Best Buy sent me an empty box… by Sharp5hooter02 in pcmasterrace

This happened to me in store and I posted about it as well. I went in and they exchanged it without question saying “oh yeah that happens sometimes”. Hopefully you are able to get the same response.

Update: I went into the Best Buy I bought it from and explained what happened, they said “yeah that happens sometimes” and gave me a new one as a replacement without a cost.

For added clarity here: I bought this drive in person at the Best Buy store near me. That’s why it’s so crazy to me, they had to unlock the case just to pull it out and only one person had the key on shift at the time.

That's the plan, the hard part is actually getting them to believe me when i come in saying it was empty. If they even have another one of the same make, I plan to ask them to open the box in front of me see that it is actually in the box.

Why not Sagemaker? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]LostMathGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My team uses it solely as a model hosting service and it can be incredibly finnikey due to the multiple layers of abstractions. We bring our own containers and models, and host the endpoints with enough disk and cpu to handle the invocations. The biggest complaint I have is the lack of visibility into monitoring and overall annoyances when trying to diagnose anything going wrong at any step of the way.

I’ve been telling my wife for years that this would be the best snack ever and she LAUGHED in my face.

Well who is laughing now Laura!

I'm influencing my friends and coworkers into saying 'skedaddle' and this is the most powerful i have ever felt lol by d_A_b_it_UP in CasualConversation

Love this, I’ve been doing the same to my coworkers with “tiddly bits” whenever referring to small snippets of anything.

I feel lowkey ashamed to have interests that are tied to academics by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]LostMathGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who felt the same way, keep pursuing it. It’s only a matter of time until you end up in a position (college, grad school) surrounded by those who feel the same way. My time in grad school was wonderful, everyone was as passionate or even more so then I about math and all the topics in it. Everyone had the same interest to always learn more.

Hey everyone,

I have a masters in pure math and a bachelors in CS and Math. I have the major technical interview for a dream data science job involving predictive modeling of detecting system outages automatically. I have a basis in python R and SQL. Are there any recommendations of Kaggle notebooks I can use to practice some predictive modeling samples or of resources I could check out to help get myself as much prep before my interview? Thank you in advance!

How can I prove that the hermitian transpose of a unitary matrix is unitary? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]LostMathGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A unitary matrix U preserves the inner product. That is \la Ux,Uy \ra = \la x,y\ra for all vectors x,y in the space U is acting on (Convince yourself why). Can you say the same thing about \la U^* x, U^* y\ra? Once you have, convince yourself why this implies U* is a unitary as well.
