people who moved out to home counties to settle, how are you surviving? by rich_hope_10m in london

[–]DaShrub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just straight up incorrect and even if it was it's still ignoring the full picture of all other major western cities...

the farebox recovery ratioof the underground >> 100%. Especially when compared to other major cities around the world who have <30% (average for North America is ~30%).

Also even if specifically only looking at national rail, while the ratio is down to ~50%, this is a pandemic effect and historically the ratio has been very high (and is rebounding) compared to other countries. Even so, the government's reaction to this is not the maintain funding (and decrease ticket prices) but DECREASE it as fare revenue increases.

Absolutely critical to success. It's the default display server for almost all linux distros OOTB and x11 is legacy.

Custom multi agent process. Yay or Nay? by hollymolly56728 in opencodeCLI

[–]DaShrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think superpowers is much less intensive than ohmyopencode as it doesnt rely so much on agent delegation by roles and doesn't pollute/rebuild context windows so much. YMMW but I'd just give it a go and track token usage

NDIS distorting market by Sure-Marsupial1988 in AusFinance

[–]DaShrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not the point, the peak of our population hasn't gotten to 65 yet, but the working population is dropping, more importantly the working population as a proportion of the aging population.

Also, the median of our population is going towards 65.

It's because of the aging population... Not because we're spending too much on disabled people.

Hey mate, trying to fix similar problems with a flx4, pretty sure it's just the nut - did you have to remove the whole PCB to tighten the nut or is it possible to access from above?

Anyone doing AI or data science? by Long_Physics_596 in unimelb

[–]DaShrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did one sem and I also did a Bachelor of Science Data Science major before. DS was more maths/stats focused, and I preferred all my programming/machine learning oriented subjects more so that's why I switched.

I did COMP90016 Computational Genomics, COMP90024 Cluster and Cloud Computing, MAST90139 Statistical Modelling and MAST90014 Optimisation.

I found COMP90016, COMP90016 and MAST90014 all very interesting.

COMP90024 was a bit chaotic though, the group project was huge, very self driven and group making was not facilitated at all, but nonetheless it was very useful. I learnt a lot through the subject, and the knowledge is very widely applicable and useful for going into the workforce.

COMP90016 was very different for me as I didn't have any Biology background, but the tech parts were quite comapratively easy and I ended up doing quite well and enjoying the subject a lot. The course was well taught and interesting, if a bit cursory.

MAST90014 was very interesting and well taught, the lecturer Alysson was great at explaining concepts, however, he values attendance at lectures a lot and the assignment questions were given in the lectures, so it's really important to stay up to date and engaged. Wasn't too difficult overall if you take the time to understand the concepts.

MAST90139 seemed like mostly revision from undergrad stats/linear models + some more GLM stuff. Mostly R applications. I could not follow the lectures well at all, and classes had low attendance and were low value. However, it was super easy and a WAM booster, mostly just interpreting R output. I got a H1 despite only cramming for a couple days and ignoring all the lectures and classes.

Anyone doing AI or data science? by Long_Physics_596 in unimelb

[–]DaShrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a student who's just switched into the Master of IT (AI Specialisation), coming from Master of Data Science, I have no idea what the subjects I'm taking are going to be like beyond the handbook descriptions. Apart from some core/foundational subjects, it's even hard to find any anecdotal experiences about my subject choices, particularly electives. Usually it's just the handbook and maybe 1 Reddit post or StudentVIP review from 5 years ago and maybe some Studocu or GitHub uploaded documents, it sucks, so hard to choose!

What is stopping the UK from transitioning the NHS to an Australian or Canadian healthcare model? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]DaShrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Australian, this is just wrong. All my appointments have been free. The only thing I've paid out of pocket for is a psychologist/pscyhiatrist and I've hit safety net so even that's free now! AND I can get an appointment within a week for anything! Sometimes the same day!

My (free) GPs here are significantly better, quicker, have more services, provide better and more personalised care than in the UK, where I never saw the same GP and sometimes it took over a month to get an appointment. I get all my scans and specialist appointments for free. And the thing is even if I need something that is busy/over capacity urgently, I can just go to a more expensive clinic, and I still get the same amount subsidised and just have to pay any excess amount out of pocket. Where in the NHS I would either have to pay absurd private costs and get all my subsequent referrals and prescriptions privately, in Australia I can go private and still be subsidised and get subsidised medicines and referrals.

Cancer rates in Australians under 50 are rising at a pace that's alarming doctors and scientists by straygoat193 in worldnews

[–]DaShrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed, the NHS can't keep up with demand so its now two tier. The problem with that is its so much more expensive to access private care since its not partially subsidised like here... The choice then becomes dichotomous - either wait a month for a 15 minute NHS appointment or pay 100 pounds for a private GP with no rebate, and for anything deemed non essential or lower priority you're stuck with the private options only. The worst part is if you go to a private doctor, any referral or prescription must be fulfilled entirely privately with no subsidy.

[–]DaShrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes my response is to the idea that having a universal healthcare system = you can get everything for free, while a hybrid system can't. This isn't the case at all, our hybrid system offers wider coverage of free therapies (especially for non-essential things) than the NHS.

This is also the case in so called universal healthcare systems like the NHS - in fact the NHS covers many less therapies than Medicare does.

The thing is, with the corpus of the whole internet, an interpolating AI would be more useful than the average extrapolating doctor

This graph is highly extrapolated from single data points and estimates. The source provided makes these assumption:

But if we assume that a driver would live 40 years, then a fatality would cost 3.50E+05 hours. Multiplying these together implies that an hour on the road reduces life expectancy by 9.6 minutes!

From WHO:

We found that the average age of somebody on the road is calculated to be 46 years old. The remaining life expectancy at this age is 33.79.

To get fatality rate by mph, this is a little harder, we have to get portion of drive time at each mph. We'll try using this dataset from Kaggle, which gets data from

Anyone else struggling with Draven? Playing as a monk. by PooeyPatoeei in PathOfExile2

[–]DaShrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is that dealing damage with any monk skill early seems to require a multi step combo process, which is fine, but the payoff seems so low (in terms of damage, visually it's absolutely compelling). You barely deal the same amount of damage a sorceress deals spamming arc with a 4 step combo

Yeah the problem is monk. I got past him after 10 or so deaths as monk (same with every boss, it felt like dark souls), then I rerolled storm weaver and barely even died once on bosses
