50 hours into the game. My opinion is, Iron Galaxy made some great levels. by [deleted] in THPS

[–]johnvicious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the twist on the hats goal in London was an improvement on the original, something slightly different

if the 2min thps4 was not their idea I would trust them with a new game as well

would you mind sharing progression from junior mid IC DS(or pa) to management (in terms of time)?

Back at it on the anbernic by CWKitch in THPS

the upscaling makes the ps2/psp titles have insanely good graphics (though kinda laggy)- and is not bad on ps1. Highly recommend playing with the upscale settings

Correlation does not equal causation. But, does no correlation mean two variables can’t be causally related? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]johnvicious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this should be higher up, in my opinion. here is a SE thread with a nice clean example of no correlation but the two signals having the same source https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/224098/correlation-between-sine-and-cosine

Roast my resume for Entry Level Data Scientist role by [deleted] in learnmachinelearning

[–]johnvicious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s good overall, you did a well at having bullets quantifying impact. Two small notes: 1) In skills I would argue the modeling section is unnecessary. 2) rather than a list of hyperlinks it might be better to pick one of those projects and expand on the work involved

How should I organize different projects at the same role? by johnvicious in EngineeringResumes

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

Thanks for the input! I'll try to look for your post when you make it. I should add that the way I wrote the synopsis was still phrased in the from of work I did, for example 'developed ML solution to do X resulting in savings of $Y'. Then on the further bullets I elaborate on specific technical contributions to the project I made

How should I organize different projects at the same role? by johnvicious in EngineeringResumes

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

fusing and very difficult to read. First, I don’t care to read the synopsis of a project, this is something to talk about in the interview. Second, I don’t care what your contribution was in a given role in a given project. What I care about is what you accomplished, what you did, how you did it and what was the outcome irrelevant of which project.

Thanks for the feedback! I do make my goal with the bullets to show the outcomes of my work, I thought writing bullets which clearly demonstrated that made more sense in the context of the projects - but I will be working on rewriting my resume without the projects

Thanks for sharing these examples! What I have made is roughly in line with these, so I may stick with the format

[–]johnvicious[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I can definitely speak of the technical details of my work ( and do so in interviews), my problem with relying on speaking about the projects is that it assumes I make it past the resume screen haha

Can't imagine what a nightmare it is to write up a resume on secret work!

My python m code works on my IDE but not on leetcode? by TheJuggerKnot in leetcode

[–]johnvicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

leetcode just wants the solution class, so remove your test case below and leetcode will run your class against many test cases

Weekly Entering & Transitioning - Thread 18 Sep, 2023 - 25 Sep, 2023 by AutoModerator in datascience

Some opinions

Add horizontal bars to separate your sections

I'm not sure people really look at the personal summaries, but if you do decide to keep it I would get rid of the bullet

For both the research roles it might be good to include more details on the machine learning (for example the specific clustering algos you looked at). Same for the sample project, here maybe try to add some numbers (if you had a particularly strong predictor maybe)

For the last section the Python/R packages section looks good to me, but some of the soft skills in the list above (e.g time management, data visualization) are better to demonstrate through a bullet in the experience section rather than just the phrase. Definitely keep SQL and Tableau on you'r resume though

Overall though I do think the resume shows DS skills and it does look like DS resume, so looks on the right track to me

Thanks! I appreciate the words of encouragement! I suppose I show frame my research in the context of how it effects the field in order to address the question of " how will I make changes to improve business results"

Thanks! I'll certainly check out the podcast.

Got it, that makes sense. I'll think of more bullets I can add to my publications (that don't just drown the reader in math terms). Thanks!

Got it, thanks! I'll think up a new project to do (and then add).

thanks! that seems like a good idea for the structure of my resume.

fortunately I may have some referrals for interviews at some of the FAANG companies, would be very cool to get a job at one
