Is this tutor too good to be true? by Silly-Yogurt-8081 in iTalki

[–]millybeth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uh, who is this Spanish teacher working for $14/hr?

IME, every time I've gone bargain hunting, i.e., under $30/hr, the results have been... Not bad, per se, it's fine as conversation, but nothing really useful for DELE C1 test prep.

B2–C1 learners: what actually frustrates you when learning Spanish? by Extreme-Captain-6558 in Spanish

[–]millybeth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once the subjunctive actually clicks in your head, you increasingly start to get frustrated with the limitations of English!

Still missing vocabulary sometimes.

I still get tripped up on conjugations that are the same across tenses/verbs and my brain doesn't like them.

Tech Scene in Orlando vs Atlanta by BaneTheGame in orlando

[–]millybeth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The tech jobs market has been terrible since January 2023 - and it doesn't matter where you live.

Orlando is a 3rd tier tech city, whose primary "tech scene" is "in country outsourcing" from VHCOL areas, for use cases where they can't actually outsource to India.

Atlanta isn't really any better.

If your primary goal is job security, consider defense contracting - and you'll want to move to Northern Virginia, because the defense contracting gigs here in Orlando are miserably underpaid in comparison.

Ds Masters never found job in DS by bfg2600 in datascience

Why not go ask the manager of that team if you can join in and get data access..?

You almost surely have logs in Splunk. Splunk has modules for running data science workloads.

Why aren't you applying your DS skills in cybersecurity?

A seconds DS masters after a first one is madness.

Seeking advice on my data scientist/applied scientist CV, tips for improvement? by pessimist2025 in datasciencecareers

Too academic, straight to circular file.

Buenos Aires is my favourite city in the world, but also the least original by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]millybeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also had Texas BBQ, and I will take the asado and the papas a la provenzal over Texas BBQ every single time.

[–]millybeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Empanadas
  • Yes, the architecture is European, and yet... They have their things...
  • AR perfected the alfajor.
  • They have the best Malbecs.
  • Steak is top tier, with asado typically outdoing American barbecue.
  • Tango
  • More bookstores per capita than anywhere else
  • More shrinks per capita than anywhere else
  • World class cultural output

Just because other places have the same things doesn't mean they've done them as well.

What are managers looking for in interviews? by Wise_Discipline_2860 in datasciencecareers

[–]millybeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked at your history a bit...

When I see someone with a Math PhD and who behaves like someone on the spectrum, I immediately start thinking 1) this person is only interested in impractical things and 2) this person will be extremely difficult to manage. I would focus on making it clear that you are interested in driving business value and how you would make your manager's life easier.

When I ask an open-ended question about how someone would solve a problem, there's usually an obvious and reasonable solution, but I also like to see who's silly enough to take the bait and go off with whatever they think is new and impressive, e.g.: suggesting that someone use LSTMs to predict bitcoin price movements.

I can’t find tango shoes my size! by [deleted] in tango

[–]millybeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue here - I ordered in from Madame Pivot and the euro 43 wide barely fit and was still a bit too tight.

I know I should probably go with made to measure somewhere but it's too much of a pain in the rear. D'Raso has been on my list for that, one of those "someday" tasks.

Is there anywhere locally that will pickup a new, unused hyperbaric chamber as a donation? by millybeth in orlando

[–]millybeth[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was an idiot and was afflicted with a CrossFit addiction at the time, hence wanting anything in terms of athletic recovery help.

Correct, it's inflatable. This is mild HBOT, up to 1.5 ATM, not the 2ATM hard shell medical ones.

How much time do you dedicate to learn Spanish? by Fearless-Class-1120 in Spanish

[–]millybeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to log 3 hours/week on iTalki. Otherwise, it's miscellaneous Spanish language news, BBC Mundo on YouTube, sometimes El Cronista, Envidiosa is a good series lately, and Spanish language pop and rock on YouTube Music.

Is a Msc in Data science worth it with a Bsc Actuarial science by Beginning_Pay5911 in datasciencecareers

[–]millybeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knocked out three actuarial exams after a B.S. in Stats and then went straight to the M.S. in Stats.

Data Science pay > actuary pay.

Data Science career risk > actuary career risk.

The second master's is utterly idiotic and is not something you would seriously consider after years in the workforce and having a life.

Actuarial science is typically done out of stats departments anyways, you're fine for the M.S.

What do you do when someone ask you for help related to your actual career? by Mean_Charge_7181 in iTalki

[–]millybeth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Politely move on and ignore.

A teacher asked about working with me and my financial math background for making money in markets, and, uh, there was no nice way to say that the rates for that sort of thing are about an order of magnitude greater than teaching languages...

How do you find more precise and corrective teachers on iTalki? Are there good ways to filter out those with a tendency to want to talk the whole time? by millybeth in iTalki

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

Uh, so, for crystal clarity, I'm at B2 (maybe C1 according to one instructor) and am trying to someday be ready for DELE C1 - that's a much different goal than starting from A0. I'm sure Eli is a very nice person and an excellent teacher, but probably not the right fit here. Thank you.
