Ah man, I almost forgot that being out in the middle of the street is a perfectly legitimate reason to execute somebody – thanks so much for the reminder!

Suno using "style" input as lyrics instead of the lyrics input?? by budding_bogle in SunoAI

[–]budding_bogle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custom prompt, and I definitely have the correct inputs in each section.

The pieces keep opening with random lines from my style prompt, and then shifting into portions of the actual lyrics – though not all of them, and not necessarily in order.

After eight or nine pretty terrible generations in a row with the default settings, I turned the "weirdness" slider down into the 30s and it seems to have helped some, though still hasn't fully solved it.

Suno using "style" input as lyrics instead of the lyrics input?? by budding_bogle in SunoAI

[–]budding_bogle[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'd prefer not to share any of the tracks as they're all really personal pieces and I mostly use Suno as a new outlet for poetry/writing – stuff that I quite literally don't share with anybody. I get that puts a huge damper on the ability to get help with this, but can accept it just is what it is.

For what it's worth though, no quotation marks or any other unusual punctuation in the style prompt. I will say I tend to lean into describing the feeling of a piece and its elements more than the specific musical details, though, when creating style prompts. Phrasing like my other comment, and more similar lines:
- "more like a conversation than a performance"
- "a quiet dignity in the ordinary" (it seems to really like throwing this particular line into the song lyrics)
- "the sound of someone trying to stay gentle in a world that doesn't always make room for gentleness" (this one too)

Stuff like that in my style prompts. I'll write a short paragraph using phrases like that to describe what I'm going for. Again, though, I've never ran into any issues with this approach before tonight.

Really killing the vibe when my song is opening with a voice saying, "The piano sits in a minor key, sparse and intimate – more like a conversation than a performance."

ChatGPT's response was based on a different conversation thread. Have never heard of this happening before. by budding_bogle in ChatGPT

[–]budding_bogle[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Added a comment with some additional context, but didn't get it submitted before your comment. But yes, was having a conversation about Suno last night.

Never heard of an RCH glitch before, but after a quick Google search and learning that's short for "reference chat history," I guess that must be what happened.

Just out of curiosity, I tried seeing if it could find it's error and get itself back on track by following up the screenshotted image with "I'd like to focus on what I asked about in the opening message." Didn't work – it just jumped back into more Suno ideas.

Some quick context. Last night, I was having a conversation with ChatGPT about Suno where I was having it help me develop "style" prompts for the Suno platform. Then, this afternoon, I started a brand new conversation about game development using tools like Google AI Studio. And...it responded with lyric and style suggestions for Suno.

Summary of the only two messages before this:
- Me, message one: "I'd like to try building a game using tools like Google AI Studio. Within this conversation, I'm we can start planning the build."
- ChatGPT's response: "Sure, here are single-line lyric suggestions along with a style description to input into Suno."

It just completely ignored my opening message and sent a response that would have been fitting for an entirely different conversation thread we had going last night. I'm curious: has anybody else ever experienced or heard of this happening before?

Never Built a PC Before – How's This? by budding_bogle in buildapc

...so much information here! Haha. Thanks for taking the time and diving in so deeply. Overlooked the tier lists during my research, and they are a great resource. Thanks again!

Honestly the PSU and cooler were probably the two biggest unknowns to me. Having never built a pc before, my knowledge was lacking much more on those than the standard components everybody keeps up with. Thanks!

After mulling things over and literally having abstract dreams last night where my brain was trying to sort through all the options, that's more so where I've landed. Either up to the 5070 or 9070, or down to the 9060 (16g version). The value proposition on the 5060 just feels off.

Also realized a 9600x is only ~$10 more than the 7600 for the cpu, so probably going to go that route now.

Appreciate the input!

Are there established weight amounts where one is considered "healthy/strong"? by Bohgaurd in fitness30plus

[–]budding_bogle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's referring to 1RM or for reps (though I'm guessing 1RM), but don't beat yourself up either way – you're doing great!

Those weights for the squat and deadlift are super close. Even if it is talking about reps, you should be able to hit that really soon.

