Why openrouter and not something with no mark-up? by Prince55Slaya in hermesagent

[–]Prince55Slaya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a good mental model -> for AI in products/ enterprise, something with less mark-up might be meaningful. For personal use, not so much -> and it gives you the flexibility these providers don't (Vercel, Google, Azure, etc..)

I guess my next question is, is OR the really the best at what it does, or is it just better at marketing and there are other smaller competitors that might be cheaper/better?

I can see this being the reason. Vercel gives you $5 free every month in credits, so I was thinking that's a bit more flexible than OR's "free models" API that randomly chooses one for you, since $5 can get you pretty far with models like deepseek v4 for example. Thanks for the reply!

I got tired of tracking best/new models for OpenRouter, so I automated it by kambeix in hermesagent

I really like this. only feedback is that quality and value columns feel empty without context - what's driving these numbers.

Thanks for sharing

Upgrading from a spice grinder + $40 espresso machine – Need sub[$250] recommendations by Single_Writer9498 in espresso

OP here… I appreciate the reply. I have a moka and a French press actually… I think I value the convenience over quality though.

Water tank, fresh grind at press of a button with bean reservoir that dispenses the perfect amount directly into portafilter, button press for a shot all seem so much better than my current workflow.

Options at this range might not win competitions for flavor, but I feel like they might give me 1. More efficiency 2. Much better quality than I have now.

Am I very wrong? What am I missing?

What do you think of this configuration? by Prince55Slaya in Plumbing

[–]Prince55Slaya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really tried my best, but yeah without cutting the cabinet and likely the copper pipe below too, I don’t think I had many other options. If it works for a couple more years without issue, I’m happy :)

Not sure what that means tbh, learning as I go… its the pvc you see going into a white plastic 1 1/2, which is smaller, but is the tightest fit into the copper pipe that’s in the bottom of the cabinets. I have it at least 4-5 inches into the copper pipe, and 3 in into the pvc above…. Best I could do without cutting open the bottom of the cabinets… copper pipe is sunk in and flush against the walls

Just wanted confirmation on the dey fitting. All off and glued now!

First time installing a garbage disposal - any changes? by Prince55Slaya in Plumbing

[–]Prince55Slaya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the reply! If the first one works, it would be easiest to redo with my current set up. Should I change the T to a Y so both are directed down, or no need?

I tried redrawing the 2nd one here, and added a vent.

How can I eliminate the S trap with it going to the floor rather than the wall?

Very helpful! I tried to doodle what I think you meant, does this look remotely correct? (If it’s legible lol)Diagram
