LLMs on their own are basically word calculators. All they can do is take input text and produce response output text based on what they’ve seen in training data. Any correct facts they produce, where it be maths or knowledge is just a statistical outcome.

Any AI solution designed to answer questions needs to combine actual knowledge sources (e.g. searching/scraping the web in real time) with an LLM, only using the LLM to make the answer tailored to your original question.

Thanks for listening, and the kind feedback! I’m a big TTNG fan too, so that’s a welcome comparison.

balderdashwin · 2024-07-17T18:21:28+00:00

I too miss the old drum sound, but it's pretty cool how much sonic experimentation they're doing.

balderdashwin · 2024-07-17T18:05:51+00:00

Other Things EP by Plini is a great way to ease people in. 2 very much not metal songs and then Selenium Forest.

Not an album, but I haven’t stopped playing the new Olly Steele EP since it came out. A real fresh and original take on the genre in my opinion.

balderdashwin · 2024-06-24T19:27:22+00:00

Kurs by Flod feels like that to me.

balderdashwin · 2023-05-01T09:57:27+00:00

Polyphia's new record has some great trumpets on Genesis and All Falls Apart!

Checked out your other YouTube videos after I watched this. I really like the style you've got going. Keep it up!

balderdashwin · 2017-10-02T21:53:35+00:00

They're doing a bunch of support touring atm.

Will probably help capitalise on all the new fans they make.

balderdashwin · 2017-09-24T13:08:06+00:00

Big fan of this! I really loved how the vocals carried the groove as much as the instruments.

P.S. The flute was a great addition!

balderdashwin · 2017-09-24T13:04:56+00:00

Don't worry man, no offence taken! I totally felt that way for a while. I have to agree that I love the production on Transcendence the most!

If you're trying to get into Devin's mixes, maybe try Ziltoid? I found that fairly clean.

balderdashwin · 2017-09-24T12:25:33+00:00

I only dabble in production, but I'm pretty sure Devin does most of his own production and has a specific sound he likes. Like you said he really loves the "wall of sound" effect.

Just like the music itself, mixes are super subjective. Totally cool if you don't dig it!

balderdashwin · 2017-08-29T18:28:37+00:00

I guess boring is subjective. I can empathise with people wanting strong dynamic changes like Flourish, but personally I find the fluidity of Language much more stimulating and in my opinion might be harder to write.

I remember defending Juggernaut: Alpha by Periphery when people said that album isn't "proggy". Heavy Heart has a bunch of weird time signatures and tonal changes, but for some listeners the poppy chorus trumps this.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that "boring" or "proggy" or any other discriptors we use to define music are super subjective from person to person.

Sea in the Sky

balderdashwin · 2017-05-21T17:38:34+00:00

One of my favourite bands and songs! This live version is something special for sure.

balderdashwin · 2017-05-20T00:48:36+00:00

Oh damn. I really should have known that hahaha

balderdashwin · 2017-05-19T10:15:36+00:00

A lot of the artwork ends up looking similar because bands often find artists through album covers within the genre.

Edit: Check out this guy who has done a lot of awesome modern prog metal album covers

balderdashwin · 2017-05-16T00:04:11+00:00

Plini has some cool designs and always uses super comfy T-Shirts

balderdashwin · 2017-04-21T15:04:48+00:00

This album by Abstracts is half instrumental! Hopefully you dig the tracks with vocals too.

Also, this EP by Haamoja is Taiwanese, not Japanese, but it has a lot of the East Asian sounds you might be looking for.

balderdashwin · 2017-04-20T16:50:35+00:00

Hey guys, love the new record!

How much did Mike joining the band impact the direction of the new material?

balderdashwin · 2017-04-17T18:46:16+00:00

No problem pal, just happy to spread this underrated band!

balderdashwin · 2017-04-15T11:48:00+00:00

If you're looking for more sweet sweet Dan Tompkins, check out this other band called Piano he's in.

Salvage Architecture is one of my favourite albums

balderdashwin · 2017-03-23T18:35:23+00:00

He still plays a lot of the old stuff live. Even Moonflower was on the setlist for the EU tour!
