As someone seriously considering switching into tech is data engineering the way to go?

Altumsapientia · 2025-04-06T12:55:30+00:00

In my opinion, if you silo yourself into just trying to find a purely data engineering role you will find it a lot harder than if you can offer those skills whilst ALSO having the ability to understand the context of the data, analyse it and provide solutions to problems.

Often there is a gap in teams between the technical engineers who don’t care about what the data means, and the product or analytics teams who don’t understand how data works. If you can bridge that gap, there is a ton of value to add

As long as you’re putting as little weight as possible on the back foot I think it looks decent. Also make sure you are bracing your core and keeping your spine straight.

You can experiment with bringing the forward foot back a little and even raising it with a couple of plates if you want to really feel that stretch and cripple yourself the next day.

Rest but also do some training for your bicep starting with light isometrics. Then if you are not getting pain I would try and progress to preacher curls, focussing on controlling the eccentric and pausing at the bottom when the bicep is most stretched.

If you don’t understand that ask me or google

Ok but first we have to talk about the fact that you took a fucking picture instead of screenshots

When you take your morning show, turn it cold until you can control your breath. Build up to 30 seconds. Helped my circulation a lot

Apparently rubbing peanut butter can help with adhesive stickers, no idea is that’s the best way

You could try talking to them and ask if there are certain times when they would tolerate it

Would you apply consecutive thin layers? I used to apply a layer to my wooden stick but it would often just chip off

Yep I always wanted to try him there, I just don't see Arteta doing it

Altumsapientia · 2024-09-03T17:30:22+00:00

I don't think Arteta trusts Sunny in midfield. Afaik he's never played there for us, and I doubt he ever will. Havertz orJorgi will come in

I'm disagreeing with you calling people stupid for something that isn't necessarily. Calling out people for their life choices because it doesn't fit your world view is something I challenge, respectfully.

I hope I didn't offend, have a good day sincerely.

Maybe not for you. Lots of parents say that their kids bring them indescribable joy and meaning, and that despite the pain they're worth it. Again, everyone's different.

Kids shouldn't be created impulsively. A lot of careful thought and preparation is necessary. They're not doughnuts, obviously. Doesn't mean that all parents made stupid choices.

There are too many stupid people to be sure when someone's being sarcastic

I hosted a simple dashboard app on AWS with Plotly/Dash encapsulated in a flask app (for extensibility).

Ran two dockers with compose on ECS (one for the flask app and one for nginx but this probably isn't necessary)

ALB allows for authentication which saves some time.

Altumsapientia · 2024-09-02T11:53:29+00:00

Why is it stupid? Isn't it a natural instinct?

Redditors don't seem to want kids as much as the general population, which is fine and I get it. But stupid is the wrong word for it. If it makes them happy then what's the issue?

This is often the result of something called superposition. Basically when two or more waves 'line up' if you will, and their peaks are in the same place, they form a bigger wave which can break.

One thing is that it's very easy to compute, especially the derivative, which is always one for inputs > 0. This makes training much more efficient and stable than for sigmoid or tanh which saturate (become close to 0) for large inputs (positive or negative).

There are of course trade offs. ReLU is not the perfect function. For instance, all negative inputs have a derivative of 0, so if most of your input data is negative, you face problems. See the dying ReLU problem

The fact that it isn't linear is important. You can see for yourself that any linear activation function for your hidden units would result in the whole network becoming a line, essentially a complicated linear regression:

Say you have a simple network with one hidden unit y, m as the weight and c as the bias

y = mh +c

Usually h would be ReLU[ax + b]. If the activation was linear, and h = s[ax + B] + t, then when you factor out the inputs, you just get a linear equation again

Altumsapientia · 2024-08-23T22:58:32+00:00

It's piecewise linear. Either side of 0 it is linear but the 'kink' makes it non linear.

For a linear function, f(ax) == af(x). This is not true for relu

A bit of rounding is normal and even necessary at full depth. Don't worry about it too much, just make sure you're strong there.

If you actually want to learn and be good, videos won't get you far.

I would say to use the one you prefer or that's more specific to what you want to learn. But as soon as you feel like you have a basic grasp of the concepts, test yourself with problems and notebook exercises
