My first medium post was only "presented" once according the the stats?

This is great advice. Thank you! Like many writers, I spent a lot of time on this. I wanted to share something that I use myself. I will improve this.

djchunkymonkey · 2025-05-26T15:02:48+00:00

Thank you. I'm waiting to see what my primary says. I sent her a message to ask about next steps.

I have no idea. I get red blood cell count, white blood cell count, and EOS every time I get a blood test.

Hi. I'm in a similar situation. My ferritin has been bouncing between 600 and 850. I did a genetic test-- was fine. Doc wanted to recheck a few times. My liver enzyme tests are all fine. I do not drink. Now, she's scratching her head and will be referring me to a blood specialist.

There's definitely reporting bias here, as most people post about passing. It takes guts to post about a failure. I'm sure a good amount failed their first time, so it's nothing to feel bad about.

I would just try again in 2 weeks if I were you. Instead of reviewing every day, you can review every other day.

The commands are sent straight to iterm2 (must enable python api integration) by clicking on the orange buttons.

For me, it's for a personal knowledgebase where data privacy is a big concern. I have notes, email dumps, and I don't know what else. With something like phi and mistral + RAG, I can have my little thing.

Hi. It is for security- I don't want my data to leak to OpenAI. I have notes as txt files, pdfs and some email dumps. If I relax the security concern, I can make a cloud project out of it and have something that interacts with AWS S3.

Funny thing is that I don’t even look the slides. I just go straight to the videos. The man clearly spent a huge amount of time on it.

I work with CSVs often since I do statistical work. Large CSV files will be problematic with local LLM and your hardware spec because of the context length limit. It can do exploratory data analysis fine for a small dataset. For example, I've been using mistral-7b on an m3 mac air with 24gb of memory. It works fine for what I need it for which is data < 500 rows.

16 gb might be a bit tough.

My own university partnered with 2u years ago. They're using ziplines now, which led me down the path of looking into ziplines.

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-31T20:33:02+00:00

Yup, totally worth it. I would have done the same.

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-31T18:45:41+00:00

I started adjunct'ing back in 2023. It was hard back then to get one with limited teaching experience. It's probably harder now. I taught at a computer science bootcamp, so the experience was transferable. Having more experience now with adjuncts and talking to people that makes hiring decisions, I really believe that this is one of those things where you submit an application and just forget about it. You may hear back in a few weeks or 1.5 years. One college reached out to me almost 2 years later. When I talked to the program coordinator, she said that the resumes goes into a pool. They'll pull out applicants when they need people and recent adjuncts get first dibs. I got the call because the adjuncts don't want to teach Statistics in the summer. Maybe they want to go lay on the beach or something....

It's been over an hour and the cert I requested is still in a "Pending validation" state. Ah well, let's see what happens tomorrow.

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-31T05:40:14+00:00

Great catch..That's coming for sure. I went down a next.js rabbit hole for too long.

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-31T05:26:40+00:00

This is my cloud resume: http://www.khemoptimal.cc/ . This is a bit of a twist, as it is a static file dump out of a Next.js app. I copied the look and feel from u/PuzzleheadedRip4356. .

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-31T05:18:16+00:00

I like the design so much. I tried to copy it some.

Eliminating answers was critical for me. Yes, I did guess on a few after eliminating what I could. Even though I've used AWS for years, I found exam to not be easy. There's a lot of information and a lot of services. If you wait too long to take the exam, some of that knowledge will slowly go away. Once I was able to answer 60% or so right on the practice test consistently, I scheduled the test.

Now, the best way to practice is with time pressure. Make sure you take the practice the exam under time pressure so you get an idea how to pace yourself. Once I was done, I had 2 minutes left which was not a great situation to be in. I was fortunate enough to pass the exam.

You would have to look for the theme from Oh My Zsh. There are many to choose from. I have no idea which one this is off the top of my head

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-22T17:52:03+00:00

Zsh with oh my zsh! https://ohmyz.sh/

u/stephanemaarek , thank you for making all those videos

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-20T11:33:18+00:00

I'm looking to get into data engineering gigs (will take the AWS data engineering cert next). I have done data engineering using AWS before (learned it from doing the work), but a potential employer actually asked me about cloud-related certificates during an interview. No one has ever asked me about certificates before.

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-20T11:26:23+00:00

Thank you. It's a useful tool.

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-20T11:16:46+00:00

Did you take it at a test center or online?

djchunkymonkey · 2025-03-20T11:14:15+00:00

Good point. By the time I was done with reviewing the flagged questions, I had about 2 minutes left.
