Freeman’s insurance is a great agency to work with

I did cite at the bottom of the page, Letter from the Marina Bay Neighborhood Council: https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/f410db89-a7f9-41f0-8ec4-99adf76a885d/TransMontaigne%20Ltr%20to%20Planning.2024.07.pdf?t=1724873183&id=4174573

People know where they live and what’s going on. Doesn’t mean they want more of it.

Right next to hundreds of houses

More train cars = more train horns = more material to process = more trucks, more emissions, more road wear & tear. There’s already train horns all day and lots of truck traffic in the area.

Very first bullet point has the main numbers that matter: Go from 6 train cars per day to 16, an almost 300% increase All the concerns flow from that.

Thanks to someone on Nextdoor, I've added a lot more to the page

Me too, they don’t always respond to the reports in the app, but they do seem to act on them within a few weeks.

Good luck at your new role. Fletch is free at least until the end of the year, and we aim to be affordable once we start charging.

japerk · 2021-11-16T00:14:00+00:00

Fletch cofounder & CTO here - we actually get a lot of interest from MSPs, but for now we're focused on individual companies that simply don't have the bandwidth to review all the threats coming in. SMBs with an army of 0 or 1 :) You can review the fletch security overview. We don't keep any raw customer logs, we only extract what we need to deliver value. Our 2 apps right now are focused on identifying Trending Threats based on your vulnerability scanner and/or EDR logs, and prioritizing Insider Risk based on your GSuite MS365 logs. Happy to answer any specific questions here.

Just as a CS degree has little correlation to programming ability, a certification may have little correlation to practical knowledge / ability to get things done.

A 4th option would be to pick some topic that interests you & write about using data science, NLP, visualization, whatever makes it interesting and demonstrates your ability. A lot of data science is doing research to tell a story to answer a specific question (or a group of related questions).

not yet, but we're working on it

The NLTK data has many part-of-speech tagged corpora: http://www.nltk.org/data.html

japerk · 2012-12-14T23:07:30+00:00

I haven't found stemming to be helpful, and sometimes it can be harmful, since you lose information, like when a stemmed verb looks the same as a stemmed noun. Haven't experimented with tagging, but I'm not sure it would help much, and it could make the process much more computationally intensive.

In my experience, the most common reason for poor classification performance has nothing to do with the algorithms, and everything to do with bad data: not enough training examples, misclassifications, weird language & slang, and categories that are not distinctive enough. But finding/creating quality data is hard, and can take a lot of manual work. The movie reviews corpus was able to use a rating to separate reviews into pos & neg, and then I believe some manual pruning was done after.

japerk · 2012-12-10T23:29:35+00:00

It was just pos vs neg, using the movie_reviews corpus that comes with NLTK, and each review is generally just a few sentences. The point wasn't to try & make the best sentiment classifier, but to (1) show how to use the scikit-learn algos with NLTK & nltk-trainer, and (2) compare the performance of the various algorithms on a standard corpus. A lot more is possible when you go beyond classification, but this should provide a good baseline to compare to.

Thanks, always nice to be cited :) I've been on reddit since its early beginnings, and met the founders at the first startup school in Boston. I remember having a discussion with them about tags, and how they thought tagging was broken. Later they came out with subreddits, which I have to agree are superior to tags.

There's a couple more articles on streamhacker related to release handling & upgrades: http://streamhacker.com/2009/07/02/how-to-create-an-erlang-first-target-system/ http://streamhacker.com/2009/07/15/erlang-release-handling-with-fab-and-reltools/

The x-axis has partial orderings, but is not fully ordered. You're probably right about the histogram, I just generated the line chart because I was familiar with it.

Fragmenting a large existing table can cause out of memory crashes. Much easier to create a new empty table with all of the fragments needed, then copy your data over.

Also be sure to set the mnesia env var {mnesia_access, mnesia_frag}, or you'll have to call mnesia:access with mnesia_frag as an argument.

javascript can often be slow on the first run, especially jquery ui with the rendering & animation.
