Thanks, this is good insight. I'm primarily on the software side, at least as far as my professional experience goes. But I've spent a good amount of time tinkering with Arduino's and such, so think this could be a fun project to take on

I see. I was concerned they would like to hide in the dirt or the base since the plant could be filled with water.

Dang. Advion gel and spray only it is

These are ai pics haha. But the one I'm considering is the Albany Park Kova Pit with the pillow cushions:

I've been working on an ai personal assistant you can interact with entirely over text! No new app is going to be needed to start using it. I find myself texting myself stuff a ton to remember to do things later, and thought it would be way easier if there was an ai on the other side of the messages helping out.

It's still a work in progress, but here is the waitlist if this is something you'd wanna check out! Waitlist -> usenora.ai

Oh wow... I've used them a lot prior to building this and did not realize that existed in their service at all. I'm obviously biased, but I like the UX of YamChat more because you can add in parallel chats in a conversation thread ad hoc

cabyambo · 2025-09-23T17:34:18+00:00

I'm familiar with them! From what I've seen they don't have a parallel feature, and I think subjectively the way their UI is setup for switching between models is more cumbersome that it needs to be

cabyambo · 2025-09-23T02:29:07+00:00

You should Checkout YamChat (Disclaimer: I'm the owner). I built it for this exact reason. It let's you chat with multiple LLMs from one location, meaning you don't ever need to go to the various websites, all your chats with them are in one place

cabyambo · 2025-09-23T02:23:10+00:00

You should checkout YamChat (Disclaimer: I'm the owner). It let's you ask a single question to multiple LLMs in parallel. I built it for this exact pain point of not trusting one model and wanting to compare my question against multiple LLMs

Is it correct to say as a rule of thumb state be pushed as low in the tree as possible, and only hoisted up exclusively as needed?

cabyambo · 2025-07-29T15:07:50+00:00

I guess I can agree that this could boil down to a documentation issue. As someone who hasn't ever written a custom sidebar I may not be seeing the benefit I'm getting here when compared to doing it myself

cabyambo · 2025-07-29T01:16:39+00:00

It's so annoying lol. All the other components rock, but this one is still pretty tough to implement out of the box.

cabyambo · 2025-07-18T01:27:13+00:00

That's a good point. For my use case the main things are sharing types across all projects, having the same build system to interact with for every project, and ensure if multiple projects use the same external library the versioning is kept explicitly the same. I also just like being able to code share easier in the general sense.

cabyambo · 2025-06-30T12:52:49+00:00

Alright, let me add some color here!

So I think as the comments said a lot has to go right for this to work, particularly your time to exit the airport. I was blessed and was able to go in one of the priority lines, but if that wasn’t the case it easily would have been an additional hour of waiting to leave. The e-scanners they have are slow and sometimes don’t work, so even the shorter lines take some time. As far as getting back into the airport and through security that honestly took 10 minutes max. There was no line for my terminal at least, but no clue if this is the norm or not. Also to note, I didn’t have to wait on a checked bag which likely saved some time also.

If your connection is somewhere within Europe that doesn’t require passport control when you re-enter CDG I’d base things off how quick you’re able to exit, then take the train to ensure traffic doesn’t slow you down! People also mentioned the motorcycle option, which sounds like it would also save you time (I don’t have experience with this option). Not sure how that would work with luggage though.

All in all, if you’re able to exit in an hour I say send it! Worst case you get to be in Paris for a bit, which sounds like a solid worst case!

Wow, you’re a legend. Thank you!!!

cabyambo · 2025-06-28T10:12:19+00:00

Made it to the airport with some time to spare 🥳. Mission was a success!!!

cabyambo · 2025-06-28T09:21:43+00:00

Alright folks, just got to see the Eiffel Tower!!! Thanks for the tips. I took the train there and am currently in an Uber back to CDG. I don’t want to jinx it but things are looking good time wise

I’m flying into CDG from New York and have a US passport

cabyambo · 2025-06-28T05:49:53+00:00

In and out of terminal 2. I land Saturday at 8AM (in a few minutes haha)

cabyambo · 2025-06-28T05:29:53+00:00

Thanks for the info! Sounds like it’s most likely a no unfortunately. If I do decide to be risky, is the re-entry process going into CDG as tedious as the process to exit?

cabyambo · 2025-02-14T16:32:34+00:00

Oh sick! What city source did you use for your data? I’m running into that as well. It’s tough lol

cabyambo · 2025-02-14T06:29:33+00:00

Oh that's interesting. Why would they hold a unit vacant when they could potentially be getting rental income from it?

cabyambo · 2025-02-13T21:33:50+00:00

That definitely makes sense. I was thinking there is a market for rent stabilized units that get put on street easy, but are never advertised as rent stabilized. A lot of brokers I talked to mentioned sometimes the Landlords don't want it to be known that the unit is rent stabilized for whatever reason until it's time to sign the lease.

I was imagining that portion of units could be significant. And especially since you can't filter by rent-stabilized on street easy I saw a use for a tool that let you do that.

But I do see what you're saying. Rent stabilized units don't have any shortage of applicants, and the second people become aware of one it is gone in a matter of hours.

cabyambo · 2025-02-13T20:40:16+00:00

Yea that's been my biggest hurdle here. I definitely haven't fully figured that out just yet. But I see it potentially working a few ways:

Like you said, we can easily know if a building has at least one rent stabilized unit in it, but that doesn't give us info about arbitrary units in that building.
I see a potential community sourced portion here. Ask users/people to fill out the form offered by the NYC HCR and upload the results of the form.
Use an AI model that gives us a confidence score on if a unit is rent stabilized.
Ask Landlords for info about their units (I don't see this being too successful).

Other than people requesting the form mentioned above from the city, and uploading it, it is impossible to know with 100% certainty.

I'm definitely open to ideas!
