[high haven]

it really be like this

[jovial oriole]

Haha theres probably enough things in this image to determine its exact location

[gritty zinc]

uploading this picture to tiktok real quick to get mariosis's address straight out of CCP's databases

[young shoal]

sez u rex you literally tried to get a picture of me from the video of my laptop

[high haven]

when i got my geolocation from just a picture of the lake i was running at

[high haven]

wtf?

not me

[young shoal]

oh maybe skyglow

[high haven]

literally sg

i told him he was being creepy

and wow

now i see you think we are the same

smh

[young shoal]

that was sg

well i mean

[high haven]

i see how it is

[young shoal]

data people

[high haven]

i will just treat you

and robin the same

[young shoal]

robin isn't as cool as i am

[high haven]

@grave cove

[young shoal]

he would agree

[high haven]

lmaooo

💀

[tardy rain]

My door is locked

[edgy crest]

What about your window though

[young shoal]

that doesn't stop me. i'm inside already

[high haven]

[jovial oriole]

Still

There seems to

Thank you

Very useful 💯

[high haven]

[jovial oriole]

What is this, belgium?

[high haven]

bro bing chat images suck

takes 30 minutes to generate an image

this is like

raspberry pi compute

[jovial oriole]

Seems like central europe somewhere

[young shoal]

it's london

[jovial oriole]

Just mid journey

[jovial oriole]

Huh

[young shoal]

rofl

[high haven]

yeah ik but just wanted to test it

since microsoft was all hype about it

[jovial oriole]

Ms also got a bunch of open ai

[tardy rain]

Ask chatgpt where it is

[jovial oriole]

It cant see, yet

Smh

[tardy rain]

Skill issue

[high haven]

its not wrong

quick

[young shoal]

I think climate change is one of the world’s biggest issues. I believe Daikin’s stance on carbon emissions is an important step towards becoming environmentally sustainable, and joining Daikin Applied would give me the opportunity to help solve climate change.
thoughts on "Why do you want to work for us?" answer?

[high haven]

lets pull a tron

[tardy rain]

In my mind's eye

[high haven]

and go into the internet

maybe

[rugged owl]

Chat GPT is located: 192.168.1.1

[high haven]

i can catch a digimon

while im there

[rugged owl]

Digimon? more like losermon

[jovial oriole]

.2.1*

[high haven]

oh before i forget this was a review on the "FUNDAMENTALS OF DATA ENGINEERING" book

lmao

why you look for DS in a DE book

[young shoal]

thoughts on "Why do you want to work for us?" answer?

😔

[high haven]

its ok

sounds kinda standard ig

[young shoal]

good enough for me 😔

[tardy rain]

Doesnt daikin make ac units

[young shoal]

yep

[tardy rain]

Not very climate friendly

[young shoal]

and refrigerators

well they're trying

[rugged owl]

Yea, review forgot the title of the book. They did justify their though process though.

[young shoal]

they're the biggest hvacr company in the world, apparently

[high haven]

yeah like they picked up the wrong book or something. or didnt even know what DE was.

[tardy rain]

Just say you appreciate the art of the AC unit saving you from humid hot summers

They really are terrible

[young shoal]

bruh

i can't say that

[high haven]

[young shoal]

rofl, what

[high haven]

yeah back then

job titles were more like

"Statistician"

or similar

[young shoal]

well yeah, but it's not like the idea didn't exist yet

[high haven]

eh i would be skeptical of anyone claiming 15+ years of DS experience

especially bc back then its just completely dif work

[young shoal]

eh

[high haven]

trust me psvm

its not as standard as swe

[young shoal]

eh

[high haven]

wow ok

i guess ill just delete this then

[rugged owl]

OK, so

[young shoal]

😔

[high haven]

its deleted

[young shoal]

😭

[high haven]

dw its not you

i already foresee myself

being bonked by sg

[high haven]

see?

[rugged owl]

[young shoal]

indeed

[rugged owl]

Something something nothing is new under the sun

[young shoal]

welp, interview time. bye

[high haven]

yes the math-magicians were the real data scientists

[gritty zinc]

break their legs

[high haven]

gl

[young shoal]

phone call, so...

