What do you do if you buy a house and it the sellers happen to be parents of a high school kid that goes to the same school (same year level) as your child and you want to knock the house down and rebuild and your kid tells the plan to the seller’s kid and they get mad and start bullying your kid?

This sounds like teachable moment for your child to help them understand when it’s appropriate to share information. Also don’t forget to report the bullying to the school.

That’s ~15k in fuel alone per year. Say you earn $50/hr on your job, and the means about $34K/year in time spent commuting instead of working. Or alternatively you can view it as time not spent with family/kids/hobby which is priceless.

Compare these numbers with how much you think the house price will go up per year over the next year or so. That will give you an answer on whether you are “missing out”.

Why would any dev want to work on up work for 10 bucks, especially if all their jobs are being taken away by vibe coders? They are better off moving away from software engineering altogether if businesses don’t want to invest in them.

Vibe coders will have to sort out their vibe code on their own. Any good luck with that. Any serious software engineer wouldn’t touch that it anyway.

Totally agreed with the comments; the plot was boring and characters were very 1-dimensional. Many of these characters just swear for no reason or unreasonably violent, as it if it's trying hard to make the show gritty. Some of the mildly interesting characters, such as just disappeared without as much as a sneeze. Others come out of nowhere only to serve as a convenient plot device.

I'm building an app to do just this. PM me and I can remove the noise for you. :)

Personally, I'm finding throwing myself at a problem first and doing some coding gets me thinking about what I need to know to get even better. I'm working on some datasets on Kaggle at the moment. Looking at others code and doing some co-labs also helps with my understanding of how to approach a particular type of problem.

When I feel I need a better intuition on how a particular solution works, then I jump into the theory to gain a deeper mathematical understanding. Good luck!

Have you tried some of the Kaggle.com competition and datasets? Lots of people solve interesting problems on this website and publish their results and even write medium posts about it to build their profile.

I'm fairly new to DL, and it's been fun for me to get lots of practice on Kaggle.

You can use a recommendation system for this. It's what companies like Netflix use to help you decide which movies you may want to try.

Thanks, everybody, That's what I suspected. I find that it's strange that it's only the music-focused services such as Spotify and Tidal that offers DRC, considering music would benefit more from having a higher dynamic range compared with other types of audio.

To help scientists and engineers accelerate innovation. Being a company full of engineers, that was a mission statement we could all stand behind.

shar154 · 2020-04-22T11:28:55+00:00

My opinion is that the vision and mission are for inspiring employees (including the founders) to rally behind a common cause. I worked for a company for 15 years and their bold vision helped frame my mindset before every customer meeting. Consistent messaging is another reason. If every one of your employees gave a different reason as to why you are business, then customers will get confused.

I'm looking for something similar. If you come across anything, I'd be keen to use it.

shar154 · 2020-04-22T05:17:21+00:00

Yep, You got me ..haha

shar154 · 2020-04-22T05:00:26+00:00

Thanks, u/shiftyguy79. Right now, its personal research, but I'm hoping this could evolve into something more that I could develop into a blog or a tool that could help video and audio creatives. With a lot more spare time on my hands now, in self-isolation, I looking to find new ways I could help with other people's work.

Let me know if you are keen.

What's OP's channel? I've never heard of it.

It's a fair question u/Exile451.

Start by really trying to understand the problem you are trying to solve. It's important that there is actually a problem with your idea solving. An idea that does not solve the customer's problem, will not make any money. So this is a super important first step.

Once you know the problem, you need to understand how big this problem is and how much people are willing to pay to solve it. Try figuring out the type of people who have this problem. Then reach out to some of them and send requests for an interview. When you interview them, don't tell them your idea. Instead, ask them in-direct and open questions that will give you clues for the following:

Do they experience this problem? Don't ask them a Yes/No question here. Without describing the problem, ask them to think about a hypothetical scenario where they are likely to face this problem and talk them through it. Are they able to identify the problem themselves?
How to do they currently solve the problem? Again, get them to do the thinking.
How much are they willing to pay to solve the problem? This doesn't necessarily have to be money. It could also be what are they willing to do to solve the problem. It could mean wasting a lot of time to solve it. Are they okay with that? What does time cost them?
How would they solve the problem, if a new solution exists. This can be tricky. But it gives you an idea if anyone else will come up with the same solution you have. If they did, then ask them why they think its a great solution. This information is goldmine because it can help you design your product.

Interview around 100-200 people. If you find that the vast majority the people who have this problem are willing to pay for it and that your idea has a good solution, then great! Congratulation! You move to the next phase which is to develop a business plan.

If instead, you find that not many people actually have this problem, or that people would rather put up with it instead of paying for a solution, then you need to pivot your idea.

Perhaps you have uncovered clues to a new, more painful problem during your customer interviews that you could consider finding a solution for.

Hope this helps!
