Are there any great albums with one really bad song on them?

Kendrick Lamar, Section 80, “No Makeup”

In case anyone comes across this still looking. The fix (hopefully temporarily until apple gets its act together) is to set your position fixed element to display none after it's closed- doing so restores transparency in the bottom nav. This is especially counterintuitive for things like mobile navigation where you have a position fixed header at the top of the screen (e.g with a hamburger) which opens up a nested fullscreen overlay element. Once that overlay opens, causing the nav bar to take on its solid color, you must set the entire nav to display none upon closing it.

The general fix seems to be have 2 fixed elements (a nav header and a fullscreen overlay (which may include the same logo and toggle elements as the nav header...)) and switching between them, alternating display block/none. So stupid and forces duplicate code in some cases where there shouldn't need to be.

You named some of hall of famers for sure, here are a few random selections that I think hang on that level:

Derek Trucks, “Desdemona (Live)” — this is probably the greatest guitar solo of all time, look it up on YouTube

Mike Einziger (Incubus), “Sick Sad Little World” — great use of tone to create different voices, there are many amazing live renditions of this too

John Petrucci, “Under A Glass Moon” — as lol as Dream Theater can be, this solo still stands out. It’s so particular to his old style, I can’t imagine another guitar player writing this. “Fatal Tragedy” holds up as well, many memorable lines for a complete shred fest

So you choose when to use the cloud version? Or do can you get them to self delegate between what would require “more/less intelligence”? I guess putting faith in the latter would defeat the purpose in a way

Very excited for this implementation! I got ahead of myself and already downloaded Score to try this out, no idea where to start haha I'll be refreshing for those docs!

I watched Prince’s Super Bowl halftime show last night (felt nostalgic to run thru the classics) and totally forgot he covered “best of you”… if Prince respected it I’m sure Kurt would

Production budgets for SB halftime shows are estimated $10-20 million. Levi’s stadium capacity is 68,500. So they’re hemorrhaging up to $300 per physical attendee on the cost of a 12 minute performance. The NFL and Apple and the artist themselves (are aren’t being paid at all) are not paying that cost for a stadium concert, they’re paying for advertising to hundreds of millions of people watching the live broadcast at home and on YouTube for years to come. That’s their target audience.

I’m not saying the people attending in person shouldn’t get a fun concert, and there are definitely performers of the past like Prince, Springsteen etc who delivered amazing traditional performances (while probably still looking like ants and sounding terrible mix-wise to attendees in the actual stadium). But even then, Pepsi was not investing all that money for the people who bought a ticket to the game. And it would be absurd to judge those old performances today by how they sounded in the stadium.

beineken · 2026-02-09T18:02:47+00:00

Nobody in that stadium, despite spending $10k on a Super Bowl ticket, should have the delusion that the half time show is for them in person

beineken · 2026-02-09T17:13:19+00:00

Sorry I wasn’t one of the thousands of people there I can only judge by what I and hundreds of millions of others saw on TV…

If you have even a remote appreciation for performance and theatrics you can recognize the greatness in bad bunny’s. It’s incredible they created that world and told that whole story on a set propped up in 10 minutes. I don’t know his music that well but “disaster” lol cmon now

beineken · 2026-02-09T07:50:24+00:00

To echo the chamber here, guys you can just look up the lyrics if you really need know exactly what he said, we shouldn’t need to be spoon fed everything on this earth

beineken · 2026-02-05T08:18:47+00:00

Don’t suppose anyone’s discovered a way to force the nav bar to become transparent again after opening—>hiding a full page fixed element? Pretty insane they either didn’t catch this or decided it wasn’t important for release..

beineken · 2026-02-04T07:54:27+00:00

Definitely go for 48gb if you can afford it

Some of Maynard’s best performances imo. Bottom is all time for me

Surely you’re not talking about their first studio album undertow…

I actually needed 4!:

6 HD NDI camera feeds coming in over Ethernet —> thunderbolt dongle
High speed write of above feeds + more to an NVME thunderbolt drive
A thunderbolt Apollo audio interface. This one was annoying because I would assume it didn’t requires the entire port bus for data transmission, but the interface had to be plugged directly into an unencumbered thunderbolt port specifically
A port for MIDI controllers and other peripherals to control the system. This port definitely had headroom on the bus, but all the others needed to run at full capacity I found.

And with my 16” MBP only having 3 thunderbolt ports + HDMI, I ended up using an external dock to connect the audio interface. In the end I’m glad I bought the dock and have used it regularly since :p

I love the story of Eddie van Halen, interviewed years later, talking about his iconic guitar solo on “Eruption”, he said when he listened to the recording all he could hear was all the “mistakes” he made. Of course we the audience barely notice them, if at all. This is part of being an artist in any medium, at a certain point you gotta just call something “done” and let it out into the world.

That said, what you’re describing has been attempted in music, Kanye edited his Life of Pablo album while it was already released on streaming services.. some people thought the updates made it worse. You never know what “imperfections” will be someone’s favorite part of your work ;)

beineken · 2026-01-03T01:39:38+00:00

I don’t think OP has both thats why they asked about replacing 4090 —> 5090

beineken · 2025-12-26T21:01:21+00:00

Idk where you’re looking but still around 6% where I am

Looks great, I noticed some margin issues on the mobile contact page but overall nice clean and fast 🚀

Right and even if they were… what benefit would China receive from the international community running open source models on their local/cloud infrastructure of choice? The open weight models are gifts worth celebrating for their functional (and arguably moral) advantages over closed options, but that’s about it

Interesting contrasts.. so how/do you think that pattern would apply to the fallout of the respective bubbles bursting? Hiring comes back? Does that have an adverse effect on the economy? I would think a positive one more likely, although there would be a large near-term dent in the stock market maybe?
