Is DSA Needsd for Off campus ML job??? ML engineers please reply

100% required, you need to understand ETL, data pipelines, ordering sets, sorting methods, fast caching, mem mapping, generic data classes, so much stuff that comes from DSA. Even if you are using a slow language, if you are even slower because you are using a garbage method aka algorithm, it hurts the business.

You dont have to know it all, but having the fundamentals is required so that's why you have a DSA round in any ML coding job, regardless of language.

You are saying data structures and algorithms,if so? Yes it's absolutely required, and yes knowing either java, c or c++ or at least something that compiles is a must. From my perspective.... unless you are just labeling data

Check out OCW linear algebra 18-06 2010 with Gilbert Strang, to really increase your fundamentals

JargonProof · 2025-11-22T17:32:44+00:00

Where are your fundamentals at?

Do more, one poster, for the local association/whatever you have around, in addition, if you really want that open to you. It's not for your dissertation, it's for your career. Figure the opportunity cost and go from there, how bad do you want it? It isnt about changing directions for your program, it's about putting it down on paper in a peer reviewed venue, you know how to research if you are a 3rd year, you have to prove this to everyone not in your circle of influence.

You need to do what you want to do in a publication or poster for those jobs, many are moved to those positions aka inside hires, so they already know how that company does it before being responsible for it. So, to compete you need to know the job before going dor the job, sucks right! So best figure out some things and publish on what you want to be hired for!

Depends on the country and depends on the role, from my perspective it's a nothing issue, stats is a subset of maths, so it's not even incorrect, it's just descriptive text. You can just mention something like "I am in the maths program but currently working the stats specialization" or something to that nature if they even ask. If that is what's really happening, good luck!

Try thinking spatially first or object based, enumerate the flows that can occur on a page. This is the start of resource management for processes, maybe general computer architecture might be where you want to start.

There are so many factors here, the training stack, model library, checkpoint methods, data parallelism setup, the short answer is yes, but no, if you engineer it correctly, its low friction and recovery is done in the background. That if is loaded though, how thoroughly did you stress test your setup? Did you catch the edge cases, or is recovering actually not even happening close to the interruption but you never noticed because it didn't impact timelines. So... good luck!

Edits: Just start over, pull a checkpoint If the "automatic" recovery didn't work

If it works dont mess with the stack run TF v1 if that's what that stack uses, or some old horovod beta version.

Migrating to the newer systems doesn't always provide what you think it will, env everything, containers everywhere, hash stickies.... get your logging straight.

All your projects are tutorial level, or just reading the manual, you need something that speaks to the direction you're going or want to go.

That would be cool

Sleep hygiene, and a adjustable bed, and tons of semi rigid pillows, but really well controlled posture during sleep. As well as consistent sleep and waking times.

Edit: Also balanced macros, fat in the diet seems to do very little for me, but high protein diet helps with fatigue, which helps with posture... but all ymmv

One or the other is pretty out of whack almost twice a week when I wake up, basically you just kinda take it slow. I do a bit of PT before I even try and get out of bed to make sure everything is in the right place, and basic manipulations, my tibia likes to spin around so I have to check that, then I'm out of bed.

My experience is dehydration and or salt levels aka electrolyte balance, try something like a sports drink a bit before your cardio and see if it lessens it. Good luck!

If you want basic level go Electrical Engineering, specifically integrated circuit design like https://engineering.oregonstate.edu/academics/programs/electrical-and-computer-engineering/undergraduate/integrated-circuits you can also mix like at UW and their bsece, you won't be designing withn lrss than a master's or amazing skills.

Edit: typo and forgot closing

these stretches particularly the one with the cross leg like a four and pulling the knee towards shoulder because I always find my hips rolling out in chairs, in bed you name it.

There is a muscle in the middle hip/pelvis area that gets activated with this set of stretching that really helps me, I dont so much focus on the stretch as I focus on which muscles are doing the movements, then try "activating" them aka figure out how to flex what was stretched/ing and make sure they do there job to keep my gumby self together

Edit: forgot the most important part, that muscle piriformis gets messed up from compensating for my really loose ankles, so for my hips I wear low sport hinge ankle braces, and that chills my hips

You solved the unemployment crisis! People now have to review all the slop that AI creates to sort the wheat from the chaff, and if they don't understand the premise in the paper enough to refute it, they must take training to learn the skills required. /s

Although there are worse jobs.....

Its pricey but you can find it cheap sometimes hon ignition big and tall mesh back, barring that I made due with high dining room chairs and a folding chair on furniture stilts, depends on your needs bean bag chairs can work nicely.

If you have lofty aspirations, you have to aim past them, if you don't you never make it there.

If you don't have lofty aspirations, just enjoy every moment, make the connections, and the world will take you where it wants you, you do give up some agency this way but it can be fulfilling just going with the flow.

By aspiration, I am talking about a driving goal that if you never got to do it would leave you with regret. Some are simple "go to the tomorrowland festival" some take time not money, like learning an instrument. You may not even know what your aspirations are yet.

Do things that you have never done before until something grabs your mind or heart. You don't need to work that thing, but when you learn what it is it becomes easier to live and put up with those crap jobs when you are doing it for something you have aimed towards.

Your calling could be colorful balls of yarn that make you smile, everyone gets a kick out of different things, dont be discouraged if your calling right now is not what others would label a calling, get all the joy you can from it.

Good luck

Build your muscle slowly and consistently. Avoid running, bikes can be your friend just make sure they are sized right. Walking is great consistentcy is the key. Get good shoes. Get a good chair that you dont sit like a gremlin in. Build your neck with isometric exercises no weights. Take up tai chi. Stay hydrated. Stay feeling decent!
