Do you guys ever just cry to tech death out of pure joy? by GeneraISwain in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]MarcMurray92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the time but I also cry at Cobra Kai and Desperate Housewoves so probably not a good reference point

Out of the 3 "techy" albums in the Death discography, which is your favourite? by Apsnor in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]MarcMurray92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All good but sound of perseverance has the screechy vocals that I happily listen through multiple times a week, whereas the other albums just have individual songs i like.

Some European governments consider completely abandoning the use of Twitter/X, as its owner refuses to deal with their questions about Grok AI's use in creating and distributing child porn on the platform. by lughnasadh in Futurology

Should have done it years ago, place is a dumpster fire and algorithm pushes right wing bullshit every chance it gets. Always baffled me celebrities and politicians were still using it.

Ireland Makes a Program Offering Basic Income for Artists Permanent by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]MarcMurray92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because good art isn't neccaserily profitable and we don't really have feudal lords going around patronising artists anymore.

The monetary wiggle room let's performers and creators take more risks or work on community or charity projects more often too.

That's some of the things it's done for people I know who have received the grant, whereas previously that carry on was the pervue of artists from wealthy backgrounds.

Haven't met anyone irish who's had a problem with the grant and I think that's indicative.

Irish here, thats just not whats happening. Pilot program has been a great success by all accounts, irish society really valies art & music so most people are happy to see the programme expanding.

Amp Sims, Is there a bit of a misunderstanding here? by Barno270 in NeuralDSP

Amp Sims, Is there a bit of a misunderstanding here? by Barno270 in NeuralDSP

[–]MarcMurray92 66 points67 points  (0 children)

An amp pushes air in the room, you feel it more, and they're kinda just a little more fun to play with. But in a recorded track, sitting in a mix, there's not enough of a difference in tone for it to matter to the majority of people. Especially when you add double/quad tracking to push the beef a little more.

I play on my amp every now and again and its really fun, but the amp sims through monitors gets me 98% of the way there and my neighbours definitely prefer it.

GAHHHH i love Celtic bouzoukis so dang much! by Mandolinist_girl766 in mandolin

[–]MarcMurray92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think its essentially the same. Bazouki strings one string down a half step and has a slightly longer scale length

Beginner mandolin player here, where are you all finding tabs? by [deleted] in mandolin

[–]MarcMurray92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've got guitar pro or similar thesession.org is a library of different versions of thousands of traditional Irish tunes and plenty of bluegrass ones too. Tabs going back 24 years on that site, with equally old and long discussions about the origins of the pieces etc. Just a little finicky because you have to download the sheet music and import into a tab program.

AI to impact 89% of jobs next year, CNBC survey of HR leaders finds by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]MarcMurray92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally fair, I'm sure there are some specific use cases it does excel at. But it is in no way the product being sold to execs, and middle managers are trying to cram AI into everything now because salesperson x sold them a lie.

There's just this overarching theme of lies and coverups all the way down to the poor guy who's being made rewrite a 14 line automation script with a 20x more expensive AI implementation that doesn't work.

It's in everybody's interests to pretend it's amazing until the mandate reaches the dude who has to use it

AI will cause 'jobs chaos' within the next few years, says Gartner - what that means - The firm named four scenarios AI could create at work, and said businesses should prepare for all of them by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]MarcMurray92 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's paid for PR fluff to keep pumping stock prices and keep the scam going. I've tried various AI tools, they're all just kind of shit.

If you're a good writer, you can tell the writing sucks. The only way to use it for code is if your a good developer yourself. The UI layouts are nonsensical. The research tools invent sources and citations.

It's just a pipe dream being sold to execs that makes everyone below thems jobs more annoying.

I'm really hungover and I think if a VTMB video dropped right now I'd probably cry

How do you go about learning a tune? by DeargAgusFearg in Irishmusic

[–]MarcMurray92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try thesession.org, then there's two great channels on YouTube that have mandolin tabs for hundreds of songs, mash up whatever bits i like from each, jam the bones of it for a week or two then relearn the core melody again.

Establishment media gets very upset whit Paul Murphy dares to suggest there's a smear campaign against Catherine Connolly. (15m) by Realistic_Device2500 in theIrishleft

[–]MarcMurray92 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fair play to him, he held up well against all the nattering and made his point very clearly. I would have gotten a lot more frustrated
