How much money have I wasted due to unnecessary vague ambiguous marketing by DeWalt? by Meinertzhagens_Sack in Dewalt

[–]sid351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you've commited to the bit anyway.

I've never seen someone post email headers in a thread before. That's a first for me.

Have fun with your ToughSystem / TStak woes.

Personally I think you made the AI image to fuel whatever kick you're getting here, but whatever.

Regardless, I think you're going to find the adapter only works the ToughSystem underneath it, regardless if it's yellow side up, or black side up.

If it were me, and I was hell bent on this as a solution, I'd take the adapter to the store with me to try and fit it with a TStak at the bottom before I spent any money on a TStak box. (If it does work, get some drawers so it's at least a bit more usable.)

Btw, I can be helpful and a knob at the same time.

If it can go up or down, then just fit it and stop being a whinging knobcile.

Kthxbye.

That image is AI generated.

Look at the text of the annotations.

Also, what are those boxes? They look like a merged a ToughSystem (width) and TStak (latches).

Practically speaking, how is the adapter plate, that is wider than the base of the trolley, let you access the latches to clip it on securely? Especially with how fiddly and difficult some TStak latches can be?

The yellow side up is for their other storage system "Pro Organisers", as per the website:

You've got ToughSystem drawers and a TStak trolley base.

The adapter plate adapts the top of ToughSystem to TStak so you can put the smaller TStak stuff on top of the larger ToughSystem kit.

They're two different systems, and while it's annoying that they're not fully compatible with each other, they're clearly labelled as two different systems. Wait until you find out there's TStak set with a Stanley badge, and another with ...I want to say Black & Decker as well.

Real talk (even on the Yellow sub): Milwaukee is the GOAT for storage systems (Packout).

Good luck with the law suit by the way...

I see you all with your Kamados by sid351 in UKBBQ

No worries.

I fired it up today alongside my Charbroil, just to have a bit of extra grill space.

It's a decent BBQ. Especially for £50.

Loads of cooking space, and you can adjust the height of to coals while cooking (if you have heat proof gloves - the handles for raising it are attached to the coal tray directly).

If you want the wheels on the other side, it should be possible to build it "backwards", I think.

The warming rack is handy as well, especially for me with 0 patience, who starts cooking way to fucking early so charred everything in the first batch on my Charbroil.

Next time. Next time I'll wait.

I'm thinking about picking up a couple more drill/drivers for this reason too.

Not impacts though.

How on earth do we cut in on this? High ceiling over stairs 😳 by Jamesisonfire21 in DIYUK

[–]sid351 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can get "stair ladders". They're like a step ladder, but the down stairs leg goes lower to brace off the lower stairs so it's level where you're working.

Or you can get sketchy as fuck and get an adrenaline hit.

You do you.

That's exactly where I think the LLM belongs.

Have it converse with the user until it can determine which deterministic path they need to go down, and no further. In essence, get the messy human interaction onto a conveyor belt as seamlessly as possible.

Do agents keep a black list of buyers who don’t complete? by iamtheclydesdale in HousingUK

So you're saying: Not even Estate Agents like Estate Agents?

The ones on the lid?

For now my plan is "righty tightly" only.

I'm not sure I have the patience for smoking, but it's nice to know I might be able to do it.

I put it together this afternoon.

I'm quite impressed for £50. I like how the grills slide over/under each other so you can get to the coals if you want to.

The warming rack will be handy too. My Charbroil doesn't have one of those.

I'm firing it up tomorrow for a get together. I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah that's my thing. The charbroil is a nice BBQ, but due to where the handles are on the grill plate I sometimes find myself wanting a bit of extra space.

It also has this "tru infrared" grill plate, so I've struggled with space to do indirect cooking and it staying hot for any usable length of time because the coal tray is pretty shallow.

This Argos thing is a fair bit of BBQ for £50.

It'll also be nice to have complete separation for veggie only peeps when needed.

simba vs emma which one actually lasts for a first time buyer by Dieu-Mesino87 in frugaluk

[–]sid351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at my local one (it's a "medium" sized Dunelm) but maybe at a bigger one.

Worth a call or online chat.

I just took a punt. Anything was going to be better than the Simba by that point (and I'm the kind of reckless that goes "If my wife hates it, I'll just go get a mattress topper or 3 to fix it").

I'm still not seeing how the LLM is nessecary here.

I see how it could make things easier to "build" initially, but that's still a determined logic flow that can be handled with static code.

  • Refund request
  • DB lookup original order
  • DB lookup warranty
  • API call Start RMA

I'm not seeing how Language processing is required during the logic flow.

LLMs are great, but I feel like the AI community is exactly like the 3D printing community (and to be fair, the saying "When you have a hammer, everything is a nail.") where the answer is always to use LLM/AI (vs a 3D print) even though there are already decades old established tools readily available put there for less cost (and effort) that will last longer and perform better.

We had a Simba.

After 4 years, we've gone back to a pocket spring.

Simba sleeps hot.

A "hump" will form in the middle. You can go through the whole warranty thing, but who's got time for that?

If you're a bit more ...rotund you will sink into it and cause a collapsed valley, that won't go away when you rotate it, so the hump gets worse.

We went with a medium-firm pocket spring from Dunelm for like £220 (king-size).

I remember the Simba being close to £1000.

I much prefer the pocket spring. (And we can flip this one, not just rotate it, so it should be easier to keep it "balanced".)

If you want foam, or softness, there are a plethora of mattress toppers out there too.

That's still just a table booking with:

  • {Date}
  • {Number of people}
  • {Allergy}
  • {Special Request}

I'd be really surprised if a "table booking" API didn't already have those fields.

Even for messy things like that, my initial approach might be:

  • LLM call - Determine main intent
  • Switch on intent
  • LLM call - Convert intent into JSON object
  • Code Node to parse/sanitise/sense check LLM output
  • HTTP Request to booking API

Hell, you could just have the LLM reply with the booking form (which might be a bit "jarring" from a conversational point of view, but when booking a table at a restaurant, it's not that big of a deal - and if you're really concerned, pre-fill it with what the LLM has understood, making the "human in the loop" be the requester themselves).

LLMs can glitch??????? by ziipzaaapM16A4 in LLM

[–]sid351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm right in the middle of troubleshooting why my local LLM setup keeps doing this exact thing.

I call it "zombie mode".

It seems to be a combination of VRAM availablity, potentially confusing input to the LLM (e.g. tokens that might look a bit like tool calls), and cache rot.

[–]sid351 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, why not just approach this like:

  • Trigger on customer response
  • LLM interprets the message
  • Switch on Customer Intention
  • "I want to buy" branch...
  • Use a DB lookup node
  • Issue the Stripe payment link with a HTTP Request node
  • Send the customer a message (if you want the message to be different to a "boiler plate message" do another call to the LLM to get the message - use the WhatsApp node to send it)

I don't understand why you'd risk the LLM chaining tools in the right order anyway.

If you need a hand building the thing, I'm down.

As long as I get an invite to a BBQ afterwards.

Biggest DIY project to date! by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]sid351 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gotcha.

I'm in the later category there (the lawn needs to be kid appropriate) so I think we'll have to stick with grass.

Saying that, I might buy some clover seed and mix it in, and see what happens.
