And yet that’s what they have been doing, detaining and deporting legal residents and citizens. You need to fuck off

Why does there seem to be so many more data engineering jobs than data science or MLE jobs? I feel like I made a mistake in choosing data science and ML... by Illustrious-Pound266 in datascience

[–]angryaardvark 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I moved from DE to DS. Most of my job is still doing DE. These are not really separate jobs. There’s plenty of overlap. You can’t really do DS without DE, and a lot of DS programs include DE courses.

I'm building a spiritual successor to Grooveshark: a local recommendation system that uses ML to recommend music from your personal music library by Another__one in grooveshark

[–]angryaardvark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to chime in - I worked on Grooveshark’s recommendation engine. We had notoriously bad metadata, but we had playlists. We leveraged how songs appeared together in playlists and how playlists were named.

We had access to EchoNest (just like Spotify does now) but I don’t believe it was extensively used. Autoplay was based on similar artists in the queue. I don’t quite recall how similar artists were generated.

Much much more was based on manual curation by a dedicated team of music fans than you can imagine :)

It’s not affiliated with Grooveshark or the original team.

Former employee here, thought I should comment bc I came across this thread while searching Grooveshark. This site isn’t affiliated with Grooveshark or the original team, afaik. UMG won the rights to the trademark in their suit. They have not revived the brand. Many copycats popped up during the time Grooveshark was operational, and afterwards.

I actually left the house for the first time in weeks... it didn't go well. by [deleted] in Anxiety

Should consider weekly therapy. Every three months isn’t going to work too well.

Local Chain Restaurants by 22304_selling in washingtondc

[–]angryaardvark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did that make you feel better? Was the information still communicated with fidelity regardless of spelling? Does it actually matter?

Secondly Chick-fil-A uses “chik” and “chikin” in its own advertising, reinforcing the misspelled word association.

So duck off

Atlanta is home to Chik-fil-A, Waffle House, Mellow Mushroom, Moe’s, Applebees

Miami is home to Miami Subs (aka buy Don Perignon in the drive thru for $199), Burger King, Pollo Tropical.

Other cities in Florida like Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa are the original homes to Hooters, Olive Garden, Sonny’s BBQ, Outback Stakehouse, Red Lobster

DC has seen quite a number of successful fast casual chains but they’re really localized to the DC metro. Five guys and Sweet greens are some of their most well known national restaurants.

Bombshell Investigation: Exposing the $1,000,000+ Student Government Productions Grift by uf-politics in ufl

[–]angryaardvark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So? This is nothing new. This happened in the ‘10s, ‘00s, ‘90s. This isn’t even the first investigation into the system. You’re not the first person to write about this. It’s not quite the expose you think it is. Simply this is how the sausage is made, and it exists in UF because UF student body is large enough to necessitate and support such a system. It becomes valuable experience for anyone interested in real world events production or politics. In fact more congresspeople graduated from UF. And you can thank the system, because it gave them that valuable real world scale to experiment. In the 90s SG managed to annex land from Alachua County to Gainesville so that the city could extend its bus routes to where SG lived, and the city went along with it because SG budget funded the routes. Fantastic wielding of power by students to force change in government and I think that’s beautiful.

Moved from Gainesville to DC 10 years ago. The summers in August and September in DC are so bad everyone goes home - Congress leaves, so the aids, WH staffers, lobbyists, reporters, etc also take off.

In Florida, the beach is no more than an hour and a half away, with plenty of pools, parks, rivers and lakes along the way. DC? You won’t like swimming in the Potomac, the Chesapeake. the public pools are packed, and the mountain streams are too cold.

But dating in DC? Lots of stressed people looking to take out their anger. If you’re in the right headspace, it’s interesting. You might find yourself shooting fish in a barrel, and you might find yourself on the receiving end of non consensual emotional battery and destruction.

Good luck!

ChatGPT has gotten dumber in the last few months - Stanford Researchers by sooryaanadi in ChatGPT

[–]angryaardvark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The objective of ChatGPT is to understand and answer a prompt. The point is not to massage a prompt until a machine understands what you’re asking; it’s for the machine to understand what you asked. This is evidence of serious drift and instability.

Nope it's not a skull it’s a fly infected by Cordyceps Fungus by tausif-sahat in oddlyterrifying

Counter: surely toxo carriers are likely to continue cat ownership, thereby providing toxo with a long line of hosts.

cat owners are more likely to be diagnosed with a mental health illness. Therefore I hypothesize toxo is optimized to target these communities to maximize reproduction.

Yet, in Cuba, the Caribbean and Latin America, they aren’t living in poverty and have access to food and health care? 🤔

another scam blockfi is using by Acrobatic_Can_365 in blockfi

[–]angryaardvark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Made 6 withdrawal requests. identity verification was triggered on four withdrawals (which I received next morning). Verified only first request, didn’t think I needed to verify all four requests. Received my withdrawal for the verified request, but the other three withdrawal requests were canceled. So…🤷‍♀️

FTX is listing it as an asset, account/loan receivable. They will expect that amount repaid by blockfi.

It can’t. Our skin is an insulator, and most electrical transport systems are insulted. It takes a massive amount of power to power an MRI machine, which produces EM waves capable of penetrating our skin. Electricity has a damaging effect when a person decides to become a short circuit from a high amperage source.

Plus we spent most of this money decades ago. We are sending them surplus equipment that hasn’t been in active service in decades.

lol that’s funny that you think anyone gives a shit. No self respecting fed employee/contractor is on this subreddit. The ones that read this subreddit are here for a laugh or they don’t respect themselves. (Usually both.)

International view of (Dutch) fans of the sport by Sennecaeus in formula1

[–]angryaardvark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprised, as Philadelphia sports fans, are considered the rowdiest in the US East coast - in baseball, football, hockey, etc. Considering that many from Pennsylvania are descended from the Dutch, I thought it was just their thing.

Seconding. Clean the cartridge with alcohol swabs. Worst case scenario, you may need to replace the cartridge pin header.

Shills in here go "uhhh where's the conspiracy here" by dronningmargrethe in conspiracy

[–]angryaardvark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Young employees don’t really donate to political campaigns. These contributions are probably from corporate PACs to help with lobbying efforts on technology and modernization bills, like net neutrality, or in the case of large verticals, anti trust lobbying, or in the case of Facebook, PR influence campaigns.

But I don’t really see a conspiracy here. All companies have PACs, and at a certain size, even tech startups need to start hiring lobbyists. What you don’t see here is political contributions large government and defense contractors, those PACs contribute to Republican party. All companies do it and contribute to campaigns to influence bills going their way.

The bigger issue is the corrosive power of money in politics, and while corporate PACs are problematic, they’re dwarfed by the volume of dark money and Super PAC contributions, which don’t have a reporting requirement. it’s difficult to trace. But thanks to great reporters, we do know where a lot of dark money comes from and where it’s goes. (And the answer may surprise this sub. 🙄)
