Bowl Leader
Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

Your procurement team got wined and dined.
Yup !
I dont wanna throw the Tool's name out here but my previous role had to implement an elephant whose implementation decision was made before hiring me. I tried to speak my mind that its useless BUT no one would listen. It was a daily battle for 3+ years to get that thing rolled out and i gave up, quit the job. Best decision of my life.
Heard it was discontinued right after i quit as my role dint get filled.
Management wouldn't accept it was a bad bet, users wouldn't accept the tool to be useful, IT was a hot mess and the maintenance was eating up $s like nobody's business.
Sounds about right… been there done that. Assuming your team didn’t have a say on the decision to move? Best you can do is just manage expectations with your stakeholders and document your issues and time invested in work around. As long as your leadership is aware of the issues, they *should* protect you and your team.
In some ways, we are being protected, as I have done exactly that. The challenge is that it has made the work unecessarily difficult and as unrewarding as possible.
My team actively opposed the decision. We were overruled. Now, I am not sure I want to spend the necessary time to prove OACS is terrible.
OAC is a beast - did a massive OAC implementation back in 2018 with OBIA mounted on IaaS, was tough. What area are you encountering issues with?
Out of curiosity PWC1, what do you think makes OACs better. In my career, I have used Looker, Power BI, Tableau, and now OACS. I an say something positive about each, except OACS. I haven't found anything where I believe OACS excels. But by all means, I am willing to listen because this is really having a detrimental impact on my team's performance.
Kind of.
I'm looking at both academic and industry bioinformatics positions and Northwestern (where I am now) is near the bottom of the list unless I receive a high quality work laptop because some of the proprietary tools they require to do basic things are extremely inconvenient and incompatible with the distros/environments I like to run on my personal laptop and desktop computer. I should add that these aren't even unusual...things like the most up-to-date version of Ubuntu or Windows 10 Home Edition require convoluted work arounds for many/most services.
Truth is of my professional opinion is overruled I have the right to say I can’t honestly support the project. And if that’s frowned upon, I’d be happy to walk away cos it tells me this not the right place for me. Some leaders that push trash need to wake up and stop that crap.
