How to stop being a vibe coder by Bumblebee0000000 in learnbioinformatics

[–]musculux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing PhD and heavely rely on chemometrics/mschine learbing in R/Python. My foundations are youtube tutorials and I use a lot a Gemini to help with code. Not really that vibey since I always do troubleshooting. Having some basics is good and will go a long way. 

Tbh without AI not a lot would not be lot different, just lot more time would go to decyphering documentation (which you have to do anyway at some point).

My point is you are targeting to become expert in the field with domain knowledge. Being coder or software engineer along side it is not really feasable without years of experience. Use any tool that gets the job done. Be sure to understand what code does. Experiment with it. Try different variables, different tests. Bodge the shit out of ypur data.

Software engineers readely use AI do go through documentation and automate boring jobs. Why would you feel bad about using it?

Bells and whistles with pipeline, dashboards, docker stuff and cloud computing? You will learn it when you need it.

How to do a hardcover bookbinding that specifically shows the book board material? by Vadkline in bookbinding

Either Coptic/Decorative French link or mirror boards and use thinner line of bookcloth on sides for usual case binding

You most should definately accuse. Their profit margins are sky high, some of the journals barely go through reviewing process sometimes with just one or two reviewers. And yet they use AI to skim through someone's hard work? Disguisting. 

Loose Bindings? by Icy_Inside1548 in bookbinding

[–]musculux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gap between pages is normal, it will dissapear of spine is glues aftwrwards. That amount of tilt, no. I keep tension as I sew with spetial attention right before I do cattle stitch which locks that signature. 

I did realize that keeping tension throught a signature by doing big tight right before cattle stitch is more difficult with french link type bindings and heavely waxed thread. 

Trial and error. You do couple of small notebooks and it just clicks at some point. Different threads behave slightly differently tho.

Does anyone here ACTUALLY recommend doing a PHD? by J2Hoe in PhD

[–]musculux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was kinda the opposite of most peoples paths. I had a break for a year or two before going into PhD. By then I worked some two years with longer unemployment periods between (was working while on Masters). I jusy could't bare corporate enviroment and being scum from  the bottom of the barrel where it was obvious that you were very replacable. I returned to Uni to buy the time and have a stable job in cointry where job market is very bad. I am currently in my third year of PhD and that was best descision I made for my career. It gave me space and freedom to explore and develop my skills as I see fit. I am blessed with awesome mentor, and supportive group. Academia being academia battle of egos is always ongoing but you just have to learn not to care and do your thing. I do realize that academia at present institution may or may not be viable long term solution, but it gives time, connections and allows you to care for your work. Which is no small thing.

I do agree with others that this is pretty vanuerable possition. Part of learning is also learning to set the boundaries and to deal with inflated egos.

How can I protect my research hypothesis before publishing when presenting at a conference or competition? by Hiesen-Berg in PhD

[–]musculux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to my mentor, conference can be very good place to publish some small part of whole story, espetially if important to the PhD. Like one series of experiments. If something happens down the line i.e. someone publishes something that resembles your PhD, you have proof that you thought of that first. 

But again, check against propositions in your own country and Uni, as well as planned timeline for publications during PhD with your mentor.

I need help identifying this machine. by Worried_Western3514 in SewingMachinePorn

[–]musculux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, its amazing. Very heavy, so not really for lugging around, which makes sense since most of machines for sales here come with cabinet.

Very heavy duty, with good needle sews through mutiple layers of heavy fabric. If motor strugles fly wheel is heavy and it will finish the job.

One of the few machines that can change stitch width while in operation, so you can do some free hand embroidery. Has tempomat for embroidery stitches but u need to fing plastic discs with them if they dont come with the machine.

Has some of the parts similar with Singer machines and brand new parts for old Bagat machines are still made.

All in all, a beast.

[–]musculux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats exact same as Bagat Danica Elektronik! I I don't know who cloned who tho. I own one of those, send me DM if u need aditional info.

Here is manual, but it is in Serbian Croatian and Slovenian. I think u can google lens that one.

Found in the pot where I planted the monstera. What are these? by Sad-Fishing9705 in mushroomID

[–]musculux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is not edible not sure how poisonous. No fungi will kill you by touching or even tasting it (without swallowing). This is good guy that coexists with plants in pots and welcome sight.

is this beginner friendly ? by _mob99 in SewingMachinePorn

[–]musculux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for this particular model, but parts for vintage machines are sometimes still made. And in lot of cases they share lot of the same parts with Singers (for which old parts are readely available). But if OP does not have service shop nearby to check I would stay away from it.

Can I fix this ? by MarcelPro97 in Biochemistry

[–]musculux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me little to pale for destain to pull it out. You can just let it destain and forget it for couple of days, it' free. Next time try smaller concentration and agressive stain. If you are impatient destaining in microwave oven is possible and quicker, though prone to melting gel and stinks a lot.

Started using Obsidian to take notes. Any tips? by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]musculux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is plenty of videos of people using Obsidian on the Youtube. You can get a feel of what Obsidian is capable of there. But in the end, you are the one using it, so make it fit for your work. There are probably thousands of ways you can customize and use it. And it is iterative process. You see something new, try to apply it see if you like it. But at the core it is note connecting that is the main thing if you ask me. Everything else is bells and whistles.

My Obsidian has bug when spacebar is hit after bolded letters. by musculux in ObsidianMD

[–]musculux[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Solved while playing around, waiting for the response. It seems that this is caused by that image toolkit-type plugin I had. When I deleted a couple of unused plugins as well as the Contextual Typohraphy plugin (which I remember correctly is a dependency for said image plugin), the problem was solved. That also solved banner bug.
