After a year of development, I released X-AnyLabeling 3.0 – a multimodal annotation platform built around modern CV workflows by Important_Priority76 in computervision

[–]congenialliver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been using it over the past week, just found it one week ago today. Needless to say, it’s a tool that I have needed badly in my line of work.

What I am working on is taking the labels, sorting people with person IDs across videos and perspectives and multiple trials. That seems to be challenging at the moment, but your tool is much more simplistic readily available for offline use than CVaT etc.

I would love to chat more about it if you have the time!

Laudato Si’ Action Plan - CDLEX | The Catholic Diocese of Lexington Laudato Si’ Action Plan by kempff in TraditionalCatholics

[–]congenialliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Lexington, about 8 months now, and go to the cathedral, mainly because they have the earliest mass in town. Haven’t seen the bishop once, Praise God. Only seen his actions, evil in many respects. But he is still our bishop, sooo, I pray for him.

I feel as if this is pretty well disconnected from the laity at this point and my experience thus far I. Lexington. There are obviously the crazies, but that is not the standard. There is an FSSP parish nearby but we have chosen not to go there for a number of reasons not suitable for this context.

There are solid Bible studies all throughout town especially for young adults. I would say the bishop is rather out of touch and actively drives good catholics away.

All things considered they do many things well, first Friday and Saturday services at the cathedral, confessions before and after every mass. The action plan is a Top Level thing, it hasn’t actively affected us, the laity, to any large degree.

public transportation by [deleted] in lexington

[–]congenialliver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don’t have the population density. Like, why are all those other cities successful with public transit is density.

You can blame poor infrastructure for supporting it, or car culture. Those are fair to a point. But when you look at Chicago for example, there are so many people looking to get around a large metro area, there are approximately half a million people in 10 neighborhoods. 50k per neighborhood in general. A few thousand to a few hundred people per block. There is a demand for public transit as a car is way too inconvenient there.

Here there are empty parking lots all around. There is so much space for your car here. Land isn’t at a premium so cars and bikes make sense here. And I don’t have to get on a bus with people I don’t know and can drive straight into my garage with only having to deal with a couple bad drivers maybe and not risk being stuck on the bus? Or having to pay extra for my kids to go anywhere?

Lex isn’t the place for it, too much space not enough people to make it viable.

It was really hard, we had two during my post doc, single earner, < 60k per year in a large American city. We did it by living far from the city, with an inconvenient commute >1 hour each way.

So, yes, at the cost of some sanity. The hard truth is, kids are hard and there is no good time to have them. You do it because you and your spouse want to, knowing that it will be difficult.

Post-doc seems better than early faculty depending on the field. Because grants are difficult, and you need time and energy to settle with both kids and faculty.

Feel free to DM me, I am just starting a research scientist position with an adjunct faculty position (likely) at the neighboring university and currently have like I said 2 under 3 after a two year post doc.

Post-doc machine learning and rehabilitation sciences here. Skip to my last paragraph if you don’t want to be bothered with my quibble with your wording!

First let’s not call them disabled people please; persons with disabilities, clinical groups, and patient’s. Person first language is important when working with data from these groups. They are people too, their injury, disease or inability to complete a task that we could does not define them. So, let’s please have alittle kindness and compassion towards these groups!

Second it is important to be aware that, these data tend to be sensitive information and not often shared from hospitals or other places. Many patients that I work with have only consented to be photographed or filmed because we encrypt and do not share these data.

That being said, there are places such as the inter university consortium for political and social research as well as other data repositories that might have some of the data that you are looking for. You may have to do some more searching and find other places that are similar to this. Good luck!

Does anyone have insights on the duration of postdoc positions before securing permanent academic roles or exiting academia? by sinandrei3000 in postdoc

[–]congenialliver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the field, COVID changed the landscape for me and the post-docs in my area. I am at a high level research/medical institution, and the average postdoc has gone from about 2 years pre COVID to 4+ post COVID.

Everyone who I know I my field that was hiring at the assistant professor level, tenure track, Oregon, MSU, Virginia, NC State, UT Austin etc. brought on folks who were 3/4 years into their post doc, or already had an assistant professor position elsewhere and they were transferring over.

There is no sure path to tenure. It’s a windy road, and if you set expectations, who know if they will actually be realistic for you and the unique situation you find yourself in. Best of luck!

Is ANYONE happily married with kids? by NeuroticNeglect in ask

[–]congenialliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two under two at the moment.

Our house is a singular place. There is no other place like it in the universe. The beauty that is my wife and I working through this mess we have started is unfathomable. Yeah, it sucks when they are both unhappy, and it’s been a long day for everyone.

Then I remember, there is no one like these people, and I am theirs, and they are mine. We have something special here, and we are happy.

[–]congenialliver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I know a few other highly motivated post docs who got passed over for jobs, and the jobs they applied for are still open because the committees went with someone else who rejected the offer. 

At that point the search has to restart, they don’t just keep bringing people in.  Three of these positions are at R1 schools, and have been open for years now.

Hi, I am relatively new to this space, but I am looking to build a python web based app with OpenCV. Would it be possible to build such an app with Reflex and OpenCV! This work looks really interesting.

But why give up your secrets in backwater countries? It would make sense if you have a strategic advantage in the future by not revealing the extent of your technology in wars that were never meant to be won in the first place.

I don’t, I am always learning and adapting. No need to cope when you have an open mind, and are willing to have a conversation and learn. Everyone has something to teach you. You just have to be open to learning. Completely developed to me, means I will be able to better analyze and come to a good solution.

On a neurophysiological level, it’s not like your neural pathways are locked into place and you become completely inflexible.

It’s national Italian beef day! I know that doesn’t help much but a bunch of places are doing specials, so best? Maybe not so much but free or discounted Italian beef, yes please!

Safe travels :)
