@aphysicist I'm reading this for a commercial lending business, not even manufacturing

@bernhardsson I would guess they use quantile regression and predict the 30th or something

@JohnMufasa1 @GergelyOrosz @peekknuf Data labellers play a part too. But the best data scientists and ML engineers label data. It's good practice and should be expected of the role.

[Dan Jordan @1DanJordan]

@GergelyOrosz @peekknuf Data labelling is the highest ROI activity for anyone developing ML systems, esp early on in the projects/products life. If you're not labelling data or interrogating your dataset to the point you know/remember many specific examples, you're not going to build something useful.

@chris_byrne Great stuff. Eircode was totally botched as an implementation. Paid for by Irish tax payers, should be free to access!

@timelesscolours A great Dún Laoghaire man. Proud to have his statue prominent along our sea front.

[Dan Jordan @1DanJordan]

@lennysan Whole classes of data science projects are gone. LLMs are so versatile, you can apply them in many cases where before a whole DS project was required.

Predictive modelling you still need a data scientist but even now one great one gets so much leverage, team sizes can shrink

@Willob @maisonneuve_ Loved the full page ad in the Work in Progress magazine

@Sam__Enright @o_mcpartlin @_fitzwilliam @cvi94 I run DS teams in Dublin and London and worked in DL research team in multinat previously.

Actual legit ML talent in Dublin is incredibly low. Majority of people are CV stuffing with Coursera projects.

Very few would make it in a top ML team/company. Better talent in London.

@Seanfrank We're still going strong at Wayflyer. Let us know if you need growth capital!

[Dan Jordan @1DanJordan]

@Willob Congrats Will!

@ciarannugent When you say "not high", what are you comparing it relative to?

[Dan Jordan @1DanJordan]

@aphysicist Thank you, these are my sorts if books

[Dan Jordan @1DanJordan]

@SCP_Hughes Last year someone did a "What if Hume St was pedestrianized" and it looked very nice

[Dan Jordan @1DanJordan]

@Keyes Or tax treatment of share options when exercised. You either pay CGT on unrealized gains if exercised, or if a part of a liquidation event, you pay income tax at 52%. It is insanity

@saleskhalifa How to sell shovels during the Gold rush

@andrewlamb1111 @ApacheArrow A wonderful wonderful contribution to the world

[Dan Jordan @1DanJordan]

@bernhardsson Proud early follower (and Russian bot). Bring back the blogposts 🙏

@charliermarsh You (and CC) have inspired me to start writing Python extensions in Rust
