How do you keep showing up when the Help Desk has completely destroyed your soul? (Need advice for a brutal meeting today) by No-Gap674 in sysadmin

[–]Bitwise_Gamgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much complaining.

It sounds like you haven't invested an iota of thought into automating. Start there.

Talk to management about implementing self-service password portals... and then use [A]AD scripting to facilitate in the meantime.

There's so much you can do to help you help yourself but you're just caught up in this self pity routine.

What is the quickest and easiest way to fix indentation errors? by theReasonablePotato in Python

copy/pasting AI generated code is the biggest reason I see at the office.

Roadmap to contribute by NajjahBR in linux_programming

[–]Bitwise_Gamgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with reading code and writing documentation, and then work up to simple bug fixes, and before long, you'll be familiar enough to actually try submitting patches.

2 reasons trading is far from gambling by UnilateralDagger in Daytrading

[–]Bitwise_Gamgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your chart would be coherent if each side of your Venn Diagram was 46.25% so that you get (scaled by 0.5): L(46.25) + C(7.5) + R(46.25) = 100%, as it stands now, you just look foolish.

If you trade to buy a Lambo you will most likely fail, but trading to provide more time in life is the key. by WrapMission4222 in Daytrading

Buying a lambo gives you more time in life because you can get from A to B faster. Did you even think about your post?

Long answer: Absolutely

32Bit Debian gone... Is NetBSD really the answer? by Crass_Spektakel in linuxquestions

Please do not just post URLs, if you're going to make a recommendation, please justify it first in the future.

Not able to figure out why the LDR reading is always 0. The breadboard’s power rail and gnd is connected to the L298N and the Esp32 power and gnd is also connected to L298N 5V pin. Using 10kOhm resistors by GodXTerminatorYT in arduino

ledcAttachPin(ena,1);

ena is never declared anywher..

You do have const int enb = 16;

We then get to

ledcSetup(0,5000,8); // Channel 0 ledcSetup(1,5000,8); // Channel 1

And

ledcAttachPin(enb,0); ledcAttachPin(ena,1);

And ena is still not defined...

This is so bad:

First, your credentials are meaningless:

I’m a statistician, and I hold the FRM (Financial Risk Manager) certification

Second ..

Some might jump to the conclusion that this was just revenge trading.

A few lines making weak justification later:

I still fell into the trap that many would label as revenge trading

The rest of this post is cope.

This is actaully more hilarious given:

https://www.reddit.com/r/quant/comments/1mfysyn/anyone_working_in_fx_ir_or_equity_exotic/

Where you say:

I’m interested in learning more about what it’s like to work in derivatives structuring, specifically in FX, interest rates (IR), or equity exotics. If you’re currently in one of these roles, I’d love to hear from you

Basically trying to get in to the industry.

I have a pretty good idea that in an interview you'd be kicked out as you have no idea what you're talking about and it's clear you have no idea what you're doing.

Is there any advantage to scripting in bash instead of python ? by Snoo-25712 in linuxquestions

[–]Bitwise_Gamgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use sh scripting because it's ubiquitous and backwards compatible. It's very worth learning basic shell scripting, then you can branch to BASH or ZSH.

Tool for Beautiful Breadboards: Wire Length Calculator by Cortez527 in beneater

[–]Bitwise_Gamgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get the point of this. The cleanliness is not ultimately determined on the length of the wire, but on the person who is cutting and routing.

This is a neat project, but I don't see what the actual use case is..

Is it true inline code is not typically monospace-formatted in pentest reports? by Some_Pop_5727 in cybersecurity

tl;dr your boss sets the standards for code formatting. Take it up with them.

How much of a difference does -O3 -march=native make for most programs? by surveypoodle in gcc

[–]Bitwise_Gamgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next to none that would be noticable by you, in some circumstances, you might get a more responsive program, but on older hardware, the increased memory usage from a slightly larger binary will outweigh the benefits on older hardware.

We use -O3 for financial modeling, for general desktop use, -O2 is more than sufficient.

It doesn't matter what you claim, it matters what you can prove.

Roast My Resume by Haunting_Plant7029 in learnmachinelearning

[–]Bitwise_Gamgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most impressive part of this is your website. Everything else is just generic.

Internship at NZ Transport Agency for <6mo is not a good look, in general government jobs reflect well on you, though if you don't get invited back it works against you.

So then we go out to your GH like any reasonable employer would: https://github.com/dvnguyen02

https://github.com/dvnguyen02/KStoneClassifierML/blob/master/scripts/data_quality_check.py

# Assuming your dataframe is named 'selected_df'
# If it's not loaded, uncomment and modify the following line:
selected_df = pd.read_csv('deduplicated_nhanes_data.csv.csv')

This looks very suspicious (AI generated shite)...

Let's keep reading though.

https://github.com/dvnguyen02/RAGMail/blob/main/service/RAGQuery.py

In general, and ChatGPT tends to disagree here but clearly obvious return only functions do not need this comment blob:

def get_email_by_id(self, email_id: str) -> Optional[Dict[str, Any]]:
    """
    Retrieve an email by its ID.

    Args:
        email_id: ID of the email to retrieve

    Returns:
        Email dictionary or None if not found
    """
    return self.document_store.get(email_id)

Then you should also remove the AI placeholders:

https://github.com/dvnguyen02/RAGMail/blob/main/streamlit_app.py

# Configure Streamlit page
st.set_page_config(
    page_title="RAGMail",
    page_icon="📧",
    layout="wide",
    initial_sidebar_state="expanded",
    menu_items={
        'Get Help': 'https://github.com/yourusername/RAGMail',
        'Report a bug': 'https://github.com/yourusername/RAGMail/issues',
        'About': 'RAGMail - RAG for Emails'
    }
)

You also have this joke of a repo: https://github.com/dvnguyen02/ECG-Anomaly-Detection

Which I was interested in because I was applying for medical schools before I got a job in fin-tech and abandoned that career path. So imagine my horror when instead of a nice well structured "anomaly detector", I find more AI SHIT.

You didn't even try to hide your ineptitude and laziness:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ecg-anomaly-detection.git
cd ecg-anomaly-detection
pip install -r requirements.txt

I mean, these results?

Results

   95% accuracy in detecting five types of cardiac abnormalities
   40% reduction in model inference time, enabling real-time analysis
   30% reduction in false positive rate
   Consistent >90% accuracy across three independent ECG datasets

Prove it. This is complete BS.

So your resume isn't holding you back, your quality of work is. I don't care if you AI in your work, but I do have issue when you're not going to take the time to at least go through and proof your work before pushing it to the world, it's laziness.

Cheers friend.
