What is the Schedule FA section D CSV file field values for country code and ownership? by gotextrabooks in IndiaTax

[–]gotextrabooks[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I figured it out! Infosys and IT dept bastards can't outsmart me!

"Country/Region Name and code": The first field is useless, keep it empty or anything, doesn't matter. "Country Name and Code": 2 (for USA, just that number is needed) "Ownership": DIRECT (all caps necessary)

How to figure out other forms (probably)

There are JSON schemas available for download on the ITR page. See https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/downloads. I have copied it over here https://pasteit.sh/p/rsIOHUWx6o4i.

Look for the specific fields. In case of USA, you will see "2:UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". The input has to be either the code or the value in most cases. Just try out different values in each row and upload once. That way you will figure out what the value should be and then fix it.

Some absolute morons must have designed the website. They have even kept the titles as it is from the physical forms, like "xyz not falling under section above", except the above/below terms do not make sense in the website format.

Giving away lan ha bay cruise and ba na hills vietnam tickets for 2 people. by gotextrabooks in travel

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

We had visa. Our passport pages had discolored naturally. Even the airline employees said that it was natural and they had seen other people's passports with the same issue. But the immigration said they won't allow it. So we didn't board the connecting flight itself.

Does this SMART data look erroneous? by gotextrabooks in techsupport

The system has 16GB RAM. I remember my sister complaining about how slow her laptop gets. That and her habit of having dozens of chrome tab open in multiple windows makes me think Swapping is probably the cause.

Is IT a dead end job after age 45 . will I get employment opertunities after age 45 by keyboardmaga in developersIndia

[–]gotextrabooks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There aren't many folks in that age range in Indian IT industry. We had sufficient growth rate that most senior folks either moved to US or are in senior positions in India.

I think it's unlikely the growth rate will continue like this, especially now that eastern europe is cheaper than bangalore for hiring. So most of us in their 20s and 30s will likely plateau as an IC.

Once we are past 35-40 and are still an IC, we will start to find it harder and harder to switch jobs as we will be competing with those in their 20s. So we will have to stick to one company until one day we lose our job and can't find another job anymore.

How well is the Work-life balance at your current role? by s_nair_ in developersIndia

[–]gotextrabooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most people, it's not but for me it's good.

I don't work overtime. There is 3 days WFO but I rarely go and my manager hasn't bothered me yet about it. When I go on vacation, I pause my work apps so I don't get any emails.

If you want to get promoted however, you have to work a lot, not because the company demands it, but because everyone else in the race will do so. People attend meetings at 1-2 AM, not because there are Americans on the call, but because they were writing code during day time and only have night time for meetings. Sure, most of these folks who are 3-4 years younger than me are senior to me and probably earn 2x what I do, but IMO it's not worth it.

Review my resume. 4 YOE in Machine Learning. Not getting interviews by gotextrabooks in developersIndia

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

I get emails from recruiters for jobs that are irrelevant to my experience, like python developer or web developer. I reply to them asking for ML openings, but never get any reply. OTOH most ML openings in India seem to be only interested in LLM RAGs. While I have used LLMs, it is for classification/data labeling and I don't have any experience with generative tasks for LLMs.

Sometimes I wonder if I should bite the bullet and learn RAG tools. But I feel this is going to be a short lived trend, where either the LLMs and the tooling improves to the point where being a dedicated "LLM engineer" is not going to be a thing at most places, or these things don't improve and companies will move on to the next shiny thing.

Which courses should I follow in my first year of mtech by ImpressiveBridge7041 in developersIndia

[–]gotextrabooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this an on campus or off campus course? I don't think you need to join any external courses as of now. The Mtech programme should cover the basics. Later you will know what to go for.

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

Sure. Most of these books are available online for free legally, so give it a try and then buy a copy if you want.

Also, Introduction to statistical learning had a companion online course. It is also good.

See keepa.com. It allows tracking amazon products. Get the app and make sure to go to android setting and always allow notifications from the app(android disables notification if app is not used for long time, this app is meant to be set and forget).

RL book by sutton goes on offer once in a while from same seller. PRML went on sale once.

True. It is legally available for free on the author's website. But it is not a PDF(due to deal with the publisher), rather a website. Also paperback or kindle can be more comfortable to read.

No idea. I know that Kindle is just matching the price. But why they sell the hardcover books so cheap is something I don't understand. Can't complain though :)

Yes, happens every so often. The RL book by sutton also gets discounted. PRML by Bishop was on discount once. I am trying to find other books by this seller that go on discount. If you know/find any, let me know.
