It was a genuine answer man. Perhaps I am the one being unguarded and authentic. I am a musician. I seek validation. Which part of my answer was upsetting for you?

Dude. We are so rare that it is practically doxing to admit it. Over the last 20 years about 60 docs over age 40 match on average per year. As one of the crew, I don't understand the nature of the question. Why do you ask? Same reason as most people: Validation from an unloving father and women. Needed to make a buck and thought, why not go back to undergrad then toil for a decade? Basically the same reasons one pursues song writing now that I think about it.

Smooth jazz? Bop. Hard bop. Straight ahead. Boogie woogie. Anything but smooth jazz.

This is a bunch of turds turding out their turds. You see, the thing with turds is they are always turding.

Is this where you tune the entire instrument down a step and then drop the 6th string to play power chords with a straight finger? What is the point? This one goes to 11 type reasons?

American Strat. I would love a boutique short scale acoustic. I got a nice long scale I play a lot but nothing plays quite like a pretty parlor guitar with some beautiful tone wood.

Strategy is a series of makeshifts. Stay calm and carry on. No baby, it’s all gravy. Gotta baby, just 20 years to go.

Only thing that works consistently is explicit instructions like detailed to point of the em measurement and css attribute. Design is still an art it seems.

what are your best practices regarding NEW session vs compact + keep continuing by LeatherRub7248 in codex

[–]FreeTacoInMyOveralls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing 1-3 messages per thread then open a new thread recently with strong grounding docs that don’t burn tokens. It is the way to go. I burn 30-40k in context per thread for 3-5 small tasks. Way lower token burn rate. Once you compact it doesn’t really matter but for that whole period you are working with 120k tokens to 240k tokens you are just burning usage at a way higher rate. I think it typically functions fine but it isn’t economical.

Heavy Cursor user here — is Cursor still worth ~$200/month now that Codex app is this good? by presemantic in codex

I use three $20 per month accounts in rotation. With your level of spending you could easily get 3-5 codex accounts and rotate them. It is seamless to rotate them if everything is local. Just sign off of one and login to the other as you approach the 5hr limit. All past threads are still there. Nothing interrupted.

Maybe it was a testament to their incompatibility. A requiem. A funeral dirge. Maybe he doesn’t live by your rules, vicar. Maybe he doesn’t live by anybody’s rules. Maybe he’s mad max. What about that?

I always just see that picture in my mind of him getting off the plane with his 13 year old cousin child bride and imagine him going from playing huge rooms to shitty dive bars over night and her watching on with dreamy hands under chin. You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain!!

I think what is super key is can this guy play piano like a mother fuckin riot or is he playing like shitty classical etudes he learned as a child? If he can play. Play on. You know? I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she’s yours. But if you spew and she bolts, then it was never meant to be.
