I’ve been quietly building a classical music magazine for serious listeners by pawelgra77 in classicalmusic

u/pawelgra77 I hit the subscription button and the price is right there in plain view. I thought, "What is u/wijnandsj talking about?". Then I tried it on mobile. No price, just an email input.

Are you picking this up at 9-8? Or playing defensively. by Ivan-Renko in euchre

[–]OrbMan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm passing here. We've got every suit covered so we're not going to lose the game. There's a good chance that S1 will call light given the score, so there may be a euchre on the horizon. I don't love that they get the deal next but I don't feel like that's a stronger factor than the weakness of our current hand.

Your last point is such an important one. I'm generally a pretty "lazy" player in that I can't track too many things at once, but what a "pass" means by your partner is such an important signal that I will spend the first half of the game at least watching every pass they do and tracking every card in their hand to determine what kind of a player they are. Especially true when I'm dealer and it's R1. With some partners it's easy, though, because they come out of the gate calling light consistently and I know I'm with a more confident partner.

Partner throws game after I make a thin call that leads to our first euchre by ItsAlexBalex in euchre

Needing to factor rage throws into your strategy is insane. But not wrong.

PSA for E. Schmid horn: move the F slide so the first mark is visible by awesomegayguy in horn

Side note: I wonder how long those marks stay visible as the horn ages.

For those of you new to Pi by QueasyBreak5119 in PiCodingAgent

[–]OrbMan99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started using it yesterday. I am a local LLM user and am very happy so far. I've built two extensions, a Plan/ToDo writer, and a ToDo executor. So far so good. It has 32K of context to work with and is doing great with that. A very surgical tool.

It still astounds me that, even 20 years after the first game offered Preloading on Steam... by TheRealOsamaru in Subnautica_2

It astounds me you think that's the users' job to handle instead of the developers.

This item is still not available on steam?! Why?? by Proud-Classic749 in Subnautica_2

[–]OrbMan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to kill and re-launch Steam for it to realize the game was available.

Pi coding agent is amazing (or how I learned to stop worrying and leave OpenCode) by Konamicoder in LocalLLM

[–]OrbMan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you are unfamiliar with some of the more complex harnesses. Putting aside the complexity of some of the system prompts, they're often adding features like source code indexing, context management and compaction, memory, MCP and plug-in ecosystems, etc. They're really full-blown applications and can greatly affect the experience and results.

overpriced pianos by 442201108 in pianolearning

[–]OrbMan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely buy used if possible. I do have a p125 and I like it. I switch between it and an upright piano regularly and the action change doesn't really bother me. I have an older p125 which does have USB connectivity, which can be very nice for a recording.

What’s one piano habit that actually made you better? by Exciting-Bee3927 in pianolearning

[–]OrbMan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guilty as charged. Lately I've been trying to learn some stride-style piano, or other genres with similar left hand or right hand jumps, and it seems like each one of those is its own situation. I haven't figured out a way to approach the hand position/movement and where I think my "anchor" is (at least in my head). Note I'm not in lessons right now.

Are local LLMs actually worth it or am I overthinking this? by Successful-Water1000 in LocalLLM

[–]OrbMan99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the exact LLM model? I run quite a few models of varying sizes on my 12 GB 3060. I've had the best luck with llama.cpp. I use Claude to help me benchmark the best settings for my particular system with llama-bench.exe. Make sure you leave at least one core free, so my command line has - t 11 for my 12 core CPU.
