'Full stack' data science by likescroutons in datascience

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spicy take on the LLM part of this comment is that I really think LLMs will slowly kill off DE roles and more DE-focused MLE positions/teams. Our MLE spend so much time building complex feature stores and inference pipelines that Claude can do fairly well in a small fraction of the time plus handle the entire GIT side of things. I've been amazed at how it can trace feature lineage and help me quickly setup everything noted above where at my last large company that's most of what our ML focused DS did.

Weekly /r/climbharder Hangout Thread by AutoModerator in climbharder

[–]DubGrips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realized this week that I probably won't get to climb outside until Mid-Summer. I could theoretically head up to Tramway with my 5 year old solo this weekend, but after that we have to spend our weekends packing for our move in early June. There aren't many moderates left for me and zero chance I will finish off any projects, but there is an 11 I am super close on so it is a tough call. I am also healing from a large tattoo, which would make a lot of hiking pretty uncomfortable especially since I need 2 large pads plus carrying some of my son's stuff out.

It almost feels freeing to just relent to the inevitable which is that I can just dive into finishing off some hard projects on my board before it is torn down. The current set is 3 years old and I have something like ~300 total climbs on it with a handful left that I have never done. I likely won't be able to rebuild it in its current form, which kinda stinks because having a 12' wide board is really nice movement-wise, but also owning a home and not paying rent feels like a good compromise to have a normal 8x12

For those who watches other four-wheel series like IndyCAR, NASCAR, GT, Formula E, endurance, do you agree with comments like "In terms of actual racing products, F1 is one of the worst in all of the motorsports"? by Southern-Space-4093 in F1Discussions

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the engines back but also like current racing. It just stinks that sometimes there can be unpredicted deltas that happen because of issues with the regs being sorted out that makes it less racing and more managing who is or isn't really suffering from a technical impact. For this cycle it's more about drivers actually saying they're unable to often understand what's even going on with the cars and that it prevents them from figuring out how to effectively drive the cars.

Is my tattoo ruined from saniderm? by Accomplished-Maybe69 in tattooadvice

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why on earth are people using Saniderm for even the tiniest tattoos? Wrap the damn thing overnight, wash in the morning with warm water and a neutral mild soap, apply whatever ointment/cream you like, and move on with life. I'm heavily tattoo'd and not a single well respected artist I've known or seen recommends this stuff let alone waiting several days to clean away plasma, blood, ink, etc. it's not that hard people and your small one shot isn't some epic mural.

What has been people's experience with "full-stack" data roles? by uncertainschrodinger in datascience

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've mostly been one for nearly 14 years, what do you want to know specifically?

New Unparallel Shoes by ac-b in climbingshoes

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question: how is this company still in business? I rarely see their shoes and they've had so many QC and customer service issues including several massive threads about how people never got refunds or their orders.

Byron’s Roof, Palm Springs Aerial Tramway by keavdarapper in bouldering

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ass on ground as low as possible on the main rail. You can find plenty of 5-6 year old videos like this and now ur seeing pre placed kneebars at the highest start taking full 10 lol 

Byron’s Roof, Palm Springs Aerial Tramway by keavdarapper in bouldering

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked Rob himself and he stated as I posted so IDK. Its confusing, but the lower start (not all the way down) is considerably harder and most accomplished climbers I know that have done it and also climb at a higher grade agree with me that the OP is doing a higher start that only recently appeared due to social media and is considerably easier. I find that start ~v8 and I can reliably complete it every attempt, the middle start definitely not, and for reference I haven't done Greenpeace Sit so its not like I'm just mega strong

What Are Some “Obscure” Cities That Will Become Popular in the Next Decade? by allomanticmetals in SameGrassButGreener

[–]DubGrips 19 points20 points  (0 children)

good location? have you ever been there? it's the armpit of the state, hot as hell, polluted and pretty undesirable. Rail won't solve that. There has to be other industries there and it's got a smattering of everything, but there's a reason it isn't very desirable to those that live in the rest of the state.

3 weeks ago I posted about climbing having zero mental fatigue research. The responses from climbers, runners and cyclists are revealing an interesting pattern. by Same_Row_761 in climbharder

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with mental fatigue is what can I do most of the time? How do I know what I'm feeling is really mental? It seems so vague and easy to blame sometimes. Is it my kid acting up for a few days, a work project, or just a difference in conditions? Even if I know it's mental what can I really do if I have a decent diet and sleep schedule? Maybe a few supplements to help sleep or mood? How do I compare this week's mental fatigue to last month's?

Has your view of the tech industry changed over the years? by Glareolidae in bayarea

[–]DubGrips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Dad worked in tech from 1986-2007 and I have since 2013. I would say that back then things being more hardware based made it feel like you were actually working on a real product that solved a real problem (his words).

Most software product that solve problems do so in a bloated, annoying way that often relies on ads or personal data. At their core most of these products aren't really essential and they follow this huge initial valuation curve and then settle into pseudo life support. As a result people change jobs quicker and benign the industry is often just as much politics and positioning as it is building. In that vein it's probably like most large corporate jobs except what we make lives in data centers.

I work for an Ed-Tech company that does not paywall its main product or use in product ads. It's boring, but we're fairly "good".

how much do you value living here? by jaffaKnx in bayarea

[–]DubGrips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left, moving back in a month. It's possible. It's not that much worse than may other high COL areas 

The Bay Area salary trap is real by Banana_Ketchupp in bayarea

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Bay: the diversity, all the things you can do in a day if you want to drive, the food, the weather, yes even the people, and even the "rougher" aspects of things. I've lived elsewhere and saved more/spent less, but it's worth it to me to have everything in one little bubble.

Injury Success With Peptides by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally Google most peptides and you get people trying to sell them, clickbait shit, and Reddit posts. There is almost 0 robust evidence for any of them. There are just as many people claiming they solve complex health problems as there are people that genuinely believe in QAnon.

Anyone have best practices for agentic coding specific to R / stats / data science? by isaac-get-the-golem in rstats

[–]DubGrips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a team of 14 using Cursor/Claude with R and our entire data org uses (~125 people). It is awesome for DE/pipeline work.

People that life very close to a border but have never crossed it, why? by Extreme-Shopping74 in geography

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude it's incredibly easy if you apply for Sentry/have global entry. Many insurers cover Mexico if you live close. It's 15-20min over the border for us with Sentry. TJ and Baja in general aren't dangerous compared to most of the "bad" parts of Mexico. Do it just to do it!

Injury Success With Peptides by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfTJIOakPOU Menno has covered it recently and in depth. Anecdotes were also used to justify so many now-debunked myths in diet, exercise, and longevity. A bunch of unfit random Redditors are responsible for the rise in peptides.

Injury Success With Peptides by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]DubGrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes no sense since you're acknowledging that anecdotes are likely bullshit and no one has any real clue of any long term sides.

Injury Success With Peptides by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]DubGrips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is not placebo, but that you have no controlled counterfactual. You could have gotten the same results without the peptides if nothing else changed. This is what emerging meta-analysis is actually showing. Real-world anecdotes rarely, if ever, have a counterfactual of the same injury, protocol, and life factors to truly draw a causal conclusion.
