I work with what generally qualifies as big data (a large fraction of European e commerce payments). The vast majority of this data holds no new insights. So even for xgboost the training data is trimmed down. To get these models to work one can trim the data down further, so split out by some known characteristics. For titanic (obviously a way to small dataset) split by gender and/or class.

Nice little test, but man this AI writing is a pain. I understand that you want to churn out blog posts, but please don't write in this breathless style. Tell your LLM that it is writing a lab report.

The TAM that spacex quotes has nothing to do with Space. It is all AI. As in grok. This is a joke, and people that believe it are just providing exit liquidity.

Banking Circle | Data Scientist | London or Copenhagen | Full time

Banking Circle provides account and payment infrastructure to other regulated financial firms. You have probably never heard of us but we have probably moved money on your behalf at some point this month.

As part of this we need to screen payments for sanctions compliance and anti money laundering and fraud concerns. The team hiring builds the ML models that decide if the payment needs to go for manual review.

We’re a diverse mix of people (50% have PhDs) and we work a wide ranging set of problems.

Specifically we are looking for candidates to strengthen our GIS (geolocation) / graph (network) and NLP (genAI) capabilities.

A good candidate will have experience in two of the three areas, a track record of delivering business relevant results and some research experience.

Yes, Dutch civil servants must not be supervised oder subjected to scrutiny of American law makers. That is sort of self evident.

Majority of California based companies employee English only or English and Spanish speakers possibly with some Indian language as well. This leads to lots of problems when you are bilingual or bilingual in other languages such as German in French. Neither Apple nor Microsoft under this sort of language swapping well. Never mind rarer languages like Czech or Greek.

The gendarmerie already switched.

Only place I know that went back to MS is Munich city council. After MS put a big research office in the town.

Sorry what? While there are right wing idiots in various governments in the EU, the Trump admin is on a completely different level. Also the bosses of big tech are clamouring over each other to s** him off.

I’m not particularly patriotic or bothered about nations in general, but the yanks can go take a hike.

Fastmail runs exclusively of AWS in the US.

I looked into this, there are lots of people in forums discussing/ asking for EU based servers.

This is so dumb. But we’ll all end up with cheap LLMs I guess and maybe great cloud gaming.

The Shah fell after an ever increasing wave of student protests and violent crack downs.

The regime is doing better to hold on to power by killing more brutally, but there is no guarantee that will suffice to motivate its soldiers to kill the protesters in sufficient numbers to quell the unrest.

Ask Assad how killing his people worked out.

Just to be clear, I’m obviously against killing protesters.

I was going to use wireguard, but the setup is always such a pain. Then I realised that Tailscale was Canadian, so I’m happy to use it
