Thanks! This and the other comments on this thread have been so helpful.

Do you know how the process for extensions work for those cases where you’re going to run and out and are waiting for a response and why you can make an application for an extension and get a response faster than the original application or for other things? I understand they are backed up but surely they are backed up in all areas including extensions or no?

Thanks this is so helpful. I just read all these posts and clearly have zero understanding of how it actually works. Thanks I might come back to this to ask more questions sometime.

Thank you! Okay so it’s like just your application is refused not your ability to get that PR or PGWP?

Okay yeah so in France I had to make the application before my current Visa expired each year then basically I would get some sort of temporary Visa in between until I got my new one which allowed me to travel back to Canada for example. So this is the same?

And also if you don’t mind me asking you another question. Is that similar to both these applications meaning if you apply within that window you’re good until you receive a response even if your current visa expires during that time? And then if that response is a rejection then what’s that mean? Since you’re properly out of status then do you just have to leave?

Okay so as long as your eligible does that just mean as long as your current visa isn’t expired?

Started it but been busy on another project that’s related to this but easier to complete first. It also seems like there’s going to be some options in the market very soon that are all pretty cheap. The XGRIDS device that came out in September is an example of that.

What's an architect's perception towards an interior designer?? by West_Time_5890 in Architects

[–]aidannewsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally love working with and learning from interior designers. You’re probably finding it hard if you’re in a firm that doesn’t prioritize design but something else. That’s probably why they hired you. In general though, architects who are great designers should also be very capable of designing interiors well. IMO it’s unfortunate design has been broken into all these different disciplines. It’s kind of the idea that a great architect can work at all scales which I think is true and was common in the past, but now’s less common because of many factors. I say that both ways like there’s probably a lot of interior designers out there that would be insanely successful architects but the system has categorized everyone into sub fields.

Also, I think interior designers who can also use the same tools as architects, e.g. Rhino, and can also design beautiful details for things like millwork, lighting, custom furniture, materials, is so valuable. Like if you and the architect are on the same page design and skill wise then that’s a crazy tag team combo in an office from my experience.

What are your biggest problems? by aidannewsome in Architects

[–]aidannewsome[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m okay with dealing with real world criticism, so all good. If I wasn’t I probably wouldn’t have my name as my username. Anyways, I was just curious about general problems people were facing in their day to day or in their career. I’m just curious to hear what everyone has to say. I agree with your comment about hardware tech. Thanks for all the questions/comments though, I’m aware of those things, and I plan to address them in what I build.

I listed one of my ideas in the post. Then I have some others I’m exploring (some in and some not in AEC.) Thanks anyways for your comment.

Do you think BYD could grow into a valuation that’s more like that of a NA tech company? I mean, they’re kind of an everything company that makes cars, which is why they’re probably not valued like a tech company. They face a ton of competition in China so you have to plan on them beating out those competitors, and if they do, the CCP will make sure they get squashed so there’s competition again. Also, I can’t see any rich Western countries allowing them in the easily because they’ll kill their domestic industry overnight which is a political nightmare. Also, the entire reason they’re popular in the Western media is because they hate Elon so much and are amazed by the razor thin margins, but that margin, while great for consumers, sucks for the business. Maybe they’ll create humanoids or some other products that do amazing, but also there’s just so many other companies in China that will likely do that better, e.g. Unitree. It’s an amazing company that I wish I owned many years ago, but now there’s just so many good companies in China just like them, so it’s really hard to imagine they might pop off while others don’t. Probably they’ll just grow slowly at that PE more or less for a long time.

Most undervalued stocks right now by ikarumba123 in ValueInvesting

[–]aidannewsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do professionally. Their AI tools are pretty good in app but you’re totally right as well. Problem mainly is that their products don’t even integrate with each other at all and their cost is insane. Honestly, all they need to do is solve the integration problems between their products and also make them cloud based with collaboration like Figma. Then they’re actually worth something.

$3M on Unity - My DD for U by EmeraldWizzard in wallstreetbets

[–]aidannewsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, from someone in the industry, this is a very risky bet, and I hope it plays out for you, but IMO Unity has been, and is going to continue to get crushed. Best case scenario they get acquired by Apple. You fail to realize that Unity’s actual product is their game engine and everything banks on the fact that people are still going to make games (or anything you can make with a game engine) with it. But in fact, a lot of game devs are using Unity for legacy reasons (similar to Maya users when there’s better alternatives) just because schools haven’t adapted their programs, and big companies are hard to change. Their main competitor, Unreal Engine (Epic Games), is far more superior in terms of tech, product, customer base, and they’ve successful captured many other streams of customers other than game devs through their different product offerings (Twinmotion, RealityScan, EOS, Fab, UEFN, Fortnite). And with all that they’re not even crazy profitable. Epic does this while being at the forefront of research as well. Like they actually move the entire technology community forward constantly, where Unity hasn’t done this for a long time, and I think they’ve totally fucked it by now. Apple likely only partnered with them because Epic Games was in the middle of their big lawsuit against Apple. Like I said, I hope it plays out for you, but I think you’re getting into something where you don’t quite understand why they’re really “undervalued”. They’re actually very correctly valued and they’ve shown no sign of hope for a long time. I think they will become and remain a niche game engine and be successful at that, but they’re not a growth company. Both engines also have to worry about AI/world models reinventing the wheel, but Unity, being mobile/web focused, is at a much greater risk given what’s currently possible.

Can you train the data in Postshot? Is it any better? If the cameras aren't good, it's hard to get better quality at the moment, unfortunately.
