The number of times I have written a long comment and then simply deleted it before posting is too high.

Lemmy just has a better vibe? Idk

my spinal cord has been severed and I feel hot prickles on my cheeks...

I read that as hot pickles and got realllllllly confused until I reread it.

I started judo because there was a demo at my elementary school and I thought it was cool.

17 years later, I have gotten to travel all over the world and meet a ton of really cool people. I haven't done judo the past few years due to COVID and grad school; however, I finally have time to get back into it again and I am really excited!

Good sacrifice techniques are so slick, so don't be shy about it. They are also a great setup for newaza!

George Takei feels like half the reason I still even used twitter.

A lot of the communities I interacted with because people shilling their products, but George remained.

Swapping to Mastodon was something I had low expectations for, but it turned out great.

Sadly I haven't. I might be travelling to Asia in the next year or two so it is definitely on my list of places to go. I would love to go to a university club and get destroyed.

I know it's an old thread, but I want there to be more DS stuff in the Lemmy.

Python is arguably the defacto standard. Jupyter gets used a lot (but shouldn't be used to frequently IMO).

I haven't used R but it seems to be a distant second to Python. That being said, it really depends on the industry!

Generally my setup is VSCode and Anaconda developing on remote VMs.

Nidan checking in. I believe I am eligible for sandan? Haven't checked xD

I have a mixed approach: I have a laptop with an RTX3060 (surprisingly good for small models and dev work). There are a few beefy servers I have access to through work/school which I leverage when I need more resources.

If I didn't have access to work/school servers, I would likely go with cloud or build a new desktop for myself. Most of my work has been with time series forecasting and anomaly detection so the models tend to be smaller. If you need bigger models this wouldn't work well for you.

I would love to share it, but I am waiting for two papers based on the work to finish peer review.

Poke me in August!

NLP isn't an area I know much about, but I find it really interesting that they used GPT-4 as the scoring mechanism. I do have concerns about this after the MIT "100% OF QUESTIONS CORRECT" fiasco recently, but it will likely be as equally or less biased than a human marker.

I know exactly what you mean. I even find that lemmy has had a less argumentative comments section. It is partially that I have avoided the wild communities, but it is still alarmingly chill.

Sorry for having a conversation. I didn't realize we came here to TALK. /s

I haven't found a good "wall of text" community yet. I am doing AI/ML research and was hoping that would grow quickly on lemmy. The Reddit equivalents had lots of comments and content.

I am really excited about GNNs too. I just submitted my PhD thesis on time series forecasting and anomaly detection for LTE/5G networks and I really think the next big jumps in that space are going to be graph-based.

My post-grad employment is in industry and I have a sneeking suspicion that the company will have me looking at them and I am pumped.

I can't pick just one technique because newaza and tachiwaza techniques both have their own allure.

For tachiwaza, I love uchi mata and seoi nage. It is so satisfying to hit a big throw with a clean landing. In newaza, juji gatame is my go to.
