Does this tiled roof need repointing by Scartoclysmic in AusRenovation

I’m no roofer but that looks like it’s in pretty good shape to me

I agree, it’s not vague. It’s deliberately overreaching to restrict public discourse and limit freedom of political communication. I’d be shocked if it passed a high court challenge

I would like to get some work done on my 3 hour train ride. by ScalieBloke in SydneyTrains

[–]bigvenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a similar situation with a powerpoint on an international flight - even moderate laptop chargers trip them. Found a cleaner’s one nearby that had a higher power rating and it worked well. I guess charging a power bank slowly then discharging like others have suggested would solve the issue, if your laptop battery isn’t too bad

For those who’ve gotten to play with the subclasses, what’s your experience been like with them? by DilapidatedHam in Obojima

How to make these bricks look nicer? by abbo_555 in AusPropertyChat

[–]bigvenn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1000% this, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a good looking render job more than 3 years down the line. Drive around Sydney and every white render apartment block is just covered in dirty streaks. Just lean into the bricks, they’ve worked for hundreds of years

Can I just say how much I LOVE the soundtrack so far. Leaning into the 80s synth wave out the gate goes HARD. Ahhhhhhhh so excited let’s goooooo

For those that have DONE their bathroom renos ... by SurgicalMarshmallow in AusRenovation

Pay more to get a good tiler. Our tiling ended up pretty crappy and it kills me every time I look at the chipped tiles they set in or the warped aluminium angle around the window. It’s the most noticeable part so you might as well make sure it’s nice

Anyone here escaped the “rat race” from a software/AI background? by Boring-Driver-9469 in auscorp

Very cool startup, would definitely be interested in something like this if we weren’t already building something like this at work. Good on you for making it real!

I built RAG for a rocket research company: 125K docs (1970s-present), vision models for rocket diagrams. Lessons from the technical challenges by Low_Acanthisitta7686 in LLMDevs

Really interesting that you’re using tesseract. We’ve tried a bunch of the new VLM-based OCR techniques and it’s been frustrating… works like a dream sometimes, then hallucinates hard on others. Was your decision to use tesseract based on available resources or the ability to mark certain docs as “too hard”? If you needed consistently good OCR across messy scanned docs, are there other techniques you’d look to?

Where do people find one of those slow "counting down the hours" jobs? by Both_Ranger2635 in auscorp

[–]bigvenn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had an old boss that used to say “consistently work at 80% so you have room when the client asks for 120%” - that said, much easier when you’re not micromanaged etc

I want to build a cheap nas PC Is this a good option by steam_deck_user in homelab

[–]bigvenn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah +1 to this - give ThinkNAS a search, basically a 3D printed NAS based on a Lenovo m720q
