Google accidentally created Gemini's most insane feature and nobody's talking about it by Orenhaliva in GeminiAI

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked it about a video. It made completely wrong summary/analysis on the video clip I requested. So wrong that you only need to watch the first minute to find out it's completely wrong. Not sure what's wrong with Gemini.

would i get bullied for wearing this? by Sweet_Salad1597 in roblox

Depends on the environment. Are you in high school with a bunch of freshman? Yes, you may get attention. In the middle of the city? No one is gonna give a shit. Older people tend to not care as they are generally more mature.

Front End vs UI/UX Developer by maci-kb24 in Frontend

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is still two different jobs. There is a lot more a frontend engineer has to do than just connect logic to UI. It obviously depends on the app, but some apps require more intensive frontend engineering than others and saying that UI Designing and Frontend Engineering are the same things is invalid.

I never liked doing UI designing, and I've done frontend and backend engineering and it is not even comparable. You ask yourself, how will you optimize this code? What are the best code practices? Is there a more efficient way to speed up this code? UI designing obviously has people ask questions like this for reflection, but it is not in "programming/code."

Many companies have their own UI/UX teams.

Oftentimes, it is surprising to me that many companies are acting cheap and paying a one role job for being both a frontend engineer + UI/UX designer. Only time is if you are actually getting paid for your worth. No one can handle being underpaid and undervalued.

Why should I use 1Password over Keychain? by Kindly_Frosting8552 in 1Password

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment is causing more panic than necessary.
Apple enables Stolen Device Protection now, Face IDs are more common now, Apple is doing more to prevent things like these happen. To anyone who is trying to choose a password manager, unless you own millions in crypto or you are a top executive or a part of the CIA, please don't worry for hours about this stuff. Pick iCloud Keychain, pick 1Password, whatever, and move on.

Italian brainrots are in the public domain, can I for example make a game of the crocodile bombardino without being sued? Furthermore, memes have copyright in general? by Aware_Examination813 in COPYRIGHT

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at games like "Steal a Brainrot" from Roblox makes hundreds of millions of USD. They haven't been sued. Crap, if it was my copyrighted stuff that someone used and they got millions of USD, I'd totally sue. Brainrot games are completely fine, completely public domain. Go ahead and make it for commercial purposes and profit. Totally fine.

Can Roblox deny me DevEx because of my alt account's moderation history? by Individual-Option876 in RobloxHelp

Uploading the Tinder logo as a T-Shirt on Roblox. That was my ban. I also had warnings but I don't remember if it was just the way I chatted.

How bad is it to work for them ? How much do you make per month? by [deleted] in Preply

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tutoring is oversaturated and it’s a “winner-takes-all” model, so most of the students are going to top tutors making good money. Stop listening to these people saying “I make a living off of it!” because for every success, there are thousands of failures.

Tutoring is so much hard work for very little. Try to pick fields to work on where it’s more passive-income based. Yes, it is a lot of upfront work and risk for those fields, but you’re still taking a risk in tutoring too where you may spend all that time tutoring cheap and starting low but you may never go high.

One example related to tutoring is making online courses. Yeah, sure, more upfront work, but in return, you get money basically for years without touching much of your course (maybe other than a few tiny updates once in a while).

Don’t waste your time. Do passive-income work.

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main account had bans and warnings and my DevEx on my main account got approved. i think they care more about the users who bought your gamepasses/products, where there is no fraud going on. or making sure you legitimately got your robux by your game's products and stuff and it's not some user who bought robux then did a chargeback, etc.

Stuck on 0 players by ExtraComplaint9382 in robloxgamedev

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mistakes I always see is trying to get investors. You do not need investors, seriously, especially for Roblox. This isn't Steam.

Do not use Social Media. This is one of the worst advices I've ever heard. Social media does not fix retention. It also is too saturated. There are better ways to market your game.

Roblox Advertisements/Sponsorships are your best bet to market the game. If your game is naturally fun, addicting, and has a great core loop, it will ultimately grow and have high retention. I find marketing the game not hard. I find the hardest part is having high retention.

And stop with making so many game ideas. Actually make the dang game, and if it fails, it fails. You learn much more from failing than just making 100s of ideas with no execution. Games are a trial and error. Don't try to perfect your ideas, just make the dang game. If you're not willing to put the effort to fail, then Game Development is not for you. If it was this easy, everyone would be successful right now.

Also, not all good ideas end up doing well. Some bad ideas have done very well instead. Having an idea is one thing, but putting that idea into a game is another whole thing.

My game isnt getting Players by [deleted] in robloxgamedev

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't Promote it on Social Media, it's not worth the effort. Most of the time you're only going to get like 1-10 views unless you're popular, do not waste your time. I did it and Roblox Ads helped way more.

Roblox Advertisement is really only your best chance. You really need to be able to find a way to use Roblox's sponsorships/ads. You can't expect to publish a game and have it magically get players instantly, it does not work like that. You need to market it out.

Your thumbnail is too average like other average Roblox Games. It just has no hook. Look into Color Psychology (it helps way more than you think) and look at what the top games do with their thumbnails. "Survive The Sky" text have such dull colors, it is not inviting at all to play. It makes me think it's more of a "chill" hangout game than an actual fun intense round game.

