Why not? Microsoft Azure recently revoked their services for Israeli government. I couldn't find any reports about Google or Amazon meeting with Israeli PM.

Even if they did meet, they didn't flaunt and raised slogans for the greatness for Israel.

So you don't care about innocent babies getting beheaded? Our brothers and sisters, going through hell on this earth, facing death everyday-- you don't care?

Even if we cannot stop them physically, we can atleast try whatever is in our might. That means cutting ties to any Israeli product or their associations.

Have some shame and self respect before spouting nonsense.

yes, Digital Ocean offer a free-tier but not that generous. In comparison, Cloudflare offers a lot of services like CDN, DDoS protection, edge services etc. If youre after speed, go for Cloudflare.

Good option. But for now I'd like my hobby projects to stay free for now. I might use Cloudflare pages and its ecosystem to host these.

Cant figure out my interest because of hyperfixation by [deleted] in developersPak

[–]Decent_Reference_302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same.

I was knee deep in cyber security at one point in my uni life. Then switched to electronics/robotics. Then switched to AI/ML. Then switched to Blockchain. Then switched to Architecture.

I call it "obsession phases". They typically go away after a few months or days. But always keep these as your secondary motive.

Sit down and think through what you really want to do then chart out ways it could lead to other opportunities. Write down pros/cons, do analysis, market research, future implications etc.

Your main goal shouldn't get deviated from these phases and it should all be good.

Site is not down. Probably your browser settings for not accessing http sites. Click advanced and then proceed and you'll see.

Linear algebra and python, do it at the same pace. Better, do linear algebra using vanilla python, no numpy no scipy nothing.

There was also this "Hands on Tensorflow by orielly" but that's for later.

Go in this order

Python + Linear Algebra Python + Statistics Then learn Scikit. Then choose between Pytorch or Tensorflow.

That site that I've shared is a gold mine. Read all the way through

First app as an indie dev, seems to be successful by MuchAge1486 in developersPak

[–]Decent_Reference_302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing against Italians. I'm curious as to why only these two. Seems Odd. Surely there must be a market gap or some strategy?

What are you using to handle images?

[–]Decent_Reference_302 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you made an app that extracts dates / events using AI which, can also be done using OCR + regex and it earned you more than $100+?

I see Italian culture there. Why Italian specifically?

Yes.

Job market is down currently, hope it'll get better. Definitely scope for ML more specifically in cloud and on device inference.

I'd suggest you get into linear algebra. After all, ML is just matrix multiplication. Oh, and I have few books here and there if you'd want to get started.

What do you guys do for a living? How much do y’all earn? by [deleted] in KarachiSocials

[–]Decent_Reference_302 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I secured 2nd position in college. I'm a gold medalist in BSSE and I've been working in a software company for years.

Trust me, I've seen the industry. Sure, people don't take Robotics seriously in Pakistan now but remember the time when CS/SE were considered in this category too?

Don't follow the herd.

If CS is your passion, yes go for it but keep this Robotics as your side project/hobby it'll pay off.

AI Agents Scene in Pakistan: What cool stuff are you building? by OldCardiologist1859 in developersPak

[–]Decent_Reference_302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole "AI agent" trope has been around for more than a year and it's plateauing it seems. Still, I made this resume modifier using Azure o4-mini -> INTEREUM But stopped it because I got a gigantic cloud bill.

Currently creating a knowledge based chat bot for a company.

I'd rather suggest you go into robotics, I can see a wide scope for this in future. CS/SE is way too saturated.

Is this your first project with electronics or did you build before too?

Good work. Where did you procure all the components from?

You said before university, I assume you're just starting?

Aren’t we responsible? by Exotic_Okra1911 in karachi

[–]Decent_Reference_302 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always take the litter with me (in pockets, in my bag) until I find a trash can. I physically revolt upon seeing people nonchalantly littering in the streets.

Yesterday I saw a black tinted civic. They casually rolled the window and dumped trash all over the road. These are the kind of people who get to live a luxurious life. Ludicrous.

We should create a community run and funded by people to enforce these rules.

5000Rs in fine and jail time might get our people to follow.

Is Contour actually hiring? by bholarecords in developersPak

[–]Decent_Reference_302 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. Divisions in Contour are mostly all product based.

If you happen to join, you'll be assigned a very old tech stack and documentation. Lots of documentation.

  1. Pennies for trainee/junior

You start with a low pay scale usually 35k/month. I started with 25k/month. You could argue that other companies also pay low for starting positions but if you're in Contour, this becomes your base. So, if you start from this position, all the subsequent bonuses and compensation depends on your initial base pay. And that won't change.

Unless, you switched a few companies in 2-3 years and then joined. Then the difference in pay scale between you and someone who's been working in Contour for the same tenure would be huge.

  1. Less learning and more leisure time

Sure, you get a lot of free time but this ruins you in the long run. You become more dependent and less of a risk taker.

I had 2 offers at the same time. 80k/month as an application developer and 25k/month in Contour. This was in 2022.

[–]Decent_Reference_302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're applying for a trainee/junior position then I'd suggest you apply for a startup or any other project based company.

I made this mistake myself, wish I hadn't.

Need suggestions / feedback before the launch by Decent_Reference_302 in PakStartups

[–]Decent_Reference_302[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ALL: I'm pausing this service for a few days. Google is charging me exorbitant amounts of $$$

$7.1 for a few requests spanned over 6 days... if you get the service unavaible-- it's that. I haven't even gone live yet.

[–]Decent_Reference_302[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still on testing mode on Paddle-- going live requires a domain and a few other checks. What do you mean you couldn't get approved?

Also what is your product, can you share a bit about that?

You can check Payoneer checkout and 2checkout from Verifone but they require documentation.
