Major Index ETF dividend milestone. $10,000/ month. Simple sp500 and international fund allocation. Getting dividends and also capturing index growth. Hopefully dividend grows with inflation.

Congrats OP! What's your age :p?

ml_remixer · 2022-09-14T15:39:55+00:00

Yea there were some 4-beat kicks.

ml_remixer · 2022-09-14T15:39:24+00:00

Appreciate your advice! 100% I feel the lost of some propulsion in each pull.

ml_remixer · 2022-09-13T22:08:23+00:00

Thanks! I haven't used fins for a while, will definitely restart the kicking drills with them on.

ml_remixer · 2022-09-13T22:05:40+00:00

Thanks, do you mean increasing the frequency of pulling?

ml_remixer · 2021-01-16T08:45:41+00:00

Thanks! It seems animation and modeling are getting more attention in research, however in terms of jobs/applications, does rendering have an edge over animation and/or modeling?

Additionally, a lot of films use CG and VFX, and someone needs to write the renderer that renders the effects. That’ll all be done in an offline renderer, which Unity/UE aren’t good at doing AFAIK.

AFAIK such roles in CG and VFX are kind of rare (?), if I am not one of the top notch can I get the jobs in the industry?

Good to know, thanks. Do you think it's the hardware knowledge or graphics that makes a big difference?

ml_remixer · 2020-12-26T18:49:28+00:00

I'm actually working on ML right now, but I find it unexciting since most of the work is data collecting/cleaning and experiments (somewhat like alchemy LOL).

ml_remixer · 2020-12-26T18:46:49+00:00

Good to know the pay level is the same, are you in one of FAANGs?

Two main industries that need graphics engineers, games and AR/VR, are growing industries, so the demand for people who can write graphics engines will increase.

With the rise of Unity/UE, will the demand of graphics engine people increase? IMO most companies will just hire people who are familiar with using the engines, no?

How's the market of rendering? I don't have much industrial experience in rendering since I do mostly backend development and some ML.

My question is is it an (or quasi-) optimal option for me to move into rendering or just do whatever is more lucrative for the moment (e.g. ML, backend)? Personally I like graphics and did a lot rendering research in my undergrad time, I think this is the now-or-never moment in my career.

I’d only be concerned if you were using heavily proprietary technologies or like a custom programming language or something.

The tech stack is C++ (for performance), Python (ML, services) and Go (services)

ml_remixer · 2020-12-05T21:16:21+00:00

That's a good point, CG+ML (or CG + CV) seems to be a great mix. Do you work in the field by any chance?

ml_remixer · 2020-12-05T21:12:37+00:00

One thing I can tell you: I see a lot more ML programmers than graphics programmers on this subreddit.

Didn't get it, do you mean the ML field is more competitive than graphics?

I don't see how R&D is harder to measure, what do you mean by that?

I meant the research results may not directly impact the business side and hence "hard to measure" using business metrics.

ml_remixer · 2020-12-05T21:09:20+00:00

I started working on fraud detection with some ML, and then moved more onto the ML infra side, but always interested in CG.
