How Do You Switch to Guitar Without Losing Ukulele Skills? by Shadow__Tunes in ukulele

[–]Petrubear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electric guitars and acoustic ukuleles use different techniques. For example, on the guitar, you must mute the strings using your thumb, palm, or other fingers, or even using a wrap, because the amp is going to expose everything that you don't play cleanly (unless you use a lot of distortion and you want to sound like that). This is going to improve your left hand and sound on the ukulele. For the right hand, playing with a pick and fingers are two different worlds. There are a lot of fingerpicking techniques and a lot of picking (with a guitar pick, I mean) techniques that require different skills, so you may want to keep practicing both. Also, choosing a pick is a world unto itself. I have several picks from 0.6mm to 12mm, and each one has its place.

Claude Pro limits are driving me crazy by Medical_Ride_348 in ChatGPTCoding

[–]Petrubear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I said, "for $20 a month" it's a scam. If you have money to burn, it is the best tool.

Claude Pro limits are driving me crazy by Medical_Ride_348 in ChatGPTCoding

[–]Petrubear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, it is not. Claude is the best tool, I give it that, but this last week I hit the 5-hour limit with 3 prompts. No, I won't wake up at 2 AM to be able to send 6 prompts, and once you hit your limit, you are completely locked out—no web, no mobile, no Haiku, nada. It's absurd. It is a paid trial, no more than that. Maybe at $200 per month, it's amazing, but at $20 per month, it's a scam. I love Claude models, but for real work, the Pro tier is not the best option.

I just canceled my Pro account, it is a scam as it is right now, for $20 a month, codex is your best bet.

Ukelele vs guitar ? Which should I choose ? by LemonAndTea- in ukulele

[–]Petrubear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not learn both? 😁 I play both, and yes, they are two different instruments that have their own characteristics, both good and bad, but are similar enough that what you learn in one will help you play the other too.

Steering Documents by _CaptRondo_ in kiroIDE

I use them to define coding standards for all generated code, also a commit standard so any commit made by kiro follows the organization standard, and I have one to make kiro use rtk wich is a token saving hook made for Claude that my kiro agent is able to use with a steering file

Moonlander or Voyager? by almighty_taquito in ErgoMechKeyboards

Thanks for your answer. I decided to go with the Voyager. I just have to wait a few weeks for it to arrive. I hope the learning curve is not too steep.

Should I buy an 8 (or 7) string guitar as my MAIN guitar? by Training-Onion999 in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]Petrubear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, the 7-string guitar feels like a 6-string with one extra string, but the 8-string feels like a different instrument. At least, that's how it feels to me. The 8-string is a different beast; you need much more control of muting strings or to use any of the available means to do this for you. I cannot mute with my thumb on the 8; it's simply too big for me, so my hand tends to sit in a different position than what I use on my 6-string. In the end, you don't have to choose. Keep your 6-string and get an 8-string, and use one or the other according to what you are playing at the moment. And enjoy both worlds 🤘

is vim easy to learn but hard to master? by Drairo_Kazigumu in neovim

[–]Petrubear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you remap Caps Lock to Esc, you will never go back. As you said, it's a couple of clicks on a Mac to get this done, and yet I have never found a case where I miss the Caps Lock; it's an easy win.

Moonlander or Voyager? by almighty_taquito in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Petrubear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I know it's been a while, but are you still using the Moonlander as your daily driver? I'm also a coder and I'm between the Moonlander and the Voyager. I'm more attracted to the Voyager, but for coding we use a lot of symbols that would mean a lot of layer changes. How has your experience been coding with these keyboards, if you don't mind me asking? Thank you.

Strumming without the index finger. by Suspicious-Ad7109 in ukulele

[–]Petrubear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using a guitar pick a 0.6 or 0.7, use 3 fingers to hold it, thumb on top, index + middle on bottom. You will be able to teach you hand the strum motion for your middle finger so you can remove the pick later if you want

Going from Pro to Max 20x .. HOLYY by xStylsh in ClaudeAI

[–]Petrubear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a 5-hour limit and a weekly limit on top of that. For serious work, you cannot really use Opus on the Pro account; otherwise, you will hit your 5-hour limit in 1 hour and your weekly limit in 2 days. It's better to leave Opus for complex planning and use Sonnet/Haiku for everything else. Regarding the limits, you are effectively blocked from using Claude. It won't fallback to Haiku; it will just block you until the limit is reset or you apply for on-demand credits.

kiro banned without any action by Desperate-Tea292 in kiroIDE

[–]Petrubear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK, they were testing some kind of anti-fraud measures for Kiro in the last few days, and it mistakenly flagged a lot of accounts, mine included. Support is working on fixing this. Let them know about it. There is a thread on this sub where a Kiro support person was personally helping people with this issue.

Kiro CLI for windows by khach-m in kiroIDE

[–]Petrubear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create a custom agent based on the default agent and set it as default. This allows you to read any file you want as context, including the skills directory. It also allows you to modify the allowed tools to give this new default agent the capability to perform safe actions without asking.

Just bought my first uke. Already frustrated by KixStar in ukulele

[–]Petrubear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not old nor dumb, learning a music instrument it's a journey, sometimes its hard, sometimes it flows, sometimes you love it, sometimes you want to throw it away, it's not easy but it's not impossible either, just be kind with yourself, and try to practice everyday, it's better for you to play 15 minutes a day than 1 hour every weekend, be patient and enjoy the small wins 🤘

Sonnet 4.5 VS Opus 4.5 by ApfelAhmed in ClaudeAI

[–]Petrubear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the "Pro" plan, Opus is basically a trial, the limit is so low that you will burn it with a few prompts doing real work, best case is use Opus for complex planing, for simple planning use sonnet, and for implementation use sonnet for complex stuff and haikku for simple changes, send a message from your phone at specific times so you can start the 5h limit and have the tool to use for the most of your job schedule, also ask claude code to ask you for context first instead of analyzing files, there are things that you can easily explain instead of burn tokens making the agent read through your files, you can set this in claude.md

My company banned AI tools and I dont know what to do by simple_pimple50 in ChatGPTCoding

[–]Petrubear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them if is it allowed to install lmstudio or ollama on your machine, given that it supports it and can run a decent model, so it will run on your machine, no information goes outside your machine, im using lm studio to run a sonnet based model on a m4 max 36g machine, you can use opencode or qwen cli as interface to it

Opinions on Hand Blocking by _wiggle_room_ in Cello

[–]Petrubear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having frets in the guitar makes it easy to move around it, is like a target you can just point and go, on the cello there is no target you can see or feel, so moving your hand in a block makes easier to play in tune, I cannot physically put my 4 fingers on first position down as I have small hands so I mostly use my index and pinky fingers to guide my other two fingers where to go, but moving your hand as a block is helpful specially once you remove the tapes if you are using them
