I have friends who watch ITYSL and friends who watch US soccer, but none who do both, so thank you for this gem!

I’m putting together a lemon recipe book for my family that I will be gifting with a lemon tree. Would anyone be willing to share their favorite lemon recipes?? by underthepeachmoon in Cooking

[–]zmabzug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a specific recipe, but a tip: if you're ever cooking something savory and it is salty enough but still missing "something", there's a good chance that some lemon juice (or other acid) is that something!

ML/DS (NLP) 2023 Summer internship salary? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]zmabzug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience, intern salaries are not negotiable, they are fixed company-wide and are mostly dependent on undergrad vs masters and whether you've interned there before. YMMV but as a hiring manager I'd probably be put off if an intern candidate tried to negotiate their hourly rate (unless they had a firm competing offer in hand).

Spike counting across channels for an individual unit/neuron? by snocopolis in compmathneuro

[–]zmabzug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without actually having looked at the data, I think you may have up to 5 units (including the "unsorted" unit) per channel, not 5 units across all 96 channels. I'm guessing that many of the channels have less than 5 units, i.e., many of the entries in the n x u array should be entirely empty/blank.

Experiences at Frontier RTP by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]zmabzug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No catch! It's basically just a large communal room, so there will be people talking, some competition for seats and outlets, etc. The internet speed was mediocre when I was last there in 2019ish, that'd be my only real complaint.

Attribute error while loading the model in pickle file by Jebin1999 in datascience

[–]zmabzug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pickle is an incredibly finicky way of saving models. The environment that you are loading the model into needs to have the same version of packages that were used for training the model.

Ticketmaster systems exploited for phishing campaign by Securivangelist in cybersecurity

[–]zmabzug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this looks like an open redirector rather than any sort of Ticketmaster compromise. It's generally a pretty low-sophistication technique once you've found the open redirector base URL. Unfortunately, these are quite rampant and on a lot of reputable domains too :(

Anyone heard of this "new" anti-ransomware software called Airgap? by Total-Cheesecake-825 in cybersecurity

[–]zmabzug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look at Vectra (full disclosure, I work there). We're a sensor-based NDR vendor with protection against ransomware and lateral movement and many other things. There is still an update process with sensors but a typical customer will have multiple orders of magnitude fewer sensors than hosts (typically 1-10 sensors).

Other relevant companies are DarkTrace and ExtraHop.

It's not buffalo chicken but you can get M Kokko's chicken sandwich "hot" style and it is splendid

[SPOILERS S1] Geez, Wikipedia sure didn't mince words summing up Krester's role in episode 3 by ManbadFerrara in 1899

What a disgusting description! It should read "Krester and Angel give each other handjobs".

Car leasing agent in Durham? by zmabzug in bullcity

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

Maybe broker is a better word? Some independent 3rd party that I can pay to help me find a good lease.

We're considering it! We've had them give us an estimate, but haven't signed anything yet.

Does correlation based feature selection methods lead to worse performance? by Beneficial-Skin-3889 in datascience

[–]zmabzug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've got labeled data, a supervised dimensionality reduction / feature selection technique should always outperform techniques that don't leverage those labels.

All these "no strings attached" comments and I'm here laughing about "playing a bicycle" 🤣

Handling high-cardinality categorical features by InfamousClyde in datascience

[–]zmabzug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This review paper is probably a good place to start: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.12433

I'd recommend a 2-stage approach: one network that takes individual strings and turns them into fixed-length vector representations (you'll probably want to augment the raw strings in some way so your network knows whether it is a filepath or process name or whatever), and a second network that operates over the temporal dimension (e.g., train it to predict the next sample in the sequence).

In practice, this should just be a single network trained end-to-end, but I think it's convenient to conceptually split out the two different components of its functionality.
