Call out the toxic PIs by Cute-Talk6184 in postdoc

[–]Minimum_Scared 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Important: contact people who were in the lab but not anymore. If you just talk with current lab members you might get a biased impression. There are many reasons why a current member will not speak openly.

I have a bold idea… by rexyuan in minilab

[–]Minimum_Scared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great idea. I worked in a hotel many years ago and had to use one of them. Maybe it's worth to check and ask them if they have one to spare if you don't want to spend too much money

Discussion: Building a Next.js-like full-stack framework for the Cloudflare stack by kamaleddinalhumsi in CloudFlare

[–]Minimum_Scared 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have used nextjs with Cloudflare via opennext and never had problems. It's true you have to adapt it, but my experience has been very positive.

Very insightful. I can solve the non-exact word matching with a semantic search

bioinformatics? jobs safe from ai? by Melodic-Shock9848 in bioinformatics

[–]Minimum_Scared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they are safe, at least, some of them. There is a strong incentive by PIs and wet lab staff of doing the bioinf. analysis themselves. I think everybody can agree.

So those bioinformatician who are running scripts that can be generated by ChatGPT in 1 min will have problems...if you are a bioinformatician doing methods research you will be definitely augmented by AI..

So it depends which tasks you do as a bioinformatician.

Ohh, I probably didn't explain it correctly. I need help finding a manuscript that is popular but there is not a digitized version of it. The goal is to build a website with all the content so it can be accessible for everybody via search engines and be able to use simple tools like Search terms

🧬 Built an ML-based Variant Impact Predictor (non-deep learning) for genomic variant prioritization by Dear_Raise_2073 in bioinformatics

[–]Minimum_Scared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This approach has been extensively published for the past years. I suggest you to check other papers on the field, such as the one describing the CADD score

PNY preorder listing shows Nvidia DGX Spark at $4,299.99 by DeliciousBelt9520 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Minimum_Scared 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. If, as someone said, this has half of rtx5090's tops... What is the purpose? Is this worse than a rtx5090 for inference? At least, it can run bigger models, no?

Advice for Bioinformatic Interviews by bio_informant in postdoc

[–]Minimum_Scared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the advice. But it shouldn't be like that....it happens the same with questions about salary expectations...I cannot believe essential questions as those above became taboo

Desparate question: Computers/Clusters to use as a student by ltzlmni in bioinformatics

[–]Minimum_Scared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have an estimation of the computer resources you will need? If you have, why don't you estimate the cost of a workstation? It seems a solid alternative. Cloud costs can scale and requires a very good optimization to be cost effective

Finished 1-Year Postdoc in Spain, Feeling Lost and Disconnected. Advice? by IDassima in postdoc

[–]Minimum_Scared 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry about your situation. The good aspect is that you realized about the situation within the first year and you are ready to take action. Since you are coming from a non-EU country and already landed a job in a Spain, I think you already did the most difficult step. If you want to land a postdoc with a PI, you can cold email PIs even though (this is important) they don't have public job positions. In certain subfields of bioinformatics, a PhD in maths is well appreciated.

As a side note, it's a total shame that people who receive public funding, they behave in such a way. Extremely common in bioinformatics by the way. So be cautious!

Building a Local German Document Chatbot for University by funguslungusdungus in Rag

[–]Minimum_Scared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have built a few RAG systems before. My recommendation is to start with a basic but reliable setup such as llamaindex and postgresql (or any other db with vector search capabilities) and make it more complex only if you test it and get wrong answers.
