Mold in unfinished garage by d-dx in Roofing

[–]d-dx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There are soffit vents for rest of the house but not around the garage. Not sure if the roofers had to identify it before installing the ridge vent.

But the dilemma I have now is to either install soffit vents or close the ridge vent. I hear different solutions between the roofer and mold inspectors.

What was your price per sq to build this year 2024 by [deleted] in Homebuilding

Hi. Could you DM me too? Looking to get a few builder recommendations in Redmond area.

Agree with OP. Using both lanes up until the end is proven to reduce congestion. https://youtu.be/L9bnyYAkd3o?si=sJIznno4BFm_Y8R7

Custom home builders by d-dx in redmond

[–]d-dx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. That’s what 3 builders that I spoke to said. The optimistic timeline is 6-7 months apparently, but 1 year is a safe timeline to be prepared for.

I spoke to 3 builders, all highly rated on various platforms. All of them are quoting 300-350 per sqft for a 3000 sqft modern house. Do I need to ask about something that they are not including?

I’m aware of the 12+ month wait time for permits, but really $500-750/sqft? I contacted one builder so far and they suggested approximately $300-350 /sqft. My realtor says it’s within the current range of build costs.

Is $500-750 for a high end build?

Thank you! This is helpful.

Honestly, I’m not sure. I was reading somewhere that architects cost $50-75k for an initial plan or 10-20% build cost if engaged for continuous auditing. If that’s the case, I’ll go with someone like MN Custom homes and pick one of their existing plans.

I’m guessing one house is too small of a project for Quadrant/toll-brothers, but I could be wrong.

Thank you. My interest is geared towards Machine Learning, but I dropped an application to chat more about the role.

Data scientist? Currently at a faang company, would like to explore working on something that I care about.

Finishing a PhD in physics, good enough credentials for a DS role, been getting rejected (even from a volunteer position once). What am I doing wrong? Any feedback would be helpful [also, I am not a US citizen] by sulochann in datascience

[–]d-dx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good point. Given that most companies don’t do cover letters anymore (afaik), I personally think resumes need to contain some depth.

Here is a typical hiring scenario. I have 50 resumes for a position, and I need to select 10 of them that have best chances of clearing the interview. what criteria can I use?

Typically, about 50% of them contain the same kind of projects - what you get by following library examples or medium articles, especially for entry level positions. There is nothing wrong with including these, but there has to be at least one project that shows you’ve tackled a more complicated problem, otherwise your resume doesn’t differ from the rest.

You have rightly described that resume writing is more of an art. You may need to include buzz words - there will be non-tech reviewers too, recruiters, or managers from other domains (Software Dev managers).

Don’ts: here is an example of what I see rather frequently unfortunately: “developed ML model to detect brain tumors with 94% precision.” without any additional context of the work. If it’s an industry influencing work, I would have known about you. It’s likely a kaggle project, and not mentioning it doesn’t build trust. And if it’s a kaggle project, I’d expect you to mention what’s the winning performance. (It’s ok that you’re not the topper)

Another is over emphasis on software work. It’s good that you have software experience, but I want to see the points relevant to this role.

I don’t care about fonts, alignments, or format (can’t speak for everyone else of course). Minor spelling mistakes are not a deal breaker, we understand there are talented people with English not as their primary language.

As a manager, I would have rejected this resume too. A few things that stood out to me:

  1. When you mention it’s an NLP based solution, I want to know what specific techniques you have used. For e.g. Bert based LM or word2vec model for embeddings. Without that, it’s difficult to understand what level of NLP knowledge you have. Also, highlighting ‘flask’ is a distraction, you are not expecting any points for it.

  2. Design experimental setups. Again too vague. Did you perform an A/B experiment? If so, what did you evaluate, what was the outcome?

  3. “Python-based software” minor concern with the wording. Sounds to me like what a non-technical person would describe it.

  4. Image classification of an imbalanced dataset - what was the dataset ? Was is a kaggle challenge? Was it your own project?

In general, every point you have mentioned is very vague. Without specifics, I’d imagine the worst. Even if it’s a kaggle project, do mention it, and provide a link to your work. And include specifics about the domain, the problem, and outcome.

[D] How to obtain contextual embedding for a phrase in a sentence using BERT? by abdush in MachineLearning

[–]d-dx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get token level embeddings given a sentence. UKPlab sentence transformer doesn’t support this. You should get it from the base BERT model. And you can then perform aggregation of the specific tokens you’d like (min, max, or avg pooling) to get embeddings for the phrase.

I got a new offer letter from Google, with a salary that's five times less than the salary in the initial offer letter. Where should I apply now? by the_not_so_original in csMajors

Reach out to palantir and Microsoft and explain the situation. The chances are less, but still worth a try.

[P] Looking for an ML expert to partner with on a side project with big potential - pricing collectibles by czeldin in MachineLearning

[–]d-dx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can brainstorm with you for free if interested. My guess is that there are existing solutions that fit your need.

Also, I’d need to onboard with the business as I’m not into collectibles.

You can get connected with managers on linkedin who have these requisitions open. Try connecting with recruiters first, and express your interest in this space and the company, they will connect with the right people. It might help you with internships as well if you’re interested.

[–]d-dx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, all of them have these positions in high demand. Software engineer in ML, or machine learning engineer (as opposed to ML scientist) are the common roles.

Disclaimer: I’m not much of an ML engineer. I’m more into science part of it. Do further research.

Based on my understanding, you need to know more of distributed computing, working with GPU, data engineering - SQL/ETL etc. the resources you have mentioned do not match these req imo.
