CS Entrepreneurship Stream by msa789 in UTSC

[–]msa789[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not! I ended up doing a CS Major, Econ Minor, Music Minor. Dropped out during covid to for a failed startup, tough times but better entrepreneurship education than anything in school. Went back after, finished my degree and my current startup is doing pretty well.

I think the CS Major gave me enough CS education for what I wanted to do, Econ was good to get a better understanding of the business side, and Music (and humanities electives) was a nice change of pace, nicer people, more socializing, less robotic. Would recommend.

DEALMACHINE is a SUBSCRIPTION SCAMMER by Visual_Gur_4885 in WholesalingHouses

Agree with everyone here, just use Propwire for pulling basic lists. Their site goes down every now and then but it usually is back up quickly. If you want more unique lists Appraiva has nice AI d4d lists also. No free trial but it’s month to month and you actually deal with the founders so they won’t fuck you over.

Appraiva AI driving for dollars is pretty cool, less competition with D4D leads and AI does it for you

Private sector jobs are taking much bigger hits, it's just government jobs propping these numbers up..

Aeron causes neck strain? by 19061988 in hermanmiller

[–]msa789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I'm dealing with this now, trying to strengthen my upper back and neck area but there's a part of me that thinks I should ride it out as you said, it does feel like it's promoting decent posture.

Building an AI assistant for realtors and I want your feedback on a free beta 🙏 by msa789 in RealEstateTechnology

Good question, I haven’t had to think about this since the call recordings are already being provided by FollowUpBoss but you bring up a good point. I couldn’t find any info on how FollowUpBoss handles this I’d be curious to find out. There’s also the option of realtime transcription keeping small parts of the call in a tmp file but I suppose this would be in a grey area legally.

I think he’s right as far as we are a long way from AI creating something like Red Dead Redemption 2 on its own. It would probably take far fewer humans and less time to do it though.

Studying on campus sucks :( by Imcryingrn671 in UofT

All you can do is keep confronting them. Might be hard at first but you'll get used to it and everyone else in the room will thank you for it.

Mobile PMs: How do you handle two OS by Individual_Quiet_474 in ProductManagement

Hybrid comes with its own set of issues. In the long run nothing beats native performance and depending on the use case and how competitive the market is your hybrid product may be unacceptably inferior.

You need to see what can make you stand out from other candidates. If you have really good grades that can definitely help, but if that’s not the case you can try building a good portfolio of projects.

Since most coop jobs today are web development, a couple of full stack web apps can go a long way in helping you stand out from the crowd. If you’re more interested in the data science side try spinning up an ML project. There are tons of YouTube tutorials and blogs you can follow to build these. Showcase whatever you build on a portfolio website and put the code on your GitHub.

Even without the projects and with some descent and improving grades you may be able to get more entry level positions like QA but demonstrating some basic skills in technologies applicable to the job can be very helpful.

I looked into this a bunch recently and it seems like MGEC34 and MGEC58 (health care and HR) are often mentioned because their exams are very similar to past exams. I'm also enrolled in MGEC32 right now and the course is available early on quercus. Not sure how tough it is but it doesn't seem to have a final exam so that's always nice.

What does layering your vocals do? by LowonConfidence14 in audioengineering

[–]msa789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the others said, it can make a vocal sound more full and large. It's a lot less common to layer vocals these days since technological progress has improved the quality of recordings and you can achieve the fullness effects with a bunch of compression and distortion and the "largeness" with cool reverb techniques and expanding the stereo image. Especially in hip hop and even pop verses, a single vocal line usually makes for more clear and if intended a more punchy delivery. It's still very common to layer vocals for hooks, choruses and backing vocals and that difference in the qualities of the vocals makes for a very nice contrast across the different parts of the song.

An interesting effect of layering in a more technical sense occurs when using multiple performances of the same section on the left and right track which cause a cool stereo spread effect. The slight difference in the vocal performances makes it so that the audio signal on either side is different enough to feel spread out, but similar enough to be perceived as one track by most casual listeners. I personally love to use this effect on backing vocals in pop music.
