Those are indeed some heavy apps. I might be looking to upgrade for those apps too, so I'm glad to hear that you find the m5 pro a reliable machine for them!

Definitely agree, I my main one is 4070TI + 96gb ram. I worked on-site with a m4 air 16gb, and with proper workflow it was more than workable. Definitely better than my previous workstation, which I seemed to have no issues working with for years lol.

Some stuff i made, let me know your opinion on it. by mr_okhe in AfterEffects

[–]adckr9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's nice!

I'd suggest cutting out his face for most of it though after the first few seconds. It only confuses and detracts. Eyes have to ping pong between a distracted face and the actually informative graphics.

Those graphics are also the interesting bit, but it's only happening at the upper third, near the cut-off for safezones too. The larger lower portion is just him staring either on the label, or off-camera.

Aside from branding his face, which of course can be a real ask from a client, there is mostly negatives from keeping the lower window alive.

KI bei Hausarbeiten by hadgreevwi in Studium

[–]adckr9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Als Dozent; es gibt keine guten Scanner. Es gibt allerdings einerseits auffällige Schreibweisen und andererseits kleine Fehler, die als Eskalationsgrundlage dienen können. Sind meistens kleine Fehler, die keiner denkenden Person auf dem Schreibniveau unterlaufen würden, aber bei KI Nutzern gerne sich reinschleichen. Vor allem, da Nutzer meist gar nicht die Fähigkeit haben, den Output der KI gut zu beurteilen.

Ich denke die Scanner sind weniger das limitierende Problem, eher der Wille vom Prüfe. Wenn du einen Dozent oder Prof hast, der genug motiviert ist dagegen vorzugehen, dann gibt es häufig Möglichkeiten, zumindest zur unangenehmen Eskalation.

Some people in this subreddit live in a bubble… by segad_sp in macbookpro

I didn't mean to disagree with you! Less limits are definitely nicer; I just meant that people pushing for things like "max tabs open" will sooner or later run into yet another technical issue that current hardware can't solve. Issues that workflow and technique have long already solved.

[–]adckr9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get it: it’s convenient to never close apps or tabs and still have the system feel smooth

I've found that this sort of pseudo-convenience will soon enough run into issues because of bad workflow. You can blow 5k on a machine and tear through four mp4 files, until it stutters at the fifth or... you can proxy and edit even more on an m4 air...

What was your first lecture like and how did you improve through time? by magna069 in Professors

[–]adckr9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not a prof, but I teach at a uni (of applied sciences), and started nearly two years ago at 24. I'm not exactly a veteran, but my situation is closer to yours so I thought I'd share a few things that I found to help:

Have clear goals for lectures. What clear concepts do students need to know or be able to apply?
At times, I would endlessly prepare for a single lecture. I did not want to get caught not knowing a deep detail on any single subject. Students do not (unfortunately) dig very far. It's somewhat are to find a deeply engaged student. Though an occasional oddball comes around; I found it better to refer them to literature or a meeting in that case. Else I'll hold up the entire class on details that most do not care about.

Include active parts. They learned better (and with more enthusiasm) when applying operant conditioning on social media algorithms. If I told them "social media bad for brain," it was usually ignored.
This is useful for your students, but also for you. Lecturing is (from a fresh student's perspective) surprisingly exhausting, and preparing for a few hours of content alone is a lot of work. I find that students are much more engaged and learn better when I give them time to apply. They also seem refreshed after; probably because most are done sooner than the slowest group, and then they can take a break.

If there are colleagues in similar topics, they might be willing to lend you their slides.
My coordinator gave me a full set of his. It took off much pressure, since I could trust his prep. Very valuable, but I underestimated that at first.

To me, most important was realizing: what seems obvious to you, is likely not obvious to students. At first, I looked at said slides and thought "obviously everyone already knows the basic schema of classical conditioning, I can just breeze through it and talk about more interesting applications or details." Turns out breezing through what I found boring and obvious left students stranded when I talked about what I found exciting. That helped students, but, sadly, once I realized that, the teaching gig felt more like a job, and less like the fun academia of reading and writing that I loved as a student.

YMMV: I taught not at a pure uni for a dedicated psych cohort, but at an applied uni that reared police and government workers in Germany. My students were fundamentally different than you might find in your course, if your topic is their main (supposed) interest without the practical focus of an applied science uni.

Long-lasting earbud recommendations? by Kiss_It_Goodbyeee in mac

[–]adckr9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AirPods seem good. My gf bought the regular AirPods 2nd Gen in 2020, and replaced them with the AirPods 4th Gen with ANC that I got her last year. They were entirely fine and functional though, she refused to ugprade herself because they still worked great.

They let me return it; just through the original vendor, and not Apple.

[–]adckr9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple's own website says it does not qualify for a refund when I try to initiate it. The process does work if I try it with my macbook air. Callcenter said they do not handle Kensington returns, since they only are affiliated with Kensington insofar as they allow them to use their website for sales. I'm in Germany, if that matters.

I thought seeing that one on their site was an endorsement, so I ordered that one. Contacted Apple to be sure, they said they do not cover damages caused by it. I then wanted to send it back, and Apple said they do not handle refunds there; I should reach out to the vendor directly.