[high haven]

anyway the current DS involves more DE and software skills

than math

in most cases

prove me wrong

[young shoal]

they are late

[rugged owl]

They are always late

[young shoal]

😔

ooh here it is

oh

[rugged owl]

Gl

[young shoal]

they hung up before i could pick it up

😬

[high haven]

🕯️

[tardy rain]

Gonna need an entire 🕎 at this point

[high haven]

wow

my only meeting today was cancelled

and im off monday

so thats nice

also

i basically won an argument about AI

in the company-wide

chat

[twilit obsidian]

noice!

[high haven]

with all the devs + tech peeps

[twilit obsidian]

😎

[high haven]

ikr?

[twilit obsidian]

🙏

[high haven]

im waiting for the other shoe to drop

[twilit obsidian]

o.o

[high haven]

@rugged owl am i wrong though?

[rugged owl]

[high haven]

also

my doggo keeps whining

hes bored

lmao

[twilit obsidian]

time for walkies

[young shoal]

i think it went ok

i called them back lol and they picked up. luckily they didn't have like, a main phone entrypoint for their company

[twilit obsidian]

😄

I hope it went well!

[young shoal]

yeah the only question i sort of bungled was the "do you know what our company does", but i still did pretty well on that question

[tardy rain]

Is it fridges

[young shoal]

no they don't make fridges lmao

also, why does google send me emails telling me my email storage is almost used up

positive feedback loop headass

[tranquil iron]

because your email storage is almost used up?

[young shoal]

but then my email storage will be even closer to being used up

then they'll send more

[tranquil iron]

oh, I get it now

[young shoal]

anyways, very quick turnaround. she said i would get a response on tuesday next week

[tranquil iron]

sorry, I was a bit slow on the uptake there, lol

[young shoal]

i'd be with another intern, attached to a group with 6 engineers

how do i write a followup to ask if i'm getting an offer or not 😬. it's been 2 weeks for this one company after the final interview 😬

[tardy rain]

Chatgpt moment

[high haven]

i need a chatgpt emoji

yknow with the icon

gotta turn this into an emoji

[clear acorn]

Ask chatgpt to do it

[young shoal]

notion AI time i guess

[high haven]

chatgpt can you turn yourself into an emoji

thanks

Subject: Checking in on my job application status and interview feedback

Dear [Hiring Manager’s Name],

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to check in on the status of my job application for the [Position] role at [Company Name]. I am excited about the opportunity to join your team, and I would appreciate an update on where you are in the hiring process.

I also wanted to inquire about any feedback from the recent interview I had with your team. I value any constructive feedback that can help me improve my interviewing skills and enhance my future job prospects.

Please let me know if there are any updates or if there is any additional information I can provide to you that would help you in making a hiring decision.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards,
[Your Name]

Subject line is weird

[high haven]

yeah def weird

throw that part out lol

[tardy rain]

But the rest is ok with some adjustment

Smh even at stuff this thing is supposed to be good at it sucks

[young shoal]

i think i would just reply in the existing email chain

[high haven]

just say "make this less suck-y"

[young shoal]

i would also cut out the entire middle paragraph

[clear acorn]

I write the main stuff myself and ask gpt to edit it

[young shoal]

and the last paragraph

[high haven]

just cut out everything lmao

[young shoal]

yeah most of that is shit lol

[high haven]

why is it so formal

[tardy rain]

Formal is fine

They dont know whoever its going to

Supposedly they only talked a couple times

[high haven]

which one is this psvm

[young shoal]

uh, i've had 3 interviews with them

the kidney company

[high haven]

this might seem like a good opportunity to learn some stuff

[young shoal]

indeed

this one is one i'd want

[high haven]

yeah 6 peeps carrying 2 interns should be doable

[young shoal]

carrying 😭

[high haven]

am i wrong

[young shoal]

i don't want to be dead weight but it's C# and i know none, so probably not

[high haven]

ah should be easy enough to pick up

but theyre very opinionated

[young shoal]

presumably. it is similar to java, apparently

[high haven]

in the way they do things

not that i know that much about it

lol

[grave cove]

reported

[high haven]

our stack is mostly this though

[young shoal]

😛😛😛😛😛

and i didn't even need to use my "why daikin" answer!

[high haven]

nice

[young shoal]

I didn't get asked many behavioral questions, and the ones I did get asked I was well prepared for

plus I got to talk about my projects a little

[foggy jungle]

I FOUND AN APARTMENT

🥹 IM GOING TO CRY

it's also... wickedly expensive, but it's downtown and right next to my work so.

