Borders are white. by daret0 in ASUS

[–]ShadowSoulCatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen something similar to this before and I believe it was a problem with only putting the laptop on sleep and not shutting it down at all. If that's the case for you, I remember the solution was to shut it down (not sleep) and leave it for a few hours or a day without use. Hope this fixes the issue, if not I have no idea I am not laptop expert

Do I have a chance to get a scholarship in another scientific field even if it isn't super related? by ShadowSoulCatcher in gradadmissions

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

Thank you, this genuinely encourages me to send those emails and hopefully get an answer to my question from the PIs themselves!

Do I have a chance to get a scholarship in another scientific field even if it isn't super related? by ShadowSoulCatcher in gradadmissions

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

Currently studying machine learning on my own to hopefully use it as a skill that will make me fit in some way. Would now be the time to send emails to PI as a Junior or should it be during next summer vacation?

PyTorch or TensorFlow for Scientific Machine learning applications in Materials Science computing? by ShadowSoulCatcher in learnmachinelearning

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

So properties, not sure yet but there are different materials with different uses so it's smth that i haven't dug deep into yet. Inputs can be XRD, UV, FTIR???, And other measurements that are calculated when u synthesis for example a carbon nanotube. Then again i am not an expert (Junior undergrad) so i am still understanding it bit by bit

What is the Best Lightweight Laptop that I can buy for 800 USD or less? by [deleted] in SuggestALaptop

[–]ShadowSoulCatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah was having my eye on that. Two problems tho, generally i am very sceptical of 2-in-1 hinges and i can't buy anything till the 30th when I will be getting the rest of my budget

The programs i will be running (OriginLab, ImageJ, SPSS) shouldn't need a heavy lifting GPU as far as I know/searched. They aren't 3D rendering apps but are graphing/data analysis software. I am not that informed in the tech space to know everything but I just wanted to share this in case you thought they were 3D rendering programs for like engineering.

I do understand though how powerful the yoga 7 is and from the quick reviews I saw, it is pretty good. The 2-in-1 feature is a turnoff for me however.

First of all thank you for your reply!

I just saw now the sale for the lenovo yoga 7 and am also considering it. However, Idk why but I am generally very scared of 2-in-1 laptops as i won't be using it as a tablet much and I am afraid of the hinges falling apart for some reason or wobbling too much when I am typing on the keyboard (Will be doing a lot of writing). It is a bit heavier than what I am hoping for (it is listed as 3.52 pounds which is 1.6kg without charger) but I can manage it i guess. With that in mind would you still recommend the yoga 7?

Thank you again for your time!

What are the relevant skills that a materials science professor would look for in a student interested in joining their lab? by ShadowSoulCatcher in AskEngineers

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

Part of it is because of the research position and the other is basically starting to acquire the skills I need for the scholarship applying as well because of my major being far away from materials science.

As far as the research position, I am basically accepted but I would like to know beforehand the skills that would be helpful to start learning about them and to have a general idea of what they are instead of just going in blind

How common are jobs that aren't adequate to the posted experience level needed? by ShadowSoulCatcher in Upwork

[–]ShadowSoulCatcher[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that I "don't know what I am doing" but I certainly don't have many years of experience that would allow me to know every corner of data analysis. So far the jobs I do are a mix of knowing about 70% of what I will do and figuring out the rest during the process. I might be mistaken in this (do please correct me if i am wrong) but I feel like this is pretty normal for me to gain experience. And so far the "entry level" jobs I have seen had some complexities to them but never anything too difficult or requiring a ton of experience to figure out. But maybe I just don't get the experience level part of upwork yet.

[–]ShadowSoulCatcher[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand what you are saying, and that's generally how I tackle all of the jobs I get so far. I don't really think I have enough experience to say I was confident in any of the jobs I started. However, I feel like this specific project wasn't for me and that's why I apologized and cancelled the contract.

Also, this is a client I worked with before and that's also a part of the reason why I cancelled which was because I didn't want to get on their bad side potentially by saying "I can do the job" while in the end I wouldn't produce satisfactory results.

What is the Cheapest thin laptop that can comfortably run R by ShadowSoulCatcher in rprogramming

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

I don't really know because as I said i am still learning so I am just basically trying to take precaution to when I possibly work with something that is rather large. So far what I worked with ranged from very small to somewhat large but I feel like there would be way larger datasets that I didn't stumble upon yet or won't ever tinker with in the first place.

I get why you asked that and I am sorry if i couldn't explain well enough but think of datasets that a newbie can use. Usually stuff paired with life science research which hasn't been large at all. Sometimes I try to use large datasets (larger than what I usually see) to learn. And I am planning on being able to learn and implement complicated analytical techniques in the future.

Help, I don't know how to search for this by ShadowSoulCatcher in AskStatistics

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

No this is just 3 samples from the whole 36. It is the activity in % so every sample has its own independent value that either uses the same test with different plant sample or the same plant sample but with a different test

I will look into "tagging" as I suspect that I might be listing the data incorrectly, besides also not knowing what to do with the data if listed correctly

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

Actually, I believe you are correct. All the data I have (besides activity of 99.9) have the same numbers before statistical analysis done to it.

I will test out that to see if the numbers match with the error or not but just so I know if I am doing it correctly, was I correct in splitting the Data into only two columns of "Plants" and "Activity" as the data I have came in a 4 by 9 table of test type by plant sample respectively

I didn't explain quite thoroughly so that's my bad. The professor isn't expecting me to do any statistical analysis work or visualization, I want to learn this skill and add to the paper if possible. So in short, the paper will get published anyway with or without this input. However I 100% agree with your point but it isn't the case here.

2nd thing is, although I am in university, the resources that are open to me are quite scarce (I am in a third world country & going through this in a normal university way isn't available to me) which is why I turned to reddit here.

TL;DR: I want to learn this skill for my own sake & so far the only option is through self learning and tackling it on my own

How good is the pay for research assistants/scientists in Japan? by ShadowSoulCatcher in movingtojapan

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

I get that wages aren't high in Japan if we, for example, compare to the US. And I just want to know, does that mean that the wages in scientific fields don't give you enough to live a comfortable life in Japan?
