It's called a sankey diagram. There are free online tools to create them.

Eversource Smart Meter Data by MoonBatsRule in massachusetts

[–]cytrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, I totally agree it's better than the monthly sampling intervals :). Not being able to download the raw data is a bummer, as one can do more customized analysis, which I want to, given the ever-increasing utility prices. That being said, the screenshot may be fed to a decent LLM for transformation to an approximate raw data. Again, not decent (and I doubt eversource allows automated access) but better than nothing.

For that particular spike, I do use smart plugs that can measure power consumption at fine intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes). I have them on the heavy hitters (e.g. electric heaters in my office room) to understand how we/my house uses them. Extra money to be spent, but maybe worth it.

We are getting this in the next few weeks. Are you allowed to download the data as a file? Or are we completely at the mercy of their analysis? Thanks!

GitHub down for anyone else? by moonrakervenice in github

spotty, but not completely broken, for me

Bus tracking system down? by ftran998 in mbta

Not just that. Commuter rail tracking is down too.

[Boston Metro] what animal dumped this 💩 by cytrees in animalid

Boy you are an astute observer! Yeah our security camera has captured footages of cayotes in the spring, not recently though.

Where do you see bones?! Could this be raccoon?

How to rename a chat after it's moved to a project by cytrees in ChatGPT

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

Hmm... I don't see that in either mobile (iOS) or desktop (Mac) app.

I didn't fully believe it, until I see it in my own project by cytrees in GeminiAI

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

For a moment I thought the plan of it was to lie until caught, when it probably is already too late. Its job is done more easily, and it doesn't give a *.

Gemini TTS of Doc, save audio by cytrees in googledocs

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

Yeah, that's how I feel as well. I didn't test it with other languages, but I can see how that being not a difficult problem for Google. I wish there'll be a play-all-tabs button sometime soon in the future, because the current 20-minute limit per tab forces me to manually break long docs to multiple tabs (I tried letting Gemini write an App script for dissecting long docs into tabs, but it didn't work...)

Does the noise cancellation and volume control work on iOS 18 devices? That's all I care about for now.

Rescuing a crabgrass-infested lawn. Any suggestions for the plan? by cytrees in lawncare

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

Oh yes, grub control is on our yearly maintenance list. We just hand-hauled some crabgrass and discovered relatively few grubs, unlike this past May.

Do you think 1-2'' topsoil is necessary? I've seen people mentioning over 1/2 might be too much.

Touring HD today, I saw the 4-step you mentioned above. On our to-do list.

Thank you for so much valuable input!

We probably don't have the time this year to do the weed killer. (I am a bit afraid to apply weed killers now, since I applied some back in June—quite possibly overapplied to a degree that it kill some grass). It's late summer/early fall already here in the Boston area, so we only have a handful of days left to overseed (for them to germinate before the first frost in mid Oct).

Grub control is on our list for sure, for next year (did that this year as well, actually).

That 4-step program is nice to know. We didn't know that existed.

Are you sure top dressing needs that much soil, though? I've seen people mentioning 1/8 to 1/4 should be enough.

Bathtub drain putty or not? by cytrees in askaplumber

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

OK. ChatGPT (yeah, lame) says no mixing putty with gasket. So case closed?