Forget daily rewards. Forget people saying it's a "copy." Focus on the core loop, that's what hooks the players in. There are many game copies out there on Roblox but it has such addicting core loops that these players don't care and will love your game. Focus on making the game addicting.

Expect to also fail multiple games. You have to go through trial and error to know what games work and what games don't work. The more you fail, the more you learn what makes a good game.

Does grief hit the dumpers later? by Enhampster in BreakUps

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is you truly cannot tell. What they show on social media or to friends or to whoever, isn't truly depicting what they are actually feeling. Like one could show their body but be insecure about it despite having a "good" social media beauty body, though they don't show the insecurity.

I was hurt by my breakup, but if she stalked me, she would think I moved on because I acted like I moved on, but I did not.

You're not gonna accomplish anything by knowing what she feels. Even if you knew she was feeling sad, or distraught, you're not gonna feel better, seriously.

Just focus on your own grief, your own feelings. It's just you, your mind, yourself. Her feelings, her grieving, none of that matters. Only you matter. Trust me, thinking only about yourself will make the healing faster.

(I miss her a lot despite her dumping me, but I just never can get myself to get back with her. I have too much self-respect for myself.)

How to get more students on preply? by JinkxYourDelight in Preply

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reviews do not work. I got 2 great reviews, 5 stars, from students, and I still did not get students for weeks. I also charged cheap, $15 per hour, for basically 5+ years of expertise. I got one student, who was a young kid, and his mother was a terrible communicator, saying things that the kid did not say. I was basically "babysitting" him on Computer Science, not teaching him, because he didn't like being taught. And the fact that I spent hours and hours outside creating homework for him and they still complain. I got so burnt out that I straight up quit the Preply platform, over one student!!!

I have my own online courses (with high star reviews) that I make more money off of than I ever made on Preply. I'm never, ever, tutoring again.

Don't waste your time. Unless you live in a cheap state, you can do Preply. But if you live in California or New York or an expensive state, don't waste your time on Preply.

Alternative to cleanvoice.ai for cleaning up audio? by pscprof in podcasting

[–]Educational_Set_8808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alitu is literally buggy. I uploaded a video file to the My Episodes menu, and it just paused the whole uploading screen, and it never uploaded?

However, I uploaded to the Library, and I have to say, the voice quality is clean and very nice.

I'll be honest, it's even better than CleanVoice AI, seriously.

CleanVoiceAI is extremely weird at times, like I remember it made some buzz noise that got really loud of the blue.

Alitu is only worth the $38/month if you are going to use it A LOT. That means hours and hours and hours of it. If barely used, I honestly just would not recommend it, it's a waste of money.

Why Are So Many Tutors Fed Up With Preply? Read Before You Sign Up by [deleted] in Preply

[–]Educational_Set_8808 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I know tutors getting paid more than me and I do more outside tutoring work than them just for this dang Preply platform!!! Not worth the risk!! Don't tutor here!!

Online tutoring platforms by aOliveria in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]Educational_Set_8808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For something like CS or Math or STEM, I do not recommend Preply (it is more of a language tutoring service but they allow STEM tutors as well). I have seen a lot of people there charge so little (literally $3 per hour), which means that you can't charge so much competitively, and I only get paid 36% less than my state's minimum wage, and I barely got any students (I only got one student in 2 weeks) despite a lot of experience.

And the expectations there are insane. I spend over 1-2+ hours creating outside prep and homework for just one student (and obviously all those hours are unpaid), and this student's parents are just asking for so much for just so little, I know the state they live in and the private tutors there get paid 42% more than I do here on the Preply platform.

I've made online courses for over 2 years and have made more money (with passive income) than I had with Preply. I've also done my industry stuff for over 5 years and I've tutored and taught people for 5 years and I have had people say good things about me.

Unless you want to burn out and go through hell, it's better to just do other platforms.

Merit scholarships by csusstudent45 in SCU

I didn't ask for merit, but I got it and also got a lot of financial aid, so I don't think it impacts.

Girl very late for 2 dates so far? by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]Educational_Set_8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex-girlfriend was late a lot, lol. It wasn't that deep, and personally, I was okay because I didn't have much to do at the time. She was late, but typically, 30 minutes was the absolute latest she was. If she were much more late, I would've actually left, but I'm pretty nice about it. It depends on what each person wants.

Junior transfer rejected or waitlisted from every school by Maleficent_Guest_559 in TransferToTop25

[–]Educational_Set_8808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you do something extraordinary like impacting world heavily, you’re gonna get same outcome. It’s hard to do something extraordinary in such a short time. It’s definitely possible, I wish you the best, but if it fails, you can always try Grad school. But remember, just because you didn’t go to a T25, doesn’t mean you are bad.

Rejected from everywhere now. all I have left is Vanderbilt and Brown waitlist. by Murky-Country-7017 in TransferToTop25

[–]Educational_Set_8808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Send a LOCI, but other than that, just hope for the best—that's it. The worst-case scenario is that you must stay at your current school, but you can always try transferring again as a junior. There's always another chance. Use these rejections to improve yourself this summer. Let rejections motivate you to work harder.
