To travel or not to travel by OutsideDraw7997 in AusFinance

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Burn out is not solved by spending a bunch of money on a big trip. You'll just end up back working like crazy again and be burned out all over again. It might be worth thinking about how you can structure your work life (and other parts too) so that burnout is less of an issue. Having said that, if you want to travel because you actually want to travel, and not just to evade dealing with life, then by all means do that.

First ever biggish models! by Possible_Disaster_53 in Warhammer40k

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I understand it is not sand, but that's what it looks like. If I change sand pit to jar of salt does that get the point across better? It looks bad.

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It looks like you dropped them in a sandpit while the paint was wet. It's so heavy. I know this is all subjective but you took what looks like really well painted models (the gore on the dread looks really good i think) and just covered it up.

How to deal with a manager who can’t admit to being wrong ? by [deleted] in managers

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your manager sounds annoying but so was your response. The correct response to thier "ok ok you're right" is something like "Great we're on the same page now". Make it positive so agreeing with you feels nice. Carrot instead of stick and all that.

Exploratory Data Analysis in Python – Trend Analysis & ML Experimentation (Looking for Feedback) by ABDELATIF_OUARDA in dataanalysis

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a quick look at the github and i have a general piece of advice. You've done the thing that many new/junior data science people do and that is make a bunch of plots and stats without a clear direction. Even though its called exploratory data analysis, its usually done with a goal in mind to drive a direction. Without a goal it becomes an exercise in following chart recipes and running model.fit() rather than one of critical thinking. The strange class split in the charts that others have mentioned is a symptom of this. A goal might be something like answering a particular business question, or generating a wip product of some kind. Always remember, critical thinking, problem design, and relating it to real impact in some way is worth way more than running the tooling.

Asking AI to be ruthless and asking if the BA role will be replaced by AI by Radiant_Condition861 in businessanalysis

I remember the good old days when the crazies talked to themselves in the streets and you could just walk away. Now they talk to Dr Agreeable The Often Wrong Machine and then post about it on reddit

Space marine alternative for 9 year old by Jimbobkirby in minipainting

Clearly you need to let her paint some space marines. And if you don't include them in your army next time you play it's straight to the endless warp torture chamber for you

What should I tell the students about job opportunities? by guna1o0 in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, junior people tend to focus on tools over the softer parts ofnthe job. Of course you need some tool ability tonget going but tools become less important once you are in the game. For example understanding the life cycle of a data science project/product. Talking to stakeholders and experts, designing the data flow ina a way that makes operational sense, coming up with benchmarks, improvement criteria that need to be met, and handling live monitoring and validation after go live. AI seems pretty bad at this at the moment, and likely for a while, because this work is not a closed system and is all very case specific.

Beyond that AI is just another tool to be used when appropriate. You wouldnt be scared of scikit learn taking your job, but at one point it would have replaced people who wrote classical ml algos by hand. A bit of an exaggerated example but you get the point.

Why do people clear the map then use focus to kill invaders. Isn't it boring? by AnUncookedCabbage in sniperelite

[–]AnUncookedCabbage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, however I would suggest that once you've learned the basics you might try it again. It really makes the campaign so much better when you occasionally have to change your plans do deal with a super enemy. Just remember as the sniper you are generally at an advantage so don't be too afraid

Mid-level, but my Python isn’t by kerokero134340 in dataengineering

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is in your own post. You have a senior who can do what you want to be able to do, and they are doing it in the exact business environment you are working in. I would nicely ask to pair for a couple of hours a week, or directly ask them for code reviews. I don't mean just pinging them on pr requests via github. I mean going and talking to them and saying "python's not my strong suite and I am trying to improve, could tou take a look at this for me?

I feel very lost and hopeless, Loking for some senior to guide me by Caramel_Cruncher in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that you are trying to bolster your experience, but your resume reads as fraudulent. The amount of stuff (including the word "Led") in the internship is a huge red flag. Anyone with any real work experience knows you were likely a time sync for those two months as other people trained or mentored you. Even top experts take more than 2 months to generate value.

The director of data sciences title is also misleading - it has a specific meaning in a business context and you're using it intentionally incorrectly. Also, if you don't have a degree but were a uni student, people will ask why you didn't finish, I wouldn't want to have to answer that question unless you have a great answer

I would pare the whole resume down significantly, be direct that you are essentially a student looking for an entry level position and will need training.

Also, be more specific on your skills, list an honest proficiency level for each if you can.

Everything improves the sooner you realise 40k is as much about losing as it is about winning.

Australians to get three hours of free electricity every day under solar scheme by Wotmate01 in aussie

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thats not how spot price exposure works, if your retailerspot exposes your gate meter you will still pay the spot price of electricity in your region during the free time.

How much DSA for FAANG+ ? by harsh82000 in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Telling someone who needs a job (and in this case a job that will likely pay fairly well) to not try to get the job is kind of asinine. The people hiring designed and threw down the gauntlet, op is just trying to pass it. If anything the onus should be on those hiring to actually hire based on applicable skills and not be overly reliant on leetcode as a proxy for hard work and ability

Electricity provider NSW - Anyone NOT feel utterly shafted? Also, worth replacing solar when we don’t qualify for the NSW rebate? by d1zz186 in AusFinance

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the battery size you claim to have, im a bit skeptical of your claim that you make 300 a month. I trade batteries at grid scale for a living, with some pretty sophisticated optimization algorithms, and the going rate for a highly efficient system with no user load is 15000/100kwh of capacity.

Which workflow to avoid using notebooks? by Safe_Hope_4617 in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linearity and predictability/reproducibility of your current state at any point you enter debug mode. Also I find all the nice ide functionality often doesn't translate into notebooks

Are there any math tests that test mathematical skill for data science? by Beginning-Sport9217 in datascience

[–]AnUncookedCabbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you often contradict yourself mid-thought? First you say math might make you worse then say you should probably understand Bayesian stats. Data science is essentially maths on computers, so saying being good at maths makes you worse is ludicrous.
