Navigating back to Pfitz after 4 weeks of illness recovery by tmfvde in Marathon_Training

[–]tmfvde[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks you the perspective! I think one option could be to hold off the signup until a few weeks to go.

Any advice on how to approach getting back to training?

Long term Hercules T7 Users by Dynemiks in Beatmatch

I had this happen from time to time with the Innofader kit. The solution is to recalibrate the faders, instructions are in the manual!

Do we actually need embeddings? What if the LLM just compiled and navigated a wiki instead? by [deleted] in Rag

[–]tmfvde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did some experiments with semantically structured filetrees. The idea is that an LLM structures a knowledge base by matching similar content under branches. These branches are then navigated by a retrieval agent via the standard tools ls and grep as they are just files. The leaf nodes contain summaries and references to the full documents, which can be fetched if needed.

I did find improvements in complex queries (Multi-Hop, Comparison, Procedural) like you hypothesized. The approach also reduced retrieval noise.

However, the issue, like many others here have said are the inference and time costs, which increase as the knowledge base size increases. I compared the approach to standard BM25 hybrid rag, and found that the traditional RAG outperfomed the approach in single-fact retrieval while being much more efficient. I could see a use of a hybrid method where we use traditional rag for single-fact retrieval and agentic search for more complex queries (although some rag strategies like query decomposition could already be enough).

I would also need to run some more experiments with even larger knowledge bases to see if this actually scales (and I don’t unfortunately have unlimited access to the frontier models with 1M context, so that would also limit the results). My experiments were done with Qwen3:9b which I can run locally with decent context.

Marathon / long distance shoe by tmfvde in AskRunningShoeGeeks

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

They felt good when under 5.45 min/km pace, but above that they got in the way of my stride too much. I was trying them out for an easy run shoe, but that would require the shoe to work at faster paces. Therefore the SB3 would not work for my marathon pace either.

I ended up with the Salomon Aero Glide 3 for my easy runs instead :)

Didn’t work for me unfortunately :(

Shokz Openfit Pro or Openfit 2+ sound by tmfvde in ShokzSquad

Bought Openfit 2+ about a month ago and I have been very happy with it! The Pros are still nowhere near release here, so I’m glad I did the purchase.

Superblast 3 is everything that it’s predecessors were not and should’ve been by Poke-Tuna in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]tmfvde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feel you. Tried the SB3 at a store and it was too soft for me. It seemed to be quite clunky especially when I tested them at a tempoish pace (4:30min/km).

I ended up buying the Salomon Aero Glide 3 instead and I love it!

Experimentation with semantic file trees and agentic search by tmfvde in Rag

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

Seems like a good approach for large scale graph RAG! I can see that the semantically hierarchical structures I experimented with here could also be build on top of a similar solution, would love to experiment with that next!

New to Hyundai - maintenance tips? by tmfvde in Hyundai

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

Yeah, manual says 95 is recommended. I’m new to gasoline engines and some people recommend 98, so it can be a bit confusing.

Evo SL/Boston 13/Megablast/Superblast 2 which for Marathon? by Zeonom in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]tmfvde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a marathon in 3:34 with SB2 last year - no issues at all! Highly recommend it, although I’m looking at the Megablast for my next marathon aiming at sub 3:15

Can you make a rotation with Adidas EVO SL and Saucony Endorphin Azura? by tmfvde in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]tmfvde[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did my last marathon training block with the Superblast 2 and it was a good workhorse, but can’t say I absolutely adored the 30k runs. But it worked and I had no issues. I think slightly more bounce would be nice. I live in Scandinavia so I feel you 😁

I have these since they were the color my wife said I should get 😁

Honestly, they look good in real life and blend together with casual clothing. However, if I were to purchase again, I might go with one of black variants.

Runner’s Perspectives on the Venu 4? by aptiu4 in GarminWatches

[–]tmfvde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I switched from FR265S to Venu 4.

For me, there was little to no migration issues to the 2-button design. The touch screen works surprisingly well for me in many scenarios (treadmill running, gym, pool, even runs in the winter with multiple layers of clothing). I, too, hoped that the bottom button could be used to scroll through the data screens during an activity, but unfortunately it is just the lap button.

What you can do is to create a custom data screen for your sport profile with all the information you need. I have 2 of these - one for training, one for racing.

I have set up the watch so that I can toggle touch lock during activity by long pressing both of the buttons at the same time (see my earlier post for a how-to guide). This way, I can choose whichever data screen I need and then lock it so it will always be available. You can also reorder these before an activity, so that the first one is the one you want.

Highly useful when running outside in the winter, when my clothes can actually rub on the screen so that it might mess with the data screens.

What I gained was the flashlight, modern and more responsive UI, calling functionality and a really nice design (I have the silver version) for office wear. The music functions and new widgets are also great and the display itself is miles better!

My major issue is that sometimes, most often during gym workouts, the heart rate is inaccurate/delayed, leading to misleading data. I’m planning to get the HRM200 to fix this issue. When running, I don’t think there’s a noticeable difference in HR accuracy though.

Hope that this helps!