[young shoal]

😤

oop

[foggy jungle]

Considering it's a fairly large city, frankly I'd probably be willing to pay extra to cut down on my commute through the traffic anyway

[young shoal]

housing stipend?

ooh and this company offers a housing stipend

[foggy jungle]

I don't actually know if I'm getting a housing stipend.

But I was prepared to pay the full duration of the rent for the 2 months and any deposits up front.

So... given that this apartment was like "Oh no this happens all the time, you're good, no hoops to jump through"

[young shoal]

😤😤Chad landlord

[foggy jungle]

She was super nice.

[high haven]

oh my. congrats dude

looks like lots of good things

are happening to peeps today

also youre awake

another one 🤠

[foggy jungle]

Oh they're sending me a laptop and stuff.

Neat.

If anyone wants to know some cool stuff, we've added our first banned GitHub account to our little security accomplishments as of this morning.
And we were able to detect, identify, and report a malware author within minutes of them joining the Python Discord last night.

[high haven]

oh dang

thats pretty neat

[young shoal]

sheesh

[foggy jungle]

I just found the strangest package on PyPI.

[grave cove]

Terrible fucking city

Last time I went there I almost got scammed by a con artist

[young shoal]

hm. do i reply in the existing chain or send a new one directly @tardy rain >w<

[grave cove]

Jokes on him it was I who fooled him out of $2

Downtown Dallas have some of the weirdest people fr

Can't even enjoy my burger without getting panhandled

[tardy rain]

Reply to the chain

[young shoal]

ugh, this is so annoying

why can't they just give me an offer or say i'm not getting an offer

Dear First Last,

I hope you are doing well. I wanted to check in on the status of my job application.

Thanks,

psvm

do i need to say like, "am i still being considered"

[rugged owl]

Noooooooooo

[young shoal]

what then 😭

[rugged owl]

Are you contacting the recruiter or hiring manager?

[young shoal]

recruiter

i don't have the hiring manager's email

[rugged owl]

Just be like:

Hi <recruiter_name>,

I hope you are doing well. I enjoyed speaking with <hiring_manger> on <day>. I just wanted to check in and see if there’s an update on the timeline or status for the <job_position>. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks/Best,
<Name>

Mentioning hiring manager helps show you are interested and engaged.

[young shoal]

hmm, good idea

my last interview was with the team member i'd be working with

[rugged owl]

Ideally, it's been ~ 5 days to 1 week though. Depending on the company they might be still in the interview stage or review stage.

[young shoal]

it's been 2 weeks 😭

[rugged owl]

Then just use the team member name instead.

[young shoal]

yeah

[rugged owl]

So you already been through:
Recruiter -> Hiring manager -> team member

[young shoal]

yeah

[rugged owl]

Yea, follow up. Having the second interview is generally good. Although they can ghost you at any stage

[young shoal]

😔

[rugged owl]

This is going to be me when I come back after my vacation.

[young shoal]

document ;pens

I hope you are doing well. I enjoyed speaking with Abrar on 9 March. I just wanted to check in and see if there's an update on the timeline or status for the IT Intern position.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks,
what do we think 😔

do i use last name

[rugged owl]

I like to keep it casual and use just first name, and start with "Hi name"

[young shoal]

😔

perhaps

they did use "hi first" to me, so it's probably fine

[rugged owl]

Using dear feels like I"m writing a dear john letter

[young shoal]

😔

i've just been using "Hello First Last"

[rugged owl]

Eh, first is enough.

You got to make them feel like they've already hired you

[young shoal]

😩

ok sending 😬

[rugged owl]

Probably hear back on Monday, late afternoon on Friday

[young shoal]

yeah

or, never 😬

[rugged owl]

I sent a request for a quote to my nearest car dealer via their website. The email's subject I got back is: "Here's more info on the vehicle you were interested in"
But the body is just asking me to make appointment or to call.

[young shoal]

😔

[rugged owl]

Smells like bots or lazy copy paste

[high haven]

never go there fr

fr

well i like the museums

but thats not really downtown

[grave cove]

fr

bad city

[young shoal]

i'm gonna be impulsively refreshing my email all week

[high haven]

apparently bad time to be interviewing as a DS https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vineetvashishta_datascience-hiringprocess-activity-7045037181396013056-DaXo

[rugged owl]

I feel like every city has a direction to avoid. Chicago it's South, Atlanta it's West.

