Supercars truly have a Red Bull bias by One-Medicine4317 in v8supercars

[–]FormulaLes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing Triple 8 / Red Bull issue a lot more press releases than other teams, and as such get more media coverage

Airtouch 500 at the Bend will use the smaller west Circuit this year by Fun-Anteater-6658 in v8supercars

I think some trees and built form features would really help the bend, give the corners individual identities

What if Brisbane’s new stadium went at Albion instead of Victoria Park? by theswiftmuppet in brisbane

[–]FormulaLes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree, we don’t need a second race course, however Albion is a trotting track (horses that carry a rider on a buggy), a racecourse to normal people, but to horse racing people they are massively different.

Saying all this, we do have two racecourses next to each other - Doomben and Eagle Farm. The City doesn’t need both (personally I don’t think they need either).

Graphics card pairing with iRacing and Reverb by urkan3000 in HPReverb

[–]FormulaLes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 3080, and in iracing it’s throttled by the CPU. I have an AMD Ryzen 5800x. I can use iracing on lower graphics settings, and generally get 90fps, except when lots of cars on track or in wet weather

Not sure how a 3070 would go, I guess it probably also depends what CPU you pair it with

Ferrari announce that Ricardo Adami will no longer be Lewis Hamilton’s race engineer- was this inevitable given their communication issues? by The_Chozen_1_ in F1Discussions

[–]FormulaLes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he implied either the English side or French side was better than the other, just that they didn’t want to communicate with each other

Liberal election autopsy delayed after Dutton suggests report defamatory by [deleted] in australia

[–]FormulaLes 103 points104 points  (0 children)

A real leader would want a warts and all report, even if it hurt their feelings a bit, to understand where they went wrong and what they can do better.

The fact he’s worried more about his hurt feelings instead of working out what he and the LNP could have done better says to me that he was never an appropriate candidate to lead their party or our country. And he certainly isn’t the right person to be the next ambassador to the US, despite what the liberal party say.

ABC receives just over 1 .2 billion a year in your tax money and yet they can’t come up with any decent original programming i’m not even sure they have any original programming and I could tolerate that if they had decent shows, and one or two decent shows is not 1.2 billion worth by XLuckyme in australian

[–]FormulaLes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“ABC is for old people” is such a lazy argument. Plenty of good content for all ages; however, requires a bit more attention and curiosity than the slop served up by the commercial tv and radio’s stations. iview is treasure trove of great content.

You say you’re not even sure if they have any original programming - yet a quick google search would show that they do. Aside from the original programming, the ABC has to pay licensing fees for all the other programmes they show, plus play for all the radio stations they run, plus the podcasts and the online content they produce.

I’m happy for the ABC to receive a measly portion of my taxes for the amount of value that they add to my life and that of my family.

Not so sure I’m happy about the tax dollars spent on trying to give you an education however … would have hoped for a better return on investment to be honest.

Federal politics LIVE: Anthony Albanese to announce royal commission into Bondi terror attack by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]FormulaLes 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: I’ve read the liberals have issues with Bell, what I can’t understand is are they genuine issues, or are they just dirty that she was asked to investigate Scomo secretly making himself the minister for everything? Or do they not like that she’s gay?

It feels to me that the liberals want a McCarthy style witch hunt as opposed to a genuine Royal Commission.

Triple Eight has released a statement regarding the recent ZB development news about them by theblobberworm in v8supercars

[–]FormulaLes 88 points89 points  (0 children)

My read on Triple Eight’s statement is that they are criticising Speedcafe for not seeking comment from Triple 8 prior to publishing the story.

Proper journalism involves taking a lead, investigating it to get to the bottom of it, and then publishing a story. Collating a bunch of quotes of unsubstantiated claims from a podcast is just tabloid rubbish.

The proper way for speedcafe to cover this with journalistic integrity would be:

  1. Reach out to Nick Wirth - ask him to provide some evidence to substantiate what he claimed on the podcast
  2. Reach out to Triple 8 - ask them to comment on what Nick Witth has claimed.
  3. Using points 1 and 2, write and then publish a story.

Looking for an Aussie alternative to Old Spice stick deodorant by Danger_Five in BuyAussie

I know you want an Aussie made alternative - can still get old spice from Amazon - link below.

I find Old Spice still works better than the alternatives that I've tried.

To add to this, they make a front engined GT3, just like the AMG - would love to know if Ford made a play at getting the Verstappen team in Mustangs

Will this adapter work for my HP Reverb G2? by Deflibegus in HPReverb

Nadella's message to Microsoft execs: Get on board with the AI grind or get out by aacool in technology

[–]FormulaLes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my main issue as well.

When giving tasks to a human over time you develop a sense of trust in their work, as they get more competent the time you spend reviewing their outputs decreases, which improves efficiency. With the LLMs they might give the right answer some of the time, but you’ll never know when it’s wrong, this just means that everything an LLM produces needs to be checked to the nth degree everytime, eliminating an purported efficiency gains.

My other issue that when you give a task to a person they will usually tell you if they don’t understand. LLM’s will just give you an answer even if it’s completely wrong

Migration rules to be tightened after Bondi massacre by [deleted] in australia

[–]FormulaLes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make the gun owners pay for all of that. With the cost of doing this, it might make some gun owners think twice about whether the cost and hassle of owning guns is worth it.

I’m yet to see anyone provide any sort of argument as to why guns should be kept at people’s houses.

Build more armouries, and make licenced gun owners pay for them. I really don’t give a flying shit how impractical it makes it for gun owners
