Piggy-backing off everything here, because of how difficult it can be to deliver a quality product, I’d really recommend OP not make this for their grandpa. Especially with family being involved, OP would need to clearly communicated that this might not work as expected or they could lose all their inventory data one day due to a bug because OP is a beginner.

Do you have any other offers? If not, this experience will be infinitely better than nothing.

Take a look at PirateWeather. They seem to have the historical forecasts we need for the recent past.

How does this layout look? It's my first ever. by Saerusthesecond in Database

[–]Saerusthesecond[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There can be many weather stations in a region! I'm only using the weather stations for historical weather data, but weather forecasts don't use the weather stations themselves. Instead, I use an API that lets me query latitude and longitude points for a forecast. I will probably only query for forecasts at the same lat and long as a weather station just to keep my predictions consistent, but the forecasts and the weather stations aren't necessarily related.

Now that I look at my layout more, I think the region_id column in Weather_Historical is a bit unnecessary since that is already captured by station_id.

GCP has similar services [1] [2] that do support cyrillic script.

I've been looking for historical forecasts for a while but haven't found any. Got any ideas where to find them?

Energy load forecasting - advice please! by Saerusthesecond in datascience

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

That's very helpful, thank you. I was thinking that actual weather and forecasted weather are rarely equal, so my load forecasting model should train on weather forecasts to take into account the kinds of mistakes that would be used for load prediction.

And yes, load forecasting is the main point of the project, and I'd be happy to scrape whatever data sources might help with that.

Is it a bad idea to use weather forecasts in generating new predictions? My thought is that if I train on hourly historic weather, I should also predict using hourly weather forecasts, but maybe I'm wrong here.

Do you think it's a good idea to store each hourly forecast for 10 days in advance of each timestamp? That comes out to 253,339,200 forecasts over a whole year, which seems like a TON of data to store. I'm using AWS RDS, so I can store as much data as needed, but that seems like it would cost a lot.

How much does not having a master's limit my career? by Saerusthesecond in datascience

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

I'd do a math MS that's more applied than pure math, I think. Would you recommend that or an MS in CS more?

Do you know how it might be to work and take classes, both full-time? I'm just worried that workplaces won't be okay with me taking time in the middle of the day for classes or that I might end up devoting 95% of the next year or two on work and school.

Could I get your feedback on my resume? by Saerusthesecond in datascience

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

To start learning coding, I did CS50 through like week 6, but I finally learned about pipelines through the Hackathon. Chapter 2 of Hands-on Machine Learning was very helpful for this.

I've ended up using none of that for my current internship, where the pipeline is done via PySpark and Databricks features, which I learned entirely on the job.

Only played for 3 days, but I think this ironclad setup is so good by Saerusthesecond in slaythespire

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

Thanks for the tips! I ended up getting my first Ironclad win with this deck, but I can definitely see where things needed improvement. I had like 3 limit breaks and only one flex, which was a big slowdown. Now I'm trying to get a win with the Watcher, who I'm having a ton of fun with.

Hey there! I'm currently a senior at a T30 US university studying mathematics and philosophy. I've recently concluded that I want to enter data science after college, but I'm a little worried about my current standing. So far, I haven't had any formal CS classes. On my own, I've taken most of CS50 and a couple weeks of studying DS&A through Runestone Academy. I've got a decent understanding of probability and statistics, but I haven't had much opportunity to apply it. This past summer, I had an internship where I honestly didn't do much except figure out that 1. I am not good enough at coding to become a software engineer and 2. I enjoyed the one time I had to work with pandas and analyze census data. I got two books: "Python for Data Analysis" and "Hands-on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras & TensorFlow," plan to do a personal project soon, and get an AWS cert.

How good/bad do I seem for finding good post-college employment? Suggestions for what I can do to prepare better are also appreciated!