[young shoal]

the thing to avoid is the city itself

[rugged owl]

Also this is mostly true. Hence my constant jabs at "WHAT IS A P-VALUE"

[young shoal]

have you learned what a p value is

[rugged owl]

This point though rings most true.

[young shoal]

huh. most of the time i get told exactly what i'll be doing

[rugged owl]

Almost every fing DS job post has the generic af "Bring value to business"

[young shoal]

well, that's pretty much every job isn't it

[rugged owl]

Yes, but it's like:

This one specify CV, but most are "develops custom ML models"

[twilit obsidian]

portland it's everywhere

[rugged owl]

All of them are like," You'll be using a hammer. "
FOR WHAT? DO WHAT EXACTLY? To build a house? To build furniture? To get passwords from kneecaps?

Makes prepping for interview next to impossible.

[young shoal]

😔

i try to ask about what the next interview will be about

[high haven]

[tardy rain]

Kind of hard to tell you what you'll be doing if they cant show you

And kind of hard to show you when they have to contain hatred for the things they use and people they have to talk

[rugged owl]

Tools, what models were implemented before, a very basic level problem, etc gives more insight than "Applies new concepts to solve problems"

Literally anything can provide more context than the descriptions all these Data scientist job posts have.

[high haven]

bro seriously this one

at least with eng, theres slightly more structure

sometimes

[rugged owl]

The ABSOLUTE worse is when the job posts uses their internal group/titles. Like "Global Regulatory Intelligence"

[high haven]

including therapeutic areas!

[rugged owl]

Engineering, at least you can ask stack "mean stack" and know generally what's used and what is done.

[high haven]

mern?

[young shoal]

mongo, uhhh

angular?

react?

oh, express and node

[rugged owl]

Technically is MEAN stack lol (From wiki: MEAN (MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS (or Angular), and Node.js))

[tardy rain]

You think mern would be pretty descriptive except its react 16, last decade's mongo and single digit version node 💀

[rugged owl]

So PSV is right

Wait, mern and mean are the same?

[high haven]

angular vs react

[young shoal]

😔

[rugged owl]

Google why you do dis?

[high haven]

except mern is more popular

because react

[rugged owl]

Ah I see it, sentence 2

"A variation known as MERN replaces Angular with React. "

[lament cairn]

from what ive been hearing, job posting writers are very scared of actually writing whatever tf the actual job involves

[tardy rain]

God forbid they do their jobs properly

[low chasm]

must've not been on their job posting

[high haven]

its the weekend

⏳

ive literally been waiting all week

also my friend just sent me these

https://openai.com/blog/march-20-chatgpt-outage

and then the fix https://github.com/redis/redis-py/commit/66a4d6b2a493dd3a20cc299ab5fef3c14baad965

then the commentary https://github.com/redis/redis-py/issues/2624

[gritty kernel]

the chat.openai.com website is literally unusable

it's so buggy

[lament cairn]

clearly a technology that will take over the world

[high haven]

scalable ML systems is rip

esp bc theyre probably doing inference on CPU

which gives poor performance but is cheap

compared to GPU

[gritty kernel]

im not even talking about the AI itself

just like navigating the website is so buggy

and it has a 10% chance of erroring

[high haven]

yeah part of that is the scaling

too much traffic

[gritty kernel]

the errors maybe

but there is no excuse for not even being able to click chats and view past chat history

and chat renaming doesn't work half the time

[high haven]

i honestly am surprised they kept that feature

because retrieving that data

sounds like a headache

since users arent going to be clicking through their chat history often

like discord wrote about how much trouble they had

to do it on discord

[gritty kernel]

i am clicking through my chat history often that's the problem

[high haven]

https://discord.com/blog/how-discord-stores-trillions-of-messages

[high haven]

ah yeah they probably didnt choose a good data store for that use case

they are assuming users arent doing so

at least thats what im guessing

[gritty kernel]

CREATE TABLE messages (
   channel_id bigint,
   bucket int,
   message_id bigint,
   author_id bigint,
   content text,
   PRIMARY KEY ((channel_id, bucket), message_id)
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (message_id DESC);

seeing discord's SQL schema is weird lol

[high haven]

yeah

[gritty kernel]

i wonder what the real schema looks like

[high haven]

me too

also this migration sounds wild

lmao

also i guess rust saved the day

lmao

We begin dual-writing new data to Cassandra and ScyllaDB and concurrently begin to provision ScyllaDB’s Spark migrator. It requires a lot of tuning, and once we get it set up, we have an estimated time to completion: three months.

