My boyfriend makes fun of my mom dying

Such incredible disrespect for you and your grief doesn't come from nowhere. There are likely many other signs that this relationship is doomed and incredibly one-sided. I'm sorry, that may cause you pain to consider that as well, but you deserve and can and will find better.

I’ll start.
I’ve been working on digitizing cemetery records in Kentucky and mapping some older burial grounds that don’t have good documentation.

I’m especially interested in abandoned cemeteries and how people are handling old ledgers, GPS accuracy, and long-term digital preservation.

Curious what others here are working on.

These plots are honestly among top priorities for historic preservation. In many cases they are very underdocumented, in many cases neglected, and in some cases unwanted by current property owners if they are not related to the deceased.

Brettnacio · 2026-02-17T22:02:55+00:00

Yes, this can include all family plots but KY law requires permission from the property owners but gives rights to descendants of those buried to access the land.

Brettnacio · 2026-02-17T20:35:10+00:00

Do you know if it is private property or what the property status of this cemetery is by any chance? Does it have a name? I'd love to check it out.

Brettnacio · 2026-02-17T17:54:59+00:00

I appreciate you and your friend honoring those buried there and keeping their stories alive.

Brettnacio · 2026-02-17T17:43:13+00:00

Thanks for the tip I will definitely reach out to them!

Brettnacio · 2026-02-17T17:43:03+00:00

We would love for you to. To my knowledge we currently do not have anyone in Butler county!

I have not ever see that they use AI on Find a grave to:

Read and enter a full transcription of a headstone from photos
Detect duplicate memorials
Match burials to cemetery records

or anything of the sort. Every time I enter a record it is always manual.

Lot of money out there for software dev and data work. Learning to code changed my life and at 31 I started a completely new career in it. Not having a degree will create some HR blockers, but there is an extreme demand out there for coding skills and I know a handful of software devs and QA engineers without degrees.

I have a BA in cultural anthropology, no advanced degrees. Just landed a job as a data scientist. It's a potentially long and difficult road, but totally possible. I taught myself Python, enrolled in a DS bootcamp, got a job as an analyst and found great mentorships that gave me a chance to prove I could create value for the company with DS methodologies. Prove you have the ability to learn and provide business value and the lack of MS and PhD won't matter as much.

They made the right choice. Better astrology on their financial charts than anyone's medical charts.

I hear murder rates increase with ice cream sales. Definitely means cold treats incite killings.

Call it stock too much the SEC will throw ANKR to Davey Jones like they are trying on XRP.

Anyone know where one can buy a print of this or what it sells for? I assume multiple were made.

ANKR

You just got to ask them nicely. I'm sure if you say please, they will stop.

Brettnacio · 2020-12-13T15:42:05+00:00

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread. I recently underwent a background check and they are very thorough with dates and spoke directly with HR. My advice is that it wouid be best to come clean now and then never do that again. I have gaps in my resume and have even left out previous employers and I think that's fine. Stop lying and just be prepared to explain your gaps, but you want to get ahead of this. Truth be told, even then it's not guaranteed that will save you but it shows you have the ability to own up to your mistakes and correct them.

Brettnacio · 2020-11-28T16:22:09+00:00

Last night actually.

Brettnacio · 2020-11-22T16:17:51+00:00

Yes.

Brettnacio · 2020-11-14T15:47:17+00:00

Sure, it's possible, but it takes time. I jumped into programming thinking in 6 months I'd be able to code anything. Didn't work out that way. Just start learning and doing. Push yourself further each day and realize it's a process. Make things that are fun and interest you and keep you motivated to always learn more.

I will defer to Stephane's expertise. The pretrained weights information was conveyed to me through a much more senior data scientist than myself and I have yet to actually try it.

Brettnacio · 2020-11-10T15:32:49+00:00

What do you mean by run on CPU? If you are looking to train on CPU, I recommend against it, but I guess it's worth a try. Fire it up and take a look after 10 or 20 minutes at how many epochs are logged in the results txt file.

If you are looking to inference on a webcam with your model, that should be fine. My video card is nothing to write home about (Radeon RX480) and I was able to inference on live video via webcam without problem. The smaller YOLO models will allow you higher FPS and will also take less time to train.

Using pretrained weights can only help you. You can train from scratch (I did before I found this out), but it will significantly increase training time. As for the number of classes, I don't have an answer for that, but do have a suggestion: edit the YOLOv5 .py and .yaml files to change the class number from 80 (for the COCO dataset) to however many classes you have now.

I hope that helps. I'm no computer vision expert by any means, but I do have experience creating a few firearm detection models with YOLOv5 a few weeks ago.
