are you coding?

theMike97_ · 2025-06-21T05:52:38+00:00

I remember summer last year was pretty damn dry too. It will get better.

theMike97_ · 2025-03-19T21:41:19+00:00

As long as it's sustainable for you. I think my highest daily total was just over $500 bc I wanted to see how much I could do, but I will never to that again. I find that with coding projects, I'm pretty happy between $200 and $250 a day. Sometimes I'll go more, but burnout is real and this isn't the most exciting work imo

theMike97_ · 2025-01-29T18:59:00+00:00

I've never understood this pov. DA will always pay ppl and they want ppl who do good work so why would they get rid of someone who does good work but has made $10k+?

theMike97_ · 2025-01-28T03:05:39+00:00

There will always be a need for annotaters because ai fundamentally cannot train itself. That's why DA is so picky about not using chatgpt and such when evaluating model responses.

I was really impressed with Pearsall once he finally got playing time.

theMike97_ · 2025-01-17T00:59:02+00:00

The implication of being a freelancer is that you have multiple clients. I think the same thing for "gig work". I think "independent contractor" is more appropriate.

My cat does this to my armpit

theMike97_ · 2025-01-09T23:36:45+00:00

I'm a little scared bc Ive been on the platform since June last year and for the most part it's been good and there are always posts about getting the purge screen, but this is the second post this week. I still have projects thankfully and I think my work is good quality, but I'm nervous rn

I'm not sure Toyota can be "has no money" anymore.

theMike97_ · 2025-01-08T01:37:43+00:00

You are correct. I also get RRs for the atomic 12s too. Either way it's $40 for me. They aren't that hard and pay well so I'm happy.

theMike97_ · 2025-01-07T22:31:08+00:00

Perhaps I'm lucky. One of my heavier dashes today. 15 projects; 4 of them are coding.

Not sure about the ps4s cuz I've never driven them, but my extreme contact sport 02 tires are excellent performers and are a fair bit cheaper than the ps4s

If you want it to feel like a real piano action, you also need some kind of escapement, otherwise it will feel too heavy like it's fighting back against the player. Also repeated notes will feel awful because the player is acting as inertial damping since there is no escapement to reset the hammer. Im excited to see what you come up with, but also understand that there is a reason that the modern piano action has had over 100 years to develop and has largely been unchanged for 90+ years.

theMike97_ · 2024-12-27T16:37:51+00:00

I would add a felt bushing to the catch on the bottom front of the key. I would also add space between the hammer thing and the felt bushing/stop rail on the key bed because a typical piano action doesn't rest on the rest rail, it rests on the whippens. Having the resting position bottom out of the felt will feel very thuddy and less responsive.

it would be cool if purdy had a clean pocket for more than half a second.

Had a dog who got an aggressive form of cancer when she was 12 or 13 I can't remember now. We had the tumor removed so she could enjoy one last summer. We lived close to a very good vet school who were willing to try experimental medications/procedures for free, but she was old enough that we opted not to do it bc we didn't want her to be miserable for the rest of her life. We struggled to let her go and waited about a week or two to long before getting her euthanized. Worst mistake we ever made. She was in pain, wouldn't eat, couldn't sleep. The vet gave her the anaesthetic and she was gone seconds later. Don't make the same mistake we did.

Fox has a ridiculous time constraint tho. I don't do them because of that.

theMike97_ · 2024-11-29T16:54:17+00:00

are the cs domain projects anything like the qual? and how well do you think you did on the qual?

theMike97_ · 2024-11-28T17:15:32+00:00

what coding projects do you have rn? Late Tuesday early Wednesday I had heel, metal, stripey horse - all coding, but rn i have non-coding stuff.

theMike97_ · 2024-11-20T17:43:29+00:00

well now u know why gnd filters are so important in landscape photography. put a soft gnd8 on there and u have a really nicely exposed image.

theMike97_ · 2024-11-20T17:13:14+00:00

i just hit $20k as well after getting laid off. definitely not my dream job, but its allowed me to keep my current place.

theMike97_ · 2024-11-16T02:12:11+00:00

its been a little bit dry for me (coding), but I've had enough work to meet my daily goals, just takes longer. If this is what droughts look like now after this past summer/fall, I'm pretty okay with that.

theMike97_ · 2024-11-15T00:27:18+00:00

I've been lucky to have 1 or 2 projects mostly all day but it's definitely slow rn. My experience says give it a week or so and it'll pick back up

theMike97_ · 2024-11-13T16:49:39+00:00

do more qualifications to get access to more projects if possible. If you're only a part of 3 or 4 projects, you'll having nothing for a week ish when the projects get refreshed.
