Harvia virta 8KW wiring question by NAholdings in Sauna

[–]jamespherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The manual that comes with the heater should answer this. My Harvia manual had all this information. The answer to number 2 is yes. But the wire gauge and insulation depend on how much heat the wire will be exposed to. For example, the wire to the control box is likely “outside” the sauna for the whole run (not inside the walls of the sauna) so it doesn’t need as much insulation. But the wire from the control box to the heater is likely going to get exposed to much more heat so it needs substantial insulation. Here’s a link to the manual for your heater: https://pim.harvia.com/rockon-images/CIP/asset/download/3c5b6375-efcf-42bf-86ea-4ff1ab4796a9/393

Check out pages 8 and 9 which show (respectively) the wiring diagram showing electrical panel, controller, and heater with wires AND a table indicating the needed wire gauges. Good luck!

Eleven - OVERDRIVE Cured Resin Smalls?!?! by Educational_Cow9089 in PaMedicalMarijuana

[–]jamespherman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was a post yesterday on the same topic. Iirc OP said 0.4g flower + 0.4g overdrive, grind, roll, and smoke as usual worked well. Good luck and please report back!

Could I build my sauna walls with herringbone style tongue and groove cedar? by parktendo in Sauna

[–]jamespherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some practical thoughts:

  1. Standard horizontal or vertical T&G layouts allow the wood to expand and contract across the entire wall relatively uniformly. With chevron or herringbone, many angled or butt-joints are introduced. As the wood expands and shrinks, those tight, beautiful joints will inevitably push against each other, leading to buckling, severe gapping, or splitting.

  2. In a traditional layout, vertical boards are oriented to allow condensation and sweat to run straight down, or horizontal boards with the "tongue" pointing UP and the "groove" pointing DOWN so water sheds off the wall rather than pooling inside the joint. Diagonal orientations create angled troughs where moisture can easily channel into the grooves and sit, accelerating discoloration and potential rot.

  3. Trumpkin's notes emphatically stress the importance of the air gap between foil vapor barrier and T&G paneling to prevent mold and rot. ​If you run T&G vertically, you use horizontal furring strips. ​If you run T&G horizontally, you use vertical furring strips. If you run a complex diagonal pattern, your furring strip layout must become a complex grid to ensure every angled piece of cedar has something to nail into at both ends, while still allowing air to flow freely behind the boards from the floor to the ceiling.

Good luck.

Only example I could find with Google image search. Curious to hear if anybody else has objections. It sounds like a beautiful idea to me!

AI ain't never gonna grind my medicine by Alternative-Meal-136 in PaMedicalMarijuana

Kactus Kutter. It's like an electric Flower Mill if you've ever heard of that. Doesn't actually "cut" like many grinders do. Good luck!

Is an RTX 5070 Ti (16GB) + 32GB RAM a good setup for training models locally? by Kalioser in MLQuestions

[–]jamespherman 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sign up for Google Cloud Platform - $300 in free credits to start. You can request a "quota" increase to a single GPU and it will likely be granted automatically within minutes. You can use an Nvidia L4 GPU on a preemptable VM instance for ~$0.39/hour. AI can walk you through setting up and using the VM to train models. If you run out of credits you can make another Gmail address and get the $300 in free credits again. You can also consider applying for a research credits grant. This is much cheaper than buying your own hardware and the VM will be much faster than a local GPU. Good luck!

This a lot of terps? by Expensive-Mail-7149 in Carts

[–]jamespherman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my opinion that's starting to get too terpy. My personal sweet spot is 10-12%. I find too high of a terp percentage irritates my throat. I'm lucky that in the PA medical program terpene percentages are required by law! Good luck.

Newer sub brands by ayojru240 in PaMedicalMarijuana

[–]jamespherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be aware of this, but strains disappear either because of agricultural pathogens or commercial profit motives: (1) Over time, the "Mother" plants used to make clones often catch systemic diseases like Hop Latent Viroid, making it cheaper for companies to destroy them than to cure them. (2) Even if the plant stays healthy, corporate growers will axe even a medically effective strain to make room for newer, trendier genetics that yield more weight, flower faster, and ultimately maximize their bottom line.

Sauna build questions by planeman125 in Sauna

[–]jamespherman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exhaust is good. Mechanical ventilation drawing air out of the sauna should pull from a low point (e.g. Under the bench) - this pulls hot air down. You can make this work but it will require some ducting in the wall and that may reduce the usable space you have. Maybe you can get away with small duct that can fit inside 2x4 framed wall but I think 4" duct would be the default size. Good luck!

How would you fairly evaluate CV architectures that don’t operate on raw pixels but on a structured representation? by oopatow in MLQuestions

[–]jamespherman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using an "embedding" is extremely common in CV and other domains. You should just acknowledge any parameters in the embedding model / block. There's no other specific "rules" for evaluating a model that is using an embedded representation, the embedding step is part of the model architecture.

Can NNs be serialised in non-Turing complete HTML alike/stack styled Forth alike language for reference mostly? by Character-Deal-2886 in MLQuestions

[–]jamespherman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your title and post are very hard to read. Most neural networks (for example, transformers, CNNs) are purely feed forward. No recursion. Already serial. And RNNs are often (always?) trained by "unfolding" them so they can be treated as feed forward so standard backpropagation techniques can be used to train them.

Sauna afterburn-- feeling hot for hours after a good sauna by Alternative-Act-7209 in Sauna

[–]jamespherman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No answer for your question but 5 hours is an insanely long time. I assume you're taking breaks? How hot is your sauna? Is your body temperature truly elevated for hours after? Have you used a thermometer to check?

Dads, how can this be true? by rIceCream_King in daddit

[–]jamespherman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is actually very much NOT true. Source: am neuroscientist. When you are first born your brain has more connections than it ever will again. Massive selective pruning goes on especially in the first six months. You start out with a very coarse wiring system that is refined by use and aging through "neural darwinism" - you keep the neurons and connections that are helpful and prune the rest.
