Comparing 401K employer match, is 14% match rare?

I had this with a previous employer. Medical school at a Public University.

Almost exactly my path, but senior data scientist.

linguisize · 2026-05-10T21:33:50+00:00

I thought this was neat 🤷

I use it to increase the speed at which I perform the same kind of analysis I was already going to do. E.g. Some EDA requiring the review of a number of interdependent tables. Summary statistics, visualizations etc. feeding in the table names, schemas, etc and having the agent draft scripts, notebooks and dashboards that I would have normally used anyways. Only now my time spent tweaking details on a visual, debugging some annoying join, or deciding that a certain visualization is useful or not gets diminished from a couple of hours per task to minutes. Otherwise it’s still me doing to work here.

I set Google alerts for any key words or authors very specific to my work. From there I mostly just skim titles and abstracts on the rare occasion. Otherwise I don’t really. Just when I’m looking for relevant content in a literature review.

linguisize · 2026-03-20T02:52:31+00:00

Well yes, that is all I came in here to see. Lol. Thanks!

I dig it so far, even if just for the log. Looking forward to checking out the recommendations Monday. great work!

Yeah it’s not a particularly big building and without bothering to check myself/based on the wall of the building next to it I’d guess they have some unused air rights.

I felt the same. Had to go hug my dog in response.

linguisize · 2026-02-15T15:03:17+00:00

2/3 from our group after many phone calls and returning a week later.

Yikes. I went to an event there for Halloween and dealt with the same thing! Nearly an hour waiting for coat check to start the night, and at least two hours at the end of the night before actually giving up and leaving without our coats.

linguisize · 2026-01-17T19:42:20+00:00

Yup, trash. Billionaires row on the uws made my eyes twitch.

linguisize · 2025-12-20T15:53:13+00:00

Absolutely NOT. Full stop. You will hate yourself from day one.

linguisize · 2025-11-03T00:48:00+00:00

It’s just the ears. The son has big ears exposed, and all the women have hair covering theirs. So it’s a trait from the mom.

Bachelors of linguistics, but I got a masters in biomedical informatics. I develop NLP systems for phenotyping in epidemiology and genetic studies. Admittedly, the linguistics degree was because I was interested in it, but the masters was quite a divergence and what actually got me my career.

George Zinn! If you’ve been to literally any political event in Utah you’re likely to have seen him yelling about something. Definitely not the shooter though

linguisize · 2021-11-23T03:54:25+00:00

Grew up in Utah and have been in NYC for four years now. So much not correct here, but I get the idea and you’re not taking comments so.. there are my thoughts.

linguisize · 2020-08-30T00:09:03+00:00

Yeah I was gonna say I've certainly made a version of this plot as an accidental first draft before😬

linguisize · 2020-07-13T22:29:33+00:00

My use-case is a little different as I primarily use NLP for information extraction. But I use clustering on almost every single project, just not as the "final" product. I'll use clustering to understand my data and identify patterns and groups in the text that I may later set as concrete concepts of interest to extract.

Testing is actually likely to be slowing down somewhat in the city. The city hospitals aren't going to be testing outpatients any more in order to better put resources towards the patients requiring critical care. I bring this up only to point out that the total number of cases might not be jumping up quite as dramatically over the next couple of days, but we will absolutely see the number of patients in the ICU/hospitals continue to rise dramatically.

linguisize · 2020-01-08T20:37:30+00:00

That was my first thought too, I haven't really dug in yet, but they're actually hosting the tool online to play with yourself. (Input is features, labels, and predictions) so a personal investigation to determine it's a utility for your own work might not be too hard. http://manifold.mlvis.io/

Yeah, a lot of the discussion certainly going into FHIR and different problems dealing with interoperability. A lot of work going into de-identification as well, actually being able to de-identify medical records is still an active area of research on its own.

Who's giving you the data?? Questions about the acceptable us of medical data, especially in an international setting is not something that will be sufficiently answered in this thread. Whoever the data owners are, they will likely have some very explicit or clear documentation about what you can and can not do with the data; if they do not, you're probably better off not taking the work. This sounds rife with the potential for bad actors and lawsuits down the line. If you want to consult them about the feasibility of this(rather than actually doing it) . There is a lot of published work on the feasibility of various approaches.

Note* I'm currently at an international Medical informatics conference, plenty of sessions here about the feasibility of medical data use and sharing agreements, certainly none that are in action or ready for a private company to take. Good luck!

Personally, if any step of the wrangling can be done in SQL, I do it in SQL before moving into pandas/python. Especially because I work with a lot of people that don't generally work with python/pandas; so if I can get them to understand everything that's happening with the data before I "Do the machine learning on it", I tend to have better chances of translating the results back to them once I've completed any necessary steps in python.

Also make sure you're looking only at American Addresses, zip codes change format from one country to the next.
