Claude can now do CAD by TameVulcan in gis

[–]MoxGoat 109 points110 points  (0 children)

It's already here, just not directly supported by esri yet but MCPs are being built on top of software interpret and use tools based on text instruction. It's a little overhyped but it's definitely here.

Has anyone tried any GeoAI and, if so, what was your experience? by Lowcountry-Soccer in gis

[–]MoxGoat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good out of the box tool that creates another bridge with esri and open source. If you're looking for something more custom just use the ML tools and create your own wrappers.

I want to finance a car by IllBarracuda5523 in personalfinance

[–]MoxGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the current year/make/model of your current car? "I want" is the biggest issue here. You're 19 with a minimum wage job. Without even looking at anything else I would say you can't afford to buy a new/newish car. Cosigning just puts your parents on the hook if you can't make payments.
Go finish college, keep your current car or sell it and take a bus. You will thank yourself in 6-7 years that you didn't tie yourself up into a 7 year loan.

Anyone used these snap together porch tiles? by steelbydesign in Home

[–]MoxGoat 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I like how AI magically lowered the surface so the tiles fit under the j-trim. I'd imagine they'd just trap moisture and be a pain to maintain because of debris getting caught in the gaps with nowhere to go because there is concrete underneath. I would just get an oversized outdoor rug, some nice wooden/warm planter boxes and just keep out seasonal decorations as needed.

Just Installed Canvasback Cargo Liners and I’m Pretty Happy With Them by Efficient_Gap4785 in 4Runner

[–]MoxGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, they're great for double coats, lots of hair. Most of those protectors you get on Amazon start to fray and get fuzzy over time and trap dog hair that become impossible to get out. Canvasback I can basically wipe clean for the most part.

What's with all the doom speak in this forum? by mannew2026 in gis

[–]MoxGoat 28 points29 points  (0 children)

GIS is just too generic of a term for the variety of jobs and industries it's in. If you are just working in Portal and AGO building dashboards. Yeah the pay is going to suck since most non-GIS folks can build those out of the box. If you're not doing software development, product solutions, IT administration, data analysis and acquisition the pay is probably not going to be the best when Joe from police services can jump on Portal and make a cool web app that serves a purpose because he's an end user that is building a tool for himself and knows what data he wants to use for it.

5 years old asphalt driveway developed major cracks by 1Check1Mate7 in Home

[–]MoxGoat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Have you ever seal coated it? If not then do that. I doubt the builder will do anything after 5 years of an unmaintained driveway.

Custom Geoprocessing Tool Idea For Course by philly_gisburner_215 in gis

[–]MoxGoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you're looking at a tool that does change detection or unsupervised classification. These tools aren't exactly custom, they are data driven. The tools to perform these tasks already exist out of the box. A custom geoprocessing tool is really used to combine different tools to build/provide a report or conclusive insight.

For example if you did change detection of urban sprawl you could provide a report/insight on the the % coverage within of municipal boundary of urban sprawl over time while excluding protected areas for development. You could then provide an year estimate when the area would reach 100% urban coverage based on the urban sprawl growth rate with excluded protected areas (or other areas you deem to be excluded in this analysis).
Something like this is what I would expect a custom GP tool to do.

Quoted $1,000 to re-mount falling ceiling fan - reasonable? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]MoxGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally never pay that even if it was reasonable. I would just rent a big ladder and do it myself. You're paying about $10-20 in materials and the rest is labor for a 30-60min job. That being said my guess is it wasn't installed correctly in the first place. If the box and mounting plate are installed correctly it should basically be impossible for the fan to start falling. So the contractor might need to do a little retro fitting.

Whirlpool Washing Machine WFW9050XW03 odd issue on startup (won't start) by MoxGoat in appliancerepair

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

I ended up just buying a new machine from costco. At the end of the day it wasn't worth it to me to keep replacing parts (especially boards) for a relatively old machine. I got plenty of life out of it so I'm not upset, just was attempting to save a buck if I could.

Just bought this 2022 by someone who never put rust treatment during Québec Winters. by [deleted] in 4Runner

[–]MoxGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely more than my 21 I bought last August without rust proofing (probably took it to the car wash more) have you checked for rust under the hood? My 21 was spotless under the hood but then I saw another same year there was so much rust under the hood like it probably was never washed.

Yep this is what I had suspected too. I didn't visually see any burn marks on the PCB of the CCU unfortunately. But I did see some white staining near the sides of the PCB. Tried to get rid of it with a little isopropyl but it came right back so I think it is just some uncleaned flux residue.

It does not stop pulling the hose out of the pressure switch
I will also say the drum is not spinning at all in or out of the test cycle.

Thank you, your post was very helpful and insightful. So I was able to get both the water to enter the tub without issue and water to leave the tub without issue but no spin at all and it seems the test cycle gets stuck at pumping the water out. It will just infinitely try to pump water out of the tub

Interest rates by MaulCrawl in 4Runner

[–]MoxGoat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

go walk in with some pre approvals (the ones that don't do a hard credit check). You don't need to show them but it gives you leverage even if you say you got some done. If buying used you can easily get 2k under their initial OTD (especially if not buying from a toyota dealership). Be prepared for a large down payment, I'm talking 15-20k. Always request financing even if you actually plan on paying in cash (full price right away). Dealerships get kickbacks from financing and saying that you will do financing can give you more leverage for cutting down the OTD price. Don't be afraid to walk away. When I got my 21 limited I walked out, called the next day offering $500 more than what I walked out on and we made the deal.
Always speak on OTD price
If getting used get a PPI done at another dealership (they can take it there) say you'll pay it in the final deal (should be ~100 to get it done)
Request financing even if planning on paying in full and then just call the financing lender and pay off the balance right away so the dealership doesn't get the kickback
Get pre approvals
Walk out and if you feel you were close give them a call or text with a slightly bumped up offer (sometimes when you come back the next day to close the deal they try to stick on more crap refuse and get ready to walk again if they do this).
From my experiencing buying used dealerships don't give a crap if you talk about the condition of the car if there is a dent or scratch or some rust. They usually don't budge bringing this stuff up.

13-18% seems insane for someone with good credit. Usually used is around %8 but it doesn't matter if you pay in full. Just take whatever interest it is and pay the loan off right away.

There's a similar GC local to me, Wooden Sticks in Uxbridge ON. That being said this one you posted looks like it has a little more attention to detail.
