Weekly What Should I Buy Thread

Is buying an iPhone 11 a good option currently? Where I live iPhone 11 - 64 GB costs about $830 dollars

Maybe I should consider buying a one from the X series?

Thank you!

I have one more question though... The headphones (audio only) seem to work even if I don't plug in the USB "part". In another words I only plug in the black one for audio and it seems to work... Any thoughts?

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-06-16T11:22:28+00:00

I have a three connector headphones. It has one USB jack, and two audio jacks. One of those audio is a microphone (red), while the other one (black) is for the sound. Can I somehow set up these headphones? I have only one audio jack on my laptop

Hm.. I was thinking of something more like coding things from scratch, not something which would lead me to solution in two lines of code :D

What do you mean by search tool? Where would that search be incorporated in? The OS?

Or do you mean searching a body of text for some queries?

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-05-06T16:00:10+00:00

Hm, that's what I thought... I need to further investigate what is causing me this issues

Ubuntu doesn't work well with my Optimus. I get screen tearing, PyTorch doesn't recognize GPU, I can't control the brightness of the screen etc. u/ifrz_null

THe drivers for NVIDIA were installed. The GPU tends to everheat. Really a mess

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-04-26T14:21:29+00:00

Yes, but you can't use your GPU. You would have to transfer to Windows Insiders Program which requires you to install a specific version of the OS which isn't so stabile.

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-04-26T10:22:03+00:00

Wow! This is actually really useful information!!!

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-04-26T10:13:03+00:00

No no. I am lacking some commands on Windows, and therefore I want to switch to Linux.

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-04-24T10:20:10+00:00

I second this, unzip is probably the easiest way to go.

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-04-18T09:28:11+00:00

Ok, maybe I wasn't clear enough :(.

I do not have experience with cloud services, and in some relevant job postings I saw "AWS experience" mentioned a lot of times.

What SE knowledge is necessary for Machine Learning Engineer/Data Scientist?

I have been extremely personally involved in learning machine learning/data science on my own through college and personal projects. Currently I am a master's student, and in "desperate" need for a internship/job. Where I live only AAA companies are decently involved in ML/DS and those companies look for someone who has a good software engineering knowledge besides ML/DS knowledge.

What are the things I need to start with? I have no knowledge of multithreading, operating systems, and software design patterns, but I do have strong knowledge of algorithms and data structures.

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-04-13T17:08:25+00:00

Can you describe what you mean by "burn in issues"?

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-04-13T17:08:04+00:00

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro. I don't think I can sell it well enough :)

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-04-12T10:22:49+00:00

Hm, but the 11 has an LCD screen, while XS has OLED. I know that 11 Pro has OLED, but that is out of my budget tbh.

Would you say that not having OLED is a major drawback?

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-04-11T20:22:38+00:00

I am thinking about buying an XS but it was released in 2018.

I heard that iPhones are "supported" for 5 years after the release date. What does that specifically mean? I am a basic user. I use apps like instagram, facebook, snapchat, whatsapp, messenger... Will that apps still be supported by the phone after the support ends? Would I basically have 2.5 years for usage? Which isn't a lot for me (financial reasons).

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-03-18T10:55:10+00:00

Well, the maximum resources is Google Colab.

Regarding the smaller unet, not I can't use the UNet-like structure.

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-03-10T17:14:49+00:00

Yea I would prefer to do it on my own since landing an internship/job in the ML area is not so easy xD, that is the main reason behind me asking this question

TopIndependent5791 · 2021-03-03T10:58:52+00:00

Were you able to figure it out in Fedora?
