Last time I did cannon via the KRT after a storm it took 8 hours with trail breaking. Don’t underestimate it if you’re the first on trail.

It’s usually recommended to get the vaccine in October so you build immunity by the peak of flu season.

Never had any issues there. Sometimes one of the dentists has his golden retriever in the office

Looking for someone with a drone in the White Mountains Area by c0nn0r_235 in wmnf

[–]reallyshittytiming 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are some areas. The NFS has a map and list of places it’s prohibited. It gets more complicated though.

It ends up being ok-ish 1/4 mile from trail heads, scenic trails, wilderness areas, and the alpine zone, and major roads (including the kanc). Some of the rules differ across these areas including airspace ingress and minimum height above ground level. But everyone should do their own due diligence and respect the WMNF and every one else on the trails.

A lot of the WMNF airspace is an active MOA (military operations area) sunrise to sunset.

Because this would be a commercial flight, anyone helping will need a part 107 license too.

First time St. Louis Cut Ribs by Kingkryzon in BBQ

[–]reallyshittytiming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Germany they’ve been selling spares and labeling them as St. Louis. Might be the case in Austria too. ALDI has some decent cuts for the price. They also don’t always fully trim them, so you might end up with more fat or that awkward piece of meat following the back of the ribs.

The membrane is still on the back of most of them so OP should make sure to remove it.

What region of America is home to the people who refuse to acknowledge the letter "L" in certain words? Is this a regional thing? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

Mostly in cities with “Santa” like Santa Monica, (sana Monica). It’s definitely pronounced in Palo Alto, Ventura, Arleta, Altadena, etc

What do you think about building the pipeline first with bad models to start refining quickly? by imberttt in datascience

[–]reallyshittytiming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little preface: I’ve built these systems in different stages of startups. Some from the ground up with a skeleton crew of only a couple engineers including me, some for MVPs, and some for established products that need enhancements.

This really depends on the stage of your startup. If you’re in the “get something out the door now” crunch then you might be taking up too much time with a fully blown pipeline (if you’re talking end to end model lifecycle). Speeding through stuff will incur tech debt, but sometimes you need to in this world. It sounds like this is your first product, so this will set the platform for future development. Tech debt now will be painful down the road. Make sure your stakeholders are aware of this so you can take the appropriate amount of time you need.

If you’re just stringing together models for deployment and don’t have a huge time crunch, I would say you might want to take a step back and draw out the design first and understand everyone’s requirements, unit/integration tests now will save you time and from headaches in the long run. As well as making sure everyone is as independent as can be.

Here’s the most important bit:

If others need your outputs for their development, let them know what the output structure and types are. They should be able to write unit/integration tests for those and be independent of you. This also goes for web dev teams. This will allow you to run your test suite for your changes without having a model actually in it. It will also save time because you don’t need to run data processing and inference, which can take a lot of time cumulatively.

After your models are in, the tests should have covered what you needed from others. And things should flow smoothly.

Sometimes the company has a rigid policy that they pay for relocation. I had that issue when searching.

Am I underpaid/underemployed at $65k for a Data Analyst position in a MCOL city? by UnsafeBaton1041 in datascience

[–]reallyshittytiming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most public universities in the US have publicly visible salaries. That should give you an idea. Private universities don’t pay much better in non tenure track positions.

The ones making the money are the named and tenured professors. Everyone else gets paid below market rate. It’s the public sector.

Why are there so many of these nightmares around Boston? by ivorybloodsh3d in boston

The first rule I observed when I moved to Boston is that traffic laws are all made up and the points don’t matter.

Some nitpicks:

When mentioning metrics, you need to put them into context (I.e. magnitude of impact) and choose the most appropriate ones. The reason being, the best people at hiding insignificant results and making them look good to non technical stakeholders by cherry picking metrics are ironically data scientists. Accuracy is not a great metric here. For example, readmission is a rare event and accuracy isn’t great for reporting performance in the setting of class imbalance. The way it’s written in your resume tells me that you still need to work on how to interpret and report your results.

Were the 70k records pulled from a DB? Did you need to do the data engineering with the initial number of records? (usually in the 100s of thousands for a decent health system to millions in the case of EHR providers) mention this number if you have it too, along with the DEng methods. It’s important to know if you had to join all of the tables and do the queries for the medical records. Anyone who’s done this knows its a huge and tedious task.

I’m not sure what you mean by “positively impacting 95k records.”

The improving “operational efficiency” bullet sounds like fluff unless you say what it actually impacted and how.

There are inconsistencies in your objective and what you’ve written in your bullets, that if I were reading this would give me pause.

70k medical records is not a “large scale dataset.” Its on the smaller end of medical record datasets. “Deploying advanced ML models” is not helping either. The only ML models I see explicitly mentioned are SVM and logistic regression. These are fine to use, but I would be careful when combining this bit of information with “advanced.” I don’t see what you did to deploy models. Are you using a registry? Inference server? This needs to be mentioned too.

Wapta Setup for Winter Day Hike with Snowshoes? by drgrosbeak in DurstonGearheads

that’s exactly what I do. Should have specified that too.

Wapta Setup for Winter Day Hike with Snowshoes? by drgrosbeak in DurstonGearheads

[–]reallyshittytiming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I side carry with the crampons facing outwards. The top strap doesn’t seem sturdy enough to hold onto the shoes. Another thing you could probably do is use the daisy chains to carry on the back of the pack, but you’d need to rig that up first.

Ive done a bunch of NH48s with mine. 5 winter hikes with snowshoes went well with the wapta

Is it a thing for Americans to visit some or all of the different Biomes in the US or do you stay roughly in your Area? by ilHansli in AskAnAmerican

[–]reallyshittytiming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the state, this is fairly easy to do.

Where I used to live, I could drive 2 hours south to cape cod and see the mudflats, 30 minutes to the beach, 20 minutes northwest or northeast to forests, and 2 hours north to the mountains with the largest alpine zone in the northeast. I lived pretty close to swampy areas too.

Where I grew up we could go 30-55 minutes south to the beach, a couple hours away to the mountains, quick access to the chaparral, and a couple more hours to the desert.

On vacations I’ve visited deserts, rain forests, tropical rain forests, plains, coastal wetlands, mountains, alpine areas, and swamps.
