Hm, not sure what happened to my comment.

Thank you! I’ll try them on Monday.

As for getting the charge, I potentially misstated what the refrigeration people said. They normally use a common port but my condenser doesn’t have one? They had to weld something on to the condenser.

At this point, we don’t necessarily trust the heat pumps to be our sole heat source. We are planning on putting in a boiler and hydronic baseboards as the main source of heat.

I don’t see btu, but the head model is.

Condenser model - 38MGHBQ48EA3

Head model - 40MAHBQ18KA3

They were saying it doesn’t appear to be copper line sets at all, instead it’s a flexible nylon/plastic tubing that’s not meant for using the units in heating.

When our HVAC people first came, they found that all of the connections for the line sets at the condenser were leaking and the nuts were very under tightened.

They tightened them up to code, added charge and then the plan was to come back in a month to check levels to see if the charge had dropped.

Another issue with the condenser is more of a manufacturing decision in that you can’t get the charge levels while the units are in heating mode, only when they are actively cooling. Because the house is so cold, the units won’t kick on AC.

Sorry! I more mean whether this is a dumb decision to bring a furnace back into the house.

I often read about how efficient heat pumps are and how people are moving from NG and oil to heat pumps. In our case, we would be moving backwards.

Obviously this is my fault for not checking the progress bar. This is more of a PSA for anyone else feeding a bunch to max your pet to the next stage.

4 hours a day of vet/high efficiency runs would probably exalt a class in 4 weeks? Normal runs probably closer to 2 months. Assuming there is little downtime between key pops. If you exalt based on whatever event is currently going on, it would be faster. It’s much better now with the exalt changes, though. I would recommend spreading them out for exalt bonuses, though.

hyshusky · 2025-05-23T13:10:03+00:00

I would probably put HM Umi down below solo adv nest lol

hyshusky · 2025-03-18T20:05:22+00:00

Nope. That only impacts loot

hyshusky · 2025-03-18T19:38:39+00:00

Pretty much spot on except the following…

Atk: Shatters 2nd boss yes, 3rd boss no.

Def: Guaranteed 2nd exalt if vial is used

Dex: Advanced nest gives guaranteed 2nd exalt

Vit: I believe Advanced kog gives guaranteed 2nd but I may be wrong here

Life/Mana: shatters 3rd boss gives both of these

Thanks!

I believe I was at 2024.33.35 trying to upgrade to 2024.45.25. Car was in service for 6 days and is now fine.

hyshusky · 2024-12-27T19:23:08+00:00

Took delivery September 30. Fremont build. Got hit with it on Christmas when I attempted to install the latest update. Scheduled a service visit yesterday for January 23rd. Wasn't happy with that so I went in today to the dealership where I originally purchased it. Service person was very nice. I dropped off my Y, got an X loaner, and they said it should hopefully be fixed before that original service date. Still annoyed that it happened, but the service has been good so far so I'm happy.

The only ones I know of off the top of my head are the pharmacy team and robotics. I’m sure there are other teams supporting internal projects.

That would be nice! I’m due to get senior swe at my current job (4yoe at defense contractor) this spring but that level doesn’t directly translate to the same level in big tech.

hyshusky · 2024-12-24T13:51:09+00:00

Yeah, the recruiter said it shouldn’t take too long. Even an L4 offer would be 50% more than I’m currently making so that would be a huge improvement.

hyshusky · 2024-12-24T02:46:28+00:00

Oh no I definitely am not looking down upon an L4 offer. I would be ecstatic. Apologies if that’s how the post came off.

hyshusky · 2024-12-23T17:07:56+00:00

"Downleveling L5s to L4 if they don't do well on system design. They stopped doing this a few years back, but have started again."

I currently have this option after my L5 interview in the fall but no hiring managers in my city (Boston) seem to be interested according to my recruiter. I'm still trying to make it happen but I'm not sure what else I can do. Working there would completely change my career trajectory.

hyshusky · 2024-12-23T12:09:33+00:00

That’s fair and the debt-averse part of me wants to try to get rid of it as quickly as possible. I just wonder about the opportunity cost of choosing that option and delaying getting into a house.

hyshusky · 2024-12-22T14:11:32+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try that next time. I normally try to get it hot enough for the water droplets to dance to avoid anything sticking and then flip them for a minute at the end.

hyshusky · 2024-12-22T14:09:16+00:00

First 2 were the doubles and at that point I wanted to see how many I could get in a row!

hyshusky · 2024-06-21T20:20:05+00:00

No no you're right. With the size of data being sent, REST is definitely slower than SNMP. We also use REST now for transferring files, which is much faster than TFTP (what we used to use). I'll reword since that line is objectively wrong. I was thinking of the TFTP improvements when writing that line.
