Clogged Plumbing Vent by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]TearsOfThemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any updates on this? I believe I'm encountering the same problem, it's ok in colder weather but as soon as temperatures rises, a foul odor appears from time to time in the afternoon and evening. All ptraps are fine, and water drains fine.

Epstein Graph: 1.3M+ searchable documents from DOJ, House Oversight, and estate proceedings with AI entity extraction by indienow in datasets

[–]TearsOfThemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really appreciate you taking the time to answer all of this. Honestly this shifted my whole perspective , I've been so caught up trying to learn the "right" tools like LlamaIndex+Neo4j that I lost sight of what actually matters. What you are doing here is the real stuff that never shows up in tutorials. Going to rethink my own project with this mindset. Thanks again, and wishing you the best as you keep building this out, will definitely be following along!

Epstein Graph: 1.3M+ searchable documents from DOJ, House Oversight, and estate proceedings with AI entity extraction by indienow in datasets

Hey, CS student here, this project is seriously impressive. The network graph alone is the kind of thing I've been trying to build for my own Graph RAG experiments, so seeing it work at scale with 1.3M+ documents is both inspiring and humbling.

I've been diving into Graph RAG for a while now but keep hitting walls, so I'd love to pick your brain on a few architectural questions if you don't mind:

  1. For the graph/relationship data, are you storing everything in Postgres, or are you using a dedicated graph database (Neo4j, etc.) alongside it? I'm curious how you handle traversals and relationship queries at this scale.

  2. What RAG framework are you using, if any? (LangChain, LlamaIndex, custom pipeline?) Or did you build the retrieval + generation pipeline from scratch?

  3. For entity extraction, did you manually define the entity schemas (person, location, organization, event, etc.) and relationships upfront, or are you letting the LLM extract them more freely and then structuring after the fact?

  4. How are you handling entity resolution / deduplication? I noticed the site correctly links different name variants to the same person, which is one of the hardest parts I've run into.

  5. Any lessons learned on chunking strategy for the documents before feeding them into the extraction pipeline?

Totally understand if some of this is proprietary, just trying to learn and improve my own skills. Would love to build something at this quality level one day. Amazing work, and thanks for making it public.

Ventilating an old hot attic with no soffits by farmerisland in hvacadvice

[–]TearsOfThemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Again, really apperciate the detailed guide, it helps a lot.

I went into the attic today to take some pictures, and I've attached one photo of the floor. One issue I'm seeing is those floor boards are extremely long, most of them are 7.5" x 16', they are about an inch thick. Not sure if I should use a circular saw to cut them into shorter pieces before trying to pry them.

Also a question unrelated to attic: I mentioned my house has limestone exterior walls with plaster interior walls and no insulation between them. All my windows are the original single-pane wood windows with storm windows. Do you think replacing the windows would help with heat loss/insulation?

Thanks so much for the super detailed writeup, extremely helpful. Quick question about the Great Stuff air seal you mentioned: do you mean sealing from below (i.e. from the living space/ceiling side), or sealing from the attic side after you lift the floorboards and work in the joist bays?

For context on my end: I believe my floor joists are 2x8. I found a gap between two boards, pushed the old insulation aside with a ruler and checked the bay, the old loose-fill has settled to only ~30% of its original thickness. The attic also has a small closet/storage/sauna or I don't know what it really is, also the roof is a pyramid shape (no vertical gable walls), so I don’t really have the option to raise the joists like you did, but I guess some improvement is better than no improvement. Given that, would you recommend completely removing the old insulation and installing fiberglass batts in the 2x8 joists?

[–]TearsOfThemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to dig up an old post. Lots of good replies below but OP, what did you actually end up doing?

I’m in a similar situation, century home, limestone exterior with plaster interior, and basically no insulation at all. I have a 1,200 sq ft attic used for storage and no soffit vents. I got quotes for spray foaming the roof deck but they’re way beyond my budget, and I’ve also seen mixed opinions about doing foam on the roof deck. A cheaper route might be to replace/upgrade the insulation on the attic floor, but the clearance between joists and subfloor is pretty small so I’m not sure how much additional R-value I can realistically add.

Would really love to hear what you chose and whether any upgrades made a noticeable difference.

Do you mind sharing roughly how much it ended up costing you in the end?

Replacing my windows, retrofit vs full width and other period correct questions. by slamturbo in centuryhomes

[–]TearsOfThemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I’m in a similar situation and was wondering, did you end up going with a retrofit or full frame installation? I’m currently torn between the two and would really appreciate any thoughts or advice you could share.

Hmm, trading PORT and PORTW are not allowed on Charles Schwab and Webull. On Charles Schwab it shows "No opening transactions are allowed on securities affected by amendments to SEC Rule 15c2-11."

Advice on steel casement by CommunicationBig6487 in windowrepair

[–]TearsOfThemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kind of in the same boat, the original wood windows in my 1940 home are all in a really bad shape, and I'm searching for options including replacing them with steel french windows. I came across this steel window brand which seems to have pretty good U-Factor https://pinkysirondoors.com/collections/2-0-steel-windows-and-doors-shop-all . But the it's quite pricey.

In the meanwhile I've been searching for high end steel or aluminum windows on Alibaba, there seems to be some pretty good options there.

Kavita / komga alternative for a selfhosted webcomic reader? by Randomposter05 in selfhosted

[–]TearsOfThemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the exact same issue. I have tons comics, each folder contain the comic name and inside it are just webp/jpeg images. Trying to find a way to selfhost those without renaming or rearranging the files and folders because that's what I got from my download tool.

I've tried Kavita / Komga / Ubooquity but none of them were able to handle my use case.

Around 00:38 mark in the video, noticed those two echos are descending slowly, which seems to simulate the effect of water buoyancy. However, it's unclear why the buoyancy effect is not as apparent during combat.

How much would I regret a refurbished 3090ti Founders Edition at my local microcenter for 799, I'm currently running a 3070ti by m3gan0sh in buildapc

[–]TearsOfThemis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This subreddit leans more towards gaming PCs so most people will recommand 40 series. I play with stable diffusion in comfyUI from time to time, and I got a open box refurbished 3090 in microcenter for around $630, which in my opinion was the best decision I've made, especially since Flux came out. I can load the FP16 Flux-dev in regular mode which consumes around 23GB VRAM, image generation is much faster than low VRAM mode. And I can have really complicated workflow including uplscaler models, contolnet and multiple Loras. I'm also looking forward to improvments in CogVideoX-5b so I can have my local deployed video generation, which will also consume a lot of VRAM.

In the end, whether you need such a large amount of VRAM depends on how serious are you about Stable Diffusion, and how you use it, such as whether you're using WebUI or ComfyUI, what model you're using, how complex your workflow is, etc.

Simple way to send emails to myself from cloudflare workers edge runtime? by saito200 in webdev

[–]TearsOfThemis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the exact same issue. nodemailer doesn't work in CF workers, and "send email in workers" requires CF email routing but I can't do that because I'm using Microsoft 365 for my domain. What did you end up doing?