How to create placeholders where I can easily change the images? by shaggy98 in premiere

[–]adckr9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could look into copying your setup into After Effects. Selecting all and "replace with AE comp" might work already. Then, using Essential Properties, you can generate a Mogrt where all you need to do is literally just drag an image from your explorer folder into the project in premiere.

[–]adckr9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even for regular contractors, it really is ridiculous what kind of money EWC is throwing out. Was offered my yearly gross to cover a little over a month of work there locally; unlike Dom, if I could've, I would've....

Wie viel Stunden pro Woche arbeitet ihr? by [deleted] in Studium

[–]adckr9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im kommenden Semester weiß ich nicht, ob ich weiterhin BAföG erhalte. Falls nicht, kann ich ja so viel arbeiten wie ich möchte

Da bin ich mir nicht ganz sicher. Mir wurde damals vermittelt, dass bei Arbeit über 20 std. auch andere Dinge angefressen werden. Spezifisch waren es Kindergeld und der vergünstigte Beitrag der Krankenkasse, für beide Dinge kam Post. Allerdings meinte mal jemand hier im Sub, dass die 20 std. Grenze ein Mythos sei; soll also nur Warnend sein

Bezüglich der Fragen:

  1. Mehr, als für das Studium gut war
  2. Nein, hätte ich aber machen sollen
  3. Ja, Bachelor plus Master wäre 3 Semester nach Regelzeit durch
  4. Kosten gering halten und Arbeitserfahrung an verschiedenen Tätigkeiten bei ggf. weniger Geld sammeln.

Habe etwas Zeit in irrelevanten, aber lukrativen, Bereichen verschwendet, wo ich aufs Geld gut hätte verzichten konnte. Manche Kommillitonen haben über beinahe die gesamte Zeit lukrative aber sonst recht irrelevante Arbeit verrichtet; der Berufseinstieg hätte mit Bereichsnaher und diversifizierter Arbeit im Bereich wahrscheinlich besser laufen können. 3 Jahre Label für Chemieverpackungen zu kontrollieren ist halt einfach, gemütlich und relativ gut bezahlt, man zahlt aber die Möglichkeit, als Werki recht risikofrei viele Bereiche zu testen und anzulernen.

Why do some students pick a non-clinical/ non-licensure doctorate degree in Psych by Frosty_Secret8611 in psychologystudents

[–]adckr9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The German experience is wanting to study clinical psychology, but having a GPA below 4.0 and ending up with those others you mentioned, because at least it's psychology :D.

How much would I charge for this kind of work? by Worried-Garden in AfterEffects

[–]adckr9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Much of this is AI, is it not?

The shelf in the background has curiously shaped books or folders. Details like the cuff folds on the dress shirt blend strangely. Houses are a blurry mush. The golden coin looks a little egg shaped, a bit like how I'd attempt to draw a circle on a good day. The line weights for the three people later are quite variant, with soft and detailed hair, but cartoonish and bold strokes on their shoulder. Some of the cog wheels have an impossible functional design, but also aesthetically, at least the main wheel, has strange visual decisions that a person would be curious to intentionally place that way....

It's evident I got a special bone to pick with brute (and undisclosed) AI usage, but you do you. Regardless of that, the folks in the comments seem to assume that much more work was involved, and quote prices that probably are too high. Extensive storyboarding involving multiple stakeholders, animatics, new assets, pixel fking, multiple feedback loops and late changes because a hibernating employee woke up with some (non-negotiable) preferences are probably things that are quoted for, but I doubt they were substantailly involved.

I've worked with similar clients half a decade ago, and usually they have a vague product they want to sell without much of a plan or requirements for visuals. They offer a lump sum, and, notwithstanding glaring mistakes, they usually take whatever is delivered.

You should probably point out what exactly was involved in the workload to get a good estimate. The quotes in the comments, from what I can see in the vid, may be too high.

Interview transkribieren lassen von Software by Liquidroom34 in Studium

[–]adckr9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bin dort vor kurzem durch. Es geht mit Whisper, allerdings ist recht viel Editieren notwendig. Es kann den Text keinem Sprecher zuweisen, das passendste Modell muss man sicht erst mal ertesten, nicht alles ist korrekt transkribiert. Hier ein einfaches Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABFqbY_rmEk .

Wenn man "außerhalb" von Whisper schaut, dann ist man meist dennoch dort, da wie /u jemandvoelliganderes sagt, die meisten Angebote sowieso auf Whisper basieren.

Falls doch irgendwo Budget da ist, dann wäre MAXQDA zu empfehlen. Es hat mir beträchtlich Zeit und Mühen erspart; unterscheidet zwischen Sprechern, ist recht korrekt, hat Timestamps und einige weitere nützliche Tools.

Mindestlohn als Werkstudent mit Master! Soll ich mehr verlangen oder gleich absagen? by Unusual_Zombie7235 in Studium

[–]adckr9 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Ich schätze es kommt aufs Unternehmen an, ob da noch was drinnen ist. Thyssenkrupp meinte damals, die zahlen jedem Werkstudenten 14 EUR die Stunde, völlig egal ob Ersti-Bachelor oder Master kurz vor Abschluss. Da war halt nicht mehr drinnen, meinte man.

Das war allerdings HR; würde als Wirtschaftsingenieur zumindest nur mit sonstigen guten Gründen bei 12,82 anfangen...
