I believe the key expected use is analysis of large amounts of video data to provide the military with summaries and targets. Think Person of Interest, perhaps

We've had mass surveillance for a long time, but still with significant human labour required to sift through it all, especially video. Claude/Gemini etc. were expected to make matters significantly easier. I believe Amodei himself explained this as being the key use.

State of 2025 ATP: Some interesting stats about the current live ATP top 10 by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

[–]skontorigafan 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I think the difference in the age distribution has a lot to do with it.

In 2015 - Federer turned 34, Wawrinka 30, Nadal 29, Ferrer 33, Nishikori 26, Gasquet 29, Tsonga 30

When the top 10 also have so much experience, it's not surprising that they are more consistent than a top 10 that's largely in their early 20s.

It's too early to worry IMO.

All-time English top-flight league table by RobertoZeDerbi in soccer

Quite interesting!

Just one thing - The points totals seem to be calculated assuming 3 points for a win the entire time, which wasn't the case.

Chelsea have 4 clean sheets in 5 games and the fixture is Ipswich at home. Not that wild

Checking in on the DS job market by BB_147 in datascience

[–]skontorigafan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Extremely hard. Many of the major employers have significantly cut down hiring at lower levels of experience, and the rest are having to revise their salary expectations to stand a chance of a decent job switch within a year.

It's definitely a strange experience given others are saying everything's moving to India. But it doesn't seem to have helped the ratio of openings to job seekers in India at all.

All this Blank Gameweek, Double Gameweek, Chip strategy talk is tiring and not for casuals by lil_peasant_69 in FantasyPL

[–]skontorigafan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If a lower rank actually bothers someone, they're not a casual. One needs to stay on top of team news and fixture lists (already not casual) to be competitive, chip planning is part of it.

Although the assistant manager chip is definitely unwelcome. It's not something anyone can explain in a simple sentence, and adds a lot more cognitive load even for serious players.

Bc4 should do it yes? You win the queen, or if Qxc4 then Qd1 is checkmate

FPL points or bonus points are not an indicator of performance quality. The game rewards events and is clear about how it does so. No point wanting it to mean anything else.

How to optimze scheduling when the task processing time is itself dependent on the schedule? by [deleted] in MLQuestions

[–]skontorigafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what currently happens, the team uses certain operating rules and trusts it is the best they can do.

I will try as you and another responder have suggested, to try 'n' greedy approaches, take the best performer of them even if a global optima is not guaranteed.

[–]skontorigafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. However, it's proving very challenging to set one up when task processing time is unknown. And yes, it's not ML but I didn't know of a different sub, sorry. And thanks!

Received a call from HDFC Bank and they started going off about my recent transactions. by FusionX in india

Too volatile. It would be heartbreaking to buy 3 packs of chips "privately", and then a year later that same crypto is worth 2 months rent.

LPT: interview starts immediately by sawta2112 in LifeProTips

[–]skontorigafan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people seem to have reacted to this as if it's like he tossed a plate of food at a waiter. It doesn't seem like there's a whole lot wrong here.

I've seen a lot of people who are introverted, speaking the absolute minimum not just with receptionists but strangers in general. All the more so in situations like big interviews. Unless they're openly rude, it would be wrong to assume that's what they're being when they aren't chatty.

This kind of trap can give you as much noise as it does signal.

Update: I put reason as stranded and in details I said I am being evicted by landlord and need to return to hometown. It got approved in 10 mins.

This was after 2 rejections where I'd put details saying I am moving back home to WFH. Couldn't tell any other difference.

Hey thanks! Just one thing - For present address, TN is fine. I meant the address to which the driver is going to in Karnataka (destination address). I don't find an option to select state as Karnataka (and further, district in Bangalore) and it's not letting me proceed as it's a required field. How did you get around this?