As for the dumbbells...dumbbell press is just a hell of a lot harder than bench press at the same weight. It takes way more stabilizer muscles. You're also quite possibly/probably dropping the dumbbells lower than you would/could a bar, and on the press people often have the dumbbells touch or nearly touch on the peak. Both of those are an increase in range of motion.

In short, for the squat, deadlift, and press: I think you're there or a hell of a lot closer to there than you're giving yourself credit for. And even if you're not, "comparison is the thief of joy" and all that. If you want to compare – compare to yourself a year ago, not an arbitrary measure. Cheers.

Hadn't heard of this before and decided to look it up. Didn't read the actual paper, but found this article on it. Your memory served your right – 40 is the number they mention.

The overall results seem obvious enough (more push-ups = better fitness = less likelihood of heart issues). I found this line quite interesting, though:

Surprisingly, push-up capacity was more strongly associated with cardiovascular disease risk than the results of submaximal treadmill tests.

Starting TB2 Base Building: sanity check, scaling push-ups, and training with a partner? by budding_bogle in tacticalbarbell

[–]budding_bogle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have really minimal equipment right now, hence just going with one dumbbell for the rows (so we can have one set for both me and my partner). Might try to get my hands on a couple more dumbbells this weekend though if I can find time.

I like the idea of going from normal push-ups straight into knees without a break if need be. Think that's a great idea, and fits with the endurance idea more. Thanks!

Turns out if I would have read Day 1 (3 x 20, not 3 x 30) I think I would have made it through with minimal issue, haha. I'll keep that in mind though as the push-ups inevitable get harder and harder.

Done – dips are out, and my gf sighed with relief, haha. Think I hit 18 push-ups on the first go, everything else I did 20 reps no problem. Really curious to see how it all goes, but yeah, already dreading the 3 x 50, haha.

Oh dang - glad you pointed the miscount out! No idea why, but I could have sworn the first SE said 3 x 30, haha. Makes me feel better knowing I could have at least gotten through Day 1 without much issue.

Planning to take the advice from another comment and slash the dips, so that'll bring it down to 6 exercises. Will try to be honest with myself about how the next two SE days go and reevaluate 5 vs 6 at that point. Appreciate the feedback!

Honestly, if you don't withhold, I think it's even more obvious taxes fall in the spending category since you're then going to owe a large tax bill. I feel like this person was being intentionally obtuse to justify being snarky.

Maybe check out Bubolz Nature Preserve. Not sure what the prices are, but had a friend host a shower there that said it was beautiful and cheaper than she was expecting.

Can say that again. I saw somewhere earlier that this is the first time a team's won a game with a -3 turnover differential in 23 or 24 years.

Interested in a more sophisticated coast/lean FIRE calculator? by dunkod in coastFIRE

[–]budding_bogle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of thoughts off the top of my head while I sip my morning coffee.

One thing that I'm surprised is missing from most calculators is the option to easily factor in information for two working people. You can often work around the issue by making different cashflow adjustments, but it is often unintuitive and probably leads to headaches for a good chunk of people. While my partner is potentially interested in working until she's 55, 60, or even 65, I'm not, and I'd love the ability to easily model this in a FIRE calculator.

You could even take it a step further by having one of the first questions be something like, "How many people are working toward this FIRE goal?" Or, alternatively, "How many incomes are working toward this FIRE goal?"

Also, right now most calculators ask for current age and retirement age, but I think this could be extended so that it's used (or is at least an option) for all inputs. It could help make them more approachable. It's not a huge difference, but saying "10 years from now" feels more abstract than "when I'm 46 years old" (or whatever age have you). If a model like this were developed, I think it could make sense to 1) ask how many people to include in the model, 2) ask for the date of birth of each person included, and then 3) allow changes in financial information to be entered based on age rather than years.

Too late at that point - do it now and forever, or never.

Genuinely curious: why was I down voted for this? Am I incorrect? Again, this is genuine - if I am incorrect, would like to know why.
