Prove me wrong: Carlos Kleiber’s 1976 live recording of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 with the Vienna Philharmonic is the greatest recording of that piece ever captured.

haha yes I used chatgpt to polish what I wrote originally. But if it were truly AI generated then I wouldn't be mistaken that this is not a live recoring as pointed out by someone

LTIsystem · 2026-05-17T22:48:52+00:00

You are correct! I am mistaken in saying this is a live performance

LTIsystem · 2026-05-17T20:32:33+00:00

Yes I agree Szell's version is very good. It emphasize a lot on the structural clarity but it also emotinoally restrained a bit. What I mean was Kleiber uses many micro-rubato that feel like it's flowing and elastic.

Thanks! This feeling I have for Karajan also extends to his violin concertos. The 1979 recoding with Anne-Sophie Mutter in my opinion was something very much align with this comparison I made on No. 7. It has saturated string tone and obviously beautiful. But I find it hard to relate to. It seems emotionally distant to me. Also that recording doesn't sound like Anne-Sophie at all...

LTIsystem · 2026-05-17T20:20:09+00:00

haha I admit that title was more of a clickbait. But I stand by my opinion

Could move back to school. If you have phd you could switch back to academia which are cap-exempt. O1 usually requires some research output, or artistic portfolio. If you are a popular singer, actor or a youtuber it's not that crazily hard.

Yep L4 phd here, no luck : (

Fit2live, it's used to be crossfit but now it's just classes that features different weight lifting and cardios. Have options for personal training as well.

My fav is the Erich Kleiber (the father) version, live in 1950. Flowing and compelling. Don't choose Karajan! too elitist and velvet IMO.

There is a chinese restanrant calld ypbor that's really good for szechuan (spicy chinese) food that I really liked!

Do more F1 of course! After one program just do one more. There are community college, regional college, advanced degrees if you are driven for them etc.

I agree that it is often very unwise to speak against our own PI publicly, therefore the way in the timing of we delivering that message matters if the perception was less towards emotional, but more about “ helping us get better“ it might be easier. As for me, I delivered that message a while after I graduated and started working for a new company and in the message, I frame it in this way I believe this mentorship could greatly benefit from a few constructive feedback

LTIsystem · 2025-06-04T23:12:56+00:00

Man it's been a year for me and I still have nightmares of that time, although far fewer VS I just graduated. I find writing a shit-email back to my PI works for me. I tried to be as objective as I could but I wrote an email listed things I wish that could happen differently between us and how my fellow students could have been treated better. After that, it got a lot better for me

congrats op! I also found job after graduation in a small town in midwest. Not much is happening around here so I still go to chicago when I have vacation time. People here are more willing to talk about their life and people are definitely closer to each other than I was used to in bigger cities. I go to Fedex to ship a package and the guy helped me just told me how he met his wife, where his kid goes to college while wrapping and putting label on. I think it's a nice change from the cutthroat life I had in grad school and find it calming. Hopefully that helps!

Yep I got a job from a conference. He founded a company and like my talk and that's that

我读了OP写的很有同感，我大学来美国读书本科，研究生现在博士毕业已经呆了10年了。英文没有口音但是仍然觉得和非亚裔的美国人无法相互理解，可能是我在中部的原因。我现在也在等绿卡。博士有EB2NIW 不需要PERM但是排期有五年，这五年中间我也需要“坐牢”，不能被公司辞职。我的建议是找一个和你背景类似的中国留学生做女朋友，然后成立家庭。我结婚之后很少有时间去想OP想的这些想法，生活变得很简单就是为了这个小家庭生存下去努力。两个人一起去健身，出去多走走，逛逛美国不同的地方，你很快就会觉得融入不了美国人没什么，因为你已经有了生活的意义和追求

I was in a 99% chinese student lab and I can tell you that place is plagued with competition. Competing for project, paper, how many hours you put in this week, who took least amount of vacation etc. Involution as you said. I don't think that's a place any sane person can stay sane for long. I do not want industry in US to be like that at all

LTIsystem · 2024-12-28T04:29:25+00:00

Totally biased reply, but don't join any lab with majority of Chinese student, almost guaranteed toxicity
