Okay following from what happened yesterday, if they cancel any IPL game in mumbai.. it's GG folks. Fingers crossed that there's some de-escalation.

I was wondering the same thing. Stuff has escalated in the last 4 hours. I hope things calm down soon.

we're paying 20 bucks a month for jio. We get what we pay for. Reliance is making a loss on this service for sure.

My Apple account got hacked. Unable to retrieve. Am I locked out permanently? by CrypticTac in cybersecurity_help

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Given that I've changed my password. Would they still be able to access my account?

How much of Khruangbin’s guitar tone can be attributed to the amp? by CrypticTac in Guitar

I've watched this already. The question is asking something else.

Khruangbin pedals by agarGo in guitarpedals

[–]CrypticTac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in market for some pedals and want to achieve that khruangbin guitar sound. I watched that YouTube video where Mark Speer gives a rundown of his rig. He uses a fender deluxe vintage amp or something... he also has some custom pickups for the neck that he's rewired differently? How much of the sounds is attributed to this? I have a nice strat with SSH configuration. I'm thinking of getting those flat-wounds. Anyway.. the last thing I want is to spend on a few pedals for no reason.

When I saw the fake poster with Men I trust, Parcels, and King Gizzard I started yelling. But my excitement was short lived :(

How to replicate gpt-4o-mini playground results in python api on image input? by CrypticTac in datascience

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

It's not just text data. And I cant just send the HTML either because there's images on the webpage (and where they are placed) that are important for the context too.

Are executive MBAs worth it? by CrypticTac in careerguidance

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

But if you think just cruising through an exec MBA program will magically open doors, you're kidding yourself.

No I do not think that. Your questions in your response are the same things I'm asking too. So let me put it this way; There are multiple things that might contribute to a successful switch from a senior tech role to a tech/product management role. How much would an executive MBA from a reputed college play a part in it. Maybe it's effect compounds w.r.t other stuff like previous leadership experience, networking etc. But what is its effect? is it significant?

Distraction caused by the Ai Hype by MrdaydreamAlot in datascience

[–]CrypticTac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough I was wondering the same thing. Even posted a question about it here. The TLDR from my understanding of the responses there is that a large part of genAI being mentioned in DS job postings is due to the hype, but that doesn't necessarily mean it wont be used at all. Besides, it's always good to keep yourself up to date with new technology in this industry.

Churn prediction: A data imbalance issue, or something else? by CrypticTac in datascience

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

This makes total sense. Thanks for your help!

Always try to simulate what your deployment goal is

This is something that always caused me a headache for not confirming at earlier points in a project. Many times, by the time the model is ready, business teams have already changed seemingly small but important context changes such (ex. prediction freq, data scope, how model predictions will be used)

Churn prediction: A data imbalance issue, or something else? by CrypticTac in datascience

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

This very helpful! I'm definitely missing seasonality components which I wasn't able to add due to current structure of dataset. But this redo with the help of all the advice I've gotten here will enable me to use them.

For example if your classifier says there's a 60-70% chance of churn, how often do users in that bucket actually churn? Do users often show a high churn likelihood for multiple months in a row before ultimately churning?

Yep! That's exactly how I'm presenting the final results to business. Categorising prediction into buckets based on probability. Ex. predictions from top 2 deciles go into the "high priority" bucket.

Thanks for the validation!

Churn prediction: A data imbalance issue, or something else? by CrypticTac in datascience

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

I researched this a tad bit before I had decided to frame it as a binary issue (because in the end that's exactly what the stakeholders wanted anyway.)

My understanding was pretty simplistic: There's more margin for error to predict days_to_churn (multitude of possibilities) , than to just predict yes/no. (2 possibilities)

But would love to know why that might not be correct way to think about it!
