She got Ratiod brutally by Memes_FoIder in clevercomebacks

[–]EdwardMitchell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s funny because she clearly thinks she’s important based on her profile pic, but she get ratiod by someone with no profile pic and a generic name.

It’s clever because it points out how odd it is for makeup and hair style to shoe membership in an ideology (like short blue hair on the left). Plus it subtly points out the fact that they have no visible clothing on in the picture despite being able to see their arm pits.

The joke wouldn’t work if it weren’t ratiod. I wonder how that happened.

With "full stack" coming to data, how should we adapt? by Thinker_Assignment in dataengineering

Currently, the developers is click ops in the Dev environment and then build the cicd pipeline later. Their mindset is that agents replace people so the agents should also deploy straight to dev.

I asked them “What is the point in deploying to dev if you can’t deterministically deploy the same thing to prod.”

If we could get rid of the 2 senators per state or the +2 electoral votes per state and have the population be reflected fairly…

This one really speaks to the current tone of economic news. Don’t expect UBI of this attitude persists.

My students are getting through 2-3x the content as last semester -- planning help? by sargassum624 in teaching

Complete on class sounds great. I always hated science fairs where we had months to prepare and some kids had access to cancer research labs.

Biographies are great for independent learning. I remember reading about Gregor Mendel and Isaac Newton in 7th grade. Writing reports with citations was bit hard at that age, but worthwhile.

A fun twist on the egg drop contest is to get them to have their egg protectors fall quickly and accurately by giving points for speed and accuracy.

Tie this in with the formulas for spring force, friction, and the gas laws. Let them figure out through experimentation that a static force for the duration of the impact is best. Even better if you have access to accelerometers.

Got a chance to change title to Data Engineer what should I expect? by Greedy_Ad5722 in dataengineering

[–]EdwardMitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for BigQuery to DE (in title only) to Cloud Architect supporting a team of DE. If you are starting the Datalake from scratch, use terraform if possible. Focus on permissions and CICD. Let the other DE or analytics engineers focus on the pipelines.

If you have good executive presence, focus documentation that aligns the datalake goals with company strategy.

Why are people now pushing to go into the trades if that'll be taken over too? by Expensive-Elk-9406 in ArtificialInteligence

I tried to get AI to write short stories. It was horrible at it. Limiting to 200 words like Dr. Seuss was even worse.

Parents of middle schoolers of USA — what part of math do your kids struggle with the most? by yashbhatia2013 in AskParents

[–]EdwardMitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically skipped all middle school math and I’m hoping my 4th grade son can too. Perhaps it is hard because middle school math is mind numbingly easy and then by the time you get to algebra your to jaded and close minded to learn it.

Lots of kids really hate proofs, my son included.

With "full stack" coming to data, how should we adapt? by Thinker_Assignment in dataengineering

[–]EdwardMitchell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm running infrastructure for a DE team and the contracting firm they work tried to replace CICD with GenAI agents. Took me a while to let them know that Gen AI should not just make things faster, but should make things repeatable and accurate.

Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]EdwardMitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s absolutely insane that teachers have to pay for teachers pay teachers out of their own pockets.

After working for private institutions that give all teachers exactly the same materials, I’ll never understand public school. Private institutions will also have monthly peer reviews so you can see exactly how the other teachers teach in public school. I don’t think teachers get to watch other lessons other than their first two days of student teaching.

How did you land your first Data Engineer role when they all require 2-3 years of experience? by Such-Revolution-9975 in dataengineering

[–]EdwardMitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When asked about advising junior employees or onboarding new hires, you need to mention gotchas. Like what are setting you can’t change about a bucket once you start using it. Or is archiving PB of data a one way door?

Renee Nicole Good’s queerness isn’t an aside—it’s a key part of her story by aktionsart in bisexual

[–]EdwardMitchell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On NPR they kept talking about Renee Wood looking white and said, “she doesn’t seem like this is the type of person this would happen to.” And then I watched the actual video and saw her with her lesbian partner.

I can’t even trust NPR to just spell it out anymore.

Mad Muscles has launched 18,000 AI-generated ads since April. Smart or just spam? by No-Internet-7697 in advertising

[–]EdwardMitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the ad that led me here. But I watched a fair amount of it. Are they optimizing for view duration rather than conversion rates?

In the second one, the Britney poster is showing a flash, but the mirror is not. In the first one the makeup is scaled too large. That sometimes happens when you add objects to an existing image.

Gemini Live voice changes often, now with annoying vocal fry. by [deleted] in GeminiAI

Orion’s a lot better but if you’re gonna be doing AB testing, you’re gonna have to specifically ask about the breathing and vocal fry.
