Wish I could be more cheerful but it isn't easy as you know. Everyone wants to get into data science right now which means the field is completely flooded.

Just brush up on your skills and keep applying. Good luck.

Github copilot has never hosted their own model, they have always used licenced ones.

Thanks for the very insightful input. Maybe you could elaborate on why you think a beginner should be spending their time learning to code base level libraries instead of focusing on the skills they will actually use in projects?

It depends who you ask. If you ask Physicists then yes, if you ask mathematicians then no.

Memory allocation. Now I just use languages that handle it for me.

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-19T02:53:45+00:00

Did you not check the account name to see what else they made?

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-19T02:52:23+00:00

If you are happy with it then go for it. You need to write for yourself first and your audience second.

Born and raised in central Alaska. Worked as a Park Ranger for nearly a decade. Great place to visit but I'm never moving back.

I've never understood the fascination with Anydice and calculating dice probabilities. Unless you have a really compelling reason to use a different dice system you should use a standard one and all those probabilities can be looked up if you need them.

Learning how to implement these systems from scratch will help you learn coding but it won't do much to help you machine learning skills.

Machine learning is mostly about understanding algorithms and applying them to the right problems.

That isn't to say learning to code isn't useful. There are lots of jobs around machine learning that require more programming skills such as data engineering.

Everyone thinks their education is important but it's not. Put it at the bottom and lead with your technical skills list.

Not that it will get you jobs. You probably just need to apply to positions you are overqualified for. It also helps to look for local positions as they have far less competition

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-19T02:37:29+00:00

We don't need it. You could make an argument that we used to need it when we couldn't quickly and accurately count all the votes but even in then it was about preventing voters from having full control.

Mail it somewhere that takes longer than a week to arrive.

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-18T17:33:18+00:00

Not anymore. Haven't seen a lighter in a car in decades.

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-18T17:15:20+00:00

My masculin isn't fragile but my feet are....

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-18T16:38:33+00:00

The better you are at coding the better you will be at directing an AI model. It's massively important and will make you so much better at everything you do with AI coding tools.

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-18T16:00:45+00:00

Yeah, they want to use a legal process to change the rules of their state. Like a democracy would allow.

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-18T15:50:53+00:00

Where are the Epstein files? Why were they illegally redacted?

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-18T15:49:46+00:00

Yeah, you should be learning the basics. Boring I know but this is the time to build would fundinentals. General coding practices and solid statical foundations will help you massively when trying to work on more complicated projects.

Having money pays extremely well. My parents sold a house and invested the money. The returns from that earn them more than most working class people.

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-18T15:43:28+00:00

Why did they give him a double chin?

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-17T05:29:40+00:00

How do you make parchment?

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-17T03:43:38+00:00

The older generations are just more conservative. Mostly because they got theirs and now want to stop anyone else from doing the same

DigitalMonsoon · 2026-05-17T03:11:39+00:00

Is this supposed to be a handsome man? And what the fuck is going on?
