                I'm raising funds with #EXTRALIFE for kids treated at my Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! I need your help to reach my fundraising goal. Please donate today to change kids' health.
            
        
    
    
            So far we have several mutations, a character whoโs been bitten by a vampire, some delicious drinks, and THREE TANK FIGHTSโฆ and weโre still a month from game day!
Pile on the chaos for Team Sensible Shoes, and help us help the kids!

            You might have a bad reference value for electrons to luminance (assuming photon counting sensors).
There could be an issue with the voltage levels if it's battery powered.
I'm assuming you have the correct geometry for your standard source into the sensor?

            If it reports each channel separately, and all channels are high, then it's likely a geometry issue (lens or sensor? uncertain of the internals of this unit).
If one of the channels is higher than it should be, there's something really off.

            Eyes are often considered to respond in terms of radiance (constant "brightness" independent of distance, usually linked to high spatial resolution) rather than irradiance (linked to inverse square response, bad spatial resolution). I think this is supported by terrestrial observation only... :)

            I stand by my characterisation of Robodebt as shoddy automation - no nuance in their choice of underlying distributions, no appreciation of different ppl coming from different subsets of income earning mechanisms, and apparently v little weighting of the amount of Distress caused in the utility fn.

            They made up references re Robodebt analysis? Automation of report writing to investigate shoddy automation?
What mechanisms are in place to ensure the work for our Childcare sector is accurate and contains no AI hallucinations?
Is there a billable rate for AI services as part of the contract?

                Labor asks Deloitte to design universal childcare system as PM eyes political legacy
                Exclusive: Government could redirect billions in existing spending on the childcare subsidy and introduce a daily flat fee for families
            
        
    
    
            I am livid. Ropeable. Irrationally pissed off. I do not expect to fall asleep easily.
As per some sources, Deloitte's been tapped for the data driven analysis for a review into AUS childcare system.
How will we know if it's been made up?