That timeframe doesn’t make us feel warm and fuzzy inside, and we’d prefer to get value faster. We sit down as a team and brainstorm ways we can speed things up, until we remember that we’ve written a fast and performant database library that we could potentially extend. We elect to engage in some meme-driven engineering and rewrite the data migrator in Rust.

[gritty kernel]

i wonder if anyone's in this server ever applied to discord

or have been in this server before they got hired by discord

[foggy jungle]

Robin was talking about applying once he was of age.

[gritty kernel]

i know

i could apply for an internship lol

[high haven]

bro

have you seen those discord JDs?

10X devs

each of them

bet

not that im saying you shouldnt

i think that you should. lol

[gritty kernel]

they offer $20,000 towards transition surgery apparently

[high haven]

oh they were at GDC

https://discord.com/blog/discord-at-gdc-2023

and had a booth

[high haven]

have you seen their regular salaries, they can afford to do a lot for their employees

https://discord.com/jobs/6588306002

[gritty kernel]

eh that's for senior engineers anyway

[foggy jungle]

That's pretty neat, actually.

[high haven]

platform engineer

role

[foggy jungle]

I imagine trying to get healthcare to pay for that is a nightmare.

[gritty kernel]

senior platform engineer role

[foggy jungle]

Good job Discord.

[gritty kernel]

still

[high haven]

bro almost all their positions are senior

have you seen it?

[gritty kernel]

maybe they're not hiring junior devs

they only have one intern position listed anyway

[high haven]

they were previously

like last year

lol

there were a lot of positions back then

like 40+

both MLE and SWE

i remember looking at the MLE positions and shaking my head

[gritty kernel]

8+ years of experience

is that even a lot for a senior position

sounds like a lot

[high haven]

eh

if its a staff position

that would make sense

sense staff is > senior

oh this one is SENIOR STAFF

[gritty kernel]

i have no experience so far so looks like i will not be working for discord anytime soon

[high haven]

so 8+ years is actually low

[gritty kernel]

not as an engineer at leaset

[high haven]

since its senior -> staff -> senior staff

[gritty kernel]

https://discord.com/jobs/6367013002 this one is only 3 years

[high haven]

ah voice and video though

need to have some experience in a sort of niche domain

[gritty kernel]

actually this job sounds pretty good, 3 years of experience and you only need to know elixir c++ and rust

[gritty kernel]

yeah

is audio/video that niche though

[high haven]

its a bit niche compared to most software dev positions

[gritty kernel]

plus it's not listed as a requirement, only as a "bonus point"

[high haven]

yeah i mean youll just have to figure it out

[gritty kernel]

and easy 165k minimum

• equity

[high haven]

and if youre okay with staying in that domain going forward

[gritty kernel]

that's true

[high haven]

its only niche bc im sure you have to do some stuff lower on the OSI stack

i think

thats not my expertise either

lol

dont ask me how audio/video travels across the network

i know nothing

[heavy pawn]

How audio/video travels across a network?

[warped sentinel]

in packets

[heavy pawn]

How much per packet?

[warped sentinel]

It depends on where you measure that

some packets may be fragmented in the network if they are too large

[heavy pawn]

Damn

[warped sentinel]

it's a feature, not a bug

[foggy jungle]

Stop Lian-Li, you cannot do that.

[vale raven]

What’re you hiding in that memory space???

[foggy jungle]

Given that my passtime lately involves toying with things designed to exfiltrate data from my computer, it's a safe bet that most of my personal information is in a fairly safe location.

Specifically, this happens to be a legitimate tool trying to poll what I believe to be SSD utilization metrics.

But I care very little to see those, so I just deal with the calls to the protected memory space.

[crystal spruce]

i thought you'd like

have a separate computer entirely

[foggy jungle]

You've seen screenshots of my hypervisor...

