GDFError: GDF_UNSUPPORTED_DTYPE with std() function

When running notebooks/mapd_to_pygdf_to_h2oaiglm.ipynb, an error occurs during step 23...

for k in (num_cols - response_set):
    df[k] = df[k].fillna(df[k].mean())
    assert df[k].null_count == 0
    std = df[k].std()

    if not np.isfinite(std) or std < 1e-4:
        del df[k]
        print('drop near constant', k)
    else:
        df[k] = df[k].scale()

Error output:
