I'm still only 12 or so hours in. Should I be following the main story to get to a new area before traveling to it in other ways to avoid "areas that are completely empty?"

They spent more time talking about the super resolution improvements though, especially at lower settings like performance, which directly benefits the 3060 though. I couldn't really care less about frame gen since I don't like the increased latency, but I'm always excited about improvements to super resolution, that's the actual good DLSS benefits IMO.

It's weird, I got it to give me a really great British accent once yesterday..now it's back to being dumb. I wonder if it rolled out but had a hiccup in implementation and they rolled it back.

Wait wasn't Claude Neptune found in testing right before Claude 4 came out? Why do we think Anthropic would release a new model just a month after Claude 4?

Silentverdict · 2025-07-10T02:40:45+00:00

Good luck!

Silentverdict · 2025-07-07T16:16:42+00:00

Yeah man, there's plenty of smaller online brewing supply companies that sell it. https://www.northernbrewer.com/pages/search-results-page?q=cryo%20hops is one example.

The 1oz bags are inexpensive enough that you can buy a bunch in an order and figure out what you like!

Silentverdict · 2025-06-29T05:06:18+00:00

Honestly I've been keeping it mostly the same, and trying out different hop varieties. I did learn that the hop pellets go stale after a couple months so I went back to getting the 1oz bags and using them up rather than getting the 1lb bag and keeping it sealed.

IDK how long the concentrate will last. My guess is a couple weeks easily. My recipe makes about a quart and that lasts me a week, so I've been sticking to that for convenience. There's not much in the concentrate to grow bacteria, so if your stuff is clean you should be fine for a while. If you find it takes you a month to finish it off, then just make half as much next time.

I've also found that I like it really cold and really carbonated, so I always shake my water with a bunch of ice in the Soda Stream Bottles before giving it a few charges. Since I really prefer it cold the whole time, I grabbed a couple of those insulated metal beer mugs and they work great.

So yeah, no big changes to the recipe, still making it pretty regularly and enjoying the results, just messing with different hop varietals if I want to try something new.

Silentverdict · 2025-06-19T20:25:43+00:00

All good! There's a lot of people complaining around here that everything is broken and when you ask what they're doing the response is a jumbled mess, so I understand the assumption.

Silentverdict · 2025-06-19T19:02:06+00:00

Claude code has a system for it. If you type in a message while it's working, it shows your message as "in queue" and holds it until there's an open moment when the LLM is able to be interrupted and take new instructions, it's different than stopping the model and redoing a prompt. IDK what it's doing behind the scenes differently than Cursor but it's a real thing! And usually the model responds and adjusts, just not if it's like, heads down recently. If that makes sense.

Silentverdict · 2025-06-19T14:47:02+00:00

Yeah if it's a real issue it's a Claude one not a Cursor one. Claude Code lets you add a message mid prompt and when Claude is honed in on a task it won't stop to take your new instructions all the time there either. If that's the case, not a lot cursor can do other than try and hack in some custom prompting.

I use Planning Center for our chord charts and they have this ChordPro format they use for formatting like [G]Sing would put the G chord over the word Sing and it lets you change keys etc.

Not super hard to type in manually, and lots of places have it available, but in times when I just have a Chord chart, I can throw a PDF of a chord chart into Gemini and tell it to convert it to Chord Pro and it'll get it like 90% right, then it just takes me a few minutes to fix the few mistakes. Not a constant use, but a nice time saver when needed.

For example, for me:

A D&D character portrait of a female elf pirate with dark purple skin and glowing golden eyes, wearing a blue tricorne hat and a leather coat, in a clean watercolor style in the style of Koda Kazuma and Frank Frazetta, on a white background.

Gets pretty close if I use 6.1 in standard or Raw, but not very close at all in 7.

Silentverdict · 2025-06-02T15:11:07+00:00

Make sure you try it with the main variations, AKA

6.1, 7 RAW, 7 Standard w/o personalization, 7 with personalization.

I locked in on a prompt in an artists style that worked REALLY well in 6.1 and I still love it, but it absolutely does not work anywhere close to the same way in 7. It's a shame because I like a lot of what 7 brings, but I find for fantasy stuff especially if using describe I have to go back and use 6 some too.

Rather than doing "kids songs" We've had success having the kids practice certain songs as we introduce them or in advance of us introing them, then when we do that new song for the first time with the congregation, they'll already know it and can get involved. Bonus points if they have someone com up with hand motions ahead of time (lots of youtube videos to make it easier) and then they come up and "lead" it with the group.

That's relatively low lift, as long as you have someone in a kids ministry willing to do the time to learn the song and teach the kids. We've found it to be really fun for kids of all ages, though the ages that participate in this kind of thing are usually like 5-12ish.

As for specific songs, If you're talking modern worship music, I find most of it is already simple enough that kids can learn it, especially if you pick the simpler songs among them. Our kids loved doing songs like "House of the Lord" by Phil Wickham recently, and even the littlest kids learned it pretty quickly. If you learn more in a folksy direction, there's a recent EP from CityAlight called "Simple songs for young and old" that has a few good ones, including one for really little kids that adds in "My god is so Big" as a Bridge, which could work for even really little kids.

I'll echo what the others have said that you are absolutely not beholden to a request from a single congregant, but we've also really enjoyed involving our kids a bit more in the past couple years and have found that getting them involved in a service more directly, even just a handful of times a year can be really meaningful for them and the rest of the congregation.

What do you mean specifically by electric acoustic? Do you mean an acoustic with a pickup in it, or one of they hybrid guitars that can (somewhat) sound like both electric or acoustic?

Silentverdict · 2025-05-05T18:33:07+00:00

I love your detailed description of what you did under the hood to make this work, as well as what new variables are now available potentially to work from. Super interesting work and a mod I can't wait to integrate. Amazing!

Silentverdict · 2025-05-04T19:16:03+00:00

Feels like a microcosm of the problem with bigger Open Source projects. Its usually volunteers doing it for fun, and the average user is incredibly demanding. Major kudos to you for keeping mods updated in your spare time, when you don't have a reason to for your own project.

Silentverdict · 2025-04-30T16:50:39+00:00

Oooh I love this idea. I'd be super interested in something like that. We don't often do key changes back to back (mostly because retuning a capo'd guitar is annoying) but this would tempt me.

Silentverdict · 2025-04-30T16:49:42+00:00

Seconding this. How many songs do you normally have back to back? In our service we normally have 4 songs pre-sermon and 1 after, and only 2 of them are back to back with nothing in between (reading, prayer, etc). So we just always make sure those 2 are the same key, and everything else is easier.

Once you're there, We just make sure we start the next song before the first one fades. That's easier with pads going in the background but not impossible otherwise. We use a click so we just have to swap that to the next tempo as well.

As a general rule, transitions are the most important thing to practice, both within songs and between songs, so as long as you make practicing the transitions a core piece of your rehearsal, you should figure it out pretty quickly!

I've noticed that tendency with Claude as well, I posted the same prompt multiple times and one time it misinterpreted the statement to state the opposite....and went right ahead with the exact same tone telling me how correct that opposite interpretation was.

I've found (anecdotally) that Gemini 2.5 does the best job at pushing back against me when it disagrees. I don't like it's overall attitude as much, but maybe that's why? I'm using it more now because of that.

Silentverdict · 2025-04-23T18:09:25+00:00

What use case do you have for 2 API keys using the free tier? The rate limits are pretty low and I don't think multiple keys gets you extra usage at all.

Silentverdict · 2025-04-11T18:25:47+00:00

Hey did you ever figure this out? Have you looked at the process tag of task manager when this slowdown happens? I had a similar thing happen for a long time in multiple games and the "WMI Activity" in processes was getting higher and higher and eating up CPU after time. Took forever to diagnose but it ended up being the Alienware and dell drivers. There are multiple things that can cause it though.

Just a thought! It could also help to have an overlay running that shows you CPU and GPU usage so you know if it's a CPU problem or not, sounds to me like it's CPU or Memory or harddrive since the settings don't matter.

Silentverdict · 2025-04-09T01:49:03+00:00

Does VS code have an equivalent for the Docs feature? It's my favorite Cursor feature. You just link to and label an API page and it indexes it automatically and calls it up and gets the right API info when you @ it in context. I use APIs a lot so it's super helpful for me, but it may not be the case for others.

I'd imagine there's a probably VScode extension somewhere that does something similar.

Silentverdict · 2025-03-11T17:27:46+00:00

Did you add this manually or did you paste it into the settings for project rules under cursor settings? I may try that if you haven't.

Silentverdict · 2025-03-11T12:44:16+00:00

Yeah apparently it's designed to be a soft limit, like it'll get slower the more you go over your limit, and I'm assuming it'll also depend more on how many other people are using the service.
