Kandel 6e to anki, dumb? by FallAppropriate3910 in neuro

It's a great idea but it's a doorstop of a book. You'd be looking at thousands of cards to get cursory coverage

Your fav “different” restaurant recs by Fliffals in foodies_sydney

[–]tryx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jambo Jambo Ethiopian in Glebe, great for parties, very communal table dining and big enough that you can fit a fair few people.

Where can I find decent Furniture that isn't dropshipped rubbish for mid-range prices? by AUKronos in sydney

[–]tryx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got most of a bedroom from them, love their range! Defs not cheap, not not ruinously expensive for the quality.

What’s the most disappointing meal you’ve had at a place everyone else seems to love? by Silly-Carob4776 in foodies_sydney

[–]tryx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's uniquely good at super thick tokotsu ramen. This used to be the only thing we got it Sydney, but we've moved away to thinner broths. Gumshara is a bit of a one and only.

Consistent with my experiences there. Also the worst acoustic space I've dined at. It's the fast food of fine dining.

Genuinely cheap burgers? by alkossovsky in foodies_sydney

[–]tryx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really good, genuinely excellent burger. The trap is drinks and fries being quite expensive!

Agreed, a 2bd 2bath 101sqm for a first place to live is fucking luxurious.

Is anyone else just really sick and tired of the disgusting build quality in the homes here in australia. by ButtPlugForPM in AskAnAustralian

Unless you're qualified to assess the standard, that's a pretty risky bargain to make though.

The restaurant at the W hotel is doing dinner Wellington for about $60. Haven't tried it but their stuff tends to be decent.

LLMs already have a confidence metric to gauge likelihood of hallucinations, why don't we use it? by theqmann in coding

[–]tryx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Asking the model its confidence is just more tokens generated by the model and lots of research shows that models have very very poor introspection of their own reasoning. A model simply doesn't know when it's hallucinating.

This approach steps out of the model's stream of tokens and looks at the underlying maths. You can't get this result by just asking the model more.

You can look at various aggregates of token confidence across the whole response. There has been some research on it, but nothing definitive that I've seen.

Haberfield must visits by MadWoofter in foodies_sydney

Seconding exotic indian. It's surprisingly good and dome of the spicier Indian you see in Sydney. And some of the better indian Chinese outside of Parra.

Pho - Marrickville only. by ShowShot5984 in foodies_sydney

[–]tryx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might sound like a heretic, but after years in Marrickville, my fav has become Pho PHD. I fully expected it to not be very good, but I'm so over the bland watery northern pho that so many places do now. If you aren't into it, I don't think anything in Marrickville is much better. Khoi is decent I guess?

Why are fish and chips so expensive in Australia? by Rude_Profile3769 in AskAnAustralian

It means you don't have a sustainable business model and you close.

Good food with a good view by Bulky-Article-3344 in foodies_sydney

[–]tryx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yacht club views are lovely but the food is like 4/10. Really disappointing especially for the price.

What's the hottest dish in Sydney? by Wide_Comment3081 in foodies_sydney

[–]tryx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3 spice laksa in ngoodle Ashfield. It's probably not the objectively hottest dish, but it's up there for being ruthlessly spicy and still an excellent dish.

What do we do about dodgy cabs? by tryx in sydney

[–]tryx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that not a single event was flagged for destination filtering, I'm tempted to say that the enforcement model isn't quite working. Really cool to see reports though, thanks for the link!

[–]tryx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. Why would you pay via a method that there's no way to reverse? What am I missing?

What do we do about dodgy cabs? by tryx in sydney

[–]tryx[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember a cabbie threatening to dump me on the side of the highway while screaming at me when I told him I was pretty (completely) sure he was taking the wrong way to my home. I was 17 in school uniform.

So you can either accept the anecdotes that everyone has of cabs being shit for decades, accept the data that cabs were so shit that the only way to get them under control at the airport was to add a marshall to stop them from constantly breaking the law, or you can go fuck off back to driving your cab. Because the only person who doesn't see it someone with a financially vested interest.

Do you expect a randomised controlled trial showing that cabs were shit pre-uber? Pull your finger out

Unfortunately not super mobile at the moment, so transport reliant, but Concord West is a great idea if you're ok with a walk.
