Well all the fancy tools give people confidence into their terrible data. Crap in leads to crap out

Yup. I hope we move back to data mining. I loved to joke that I put on my hardhat and go into the data mine every morning

I’ve been a professional data scientist for 5+ years and I’m okay at my job. Good enough to get 3 different jobs at non FAANG companies and I have already 3 or so hype trains and name changes of what words we use for the same tools and techniques. This AI hype is going to be another one of these with a few niche cases.

Most of my job is insisting on doing something correctly and then being told that doesn’t give the “correct” response based on leadership expectations. I just change what I do until I get the results that people want to see. I’ll just ride this hype wave out here for a few years here learning nothing new again. I’ll find another job based on my experience and requirements gathering to start the cycle again. Maybe I’ll get more data engineering skills which are actually valid

I still have my kbin.social account as well as this current one. Its good to have back ups for both

I just signed up and I know it’s still centralized but I love being able to just look at art. Besides anything that is anti -AI I am in for

Hiking and pace are very mental. It’s someone is slower than the rest of the group they should set the pace. You need to make sure they don’t fall behind because that will make them go even slower because they will lose the friendly chit chat and get discouraged.

You want the most experience hikers on the front and back. They both are needed to keep you group together but back is the just important unless you need a good navigator. Treat it like they did the LoTR put your Gandolf and Aragorn in the front and back while you hike
