My favorite quote on the subject is: > Every great open source math library is built on the ashes of someone’s academic career. From William Stein, lead developer of the computer algebra system, Sage:…
Yeah, working from home for four years now and I only have one office and desk. It's used for work, of course, but also when I'm writing for my self, or playing video games with my friends. I don't have any problem…
It's definitely a culture thing, probably more at the company level but certainly country level culture matters as well. At my San Francisco based fintech, the culture that's developed is: For one-on-ones and small…
Yes, the models are not constantly learning. They only update their knowledge when they are retrained, which is pretty infrequently (I think the base GPT models have not been retrained, but the chat laters on top might).
I trust Vacuum Wars for technical reviews of vacuums and vacuum robots: https://youtube.com/c/VacuumWars Looks like their big robot round up is about 9 months old, but they have single model reviews as well. Edit: A…
They prefer to have them at the end because: 1. You don't want these cars to get banged around a lot and maybe have their weight change. 2. So you put them at the very end where they take the least wear and tear. 3. But…
It depends on the company and the role. In general, I would be prepared for some white boarding questions, although I've found they're generally "a little easier" than the ones the engineers whine about.
As a Physics PhD, I certainly went into grad school wanting to get a faculty position; is suspect most people did in my cohort. Of course we're mostly data scientists now, because only 5% win the faculty lottery. Data…
Here is an overly simple example: Pre-compute the recommended hotels for my top users every night. Now when that user comes back, they see a slightly stale recommendation, but it's lightning fast. You can also…
That's my experience as well: apt is only "slow" in that sometimes it has to download and write gigs of stuff to disk. Now brew and conda, they often take minutes to solve for the environment, which is what I think of…
Exactly. At my company, Type A are called "Data Analysts", but at Google Facebook they're called "Data Scientists". Type B are "Data Scientists" at my company, but "Machine Learning Engineers" (or SWE-ML or some other…
Definitely, and I've added some of the same ones. What I meant is it doesn't seem to parse the same range of formats, so it rejected some of Pi Hole's filters as malformed.
It is a nightmare! I just finished fighting with it this weekend. The controller only officially supports ARM 32, and the mongoDB dependency only supports ARM 64. In the end I I used a 64-bit Ubuntu, 64-bit mongoDB from…
Really simple stuff, compared to the self watering plants, etc.: - AdGuard Home DNS (Pi Hole was just not stable for me) - Unifi Controller - Torrent box (come get your Linux distros!) - Always on platform to host…
I've run into the same. It often would come back from a reboot without DNS restarted correctly. I never went through a Pi Hole update without having to manually fix things either. A few weeks ago I switched to Ad Guard…
They are almost certainly not allowed by their employment contract.
Confusing, yes. In this case, it's GeV.
Similar story with me: decided I didn't want to join the long-term job hunt and went to Insight (4 years ago). I've been very happy doing data science ever since. It's great to work more collaboratively, ship more…
ESC is the key that (roughly) takes you back to normal mode from insert mode, visual mode, etc. If you aren't using it, then you're either using one of the other ways to get back to normal mode (like CTRL-[), or you are…
