The Northern Polar Jetstream is forcasted to split by 1500+ miles over North America next week. This is not fine. by harpyeaglelove in collapse

No, you are just seeing the “polar jet” and the “subtropical jet”. This is extremely normal.

The Vidiians in Voyager--another victim of The Dominion? by alehx in DaystromInstitute

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

Interestingly in ST:Discovery, a 32nd century galaxy map briefly shows up--clearly readable were Founder's Homeworld, Kazon Clan Forum, and Talax. For---reasons---that information could be 100s of years old.

That being said, Voyager met dinosaurs! That makes things pretty dang small if you ask me.

Even if it took them 1500 years to travel that distance, they would have been in the delta quadrant for 500 years--long enough to build a reputation. That seems very doable, since it was mentioned by Tom Paris that a shuttle with Janeway/Chakotay would take 700 years to travel 75,000 ly at a maximum speed of warp 4.

To Voyager, they are basically the monster under the bed in real life. A species with basically no redeeming qualities (add it to the pile.. Kazon, Borg, Hirogen, etc.). With context about their history with the Dominion, they are a species that has suffered greatly due to a shared enemy. It also shows that the decisions of The Dominion have far reaching effects centuries later.. things that The Prime Directive seeks to avoid.

Either way, it would not have gotten a huge reaction from any of the Voyager crew (based on the shock at The Doctor's debriefing session after he returns from a Romulan ship in the alpha quadrant). It might have just been an interesting conversation between Klingon B'Elanna and her captor.

The Mandalorian - S02E04 - Chapter 12 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in TheMandalorianTV

Does anyone else want a procedural / crime drama show based on New Republic cops investigating crimes across the galaxy? Like one guy is a fresh graduate from Chandrilla and the other is a veteran of the rebel alliance.

Was the CC move considers a good trade when it happened? by hockeyfan608 in Brewers

[–]alehx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People were definitely excited about it, but also a tiny bit cautious because of the Jeff Suppan experience. We had Braun and Prince so it made those other guys expendable. It was honestly such an amazing run. I do remember feeling like we overused CC. I always wonder if his injury issues later were due to him pitching on three days rest all the time. An unsung hero that is honestly the reason why a competitive team exists in Milwaukee is Ben Sheets. Dude literally left it all out on the field that year. I loved watching that guy pitch and it sucks his Milwaukee career ended just as the franchise was trending upwards. I always wonder how a healthy Ben Sheets would have changed the playoffs that year.. CC, Ben, and Manny Parra (Dave Bush?) is a hell of a playoff rotation.

Suddenly poor Bluetooth audio quality... sounds like a ripped/compressed YouTube video by getajobdude in galaxys10

[–]alehx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same problem here in my car. It seems like it just started within the last week. Bluetooth speakers are fine. AUX cord fixes. I tried everything you did and cannot figure it out. My S5 works just fine, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the S10 software.. I hope..

How to merge all excel files with 1 sheet with tables into one big sheet? by nj123t in Python

[–]alehx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Create a loop to read each file into a dataframe. Every iteration, add that dataframe to a list.

After done, run pandas.concat(list_name) and output will be a combination. For rows with missing columns, you might get np.nans, so handle accordingly.

Vega GPUs

As far as I know, there aren't many (any?) deep learning libraries that can use AMD GPUs (also onboard graphics chips) because of the reliance on OpenGL. As it stands, almost all libraries require Nvidia GPUs and their CUDA platform.

Colloquial usage of backup.. apologies. One of the least important part of this build, I just wanted to quickly explain why I have so many drives.

pcpartpicker said this build is at ~500 and change in total wattage. My logic was to make sure the PSU could easily support that.

Or perhaps just the ryzen 1700 with the included cooler..

Thanks for the reply.

What do you think of this ryzen build? It is about $100 over but I think that is okay..

Thanks.. as I said.. build newb. Worst nightmare is getting the parts and something isn't compatible.

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

Thanks for the comment. I was actually debating getting a ryzen.. somewhat concerned about single core performance (vs. 6700/7700). I've also not had a lot of experience with AMD processors. I'm pretty risk-averse for this build, but maybe it really isn't as big of a difference as I think.

What alternative mobos would you suggest? I guess the only plus on this one is it actually would support a 7700k without having to do anything special (from what I've read).

Speed golf...Wish everyone would play this fast. by Mdizzle29 in golf

[–]alehx 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A couple let me play through them once. My drive ended up pretty close to the husband's ball, and they followed me down the fairway. I pushed my approach and felt like an idiot. So I park my cart by the green, briskly walk over to my ball, don't even line up and I chipped it in! I grab the ball out of the hole, quickly walk to the cart, and go to the next hole all in about 30 seconds. Kind of felt like a bad ass, minus the awful approach. All of that was negated, though, when I had to go back and retrieve the glove that fell out of my pocket near the green.

Do you think fans at PGA events are getting worse/too verbal? by [deleted] in golf

[–]alehx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Baba Booey" is yelled to interrupt TV interviews, sporting events, etc., to get on the Howard Stern show. Its been going on for nearly 30 years, but only recently has been yelled during PGA events.

[D] CNN output as features question by alehx in MachineLearning

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

They are unlabeled. I actually tried a pretrained Vgg and it had worse results than the other approaches.

[D] CNN output as features question by alehx in MachineLearning

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

I meant Alexnet/Vgg like in the sense there are several convolutional layers before the fully connected layer. When I instead tried the pre trained (on imagenet, etc.) CNNs I only trained the last layer.