[crystal spruce]

the heck is a hypervisor

[jaunty wraith]

it's when the supervisor evolves

[foggy jungle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor

https://tenor.com/view/baka-idiot-anime-gif-16811539

[small coral]

lmao

[jaunty wraith]

whoever gave the intern access to drop tables on production promoted to CTO

[foggy jungle]

That was more or less the top comment on the reddit thread I found that on too

[jaunty wraith]

no original thought

[crystal spruce]

lmao

[high haven]

this was funny

also interns smh

[high haven]

I think people worried about junior programmers becoming obsolete should rather be worried about junior programmers replacing seniors. It's easy to believe that your mind stays younger as you grow older. However, hanging around discord with passionate 15 year olds quickly shows me how calcified I have become. I might think that my elegant take on frontend frameworks and component-based CSS, my ideally crafted git workflow and observability practices are the embodiment of craft. In the meantime, the kids think I could just as well write COBOL while they merge their 30th pull request of the day. This will enable their fully automated CICD to deploy the newly created artifacts. Every random repository that gets shared on Tiktok gets 300 (3000? 30000?) stars within a few days. While me writing opensource back in 1998 meant maybe getting a single patch merged because I knew someone on IRC who cared, today, it means growing up fast AF and becoming an agile tech lead quickly.

bruh

tiktok? i cant

[tardy rain]

People are sharing git repos on tiktok?

To beg for stars or something?

[thin cloak]

COBOL is valid thou I seen open positions for such

[thin cloak]

I can't and will not TikTok

Seniors got options thou....move to management role or retire or move with new tech...don't worry too much too worry can be counterproductive if it paralyze you

On the other hand sticking to COBOL can be a valid move too

Real unsolicited LinkedIn mail lmao

[rough sapphire]

1 = prime

[acoustic moss]

how long have you left it running

[jaunty wraith]

who is momo

[high haven]

bro idek

[high haven]

cobol tho

[thin cloak]

Ye I quickly ignored the spam

What if they pay alot thou and your job will be "secure" because nobody wants it

Another plus maybe no disruptive new frameworks like in js

[tardy rain]

Thats not a real worry

[thin cloak]

Kinda weird thou wfh Cobol job

At least give the green screen VAX terminals

[high haven]

s c a m

jk

maybe

also

driving to austin today lol

also ×2

the amount of times people say "GTP" instead of "GPT"

i cant

this isnt biology 👏

/endrant

gotta drive. bye folks

[grave cove]

I hope you recover

[river hamlet]

Yh soo...

Why its not 1.11111?

[tropic lichen]

hrmmmm

I think it might actually be something to do with that being the smallest normalised value possible?

since the mantissa in all floats has to start with either 10 or 01 in order to be normalised

i could be wrong though

Not tasty prefer Kobe beef

Holy shit

There was a legal document I was translating, so I decided to check for consistency with GPT-4

Since I can't load all of it at once, I told it to wait for me to feed it all to it, and that I would say "done" when I was done so it would start to check

It actually started checking by itself, but what surprised me is that IT GUESSED WHERE THE DOCUMENT ENDS

[young shoal]

isn't that precisely what you'd expect it to be good at?

[wide meadow]

Too bad it hallucinated where to change... sigh

[blissful moth]

what uni is that?

I bet some universities in Canada are cheaper going as an international student vs out of state in the US.

I remember this time talking with some group of people who were from Canada. One mentioned needing surgery. I was about to say "Wow, that must be expensive."
Then I remembered Canadians don't go bankrupt from hospital bills.

I plan on staying up late too

we can be sleep deprived together

[rugged owl]

[tardy rain]

Smth smth clocks go forward tonight

[carmine apex]

not doggo either

[high haven]

[vale raven]

Why?

Am super duper smort

[carmine apex]

good advice comes from cats not dogs

plus you're shenanigans, which is a sus name

neither do I what are you talking about

FAKE NEWS

[tranquil iron]

for what it's worth, I think "shenanigans" is a great word

[jaunty wraith]

stats doubt: how would you predict a daily value based on kinda cumulative data?
I say kinda because it's not monotonically increasing

[high haven]

pretty sure theres a number of time series forecasting techniques

not my expertise tho

maybe sg may know more

[rugged owl]

What exactly do you mean by "Kinda cumulative data"?
Like, for weather, instead of having a daily value each day, you might have a measurement one day, two measurements another, missing on the third day?

[rugged owl]

I know NOTHING

[high haven]

thats my line

cant steal my motto

[rugged owl]

I already took this as an undergrad

[high haven]

ayyy there you go

[rugged owl]

[high haven]

[rugged owl]

First 2 I already took during undergrad.

