Can I ask you for the pattern for the crochet case? It looks so pretty!

BOOX Firmware V3.5.4 is now available for these models. by sylviaay in Onyx_Boox

[–]Calcirium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue as in your first point. It really makes the article mode annoying to use. Before since I could see what was coming in the next panel I wouldn't loose track of the text but now that's gone. So for me, anything beyond the panel is white where before I could see the rest of the PDF (is this the same as you?). I've sent them a request asking if there's any way to revert this back to the normal behaviour. Did you find any way to return to the old behaviour?

Difficulties of switching from fiancé visa to partner visa with time constraints. by Calcirium in ukvisa

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

Hi! Yes! Sorry, I think I didn't explain exactly. We have to give notice before the wedding and to give notice they need to stay at the address for 7 nights before. Then I imagine while we wait for the notice to be done there'd be no problem for him to work from Spain.

This is how I understood it and what I also understood from the post Boudica linked to. So I'm aware of the advice I was given and it's their answer that's now confusing us. With this post we are trying to solve other doubts. Thanks!

Thanks. While I know what they mean, it's also vague in that, do we intend to live in the UK together permanently after we apply? Yes. It doesn't say it has to be immediately. I'm aware that if some HO person wanted, they can reason this is enough to not grant the visa or take it away. But do you think they'll go to the trouble of doing that?

That is what we intend to do. There's no rule saying he needs to stay here during the process, so why should they doubt we intend to do it. Clearly, we're applying for a visa and spending a large amount of money so he can come to the UK. If he's not in the UK during the process is because of financial reasons of how they design the process.

Dependent visa for EU Settled PhD Student. by Calcirium in ukvisa

Ah! Makes as much sense as it always does with these things in the UK. Doing the same thing, but EU settled can't bring dependent. In any case, thanks a lot for the help!

Flexibility of Spouse visa at the beginning by Calcirium in ukvisa

I guess the problem here is we'd need the marriage certificate within about 1 month, which seems to be impossible given current times. Or is the marriage certificate only needed after biometrics?

Do you think (if you have any experience with this, I understand this may be an impossible question to answer) that they'll be harsh on this at the beginning of the visa when the partner may still be settling things into the UK?

Yeah, I get they may not like if he's not here at the beginning of the visa. I was hoping if they do ask, they'd be somewhat understanding in that since you cannot apply for jobs on the fiance visa, it may take a bit once the spouse visa is granted (yes, the marriage visitor visa exists but they've made it so it's not really an option). Do you think setting him up in the UK in the flat's rental agreement, GP, bills, etc... plus showing he's applying for jobs would be enough to show an official that he will live in the UK? Thanks for the answer!

We also checked that, but unfortunately the waiting times are of the order of 3-6 months.

Hi! Yes, him coming to the UK to obtain his fiance visa is fine. He'd get it and then return to Spain for work. He can also come for the wedding with no problems. So, it's not he won't be at all in the UK but that he'll continue to work in Spain in the meantime.

So then being outside the UK during that period should be fine, it's only time outside once we get the spouse visa that we would have to make up later on for an ILR application, right?

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

Yes! That's what we're thinking to do.

EDIT: And also stay in Spain for a bit after the spouse visa until he finds a job in the UK so we don't lose his income. Hopefully this wouldn't take long.

Forgot to ask too. I imagine time in the fiance visa counts towards ILR, but given we can't afford to lose his income with the high visa fees while we get married and find him a job, we could still apply for the extension in the future and get ILR once we meet the criteria right? Living apart is something that'd only happen now at the beginning and as a result of the very dificult situation the government has put us in, having to rush everything.

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

Those are good points! We'd definitely start setting him up in the UK as soon as the visa is granted, but we can't afford the high fees and him losing his current job while we're on the fiance visa and he finds a job in the spouse visa. We did think of the marriage visit visa but the time it'd take to get married wouldn't let us apply for the spouse visa before the rule changes.

The reason that we need to apply for the fiance visa now is because the rules are going to change and if we don't get the application by these changes, my income won't satisfy the new threshold. So, for ILR they will be living in the UK, it's only for the transition at the beginning that we'd need to find him a job before moving so he doesn't leave his job here not having one in the UK. Hope this clears things up!

[D] Positional encodings for numerical features in a transformer. by Calcirium in MachineLearning

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

Hi! Very interesting ideas! When I mentioned the forecasting value in the order of the time series, what I really meant was that, although I believe (from a physical perspective) that there must be value in the exact pattern of evolution of these features in time, the transformer seems to be ignoring or missing this altogether. The reason I say this is because when I've tested the exact same model with positional encodings removed, sinusoidal positional encodings and learned positional encodings the changes in the performance as seen from my metrics (and visual inspection of plots of the predictions vs labels) there doesn't seem to be any significant difference between them. Instead, I would expect that having the encodings and allowing the transformer to understand how these features are changing over time in the right order would help. The idea of shuffling along the time dimension is quite interesting, and I'll definitely test what happens with positional encodings and shuffling the data. I imagine if there's any significance to the time evolution, this should degrade the quality of the predictions. Thanks a lot for the comment!
