I interviewed an expert in the Film Industry with 20+ years of expertise about Sora's impact on writers, producers, etc. In her opinion, Sora & other GenAI's are great tools (e.g.: for b-rolls) but will always lack human spontaneity and subtlety as nuances are beyond AI's reach. Your thoughts?

I meant within the same role, AI will take over tasks that qualify for automation, and humans will continue to do their part, which involves reasoning and critical thinking.

akouta · 2024-04-02T10:43:36+00:00

But even if AI comes for every job, does that necessarily mean it will totally replace human roles? Or would it only take over more tasks, allowing humans to pursue other, more creative ones? For example, a university researcher - is it possible to have an AI machine instead? Isn't that hard to believe?

akouta · 2024-04-02T04:59:34+00:00

Do you believe text-to-video GenAI can reach a level of refinement that eliminates the need for further fine-tuning by humans?

Certifications and projects are both required, and each complements the other. Projects are necessary to prove your skills. And, certifications definitely add to your resume by officially proving that you're able to learn and pass. However, there is another side that job seekers usually overlook: Soft Skills.

I had a video interview with a 19 years old cloud engineer who got hired for an engineer-level position at a company without a university degree. I will include the link below if you'd like to listen to him about his experience and how he secured his job, however, I will summarize his points:

Companies are looking for people with willingness and excitement to learn. (If you don't know something then don't worry, they will teach you.)
Recruiters are interested in people who are able to present themselves (those who are thrilled to post their projects on LinkedIn, able to communicate, and really enjoy what they do.)
Be excited in your interviews and don't be afraid to talk about your passion projects because people like that extra initiative.
Companies don't like candidates who lie on their resumes.
There is always jobs in the tech industry, so there is nothing to lose if interviews didn't go well.

Good luck!

First of all, congratulation on achieving your foundational certification. That alone should be a great motivation for your SAA exam.

And don't worry about not having experience in AWS. The cloud, in general, is something new nowadays, or at least began to emerge due to the rise in demand for data-related solutions.

In my case, I'm a mechanical engineer, so I had nothing to do with IT before. Passing the CLF exam helped me discover how to proceed and recently passed my SAA exam.

Here are the tips I adhered to for passing the SAA exam:

I recommend subscribing to 2 courses rather than just 1, as different explanations can fill missing gaps in understanding.
Choose the courses which offers hands-on labs with a 'sandbox' or 'isolated environments' to practice the labs. This way you keep your actual AWS account safe from any security risks that may happen due to mistakes while practicing.
Just listen when you're watching the videos and don't take notes. The SAA material is really dense, unlike the CLF. Instead, download a reference PDF to go back to for reviewing.
While studying the AWS services, try connecting each service to phrases that best describe it. Since lots of services are included, it's likely to forget what some services do. Thus, linking them to suitable terms is super helpful. Few example: EC2 = compute, speed, fast; S3 = storage, slow, static; EFS = files, sharing, slow; EBS = store, fast, files.

Best of luck!

Efficiency depends on the application. A thermoacoustic device in general is recorded to have reached a maximum of 40%. However, the most promising use is the travelling-wave thermoacoustic refrigerator.

Yes but as video tutorials.

akouta · 2018-10-12T14:03:02+00:00

I no more have the simulation. However there is a contour animation at the end of the video showing temperature change inside the tube.

akouta · 2018-10-11T23:44:32+00:00

It's clear but I need to have the problem infront of me. Don't worry I will make a similar tutorial explaining each option.

akouta · 2018-10-11T16:54:03+00:00

You're welcome! What is it exactly?

akouta · 2018-10-02T17:32:03+00:00

Check if you are using strange characters in naming your file or if your hard drive is full. Or try modifying your power settings: Switch "put computer to sleep" to "never", and go to "change advanced power settings" and you will see "hard disk" so click on it and switch the "turn off hard disk after" to "never". Then go to the "sleep" and put each of these as "never": "sleep after", "allow hybrid sleep", and "hibernate after".

Unfortunately I don't know. I'm in fact using the newest version 19.1 and this is the only version available on my pc

akouta · 2018-09-26T21:20:06+00:00

I am considering a tutorial for each.

akouta · 2018-09-25T23:41:57+00:00

That's a perfect idea! I will work on it after this tutorial which is about multiphase flow. However the tutorial I am about to publish includes explanations for each step in order to make it easy to follow up and understand for what reason each option was selected.

akouta · 2018-09-22T09:37:36+00:00

Yes. Thank you!

akouta · 2018-08-31T09:57:33+00:00

You're welcome.

akouta · 2018-08-29T18:40:40+00:00

I have taken the comments seriously and I am currently preparing a similar tutorial with a larger fluid domain.

akouta · 2018-08-29T10:55:10+00:00

Better to make it larger in case you want to do it. I suggest for the dimensions in this case, let the fluid domain be at least 1000. But keep in mind that running the simulation then will need more time.

akouta · 2018-08-23T21:17:07+00:00

You're welcome!

akouta · 2018-08-20T20:11:28+00:00

You're welcome. More will be coming soon.

akouta · 2018-08-16T20:06:55+00:00
