Agreed, as an R and polars user. The fundamental advantage R holds over other languages/libraries is expressions. The ability to reference columns directly AND interoperate with vectorized base ops in R is unfair. Of course, this super power is equally confusing to learners, fraught for production code, etc.

The IWPR link from above (with data from the US BLS) suggests that the 320K women in construction trades represent 4% of the total field, implying that there are about 8 million total construction trade jobs in the US. I'm not sure how many construction workers hold 4 year degrees, but it seems plausible this would explain a large portion of the gap.

Crazy, I wonder what AWS's margin is on these unauthorized requests? Questionable incentives.

Seconded, only for our international contractors.

Sorry about that! We had a high volume of applicants and needed to take the listing down for sanity. Please send along a resume to karl.holub at nested-knowledge.com

Nested Knowledge | Machine Learning Engineer | Remote | https://about.nested-knowledge.com/

Nested Knowledge is building the future of Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by consolidating every step of the review process (search, screening, extraction, synthesis) in an updatable, collaborative environment. NK primarily solves biomedical SLR, and our users come from a variety of backgrounds, including academia, insurers, med device / pharma, and regulatory. To date, 2 million studies have been reviewed in our software.

We want you to build models taking our Robot Screener and Smart Tagging products to the next level and design automations in new areas, like critical appraisal. Our team is small, and you would be our first AI specialist, setting standards and frameworks in place. We value independence, creativity, and a focus on end-user value and experience over technology.

From a different direction, it was taught in one section of my university's data structures course. We were guinea pigs (https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]), but I recall the experience being fun and students largely enjoying D. Transitioning to C++/Java in later coursework and professionally was a breeze.

Good point, but headshots are essentially required in arenas other than job hunting. For a startup, it would be unprofessional to pitch investors without headshots of the founding team in the deck. Even in hiring, I'm willing to bet most hiring managers look candidates up on LinkedIn where they will see a headshot.

Does this dilute the headshot currency in the professional marketplace? If anyone can generate a flawless, idealized photo of themself, surely it reduces the signal headshots once provided: that you have the means to pay a photographer & are willing to invest the time / give a damn about appearing professional.

It might also damage the sense of identity they provide, if the generated images wander too far from reality of the source images.
