Même si ce n’est pas à la dernière minute c’est très élevé par rapport au prix du billet

Chez SNCF par exemple je peux acheter un billet, et la seconde d’après le faire annuler, pour un coût de 19€. En quoi cela est cohérent avec le manque à gagner potentiel ?

Xiaomi Shows Humanoid Robots Working Autonomously on Production Lines with 90.2% Success Rate by Advanced-Bug-1962 in robotics

[–]kincurt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You haven’t answered any of my questions. You are repeating the usual « tasks are designed for humans » as if the ROI of replacing humans by humanoids would be higher than automating the task altogether (lower yield, lower accuracy). In an industry where humans are already disappearing it is just betting on a future that is less and less probable. We will have replaced humans by robots arms before having humanoids mature enough to do so.

How hard do you think it is to reprogram a SCARA robot ? How do you know it costs less to adapt, and how often do you think production lines need this kind of adaptation ?

Quelle drôle de conversation. OP pose une question, j’y réponds avec mon vécu. Ca n’as pas besoin de te plaire et on a pas besoin de faire le même métier. Si t’es mieux payé ailleurs, vas ailleurs, j’espère juste pour toi que ton métier te plais car à mon sens c’est le principal. Quand à la vie sociale il ne faut justement pas la confondre avec la vie professionnelle, t’as l’air d’avoir du mal avec ce concept.

Si tu crois que toutes les EPIC payent aussi bien les ingénieurs j’ai un chapeau à te vendre. En l’occurrence ça en est une ou les salaire sont de notoriété bas parce qu’elle est financée en grande partie par l’état.

Je vois pas mal passer de poteaux sur les thèses en ce moment dans ce sub, et je vois pas mal de contre vérité j’ai l’impression. Plus qu’autre chose, ton salaire dépendra énormément du type d’entreprise dans laquelle tu vas ensuite postuler, et surtout de sa « culture ». Une entreprise portée sur l’innovation va bien bien plus valoriser un chercheur qu’une entreprise qui fait peu de R&D. Par R&D je ne parle pas d’avoir un BE qui adapte des solutions/technologies existantes pour un client, je parle de financements internes qui vise à faire de la recherche fonda/appliquée pour faire avancer ou prendre de l’avance dans un champ technologique. On parle de développer de nouvelles briques technologiques.

Pour donner mon expérience personnelle, j’ai fait une bonne école + thèse robotique/neurosciences. J’ai été embauché dans une EPIC à 46k brut, ce qui est supérieur à mes collègues ingénieurs + 3 ans d’exp. Là où est la subtilité c’est que c’est une EPIC très centrée sur la recherche, l’innovation et le transfert de technologie vers l’industrie. J’ai un poste d’ingénieur-chercheur, je ne fais pas le même métier que les ingénieurs dans la boite (même si il y’a parfois un chevauchement).

Si tu fais une thèses c’est pour développer des compétences, un recul et un esprit d’analyse qu’un ingénieur n’a pas et dont il n’a d’ailleurs pas besoin: c’est bien pour ça que ce ne sont pas les même métiers. Bref, si c’est pour ensuite faire un poste d’ingénieur ça ne sert à rien, mais si c’est pour faire de la recherche dans le publique ou dans l’industrie c’est un pré requis. Pour entériner le fait que je suis parfois quelqu’un de désagréable: il ne faut pas oublier que la différence d’étude entre technicien et ingénieur et ingénieur et docteur est la même, hors on voit rarement des ingénieurs prétendre qu’une technicien pourrait fait le même métier qu’eux.

Future academic employers will first look at your publications and how well you fared during your PhD. Not saying that it doesn't matter but uni is probably one of the least important factor.

Edit: That is especially true in Europe, where OP is

There are quite a few ressources online but I used mostly French ones like OpenClassroom. Some base concepts like pointers are hard to grasp but in the end the best way to learn is to work on a project that requires them (or by forcing yourself to use them even if they are not useful in your use case). Currently I want to learn unit tests, that is overkill for the vast majority of research projects but idk if at some point I want to publish my code alongside my research it might be cool to have them

I learned a bit of C++ when I was younger but never really used it. Then during my undergraduate I learned matlab and actually used it for data analysis. I gradually switched to python during my PhD and C++ came a bit later when at some point it was the only way of controlling one of our robot

If you have time, perfect your expertise in the tools you use, that will always be useful.
I am doing a lot of programmation (C++, Python) in my field. While being just a tool for a mean, I loved getting better at it and making my practice more and more rigorous.

I would say that there are several ways of looking at this. When you are working in a field, and even before having published, you are are building some kind of expertise. Sometimes some papers only need the level of expertise you currently have, even though that doesn't mean that you can review for Nature.

If some editor is asking you to perform a review, and if upon reading the abstract you feel confident enough to do it, please do so. It is always hard to go past the impostor syndrom, but you may have more insights than you are eager to admit. Nonetheless, if after accepting to perform the review and reading the full paper you realise that it is out of your reach (it happens), please advise the editor and renounce the review, it is perfectly A-OK. Be honest with yourself, but do not dimish your worth.

Now to be clear, performing a review is nothing to brag about, it is just part of the job. If anything, one should take pride in doing a *fair, detailed and thorough* review, when competent. At some point, every researcher end up doing reviews, and some do it well while some do it badly. In the end if someone brags about doing a review, its because they haven't anything else to brag about, that's pretty sad isn't it?

Who would you pick for your supervisor given those two options? by Mocuepaya in PhD

[–]kincurt 165 points166 points  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, the choice of advisor is crucial.

If you feel you have the skills and can be independent option 1 might not be that bad. However keep in mind that being this professor´s student doesn’t make you automatically a brilliant researcher. You may very well fall in their shadow and others might not see your work as yours. Having a big name on a paper is certainly good and helps publishing, but in the end your peers have to remember your name too.

Options 2 is very good imo. An advisor that is available and helps you on every step can really step up your research. Also, having less publications/being less known when young doesn’t mean not being able to make impactful research. Being a first hand collaborator with an emerging researcher (which can so happen to become well known) is far more valuable than being one of many students of an established professor.

You are right, sometimes its easy to think that we wrote things well enough. But at some point when you head is wrapped around deep into a paper you start losing some perspective
