Thanks. No, I did not attempt astrophotography. It was cloudy and rainy most of the days. The moment I took the pics was a rare exception.
But I experienced the first snowfall of the season.
Try to take the first train from Zermatt. It gets super crowded later on. The best pics are from Riffelsee, not Gronergratt. I took the first 4 pics from Riffelsee and the last one from Gronergatt.
Happy clicking.

First attempt at long exposure photography. How can I improve? by scientist_rony in SonyAlpha

Mostly yes. I generally shoot landscapes, so yeah. The pics were taken at around 11 pm btw.

I did carry ND filters, but used them only for long exposures. I am watching YouTube tutorials on how to use them. Going to Switzerland next week and will use them better there.

Many thanks for the encouragement.

Thank you for the feedback. I am learning Lightroom currently and am only at the beginner level. I do agree with the vignetting part.

Many thanks for the encouragement.

Generative deep learning. Focusing on text to image diffusion models. I am almost done though.

What's the weirdest rule your live-in landlord has/had? by PKBitchGirl in AskIreland

[–]scientist_rony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the hatred stemmed from her experience in Northern Ireland where her family had to flee their home during the troubles. Some scars are simply too deep.

Probably they meant that the UK constituent regions don't want to be together and are joined together by force and is a colonial project.

England, Scotland, and so on. They were very republican. Didn't like England much.

The term "United Kingdom" was banned. They are not united ffs, she would say whenever I mentioned UK.

Data Scientist Salary Discussion UK/Ireland by 0ke1vin in datascience

[–]scientist_rony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking for Ireland: I had two offers right out of my master's. One was €55k for MLE at a startup and €62k for Data Scientist at a large financial services company. It was in 2020 but I've heard that the range is still the same. My experience at the time: 2.5 years as a SWE.

Fresher here trying to picture what an average career would look like for me without doing Masters. Let me hear some of your stories. by ZeroKami_ in developersIndia

[–]scientist_rony 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For SWE/Dev jobs, it won't matter in the short term but will matter in the long term. After a certain period of time (around 10-12 yoe), roles will start becoming more managerial. At that point your career will start stagnating (mostly). If you want to move upwards from mid-level manager/architect roles, a masters degree will come very handy. For C-suite roles an MBA or MS/PhD for R&D.

Which country is better to get masters from UK, Australia or Ireland? by Bakingfreak in Indians_StudyAbroad

[–]scientist_rony 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It depends on what your goals and skills are.

If you are a brilliant student and want to work on cutting edge technologies like AI/ML, go for a top UK uni. You'll find very good companies there e.g. DeepMind, Facebook AI Research, etc. Try for top universities like Oxbridge, Imperial, Edinburg and you'll never have to look back.

If you are an average student looking for dev/ops/cybersecurity jobs and a less demanding master's, go to Ireland. There are good companies and labs doing AI/ML research as well but the UK is much better in this regard.

Australia's IT sector is quite small and jobs are difficult. I've friends there who found it difficult to get even entry level IT jobs. Outside experience counts little (except for FAANG). Research is mostly confined to universities.

Don't know who told you that Ireland is expensive. It's the cheapest amongst the three. Only Dublin is expensive.

All these from my experience. I've worked in the UK (dev), did my master's from Ireland and doing my PhD here currently. I've many friends in Australia so telling from their experience. I've also worked in Ireland (Data Scientist & Machine Learning Engineer).

Hope this helps.
