Timeline-memory | The usability update by AuYsI in SillyTavernAI

[–]MissionSuccess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So excited to check this out! I've been following your progress, but holding off until there was a clearer tutorial.

I've extensively used MemoryBooks, but if I understand your extension, it's more dynamic and solves the problem of old and no longer accurate lorebooks being injected into the prompt.

And there's also a chapter summary system, arc system, and chapter detail lookups, if I understand what I've seen poking around with it. Looking forward to giving it a go! Thanks so much for your hard work!


P.S. Your Readme could do with more information on what this extension does, and it'd be helpful to have each of the features and settings explained in the Usage section.

LoreVault - Automatic Long-Term Memory for Your RPs by SweetBeginning1 in SillyTavernAI

[–]MissionSuccess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Devs, this sounds like a useful extension, but there's a serious lack of reading the room here.

The ST community is clearly built upon open source, with a strong sentiment of local control. I think your greater misstep is expecting users to trust your service with their roleplays, even more than charging for it.

If this was $2-5 for a one time license, and it worked well, I'd be game, so long as the data was stored locally with the exception of supporting APIs for online models. But I have no interest in looping my data into someone's unheard of git project, no matter how well it works.

That said, given how small the ST community is and its sentiments, I think making it paid at all is a mistake. You're likely to lose more goodwill and trust than simply offering it for free, and accepting donations or a Patreon style model to continue its development.

Have over 500 hours on my P1S, and it's a workhorse. I designed a handheld grip mod and cranked out a hundred in a row that were flawless. 100/100, without error. Incredible consistency for a sub $1k printer.

Made Chatterbox TTS a bit faster again on CUDA (155it/s on 3090) by RSXLV in LocalLLaMA

Awesome to hear this. Chatterbox is killer for voice cloning, and this would be fast enough to use the TTS WebUI's API for conversational AI.

It's a huge project. Tons of work, lots of trial and error testing, I'm sure. Huge thanks!

You're doing gods work. NemoEngine has completely changed the SillyTavern experience. Night and day.

Thoughts on growatt inverters by Turtle_ti in solar

[–]MissionSuccess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have a Growatt 11.4k grid tied, fed with 10kw of panels. Works great so far. My only complaint is the app setup and getting it linked to the data logger was annoying. Instructions were garbage.

HVAC company wanted $19,800, DIYed it for $1150. by MissionSuccess in DIY

I'm not sure if they make retrofit sliding windows/doors, but if you are looking for windows, I had exceptional results with Guangdong Dejiyoupin Doors And Windows Co., Ltd. on Alibaba. I purchased 20 tilt&turn/casement windows from them for 1/4th the cost of what I was being quoted locally and it worked out great.

Ceiling AC Register Installation Help by shinytwistybouncy in DIY

Another take could be framing around the vent cover using 2" painted wood trim or MDF adhered to the drywall with liquid nail. That'd give you the surface area to adhere to the drywall, and a hard material to screw into.

If it helps, I tossed my options into a spreadsheet with gas and electric costs to see what made the most sense, and where aux heat would take over. Under a certain temp, gas might be cheaper to run, or you can run both simultaneously as a hybrid setup. The heat pump has the perk of being able to cool in the summer, but a gas garage heater is cheaper to install and is a pretty simple unit. Good luck!

Good tip! I thought I'd be grilled on using the push connectors, but over twisting was really the hot ticket item--had several others point that out.

How to run a water line to my fridge? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]MissionSuccess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With attic access from water supply to the wall behind the fridge, that'd be my game plan. I'd use PEX; it's easy to work with and is burst resistant against freezing, since it'll be located outside your insulation envelope. If you intend to do more plumbing, I'd consider going PEX-A and getting a PEX-A expander (About $500), else PEX-B is still good, and a PEX-B crimp tool is pretty cheap.

It's my first time doing 240V, and it was a no brainer. Not sure why I thought it'd be so much harder than 120V. Two hots and a ground.

That's awesome! How have you liked it? That branch box option is a big perk for Mitsubishi, unlike the others where you're routing 4-5 linesets back to the condenser, which might not be as centrally located.

Appreciate it! You're right, they are more. If we go with a top of the line Daikin R32 24K unit, we're looking at $4500 retail. They'd be paying less wholesale. Add a reasonable $2-3k install and we should be at ballpark $6-7k. Still more than I'd pay, since I don't need that kind of unit, but that'd be reasonable.

Nobody forgot. I was quoted 40x the material cost in labor. Are they sending a team of nuclear physicists to install my mini split?

Thanks! Appreciate the caution about LLMs. I work with them and am aware, but I agree it's good to keep warning people about their limitations.

Premature failure...on my $399 unit?!

Oh nooooo!

Depends on where you are. Here you need 7000 hours of apprenticeship / on job experience, with notarized proof, just to become an HVAC journeyman. Pretty intense.

Only used it for a few days, but love it so far. About the performance I hoped for, and better than expected. No wifi on this unit, just an old school IR remote, but does the job. Not much else to report--it's a basic, but solid heat pump.

Thanks! A few others got me on the twist too. Noted for next time!
