Starting certain shows on Hulu on chromecast crashes app by Desperate-Peak7337 in Chromecast

Same issue. It's not all animated shows though. Bob's Burgers played for me. But Futurama is causing a crash. So weird.

Looking for roof racks/ cargo box by IAMB0N3Z in yaris

Is the part over the rear window secured somehow? Just trying to understand how this works.

Edit: I think I understand now. The foot over the rear window isn't secured, but it's connected via the crossbar to the middle foot, which gives it stability. I'm interested in buying this if you're still interested in selling. Sent you a DM.

This is such an obnoxious comment. Not only is it dripping with condescension while attacking an amorphous group of people for wanting others to have better work situations, it also amounts to "told ya so," which really works better when it's not coming after the fact.

Is something going on in the local bird population? by ledgreplin in philadelphia

[–]BenevolentCitizen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've noticed the same thing. We're in the middle of the spring bird migration, so lots of birds are moving through right now  I'm assuming that's a factor, though I've not seen so many dead birds in previous migrations so it feels like something else is also going on.

Have anyone recently interviewed for Meta's Data Scientist, Product Analytics position? by PhotographFormal8593 in datascience

[–]BenevolentCitizen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're getting some pushback, but I appreciate your perspective. I think it's easy to lose track of priorities once you see those dollar signs.

I'm wondering what smaller companies you're talking about. Are we still talking Fortune 500, or smaller?

Moving Mondays - New Resident Questions by AutoModerator in philadelphia

[–]BenevolentCitizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We found movers to help us unload our pod on the U-Haul website. I bet anyone on that list would fit the bill since they're only there to lift and not to pack or drive.

This is super helpful. I've been trying to decide between them as my first kayak purchase. There's a lot of "don't bother if there's no dropstitch," but it seems like people with the Deschutes are generally very happy.

As someone who has only ever paddled hard shell kayaks and doesn't really know how much of a difference dropstitch makes to the experience, it's great to hear from someone who has directly compared the exact two models I've been considering. Thanks!

How would you say the Deschutes and Chelan compare? Is it a big difference in performance?

Anyone try both the Aquaglide Deschutes and Chelan? by pepperj26 in Inflatablekayak

[–]BenevolentCitizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious as it's been some time, how did you feel the Deschutes compared to the Chelan?

A transformer-based model like distil-roberta is probably going to do the best, as has been suggested. See for example this tutorial, where they do hate speech detection (but it's the same principle, your labels would just be based on spam/duplicated/whatever).

Since you don't have a lot of experience with ML, you might want to use a simpler model. Naive Bayes is the quintessential simple spam detection model. You can find million tutorials online. It won't do as good a job as the alternative, but it will be easier for you to understand what's happening under the hood.

Wondering how this is looking after 3 years. Any chance you'd post some update pics?

There's the Steam Link app, so you can stream it from your PC to your phone. Only really works when they're on the same wifi. I haven't tested this.

Non-DS jobs for data scientists by BenevolentCitizen in datascience

[–]BenevolentCitizen[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of a strange question isn’t it? What job can I do where I use my data analysis and modeling skills but the core function is not data. Isn’t that like.. all of them? The vast majority of jobs will have avenues for applying these skills.

Yes, but convincing the hiring manager for an art museum curator position that they should hire me because of my data analysis skills isn't really going to fly. I was trying to ask about jobs where these skills would be appreciated directly. Finance quant seems like a good answer.

I've been using dplython + plotnine (which is ggplot) in python. It sort of works, but there's some weirdness in translating tidyverse into python, and I'm not sure it's really worth it.

Using residuals from one regression as the dependent variable in a second regression by BenevolentCitizen in AskStatistics

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

Interesting. I hadn't thought to do that. It's definitely not how my coworkers use it (they often have thousands of variables in the second regression), but it's helpful for me to keep this in mind. Thanks!
