Any recommendation for CO2 sensors?

If you don't mind ~3m resolution you could pay Planet labs for a roughly once a day (weather dependent) Google Earth. However, large parts of google earth uses aerial (i.e. non satellite) imagery. So yeah, way of. Also, if you do a qui

Definitely true (not that should stop anyone, little projects like these are a great way to get exposed to other languages). From my personal experience of doing AoC in Julia this year, my Julia code started out smelling a lot like Python,

Agreed. I am just fascinated by the fact that they made an few million easily, and instead of rolling that into something productive they went for fraud.

As far as I understand they were making pretty good bank with Alameda doing crypto arbitrage. Could probably have been set for life just doing that. Human psychology is funny. Not content with being stinking rich in their 20's, they em

- Improve my online presence, mostly through some blog posts. - See if I can squeeze a publication or two out of the stuff we're doing at work. - Make some more meaningful open source contributions

Data lake? More like data pond

Yeah I feel a lot of companies could do with running their problems past a consultant first. Also, w.r.t hiring in cases like these, I think often the experienced candidates can smell that this won't be a good gig so don't apply,

Harsh, but funnier than how I phrased it.

Honestly, I can't tell you how many jobs ads I saw where I was wondering: "What would they expect me to bring to the table here?" Some companies just don't have the data, or heck even the need, for data scientist yet try

There is a bit of a joke that a data scientist is someone who can do better stats then the average SWE and can write better code than the average statistician. Both of those are relatively low bars to clear though
317.
by fnands 4y ago
Tangentially, I also think the term data scientist has been so abused as to almost be meaningless at this point. When I was applying for jobs it could range from anything from "knows how to use MS Excel" to "Can train large

I was about to comment, if you like Fortran's syntax for numerical computation, you should try Julia. I feel it's basically the spiritual successor to Fortran, without all the historical baggage.

Thanks for the input. I've been hearing about wakefield accelerators for a long time, but never got into the nitty gritty of it. Is the beam quality a fundamental limiting factor, or is it solvable (at least theoretically). It sees the

Now that is some proper sci-fi weaponry. Questionable if practical, but so cool

As soon as I read "whose family also summered in the same patch of northern pines" I knew where this story was going. Basically read as: we started a failing company then used family connections to raise a fuckton of money to buy

Seems like a sweet gig

My worry would be maintenance. Yeah sure, you can get it for cheap, but will it take 6 months every time you need a replacement part?

Great to see them sending over an engineer for this one. Speaks to a kind of openness that's refreshing to see coming from Intel.

Interesting. Yeah, some of my running buddies report no appetite for about an hour after running. I on the other hand am usually ravenous soon after exercise. When I run more than 20 km I get the kind of bottomless hunger I used to have as
