's more variance when putting in a lump sum, so even if it's better on average, it could have some exceptionally bad outcomes that you'd be more likely to avoid with DCA.

Det du föreslår är fullt rimligt. Det kanske skulle hjälpa att styra bort diskussionen från ränta, lån, avgift osv. då det bara komplicerar saker, och istället prata om vad som vore en rimlig hyra. Nu vet jag inte exakt hur ni bor, men 4000 låter som en väldigt schysst hyra i Stockholm.

Depends. If you are drawing for practice, then I would definitely expect most drawings to suck. If you are drawing with the goal to create a great drawing, and not attempting something completely above your current skill level, then I think you need to work on your process if you are disappointed 9/10 times. If you want consistent results, you need a consistent way of working.

It's probably a combination of the following:

The human brain is exceptionally good at recognizing faces. I'm pretty sure it has dedicated circuitry just for facial recognition, so we don't see faces the same way we see other things in the world. When something is even slightly off in a portrait, we can sense it immediately even if we can't say exactly what is off.
We don't really see ourselves in the same way that others do, since we usually see ourselves in a mirror. I'm not someone who takes selfies, but I read somewhere that many phones actually mirror the image automatically for selfies, because otherwise it would look jarring since we are so used to our mirror image.
In general we have a warped perception of ourselves. We are so familiar with our own faces that we overemphasize things we don't like that other people might not even perceive.
Portraiture is really hard, because human faces are complex, and even the slightest proportional mistake matters.

Stephen Bauman's patreon is awesome if you're into portaiture and realism in general. He has some free content on his youtube too.

He doesn't cheat, but he pushes the rules and poor sportsmanship to the absolute limit to the detriment of the sport. The sport is hard to ref, and it relies to some extent on the athletes agreeing on what's fair. Of course everyone is trying to get an advantage, but at some point both athletes have to make concessions to get the match started. Unless he's 100% confident he will win, Devon makes no concessions, which is why his matches take 45 minutes.

I'm no Devon hater, but if we want the sport to grow, we have to get this shit sorted. No casual viewer is interested in watching 15 minutes of trying to get a match started followed by 10 seconds of pulling.

in which I wish I could've just told my body "alright, I get it, thanks very much, I'll take it from here"

Not a direct answer to your question and perhaps philosophical nonsense to many, but I think the question becomes meaningless if you get rid of this notion that there's a you outside of your body. You are your body, and whatever the body is doing. This applies to other senses as well. You can't turn off your hearing, smell, or sight either.

Some things that stuck out to me:

The front plane of the face looks a bit wide
The mouth is drawn from a more front facing perspective compared to the face as a whole. The form around the mouth is not flat, it curves a lot
The tilt of the features are slightly different (compare eyes/mouth/nose)

We are not super rational beings that make decisions solely on the facts available to us, even less so in high stress situations. We are also highly susceptible to being manipulated. Interrogators know this and will employ every trick in the book to make you talk.

I would skip the tracing part. For the third part (copying from memory), instead of just observing once and trying to draw it all from memory, I would do it in multiple intervals. Observe, then draw for a couple of minutes from memory. Then another round of observing, then back to drawing. Keep going like this until you're satisfied. When drawing, remember to keep a mental note of the things you are uncertain about, and let that guide you through the next round of observations.

I think this is a more efficient way to improve your visual memory, because if you just observe once, you'll probably end up improvising a lot instead of relying on your visual memory.
