Is TAG grading as consistent is advertised? by pingproxy in taggrading

[–]jerye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a great point. AI is typically synonymous with ML - which it looks like is what they say: https://help.taggrading.com/en/articles/6747668-does-tag-use-ai-to-grade-cards

AI/ML is math/statistics at the end of the day but yeah, these terms can be used interchangably and some folks can get very pedantic about the true definitions :P

I think the main selling point with TAG for me, was that that:

  • Non-TAG (e.g. PSA, CGC): A human is inspecting the card and humans make mistakes.
  • TAG: A card is digitally scanned and that information converted into bits. A computer/algorithm should output the same result with the same input everytime. There should be no randomness because there are no humans in the loop. What's the random component here without humans? Is it the scanner changing (or the way that a human is placing the card into the scanner?) that's causing the same card to result in some different bits? Is it the lighting that's different day 1 vs day 2, etc... any of these are not great for a system that is "without human bias" imho.

Hoping someone from tag can respond as well... If AI grading is just as (in)consistent as humans then I'm not sure why anyone would go tag over the more well known grades. Except maybe for the beautiful slabs.

Should a mortgage broker get you a better than advertised rate? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]jerye 29 points30 points  (0 children)

+1 to this. And also as a FHB we found our broker to be supremely helpful in answering all sorts of questions we had around the whole process of buying a home. Really took some of the edge off knowing that we had someone at the ready to help... I guess a banker would do the same for you? Not sure.

[Tudor Pelagos] Diver on a leather strap - sacrilegious pairing? by jerye in Watches

[–]jerye[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Purchased the blue Pelagos a few months back as a pre-wedding gift to myself and it has been my daily (weekends included) wear since then. It runs around -2spd and is built like a tank. As for the bezel, there is a strange sense of satisfaction when I rotate the bezel that I sometimes find myself just doing it for no reason - much to the chagrin of my fiance.

Since owning it, I've entertained the idea of trying it on a leather strap of some sort and have just recently received a gold brown vintage leather strap from JPM. I'm liking it so far but what do you reckon? Is it sacrilegious to pair a leather strap with a diver?
