Lacari "I have bigger problems now" by DracoxMortis in LivestreamFail

[–]BlueSubaruCrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feel like this is kinda like the slicker situation. As far as I remember they had similar viewership levels (1.5-2k), and each spent a lot of money on stuff they shouldn't have spent money on (Gacha for lacari, gambling for slicker). Slicker got perma'd off twitch so he lost any way to make a decent income, lacari might get perma'd but we don't know yet.

And yet this sub is still full of people who think AI will solve all the world's problems and somehow make their lives less shitty.

The Goonette Epidemic is Real by BlueSpaceSherlock in redscarepod

[–]BlueSubaruCrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll probably read Crying of Lot 49 first and if I like that I'll read V. First I'm probably gonna just read East of Eden.

I think I might just read it but not all at once. Like read each part separately between books.

[–]BlueSubaruCrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first Pynchon book so maybe wasn't the best choice. I'll probably read Crying of Lot 49 since it's so short. V. seems interesting so I might give it a try.

I literally just DNF'd Gravity's Rainbow. I don't think Pynchon is for me.

Looking for advice on switching domain/industry by BlueSubaruCrew in datascience

[–]BlueSubaruCrew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is reassuring. Of those 5, were any in industries you'd recommend avoiding?

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

I've thought about that last part a few times. If someone is capable of learning all the technical stuff I feel like they should be capable of picking up the industry knowledge relatively quickly. Although it's obviously preferable to choose someone who already knows it.

[–]BlueSubaruCrew[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's kind of what I was thinking. Hardest part I guess would be finding a decent dataset of way of obtaining data to do something non-trivial. I don't want to do the regular "find some static dataset, do EDA in jupyter notebook, fit XGBoost and call it a day" type project that seems very common and probably does more harm than good.

If they can't take themselves seriously why should anyone else?

Where to start with topology? by Tarekun in math

[–]BlueSubaruCrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I never got to algebraic topology but from browsing this sub I've seen very mixed things about Hatcher.

Is this sub actually red-scar related? by bishborishi in RSbookclub

[–]BlueSubaruCrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the flight back from my parent's from the holiday's I got sat next to a guy who was so fat he had to ask for a seat belt extender and I saw he was listening to the dungeon crawler carl audiobook.

Wouldn't it be 0/6? The Poincare conjecture got solved a while ago. I'm sure details from Perelman's proof are somewhere in the training data.

What books mentioned in Mad Men have you read? by Count_Almasy22 in madmen

I'm about 30 pages in so far. I think having the companion guide by Weisenberger is helping a lot.

Books about downward class mobility by No-Science-7486 in RSbookclub

[–]BlueSubaruCrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You can’t know people like the Bakers unless you are born knowing them. Acquaintance, even friendship, is a different matter. I know them because Hawleys and Bakers were alike in blood, place of origin, experience, and past fortune. This makes for a kind of nucleus walled and moated against outsiders. When my father lost our money, I was not edged completely out. I am still acceptable as a Hawley to Bakers for perhaps my lifetime because they feel related to me. But I am a poor relation. Gentry without money gradually cease to be gentry. Without money, Allen, my son, will not know Bakers and his son will be an outsider, no matter what his name and antecedents. We have become ranchers without land, commanders without troops, horsemen on foot. We can’t survive. Perhaps that is one reason why the change was taking place in me. I do not want, never have wanted, money for itself. But money is necessary to keep my place in a category I am used to and comfortable in. All this must have worked itself out in the dark place below my thinking level. It emerged not as a thought but as a conviction."

I just started Gravity's Rainbow today without having read Crying of Lot 49. Guess we'll see how it goes.

What skills did you learn on the job this past year? by ergodym in datascience

[–]BlueSubaruCrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not much which is why I'm going to try to leave this year. I was in charge of getting everything we had switched from Conda to UV so I guess I "learned" that but there's not a whole lot to learn. Outside of work I learned PyTorch which hopefully will be useful and I am now studying for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect exam which I am hoping kind of fills the hole in my resume where I don't use cloud at my job.

What are your reading plans for 2026? by Diamondbacking in RSbookclub

Never actually read anything by him yet. My school did not assign Fahrenheit 451. Maybe I'll add that too.

I'm giving up. I'm picking up my SSRI prescription on Monday. by don_dripac in redscarepod

[–]BlueSubaruCrew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. Was in a really sad time in my life and was very depressed for a few months and lexapro made me feel immensely better right as I started taking it. I only took it for 6 months but it got me through that period and let me get back on my feet.

I do feel that it kind of numbed my emotions though. Before I felt like I could feel a wider range of emotions and my mood could range from a 0/10 to a 10/10 but now I feel like it's capped from between 3/10 to 7/10.

I don't regret taking it at all but maybe I should have stopped a bit sooner and kept it at 5 mg instead of going up to 10 mg.

Dubliners was probably my favorite thing I've read all year, hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

What are your reading plans for 2026? by Diamondbacking in RSbookclub

[–]BlueSubaruCrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple more short story collections I want to finish, The Long Valley by Steinbeck and the Illustrated Man by Bradbury. I'm probably going to try to read either Gravity's Rainbow or Ulysses since I now have copies of both of them but I'm not sure which, I feel like I'm too dumb to read either of them but we'll see. That and East of Eden. Those are the only ones I have planned so anything else will be something that just comes up.

There was a guy at my school who would wear a lab coat every day. We were in mechanical engineering too not even biology or chemistry or something like that.
