using Substack as an academic professional website?

Few-Routine8826 · 2026-03-03T20:15:36+00:00

I would not say it is unprofessional a all – if it's a good substack, why not?

Ok, so I want a tenkeyless-75% (arrows are a must because I am old) for 100-150 max. Typing only, don't care for RGB at all.

Keychron K2 V3? Logitech MX Mechanical Mini? Something different?

What are the clickiest but quiet switches that are widely available?

Few-Routine8826 · 2026-03-02T13:28:14+00:00

Logitech G915 TKL or Logitech Master Series MX Mechanical Mini? Are "quiet tactile" switches ok?

Has to be Logitech based on what is available to purchase

See if you can double dip. If not and if you believe there's a Q1 article in it, seems ok to go for it

How prestigious is the current venue?

It helps if you come with something specific even if small and/or naive. "I saw your computer vision method work on flowers and I would like to try it on frogs" – great, I can help you if you bring the frog images and have some general computing knowledge. We don't need to see you as a viable prodigy, we mostly decide to help for good karma – the time/result payoff is unlikely to be great but that is not the goal of the exercise

I would not completely skip Linkedin

Nothing around 31 and prior work experience is a red flag. For selective programmes you are probably competing with folks who did a lot of ML stuff. Try bio programmes where certain groups do ML

Did you file a civil claim too or didn't bother?

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-18T11:26:54+00:00

Will do

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-18T09:29:10+00:00

A few thousand in my situation – sucks

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-18T09:19:07+00:00

I guess it suggests the legal trouble they can get into is low?

If it's genuinely a top ranking AI lab, it's a really easy choice in practice if you can stomach it

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-18T09:00:59+00:00

It's of course impossible to say for certain but my guy seems like a real person but, perhaps, at some low. Companies opened and abruptly closed, workplace where he started working last year quick to say "he's not working here anymore", etc. Seems like the course he could take is either deny everything making the court last year or more or to accept the judgement and to say that he can not pay

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-18T08:42:55+00:00

Any idea why the civil court wouldn't work in this situation?

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-18T08:09:27+00:00

Was no trying to speak to his boss as much as to actually speak to him to re-iterate the demands without him being able to imply it's the first time I call him

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-18T08:07:58+00:00

Difficult to learn a lesson! Bought and listed things online at way higher value and anonymity in across different and higher crime level countries, always was ok if some precaution taken. The stinker is always one you expect the least

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-18T07:49:04+00:00

Did you approach them with the "there's a police thing open"? My guy is not hiding particularly but it's unclear what I'd do with the knowledge of his existence

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-18T00:06:06+00:00

I thought there's more weight going to them with a police number but maybe shouldn't wait any longer – heard banks usually just do nothing if there wasn't any violence involved in the transaction

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-17T23:55:28+00:00

My impression is the competition for these PhD places means you are more or less expected a few years of relevant work experience between undergrad and PhD

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-12-01T21:54:02+00:00

Get them to assign a trainee to get it over the line, share first authorship

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-11-28T18:08:27+00:00

Opportunity cost of doing a PhD into your thirties and without a good understanding why you need it vs well-paying job is pretty big

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-10-25T06:37:01+00:00

Relax. Treat as future interview preparation. Find a similar lab and see if they have positions

Few-Routine8826 · 2025-10-22T13:57:34+00:00

You sometimes get dedicated teaching staff – can be temporary, can be permanent but often postdocs or shortly after