[high haven]

this is why im moving away from stats direction

going into eng direction if possible

[rugged owl]

I don't ever want to touch Bayesian statistics.

[high haven]

plus the business never listens to the numbers anyway

unless it proves their point

i literally watched it happen to someone else

and i was like

[high haven]

i listen to one bayesian podcast

and thats only bc i follow another podcast from some biostats peeps which recommended them

[rugged owl]

No doubt it's useful. But

[high haven]

not so standard deviations

nowadays, ive reduced those types of podcasts

and listen to more coding ones

much more interesting

cybersec is another place in the business thats in a similar boat lmao

[rugged owl]

Reminds me of speaking to a C suite from the UK.

Dude had this assertive vibe.

[high haven]

uk + c suite

im jk

americans are probs worse

[rugged owl]

C level?

If that was a joke,

[high haven]

ye

pretty bad

but what can you expect from gov

actually some industries are super tech-backwards

too

[tardy rain]

Lmaoooo

[rugged owl]

tbf, if it aint' broke, don't fix it DON"T 'INNOVATE' FOR THE SAKE OF INNOVATE.

[high haven]

japan software

gets like no investment

actually one youtuber explained it pretty well why

[rugged owl]

User error.

[high haven]

@west zephyr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqMSWuSeDPA

[rugged owl]

Asia has a "I'm older so I'm correct no matter what" society.

[high haven]

the tldr is cultural. jp peeps believe there are "spirits" in objects, whether inanimate or not. so all their focus is on hardware, robots, etc. instead of software

having a software job in jp was actually looked upon negatively for the longest time

ikr? it explains so much omg

i was like

SO THATS why

[rugged owl]

Be China. Only spirits they believe is money

[high haven]

every tech person:

also they probably have no one who can actually standup a db for them

as sad as that sounds

for like scientists and stuff, yes. for tech? who knows 🥴

this is p bad

[crystal spruce]

can't relate

tmr is Tuesday for me

[low chasm]

hah, I've got school off tomorrow

[young shoal]

L timezone

[crystal spruce]

I technically have school off tmr because I have exams

so I still have to go in for my exam but other than that school is off

[young shoal]

I have an exam also

[low chasm]

I have school off and no exams

[young shoal]

oh yeah? well you're cringe

[low chasm]

sounds like someone who doesn't have school off tomorrow talking

[crystal spruce]

I agree with psv that you are cringe

it's 2 on 1 now

[low chasm]

I'm calling backup

@grave cove

[grave cove]

the fuck do you want

[crystal spruce]

lmao

[grave cove]

i have school tomorrow

[low chasm]

sounds like a skill issue

[crystal spruce]

insulting your backup seems detrimental to your cause

[low chasm]

is it insulting to state facts!?

[young shoal]

sometimes

like

yo momma so stupid, she threw a rock at the ground and missed

[grave cove]

don't make me skip the next week just to spite you

because im a senior and i will do that

[rugged owl]

Jk, can't relate. On vacation

[high haven]

i have tomorrow off

hehe

[rugged owl]

[young shoal]

pto 😔

[high haven]

oh wait youre off too

[rugged owl]

[high haven]

also i saw this in a slack im in and i was like rip

🕯️

[young shoal]

pulling a ringringring

but also, oof

[high haven]

💀

yeah dude i cant even imagine

[rugged owl]

Yea, I saw a bunch of those a few weeks back.

Being on H1B has to be hard.

[high haven]

it was when all the layoffs were happening yeah

i mean

not like they arent still happening i guess

[young shoal]

also there was a nice big chemical spill into my city's water supply

[high haven]

rip

where is mina

she can probably relate

[young shoal]

😩 😭

[high haven]

[young shoal]

isn't this just UB on line 4 lol

[rugged owl]

What she got laid off?

[young shoal]

no she lives near a toxic spill lmao

[high haven]

this

[rugged owl]

Oh

[high haven]

didnt it happen twice too

[rugged owl]

Lmk when that third arm starts growing.

[high haven]

wait gimme a sec

oh wait

it was just another derailment

but no chemical spill

this time

[young shoal]

apparently referencing an uninitialized variable is fine as long as you don't deref it. which makes sense

i think that's true in rust also. making a raw pointer is safe

[rugged owl]

Did someone say NULL pointers?

