bad interview

oml I did that interview that I was so excited about. Honestly, why did I even let myself be so excited? Because after 45 mins into the interview cto said "I don't think this will work out for either of us" fortyyyyy-fiveeeeee aaaaaaaaaaa 😖😖😖😖 There was still a whole half of the call left!!! and all I could do was to just sit there asking questions about metadata filtering like someone who had not just been told no. 😩😩😩

cto asks me what vectorization is. I knowwww what vectorization is. I have a ML specialization. I read about it. And when he asked me I said 'conversion of chunks into numbers' aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhrrrgghhhh. 😖😖😖😖😖 Why couldn’t the earth just crack open and swallow me whole then zip itself back up like in Dune but less icky and more like a courtesy exit?

the worst part, theee worst part was the design problem. He drew a scenario, thousands of PRs, how would you handle it. And he asked me TWICE. aaaaaanddd was basically handing me the answer. I could see in retrospect he was holding the door open and saying "walk through it." And I said it might be out of scope. in an interview. for an AI engineering job. Where the job description said RAG is must-have biatch atch atch 😖

i'm more angry me for not catching the lifeline.

I feel so ashamed by this that any person who even has just 1 bullet point about this on their résumé could've probably held a conversation. But not this biatch atch atch 😖

And I have a degree in this 😭 I did internships. I built agents. have GitHub repos. and I don't know what to do with that information? What an uncomprehending biatch atch atch 😖

The thing I keep not letting myself say is that I'm scared. Not about this interview specifically. About the next one. About the one after that. About whether I am going to keep walking into rooms and getting told nicely that this isn't going to work out.

It's not something that I can’t fix. I can fix the research gap in a few weeks. the fear is what i will invariably have to sit with

i graduated six millionn months ago. There are graduates who have graduated or are soon graduating probably already know this. Time isn't the variable. They did the thing and I didn't do the thing. Priorities are a biatch atch atch 😖

or atleast I'm constructing them in my head as fully realized engineers. They might be just as scared as I am. They might have bombed a different interview last week. I'm comparing my insides to their LinkedIn outsides, which is the oldest mistake in the book, and I'm still doing it.

The interviewer was kind tho. said he'd stay in touch, gave me real advice.

it would’ve easier to be a victim of a cruel interviewer than to be a person who got a fair assessment and didn't measure up. What a victim playing biatch atch atch 😖

What is this. it's not failure exactly because the interview is one data point. It's not shame exactly because I didn't do anything wrong. It's like. grief? for the version of today where the interview went well and I texted people. that version existed in my head for like a week and now it doesn't and I have to be in this version instead.

okay. I think that's enough for today. Have another interview tomorrow for which I'm a complete mismatch but what else can we do? What a people's time wasting biatch atch atch 😖

"Anemic" Stencils

If you've been paying close attention, you'll probably notice that my stencil designs tend to get thinner once applied to a sign or a surface. This is easily tested using my latest experiment:

When scaling an image of my applied stencil to the original vectoral design, we can see that there are some small loses shown as a white outline:

This loss is small but enough to alter the piece noticeably. Let's fix this!

For this experiment, I'm going to measure the size of a square as it goes from being a 1" x 1" graphic to an X" x X" spray painted square so we can find out just how much we're losing. (I had considered doing circles, but those are too hard to cut.)

Something to bear in mind is that we're trying to measure offset from intended thickness, rather than just thickness. We're technically measuring offset twice the way we're doing it:

The other thing is that my ruler isn't very good and it's hard to tell where to measure from in my photos (especially with the camera as close as it is), but I'll let you know what I measured.

For the first test, I did a 1" x 1" square graphic and traced it onto some poster paper:

It's not obvious in the photo, but this is very close to 1".

I'm going to cut ahead a bit here, but what I ended up doing is tracing this square onto some poster paper, cutting it, tracing this new stencil onto more poster paper, and cutting that one too.

I then took these two stencils, spray painted their design onto more poster paper, and measured the resulting applied stencils:

The "original" applied stencil measured 31/32", which means it had an offset of -1/64":

The applied copy measured 15/16", which is an offset of -1/32".

Ok, so here's the cool part: we can compensate for this. If we apply an offset to our design but in the opposite direction, it should result in an applied stencil at about the correct thickness.

So, to test the theory, I started again but this time with a 1-1/16" square:

I then performed the same operations I did for the first test and measured the resulting squares again:

This time, when applying the copy-stencil, we end up with a square that's very close to 1":

Success!

