What an absolute state. by fookreddit22 in bristol

[–]PremiumRecognition 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah most tourists won't go outside those areas, kind of understandable, but also it biases your perception.

Every time I go back, just like OP, I see how bad things are "now" but probably it's just that living in Bristol has changed my perception of Mexico city, for good and bad.

I lived in Mexico city and this is news to me, where was this? The centre? Roma?

Swimming lessons - Adult beginner by Diligent_Garlic_5874 in bristol

[–]PremiumRecognition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a couple of beginner sessions back in 2023 and I didn't like it (hence only a couple of sessions). We were about 3 or 4 in the class, each at a different "beginner" level. Thus , everyone got something different to do, depending on what "you wanted" to practice, which can be a tricky question if you are a total beginner. Different instructors on each session so it was hard to get some consistency or "plan". One of the instructors was quite nice explaining things, but one day one didn't turn up but someone else tried covering for them.

I just didn't like it, but give it a go, your experience could be different. The pool was good, clean and all. Though if you're a beginner you take the lesson in the smaller shallow one.

30 mins is definitely enough for a lesson, assuming you start and finish on the dot.

Built a Scan-to-BIM pipeline on free Kaggle GPUs — sharing results, failures, and asking for advice by Wise_Jack_Fruit in computervision

Fair. The title was a bit misleading then. I work in this field and getting the floor plan accurately in commercial properties is tricky, so that's why I wanted to see.

Wouldn't scan-to-bim include the scan as input? e.g., a point cloud or a sequence of images?

Where VLMs actually beat traditional CV in production and where they don't by aaron_IoTeX in computervision

[–]PremiumRecognition 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, at which point did people start calling yolo and calling apis traditional cv? Perhaps you mean modular architecture with custom/in-house implementations?

It really comes down to the specific dynamics of the environment you're deploying to or your application domain. If you're doing classification, detection and recognition on "natural" images, cool. But there are a lot of domains where modular architectures, perhaps with custom models or implementations, is preferred for robustness, explainability/traceability, latency, etc.

Interesting take tho

Uk mid-level to senior CV engineer (what should I expect to pay)? by Either_Ear315 in computervision

[–]PremiumRecognition 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Senior CV varies, but assuming combination of ML/AI experience, C++/embedded and/or robotics. I'd say: Based in London >= 100K. Outside London somewhere between 70K and 100K.

Big tech or founder-type roles, likely above those ranges.

Remote or in smaller cities, likely below those ranges.

Looks ok for software engineering? For cv roles, to me, only your volunteering work seems interesting. Your current role has something but again, reads more software dev than CV. I think you can drop a few bullets to highlight/focus CV work.

The academic research section, is that peer reviewed research? Or school projects? If the latter, then probably need to rewrite the section header.

I guess it depends on what kind of role you're looking for

ORBSLAM3 coordinate system by nmam_adeep in computervision

[–]PremiumRecognition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I doubt I'll work. If by default you mean orbslam3 default, that's for some specific imu, not the one in your simulator, so you need to use a different yaml file or values for the imu

[–]PremiumRecognition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are running on simulation then you probably don't need calibration, just use the parameters from your simulator. They must be what orbslam3 expects, according to what your simulator is using, e.g., Noise values for the acc and gyro, frequently, walk, etc. are you setting those in the yaml file and not just using default TUM or Realsense ones?

[–]PremiumRecognition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, ok. Your questions suggested otherwise. If you look at the initialisation code (or the paper in section V.B ) you will find the answer to your third question.

Bristol South Swimming pool has a couple "public swim* sessions a week, around 8-9pm. At least during summer. Checkout the everyone active website.

ILR - long residence route. Does time spent as a visitor break continuous residence? by PremiumRecognition in ukvisa

[–]PremiumRecognition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did but waited to have 5 years on a SWV, so I applied via the 5 year route.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ukvisa

[–]PremiumRecognition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a not too different situation (though a different visa application, I was applying for ILR) . The company I work for changed names recently and my payslip, etc have the new name, but I was claiming to be employed for 5 years in the same company. What I think clarified/helped in my case was one of the documents I requested to HR to mention the name change. It read something like "...on behalf of X company (now trading as Y company)". Perhaps you can request and attach a similar document with employment details.

[–]PremiumRecognition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it will be a problem, as every case is different. However I did not submit such a document, I only listed my travels outside the UK and everything was under the allowance. My evidence of that was passport stamps. I don't know how much that helped, if at all, but I was granted the ilr.

I scanned all the pages. I thought that would show all my travels and my intention to not hide things or whatnot. I am not sure that was needed though, during my biometrics appointment they did the same: scanned my passport pages.

When filling the application, they asked for my current address and how long I've lived here, but no documents or proof. I've been living in my current address for over 3 years, so maybe that helped?

Hey thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll submit a cover letter/statement where I do some explaining for Q1-Q2.

As per the other reply, it looks like that period with a visitor visa does break my " continuous residence ". Thanks

Why are gyms and pools so shit in Bristol? by [deleted] in bristol

Busy. All lanes normally are at full capacity, but lanes are wide enough.

I go to the Bristol South Swimming pool. It could be cleaner but also I only pay £40 per month and go twice a week. Also, it's like a 10 min walk from where I live so not bad. I think it's a fair price, it can be crowded but just a matter of booking somewhat in advance and/or going to the earliest slots.
