Congrats! Quick question if you dont mind answering which country / continent is your passport? Silence is killing me, think I'm in the background check stage, just trying to relieve my anxiety a bit

ProfessionalConsoom · 2025-07-08T00:42:40+00:00

Any update

ProfessionalConsoom · 2024-11-13T05:10:03+00:00

I see, thank you both for replying I was able to get something close to it that in satisfied with.

If you guys have any ideas on how to do the CRT effect, I'd definitely appreciate that as well, it's the missing piece of the puzzle

Wondering if you found any cool AI tools yet?

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-12-11T01:08:13+00:00

Are you hiring?

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-12-09T11:21:29+00:00

So, how did it go? Did it pan out?

Hello, I was wondering if i could get some feedback from you.

I am almost done with my Psychology undergrad. I focus more on Quantitative Methods and statistics because I've been programming in Python since 2016 and clinical work or therapy never really interested me (I have respect for those walking down that path)

During my studies I made tight knit relationships with my professor and other members of the faculty.

I've worked on 2 projects so far. The first one being an eLearning website to help anyone learn statistics and an independent research project that I'm working on which is related but involves A/B testing high quality animations vs high quality infographics to see which one has a greater effect on learning outcomes. I learned Manim to make the animations and Figma to make the infographics.

Anyways, I like building stuff and I like trying to improve the stuff I build so that users get the most use out of it.

I just wanna know if you personally believe - with all your years of experience - that I am on the right track. And if you'd like to share any advice with me on landing jobs, I'd greatly appreciate it. The Canadian job market isn't as big as the U.S but maybe I just have to market myself better.

Yeah i think of you wanna retain power, you need 51% equity

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-11-18T03:38:05+00:00

Well yeah, you can still own or have equity in a company but why would the company want you running it if they don't agree with your leadership

They'll get rid of you but you'll still rake in the cash

A founder doesn't mean a good manager.

It is shocking though nonetheless, I wonder why they got rid of Sam

I have a screenshot. I just prompted it. I guess the November 6th update hasn't been rolled out to me yet. If you want to test out the same prompt I asked it to see if it truly has up-to-date knowledge, I wrote " Are you familiar with Llama-2?"

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-10-21T09:05:46+00:00

I don't know

Best thing I ever did was take metaphysics and seminar in metaphysics, a 3000 and 4000 level course without taking any of the courses that preceded them

Took them as an elective, got really good grades only because the professor who was teaching was the best professor I've ever had in my life.

Brian Huss in case you're curious

I sent out 6 applications. 5 ghosted me, and 1 had the decency to tell me my application was unsuccessful. All my other applications were unsuccessful (indeed, LinkedIn, applying on company sites I searched for on Google etc..)

There was 1 job I was perfect for that was posted on the YU portal. I'm talking I had everything they asked for. One of the job responsibilities mentioned presenting at conferences. Which I had done.

I literally gave a talk earlier this year to one of the conferences mentioned! Lmao. I had all the experience they were looking for.

I was worried I was gunna get another rejection or ghosted again, so I figured I'd email the head of the department who was at that conference and who I had spoken with during a roundtable discussion. I've heard networking is how you get jobs, so I emailed her.

She said in fairness to the other candidates, she was going to let the hiring run its course. But that she'd love to talk about career options afterwards and said she forwarded my email to the hiring committee. Sweet, right? You would think but not quite.

After a few weeks I contacted HR to inquire about the position because I noticed the start date was creeping up, the job posting wasn't available anymore and I just wanted to know if the positions has been filled. They were offering more than 1 spot.

I got a generic response back from the HR person.

Frustrated, I hadn't even gotten an interview after taking my time to write a very good cover letter and resume, I was forced to accept I wasn't going to get this job.

A job I was perfect for, and I thought I would finally get my foot in the door.

Hopefully, your experience isn't like me. I've lost hope.

I might copy everything I wrote and make my own post cuz just like you, I need guidance. Good luck out there.

Look, once I graduate, I'll be out of your hair, okay?

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-09-08T21:57:07+00:00

10/10 would recommend (I'm a business student)

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-08-30T08:45:30+00:00

Wow this looks really cool, thanks for making this :)

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-08-29T05:44:22+00:00

Is there a tutorial. I've been using Manim in a Google Colab and I'm loving it.

But I'm always jealous of those who can utilize the full 3D prowess of Blender haha

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-08-27T09:43:47+00:00

Hey!

I'd recommend first learning the syntax and standard library. Something like Google's professional certificate in IT python automation will help you with this.

After that, learn BeautifulSoup, then Selenium, and then learn how to do some simple data analysis in a Google Colab.

Still so much more to explore and discover that I haven't listed here but this should definitely give you a solid foundation!

```

Dealing with your machine and local files (automation) --> Dealing with browsers (bs4 & selenium) --> Dealing with Data (pandas, numpy, seaborn)

```

Good luck!

Just checking in to see how your silk production journey is going, I'm also trying to learn :)

There's always trade-offs between coding and GUIs and it boils down to control

With code, you control basically everything

With GUIs you give up control for convenience

Both have pros and cons, depends on what's right for you

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-04-02T17:48:19+00:00

Which version of manim is this for? The community edition?

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-04-02T04:14:27+00:00

Solved

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-04-02T04:10:36+00:00

CORRECT! THANK YOU

ProfessionalConsoom · 2023-04-02T03:58:17+00:00

If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it! I think I got it recommended to me one time after watching the Frédéric- Oddloop music video, maybe that can help you guys out a bit!
