First of all congrats on the success of your game. I've been mulling over taking a break from my corporate engineering job and making a game. Would it be possible to send you an email in about two weeks or so with some retrospective qu

Would you mind sharing what your app is? I'm curious what level of technical sophistication is needed for an app that makes $2k/day. Was it more engineering or marketing or equally both that helped you gain users and traction?

As an aside, if anyone has any unusual things that you have done that have helped with depression, please mention them. I've done the usual route of therapy and meds but that didn't help with my depression or suicidal thoughts. Th

What about in the context of trying to get to an MVP? Is the dev time speedup of using a dynamic programming language and stack significant over using a c++ backed? You wouldn't care much about performance when you're trying to fi

Oh okay, thanks. I wasn't sure if they were selling annotations that their trained model can do quickly or selling manual labeling services that their customers can use to train their own models. Sounds like the latter which isn't

Does Scale AI use trained human annotators to label point clouds for customers or do they have a trained model that they use to quickly and automatically label point clouds for customers?

All the extras like platform and tooling is nice, but don't mean anything if you can't support yourself as a dev. Better revenue sharing for devs is one thing that can make a big difference, provided the user base is there. Either

Tim Sweeney has been extremely kind and generous with his time in all my interactions with him dating back about 10 years ago. I wish him all the success in the world. Him and Epic are getting a lot of hate on Reddit because of the exclusiv

Would you mind saying how old you are? I'm 37 and wondering if that's too late to try my first the bootstrapping a side business path. I imagine I'll make mistakes along the way as a first timer.

Thanks for answering! Does that mean the perception system that's trained on real world data does well on the synthetic data coming in during testing? Or are the perception systems' training data kept separate (synthetic data for

I just found this paper related to that actually https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.07849 From what I can find out seems like all the companies are using unreal or unity for rendering the graphics though.

That was my impression as well. Maybe the idea is get the models trained in a simulation to a satisfactory level and work on transfer of the model to real world data in parallel? There's an awful lot of money going into the first part

Thanks for replying. I totally agree with needing traction first. I'm putting cart before the horse a little bit by asking the stuff in my post, but I am wondering if I'm chasing a dead end if the odds of getting revenue from a si