🚪

[wraith hound]

as is MaybeUninit::uninit

[young shoal]

indeed

[high haven]

that 2nd emote is cursed

btw

[rugged owl]

Wait, nvm I think those are different characters.

[young shoal]

uncultured

[thin cloak]

Stop adding more spills into the water supply ...

[high haven]

alright

enough coding for tonight

my mind has been thoroughly effaced

still dont know how mar does this stuff

smh

[young shoal]

probably just from living in the UK

[high haven]

lmao is this from a real anime

[young shoal]

syrup out

[rugged owl]

No idea tbh. No idea where half my emojis comes from either.

[young shoal]

not like the other weebs

[rugged owl]

LOL

I feel like "highly specialized" can both be a good or bad thing.

[young shoal]

in this case, it's absolutely a bad thing

[rugged owl]

[low chasm]

favorite anime?? 👀

oop

[rugged owl]

Those are all movies. That's cheating.

[low chasm]

based choices, though

[rugged owl]

Oh right

3 of the 4 you listed are on my "watch list"

[young shoal]

wwy above your name is a hot take

[rugged owl]

then again, majority of anime are on my "watch list"

Ain't no one got time to watch

[low chasm]

I want to eat your pancreas is in my list

alongside all the movies you've listed

[young shoal]

but you put them in one anyway smh

[rugged owl]

[young shoal]

mitsuha 😭😭

but they got together 🥺🥺

[rugged owl]

wow

[gritty kernel]

you want to eat my what 😨

[rugged owl]

spoilers

[young shoal]

it's like 14 years old

[low chasm]

horimiya is mega based

[young shoal]

almost older than me

[rugged owl]

And also, the original director was going to cut at the bridge scene.

WDYM 14 YEARS OLD

[young shoal]

it's at least like 5

fr

[rugged owl]

[young shoal]

isn't it?

[rugged owl]

It's 7...

Yes, too bad I already knew this.

[young shoal]

yeah well, close enough

[low chasm]

you should watch horimiya

[gritty kernel]

horimiya is good

[low chasm]

it's getting extra content in July 👀

it ain't sad, but it's a great romance

romcom, but not a whole lot of emphasis on the com

wholesome too, pretty based

[gritty kernel]

?

[low chasm]

they're animating arcs from the manga that were skipped

[gritty kernel]

ah

[rugged owl]

[low chasm]

it's 120 chapter+ manga, the anime was only 12 (13?) episodes

although, they still did a pretty great job animating a lot of the important stuff

[foggy jungle]

Alright I gotta go back and delete all this now.

[high haven]

i dont really watch anime but im pretty sure those are all sad ones

[rugged owl]

📸

[high haven]

syru why is your taste in anime just like your taste in music

jk

[gritty kernel]

i can easily watch 20 episodes in a night

[low chasm]

damn

[high haven]

what the

[low chasm]

ooh, have any of yall read grand blue

[gritty kernel]

ok maybe an exaggeration

but it's a lot

[high haven]

[rugged owl]

Grand blue is probably on my manga read list

[high haven]

wild

[rugged owl]

Forever

[low chasm]

peeeeak comedy, nearly every chapter had me actually LMAOing

[high haven]

i also dont read manga lol

[rugged owl]

I keep adding to my watch and read list, but never do

[foggy jungle]

I like sad stuff.

[high haven]

i bet

its not bad

[rugged owl]

I actually can't read long mangas. Just because I can't keep track of characters for the life of me.

"who is this again?"

[low chasm]

the worst culprit of that is the jjk manga

[gritty kernel]

same

[rugged owl]

"Do I care about this character? I forgot"

[low chasm]

I'm caught up, and I have no idea what in the fuck is happening

[rugged owl]

"Oh wait, that's the main character. whoops"

[low chasm]

Since like, three arcs ago

I dunno if that's bad writing, or I'm just dumb

although, grand blue handles all of this pretty well

[rugged owl]

It's why anime has each character with a different hair color

[low chasm]

Grand blue handles a lot pretty well, 100% recommend

[rugged owl]

Also, I was going to ask. Why not just go into full SWE

[high haven]

what do you think i spent the past few days learning

i told mar this stuff is so tedious

[high haven]

but he was like its "therapeutic"

[rugged owl]

(SOME OF THESE EMOJIS UNDER NAME THIS IS JUST WTF)

[high haven]

trying to figure out this thing they call frontend. for now.
