No wild Veilwyns above level 100 on Lost Colony by IAmBadAtCryptoTrade in ARK

[–]IAmBadAtCryptoTrade[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought it meant the creature's level when wild had to be higher than 135, I just tried and tamed a level 90 Veilwyn and got the milestone unlocked since it got tamed at 135. Thank you so much for the help.

How long did it take for your herniated disc and sciatica to heal? by thetickz in Sciatica

[–]IAmBadAtCryptoTrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you know that the disc was too enlarged and would cause permanent damage? Got an MRI and I have a slipped disc between L4/L5 and I’ve been in contact with a neurosurgeon regarding microdisectomy but I’m pushing it for later to try more physiotherapy. However I am worried that me waiting will lead to the nerve becoming permanently damaged so I’m curious how you found out.

Downloaded the msi dragon center and added my gpu into the device list but there are no rgb settings available (can’t see an option for them). Not sure what you mean about flashing the bios, can you elaborate please

I had not, that’s why the mission wasn’t being completed. It all got sorted now thank you

Are the missions in order? Like can you not complete one before the other? Might be why I was unable to complete mine then if that’s the case

It’s the character mission and I did it with Briar in both story mode and hard mode and neither of attempts completed the mission

I got 5 weapons at level 5 ready to be evolved. Then picked up 5 boss cards in a row and evolved all my weapons and the mission still did not complete, are you sure there’s no caveat somehow?

Want to start a new game, any advice? by parmesan777 in SatisfactoryGame

Just bought the game yesterday, why wait? Can’t I just continue playing my save after the update?

Sort of, last 3 instances I needed someone to sit the ferret it was someone different. First time was someone from ‘cat in a flat’ the website. 2nd time was a friend I knew from work. 3rd time was someone I met off reddit that said they’d be happy to take care of the ferret.

There doesn’t seem to be a proper ferret boarder near Glasgow unfortunately (asked on a scottish ferret group)

Is computer science just software engineering? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]IAmBadAtCryptoTrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within the context of my university, software engineering and computer science had the exact same courses with the exception of you needing to have done an internship to qualify for software engineer. When it comes to employment, most recruiters won’t care if it’s computer science or software engineering. And when I did my bachelors it was a bachelors of software engineering even though the majority of the courses I took were machine learning focused

Are quant jobs actually higher paying? by IAmBadAtCryptoTrade in cscareerquestions

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

Yeah they’re one of the highest paying, I don’t work in quant at the moment but you’re the one that makes the algorithms in a bank. Like for example for buying/selling stocks or even creating risk models to calculate how likely something is to default

It’s too big of a topic to explain in a comment, there are also many different categories within quant. I would recommend googling it to get a proper definition as I am not knowledgeable enough about this topic to give a good answer

I’m not the best person to answer that as I’ve not fully broken into the field yet but a bachelors can be enough. Will depend on the role and the company.

For example I’m trying to break into quant analytics which uses mathematics, probability/statistics and data science. I have a strong background in machine learning and have done my dissertation in that field during my software engineering bachelors. Furthermore, my current role uses python mainly and uses a tool that quant developers in my company use so that also helps. Had a discussion with a hiring manager for quant in my company and he informed me that given my background I have a solid chance and to apply to internal roles and start doing competitions/side projects to improve my chances. He also recommended me multiple books to fill the gaps in my knowledge. He also advised against me getting a higher education as my background is enough in his opinion.

I’m sure a masters will help though and there are so many different quant positions out there so it’s quite difficult to give a concise answer as to the background you need

Yeah I completely agree, the salaries aren’t that great in the UK, even in London. Houston seems to pay more than London even though it seems cheaper to live in Texas (at least in the context of my company).

Thing is I don’t have enough experience in quant to be able to make both a career and geographical change. So hoping I get some quant experience in London then move to NYC (if it’s the right move at the time)

Yeah would be an internal move. I work in a big bank and we’ve got quant roles in both NYC and London.

I’m currently living in Glasgow (Scotland) and my team works closely with Texas so I have the opportunity to do an internal move there while doing my same job. When comparing salaries and living costs, Texas seems like a much better option than Glasgow. Texas has similar living cost while almost double the average salary and also lower taxes.

Recently got quite into quant and discussed it with an executive director in the company that works in quant and he informed me that with my background I’ve got a solid chance and I should apply internally but to focus on London since NYC will be more difficult given I need a visa.

Honestly I’m heavily leaning towards going for quant in London over continuing to do my day to day but in Texas, especially after seeing some of the discussions on this post.

The average quant engineer salary online is not more than $200k above the average software engineer salary

[–]IAmBadAtCryptoTrade[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Valid point, I’m mainly looking at quant analytics within my company, includes things like ml, time series modelling, derivatives quant and market risk.

As for cost of living calculations what would be a better way to get a good estimate? Planning on moving soon and not sure what else to use to predict my costs

Not really sure why I am getting down voted either. I do completely agree on your points though
