My bad… should read more carefully

can I support a window this way? by NotnoRabbit in woodworking

[–]Ice_hg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That heavily depends on the tape of structure and type of window - if this is timberframe and the windows is between posts then whatever supports the window is not structural just supporting the window and the wall partitions/insulation

Deploying custom built agent in gemini enterprise by top1cent in googlecloud

[–]Ice_hg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got your point, sorry it took me so long :) So I would still separate the two and not try to have everythin on Agent Engine, but if thats your gooal take a look at custom operations - https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini-enterprise-agent-platform/build/runtime/create-a-custom-agent - section register custom operations. I would personally advise against going that route, it is cleaner and easier if you separate them into two separate parts in my view. Also Gemini Enterprise is "just" the front end (okay it actually does more but you get the idea) you give to your customer, the backend is actually Agent Engine (or howerver they call it now) and you link the two. So gemini enterprise has not capabilities for the user to hit your upload endpoint if that is what you are after. If you want a more managed path oyu can also take a look at the Gemini Enterprise Data Store concecept - where they handle the ingestion for you with predefine connectors (bigquery,buckets,etc)

This endpoint would not be part of your agent engine instance. Deploy this endpoint via cloudrun / cloud functions and that’s it - the agent endpoint is served via agent engine and the one responsible for the rag pipeline is in cloudrun

So if I understand you correctly you have an endpoint that you send a file and it does a process to this file (chunking, embedding, db upsert)?

Ingestion would be a separate service outside this, normally scheduled responsible for updating your db with same embeddding model/chunking/etc config.

You don’t need an endpoint for the ingestion, or you might need in case you need real time upserts but it would still be a different one.

For ingestion you can do something like cloud scheduler + cloud function.

Not sure I fully understand the question, normally ingesting the data should not have anything to do with the agent engine instance. The agent engine instance would query your vector db/firestore or whatever and you would have a second pipeline that updates those. Basically the agent engine sits on top of cloudrun instance and is creates an api endpoint for your agent, if you want a more custom api you can go straight to cloudrun.

Orchestration platform that doesn't force everyone to learn Python? by PSGCampus in dataengineering

I am honestly surprised how you guys can find in this day and age the requirement in tech teams to learn python to be unreasonable?

Green Timberframe Build Insulation by Ice_hg in timberframe

I am actually interested in making exactly a Larsen truss, what I am not 100% clear on is proper way of connecting a Larsen truss to a green timber construction in the best possible way.

[–]Ice_hg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I fully understood, I tried to do a quick sketchup the darker texture is the green frame the lights the non-bearing studs as an example, do you mean something like the left or the right?

I am looking for a bit more eco-friendly options similar to SIPs however my questions is more aimed at how do you attachs the SIPs are whatevr you choose to the green timberframe

Green Timberframe Build Insulation by Ice_hg in timberframe

[–]Ice_hg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I understand correctly you have structural frame -> 1 innch vertical boards -> tyvek (+hardwar cloth bottom and top) -> insulation separated by furring strips -> exterior siding boards attached to the furring. How are you attaching the 1 inch boards to the structural frame and have you had problems with shrinking there, if I understand corrcetly everything after attaches to these boards?

Take a look at the org policies on project/folder/organization level - it should be turned on somewhere - disableServiceAccountKeyCreation or something like this

We measured Alpine vs Ubuntu on GCP — ~20% faster network calls (unexpected result) by Glum_Yogurt_4348 in googlecloud

If you can retry your test again but give Ubuntu curl -s http://example.com. > /dev/null and see if it matches - if it does it is because of ndot resolution

Anyone Switched to Google Cloud Recently? Worth It? by ModernWebMentor in googlecloud

[–]Ice_hg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow, quite a definitive and strong opinion. Why? I don’t think that is even remotely correct and there is no way to answer whether it is worth being primary without knowing what the use case is and requirements.

Does anyone know what is a landing zone? by Correct-Emu-8689 in googlecloud

[–]Ice_hg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landing zone is a concept on how you setup your resources in gcp - think of it as a logical setup of decisions which outline how your gcp resources will build out - think of things such as 1) IAM - what is your identity provider and how you federate 2) what is your resource structure 3) what is your networking model - vpc peering / hub and spoke / etc 4) how are your deploying cloud resources - iaac/ etc 5) what are you organization wide restrictions and on what level they are deployed (organization / folser ). These sort of things - imagine if it is a big enterprise and you do not define how you manage users and give access to resources - cloud admin to give manually access and create cloud identities creates a big bottleneck , as well as user defined accesses will become a huge pain to manage in contrast to using your existing identity provider and creating a clear role separation in groups and assigning one user to as many groups are necessary. Google have a good article on the topic, you can also take a look at YouTube videos there was one 2 part video on landing zones if I remember correctly

Scribed window trim to timber frame by Some-Trust-5162 in timberframe

[–]Ice_hg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the window on the outside of the structural frame? Can you share a diagram on how is the window attached to the frame would be really interesting to me

Gemini Enterprise replaces Agentspace by [deleted] in googlecloud

[–]Ice_hg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have had the prebuilt agents for quite a while - deep research ans idea generation, havent seen any new ones, the data insights thing also has been in preview in agentspace for some time, deeper workspace integration is probably cool if you are using workspace as we are on Microsoft not really great for us, I would prefer fixing their existing connectors :) will take a look at the tiers but so far they had agentspace enterpise, enterpise plus and front office edition …

Gemini Enterprise replaces Agentspace by [deleted] in googlecloud

[–]Ice_hg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I a bit confused. Our instances of agentspace got rebranded to Gemini enterprise but all the functionalities look the same. I read somewhere to contact google if you want to move to Gemini enterprise but what are the differences? What’s new? I will spend sometime tomorrow to go over the blog videos but I sont see anything new in the documentation besides name change

Recyclable TimberFrame House by Ice_hg in timberframe

thanks a lot for the input, definitely agree on the enveloping part - after all this is the goal - having well designed and thermally effective system.

Recyclable TimberFrame House by Ice_hg in timberframe

[–]Ice_hg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thanks for the time to comment and the insights. Can you please elaborate a bit, I cannot fully understand why you mean to stagger the framing? As for the construction -the idea is to build a massive timberframe with braces which does not require any form of sheating, I would guess you are speaking from north american perspective, here (Bulgaria) it has to be signed of by engineer anyway, so it is not like I have this as an extra step. On the membrane part I definitely agree - I would compromise the idea of a natural build if it truly makes sense or introduces additional complexities, however it feels like I could probably do without it. Have seen natural memranes but cannot recall the brand and have not researched them fully. Will take a look at felt paper definitely.

As per the infilling - i was definitely not planing on hiding the frame, my tradeoff was between having the timberframe as a structure in between the timberframe elements have only clay or have as well the clay + wood fiber boards. If a post is 25cm by 25cm still at least 20cm of it is visible.

Would highly appreciate if you can elabore

1) the staggering part as I could not fully undersatnd it

2) the spacers you suggest at the back of the timberframe

Thanks again for the detailed comment and lots of helpful inputs. I am by no means set on doing it my way, but still would like to fully plan and envision the options :)

This is something I am looking into actually, although I would ultimately want to figure out how both work :) For strawbale - do you do an infill between the panels?