So, bottom line - at least for me, going forward - is I'll want to offset the graphic a little first before tracing it onto paper.

If I intend to go from graphic to stencil to surface, then I'll want to offset the graphic first by +1/64".

If, however, I intend to make copies of a stencil, then the graphic will need to be offset by +1/32" first.

Thanks for checking out my post. Hopefully this will be helpful for someone.

Upside-Down US Flag Mini-Stencil (Vectorized) - First Test

I've yet to test my vectorized stencil design until just the other day. I created a template stencil first, then traced the design onto three papers, and finally spray painted them. Some of these will be cut and used to spray the design, others will be kept uncut and preserved as is.

The vectorized design can be found here:

The Art of Conversion: Transforming Raster Images into Vector Graphics in Illustrator

Vectorization in Illustrator: Common Questions Answered

1. What is vectorization in Adobe Illustrator, and how does it differ from rasterization?

Vectorization in Adobe Illustrator refers to converting raster images (composed of pixels) into vector graphics, which are made up of paths defined by mathematical formulas. This allows for infinite scaling without loss of quality. In contrast, rasterization is the process of converting vector graphics into raster images, resulting in fixed resolution and potential quality loss when scaled.

2. What are the emerging techniques in vectorization that are expected to gain popularity among designers using Illustrator in 2024?

In 2024, emerging vectorization techniques for Adobe Illustrator include AI-powered tools for automatic tracing and simplification, enhanced live shapes for easier manipulation, and improved path-finding algorithms for cleaner designs. Additionally, integration with 3D modeling and augmented reality features is expected to gain traction, allowing designers to create more dynamic and interactive vector graphics.

3. What are the steps to convert a raster image to a vector graphic using the Image Trace feature in Illustrator?

1. Open Adobe Illustrator and import your raster image. 2. Select the image with the Selection Tool. 3. Go to the top menu and click on "Window," then select "Image Trace." 4. In the Image Trace panel, choose a preset or adjust settings. 5. Click "Trace" to convert the image. 6. Once satisfied, click "Expand" to finalize the vector graphic.

4. What are some common challenges faced when vectorizing images in Illustrator, and how can they be overcome?

Common challenges when vectorizing images in Illustrator include loss of detail, complex shapes, and color matching. To overcome these, use the Image Trace tool with appropriate settings, adjust paths manually for precision, and simplify complex areas. Additionally, experimenting with tracing presets and fine-tuning settings can help achieve better results. Always preview changes to ensure desired output.

5. How does the use of layers and paths in Illustrator enhance the process of editing and refining vectorized images?

Layers in Illustrator allow for organized management of different elements, making it easy to isolate and edit specific parts of an image without affecting others. Paths define the shapes and outlines, enabling precise adjustments to curves and lines. Together, they enhance workflow efficiency, enabling quick edits, refinements, and experiments while maintaining the integrity of the overall design.

Comparing Vectorization in Canva and Photoshop: Tools for Modern Designers

Vectorizing Images in Photoshop: Common Queries Answered

1. Can you vectorize in Canva?

Canva does not support true vector graphics like Adobe Illustrator. However, you can create designs that resemble vector styles using Canva's tools and elements. You can export designs in PNG or PDF formats, but they won't retain the scalability of vector files. For vector editing, consider using dedicated vector software instead.

2. What is vector tool in Photoshop?

The vector tool in Photoshop allows users to create and manipulate vector graphics, which are based on mathematical paths instead of pixels. This enables designs to be scaled without losing quality. Key vector tools include the Pen Tool, Shape Tool, and the Path Selection Tool, which help in creating shapes, lines, and complex designs with precision.

3. What are the disadvantages of vector images?

Vector images can be less detailed than raster images, making them unsuitable for complex images like photographs. They may require more processing power for rendering, especially in intricate designs. Additionally, while they scale without losing quality, their appearance can vary significantly across different devices and software, potentially leading to inconsistencies in presentation.

4. What is the format of a vector image?

A vector image is typically created using formats such as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), and PDF (Portable Document Format). Unlike raster images, vector images use mathematical equations to define shapes, allowing them to be scaled infinitely without losing quality. This makes them ideal for logos, illustrations, and graphic designs.

5. What is an example of a vector image?

An example of a vector image is a logo created in Adobe Illustrator. Vector images use mathematical paths to define shapes and colors, allowing them to be resized without losing quality. Common formats include SVG and AI. This makes vector images ideal for graphics that need to maintain clarity at various sizes, such as branding materials.
