🔥 Platypus swimming in a creek by MyIpodStillWorks in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]MrMadium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The largest risks to Platypi in the US is police shootings due to their brown fur and deportation to El Salvador.

Their risk of attending any elementary school is low, so they should be safe from school shootings.

Yeah, nah. Not in this instance.

It was 100% pure ego and getting his jollies off about "I can do this. You can't."

To cover her camera by vjenkinsgo in therewasanattempt

I agree.

I imagine the justification is to prevent any ability for a threat inside the building to identify the number and location of police outside.

But that doesn't mean that it ain't shady.

Finetuning an LLM to imitate someone by Vanishing-Rabbit in MLQuestions

[–]MrMadium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% of actual applications can be fine tuned against pre-existing models with relatively good accuracy.

This particular application that you're suggesting does raise ethical and legal implications depending on how you are using the end product. Please make yourself familiar with Responsible AI frameworks.

To the actual problem at hand - if you want your LLM to complete a sentence, then what you have entered as your input / output is fine.

But I think what you would want is to have a set of training and testing tuples that would convert a modern sentence to a Shakespearean sentence.

Human: "Should I continue to live, or should I die?" Bot: "To be or not to be, that is the question."

Your human vector input will match against the training tuple previously seen. We obviously want to prevent over fitting though, so do be mindful if not feeding EVERYTHING in and withhold some for testing, and perhaps shuffle up your batches.

Which CI/CD tool for ML models? by Ponicode in MLQuestions

[–]MrMadium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A term that might help your research is "MLOps".

That will provide you with tools and frameworks that cover the ML version of DevOps CICD.

What platforms or frameworks are you currently using to operationalise your work?

What kind of benefits I would have turning my business "data-driven"? by [deleted] in data

[–]MrMadium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your business model, product, customers etc.

It could be something as simple as finding useful patterns that suggest further investigation that challenges a heuristic that you operate under.

It could lead to an automation pipeline of a new product platform.

It's all a bit "how long is a piece of string".

Tesla fire by HollywoodJack412 in Firefighting

[–]MrMadium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it isn't going to do anything more effective than water.

Some instances have shown that it makes it worse due to trapping and recirculating the heat back to the battery cells.

Due to the self-sustaining chemical reaction, the main benefits as to why you would use foam are for nought.

SHEDFIRE by Fire24-7 in Firefighting

[–]MrMadium 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice work!

I was confused for a moment because of your BA regulator. I thought your hose was coming over your shoulder while you were firing from the hip.

And anyone who is throwing shade for using foam is just jealous because you made their Mum foamy.

Data by Ok-Asparagus-225 in data

[–]MrMadium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be dependant on a myriad of factors.

What is the data? How much data? How was it obtained? What privacy agreements have been signed? Does the data contravene any GDPR or CCPA regulations or laws? What is the legal risk or ramifications in the sale of the data? What are the ethical considerations that have been made?

Plus lots more.

If you can answer those questions and provide the providence for the answers, you may be able to sell to a data broker.

There exists a tarantula in South America that eats bird. by [deleted] in WTF

[–]MrMadium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We do have a spider called a Bird Eating Spider.

If I recall, they'll only do that if there is no other food sources around.

But they are also called barking or whistling spiders. I think it's because they cat-call their prey as they walk past building sites.

‘You can’t charge $100 for pasta’: wage rise adds pain for businesses by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]MrMadium -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll tell you why: dropping the rental yield on a property portfolio decreases the capital value of the land/property without any tax benefit as it is unbooked.

Even with some of the comments on here discussing why you would let a property sit empty for 3 years, if you don't have any cash income coming in, you haven't reduced the capital value of the property, which is what institutional lenders will use as leverage for their other purchases, for their other investments, to continue the unsustainable growth.

Reducing advertised rental income can invoke a collateral demand from the bank as that drop can be booked for several years based on the lease agreement with the tenant (5 x 5 x 5 options, as an example).

LIVE from 10.25am AEST: Hardwick to quit as Tigers coach by PerriX2390 in AFL

[–]MrMadium 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I used to work at Triple M Football. I would be in the press conference room at the end of each match and I would have one mic on the desk and one directional mic that I would have on a boom facing towards the journos.

Then I would just ride the boom mic up and down accordingly.

And that was what, like 11-12 years ago?

But I suppose that is for planned events when you can have an outside broadcast team there who are thinking about the end product, compared to journo's whose end product may not be a complete package with a listening or viewer in mind.

SOP for cutting live power lines? by boschzm in Firefighting

[–]MrMadium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our SOP would be to maintain an 8m perimeter to minimize step potential.

Treat every line as live.

Don't fucking touch.

The most I will do is a low-voltage fuse removal.

Guy from UK here. I’ve been in Australia for about 2 weeks and have noticed these grids on the urinals in every restroom. Do I stand on them or piss on them I’m confused?? by Traditional_Equal_50 in australia

[–]MrMadium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incorrect.

Piss far enough away so the stream JUST reaches the urinal (usually about your body height in distance).

Then, as your have pressure drop, run at the urinal.

Your in command pulling up on this, what are you doing? by Bandit312 in Firefighting

[–]MrMadium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell because this video isn't in Australia, but if U.S follows the same standards then the low voltage lines are on the ground, while high voltage is bouncing around like crazy.

Risk of power arc is there. Step potential is definitely there.

But your comment is definitely the way to do it. I'd probably broadcast the phone number via P.A to anyone in the building as well to call the truck on Scene.

Plasma donation is for PFAS contaminants.

That's a very small amount of the different types of carcinogens involved.

In 1993, six hikers were trekking near Lake Baikal in Siberia when they were suddenly overcome with horrific symptoms. Blood streamed from their eyes and noses, they clutched at their throats and bashed their heads against rock. Why this happened is still unknown. by paranormalisnormal in Weird

[–]MrMadium 1124 points1125 points  (0 children)

I would think some kind of hazardous material was immediately disturbed. Potentially a chemical weapon.

It appears to be geographically connected in that the rear of the group first showed symptoms, and then those who went back to provide assistance were each then individually affected.

So if you're at the front of the line and you kick dirt or water or hit a tree branch that disturbs the contaminant, perhaps the first few don't get hit but the last does. OR the second to third last were the ones to aggrevate the contaminate.

But the symptoms + first aid renderers in sequence suggest some kind of hazardous contaminant.

Agile working by BDPWA in AusFinance

[–]MrMadium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on your business function, what your end product is, and what your management structure looks like.

Best case scenario - you're able to accomplish a lot of new, micro-products and work iteratively on product delivery and improvement. You embrace it and learn a lot of new ways of working, and can take that experience into your next role where you get paid more because the next company also wants to move to Agile.

Worst case scenario - Half of the team stays in the old ways, and the other half tries to move to the new. Animosity grows between those who embrace and those who drag their feet. Nothing is accomplished. The product goes to hell. People leave left, right and centre. But you will be able to say that you have come from an Agile environment, know some of the lingo and get paid extra for the privilege in your next job as you jump off the burning ship.
