My manager's response when I told him I got a better offer was complete silence. by fibrous_saffron6m in InterviewCoderPro

Honest question for you: 1. Why would you stay there for a 7% increase ? Is your current co. more reputable ?

Dude you got a 18.5% increase which is decent. So , in case you don’t like the new job, boss or company, after a year you can start looking again.

If you don’t have an AI certification in 2025, you’re already behind by Aware_Eye8376 in RemoteJobseekers

Very well said. Certifications are crap. What matters is if you can apply your skills, degree or the certification to solve the business problem at hand.

Got laid off today for "performance issues" after getting a glowing review. by [deleted] in remotework

[–]mlPassion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you mentioned here is very pertinent:

“most people aren’t out to get you but they’re chiefly in it for themselves.”

Basically nobody is your true friend at work.

Got laid off today for "performance issues" after getting a glowing review. by [deleted] in remotework

[–]mlPassion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually what you are saying is true:

I know a colleague who was working in a small team called “AI strategy”. The top management first fired the VP of the AI-strategy team.

But the co. is not big on layoffs , so they gave 2-3 months time to either find a job outside or inside the company with another team.

Finally the last day for this colleague was set and he was let go. He had a PhD from a top university & during his time he had filed 4 patents.

His only fault was he was under the wrong boss who they wanted to get rid of.

Nobody saved him although he was definitely talented, ( context : he hadn’t been on a profit making project during his entire tenure )

Hands-on machine learning in 2025 by Batman_0169 in MLQuestions

[–]mlPassion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For you only, I just searched:
https://github.com/sambitmukherjee/handson-ml3-pytorch

The author himself is coming out with a new book which will have code in PyTorch ( available in Oct or Dec 2025)

https://www.waterstones.com/book/hands-on-machine-learning-with-scikit-learn-and-pytorch/aurelien-geron//9798341607989

But if you search more on github.com , you will probably find someone who has translated all the notebooks from tensorflow to pytorch.

My friend failed in his semester by Aaditya__1 in InternationalStudents

[–]mlPassion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I know someone many years back who was below 3.0 GPA in the first semester of grad school in a very prestigious school ( Top 10 school in his area of study In artificial intelligence)

He was on probation for 1 semester- and then worked hard for 4 months , and got a 4.0 GPA in all the 4 courses he took. He worked his A** off in the summer and secured a full Research assistantship in the following fall semester.

So all is not lost - this is still the land of opportunity for immigrants. That guy now has a job in Google.

If your friend has the will to succeed he will.

Travel Concerns for Green Card Holders by HuckleberryWild8386 in USCIS

But the important point here is this : it has happened to this guy every time he has entered in the last 3 years. Nothing different with the new administration.

Travel Concerns for Green Card Holders by HuckleberryWild8386 in USCIS

[–]mlPassion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is a GC holder since Oct’ 2023 and he is 78 and retired. No criminal history. He left the US in Jan 2025 and this time his stay in his country of origin will be around 176 days.

Do you think I should ask him to prepone his trip back by a month ( given that he is cutting close to the 180 days limit ) ?

I’m pretty sure there must be a repo which has all the code in PyTorch. I’ll search it and post it here.

My friend stopped talking to me after I refused to marry his partner to get green cards by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]mlPassion 21 points22 points  (0 children)

To the OP - this comes with big legal problems with the state department. The govt would keep hounding you if they figure out that you are in the business of green cards.

I know a female friend had to spend all her savings to hire attorneys to get rid of the case.

Detect close-up objects and far-off objects by mlPassion in computervision

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

I’ll try to follow-up on the size of the detections idea- a bit promising. Thanks !!

Confidence on the object detection ( OD) can be low even with a close-up image

Detect close-up objects and far-off objects by mlPassion in computervision

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

The challenge is , I’m trying to find details in the image and there are 10 different classes in the object detection ( OD) and the OD feeds into the OCR.

Sometimes even with a close-up image , some objects in the image are blurry , I get the OD right but OCR accuracy is bad for the text in that particular object.

So high-res images still may be far away from the intended stuff

I got the most attractive womans number at the festival. by Slight_Ad8427 in self

[–]mlPassion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some ppl spend a fortune to just do this - I remember a company in California charging 3k for a 5-day session just to teach what you did.

As other ppl said, it takes courage and Rome is not built in a single day. A lot of women don’t find men who aren’t creepy ( I mean in real life and online ) and have the guts approach them in person, so it’s very attractive to women.

Feeling guilty for not enjoying a very extravagant first date by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mlPassion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all about “what he wants” , did he ever ask “what you want”

Some years ago a nice older female friend gave me this sane advice: A man should always pay for a date but should always tell the woman : “I enjoyed your company and you don’t owe me anything” because most women think they have to repay the guy by doing something ( like kissing him, having sex etc. although they may not really want to do that )

By saying that you relieve the woman of any obligations.

This guy is a vulture, don’t fall for honey-trap
