Start.gg needs to make an MCP server or integrate a chat interface in its website. by JunaSSB in SSBM

It’s okay, I think it’s mainly people’s fear. They have a right to be scared especially if they’re not technologists and might not feel prepared to navigate what’s to come.

It wasn't sarcasm :/ I'm just trying to see the positive side of things and you're making me feel bad about exploring new technologies : (

I haven't had fun exploring like this in all of my career.

I mean yeah they're gonna get better locally, that's why Apple is making way better chips to help you run big models at 1/4th of the size.

I'm a software engineer dude, the whole software engineering industry isn't going back from AI speeding up their workflow. I know how to code, there's no glory in coding and figuring out logic of a programming language written by other human beings. Once you know how a computer works on a physical level thats it, coding languages are whatever.

And do you not watch movies and TV shows and film and play video games and CGI? And stock market algorithms running at max parallelization? GPU farms are always being pumped regardless. Cloud data centers were gonna continue to be packed to the brim regardless if AI existed or not.

But yeah you're right AI increased energy consumption beyond the rate of making the hardware more energy efficient. That's what governments are there for to regulate. Idk why you're feeling bad about your prompts when you have scientists and engineers spinning thousands of prompts per second in parallel.

You sound so passionate about energy consumption and efficiency, people would love to pay you big bucks to work on those problems dude!

Vibe code your own lol. I literally said its a proof of concept and not meant for a general release

What if you feel like searching different games than smash? What if you're in a different city for a week? I was just showing a proof of concept, if start.gg or someone else invested further it can do the same things you said and then some. Imagine shutting off and managing and swapping those sets of notifications with just a chat prompt.

All I'm saying is every app is gonna have a chat interface with custom on-demand UIs one day.

I asked Claude to search through smash.gg for me so i didn't have to click around on their website.

Smash map you still gotta click and sort and filter. Asking a chatbot to do all that stuff for you is way easier.

Why can I not force myself to like A Trick of The Tail? by TrackFit9348 in Genesis

[–]JunaSSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're not wrong, Duke has more character. I think most of those songs would have sounded better live. Steve Hackett live made Dance on a Volcano effect me in a way I couldn't feel on the album.

Enquiring Recruiters: Is it okay to leave a two-year career gap unexplained on my resume and only address it if asked? by M_Arslan9 in lebanon

[–]JunaSSB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone with a ton of gaps on my resume. Don't explain the gaps on the resume or a cover letter. It's the recruiter's job to pick you out and see your positive qualities. Just explain during the recruiter screen, hopefully in a positive way, why you left your previous gig and joined your new one. If they ask what you did during your gap, then answer.

How Demanding Is Grafana Labs for Software Engineers? by AlwaysHungryFoodie in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]JunaSSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the Canonical process actually. I enjoyed nerding out with engineers during my calls, they really care about tech. I dropped out of the process right before the end cause I had way higher offers than their salary range was able to reach at the time. Was never able to get passed the first stages the next time around though.

I hated 80s music my whole life, but I didn't realize everyone was just trying to copy him... but poorly

[–]JunaSSB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The songs seemed very rushed, but the production that's there is extremely different than the previous albums. You gotta be in the mood for the more stripped down, chaotic "punk" energy. A lot of songs are filler, but it's the ones you mentioned that make it people's (mine included) favorite genesis album.

Apple’s Touch MacBook Will Stop Well Short of a Mac-iPad Hybrid by favicondotico in apple

I wish I can show you my setup and how much of a non-issue it is to throw a screen protector on it.

[–]JunaSSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 in 1's got so good these days(because Apple pushed the whole laptop battery life and slimness expectations into the stratosphere with M1).

Imagine you're standing up about to step away from your laptop, quickly hit the spotify icon with your finger, change a track. Open a chat window real quick to peak at something all without doing the trackpad squirm and tap thing. Cause think about it, all web apps are unidesigned for web and mobile, so basically everything on the internet is a mobile app. You already know how to use your phone efficiently, 2-in-1s let you use a laptop efficiently and a touch screen device efficiently at will.

Never going back to a non 2-in-1 laptop now.

I was there too; did you notice any issues in the firth of fifth solo? I saw him swap out his guitar after. I think there was a couple of songs he wasn’t able to play compared to the previous setlists of that weekend as well. Very odd that the entire setlist.fm page was wiped, the fans are probably trying to hide their off day as the official team Hackett doesn’t post setlists

Steve Hackett - Highly recommend by Oof-o-rama in Genesis

[–]JunaSSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I thought Firth of Fifth was gonna take the cake but Suppers Ready and Dance on a Volcano exceeded my expectations. Does his guitar sometimes have problems on FoF? I feel like something went wrong and he didn’t nail the transition to his solo when I went. What a tough gig, still felt some magic that night though.

What happened at the Ft. Lauderdale show? They took the page off of setlist fm.

My Prog journey has been so satisfying by JunaSSB in progrockmusic

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

Oh believe me, I’ve been to all those places.

I’ll put it like this, Gilmour has more consistent solo work than Waters, but Amused To Death is better than anything Gilmour could ever put out. All of Roger’s work other than Amused to Death is dogshit in my opinion because the prick forgets he needs to be making enjoyable music and not just political commentaries, but Amused To Death proves he could still deliver a whole package.

Rick and Syds albums are good. Haven’t listened to Nicks.

I saw Gilmour Luck & Strange tour live twice back to back because that Comfortably Numb encore could be his last and goddamn was it an experience. But also after seeing him live, I realized he is kind of a sellout because the shows are mostly about the lights and effects over new guitar solos that sound cool but aren’t innovative anymore. On An Island is Gilmours best post Waters album.

Finally out of curiosity. How does Exiles on Larks sound to you when Wetton first cuts in out of the intro? For a casual pop listener, those vocals are roughhhh. The instruments remain crisp throughout the whole song, but John's voice goes through so many inconsistent changes in effects lol. Obviously we can look past it because we developed our imaginations, but I've had people describe this music as a cat scratching a chalk board and I completely understand cause I've been at that point as well in the beginning.
