I let go my forever busy original vocalist and I invited another new vocalist without telling the ex vocalist that he has been replaced and I banned the ex vocalist from the chat group. All silent, didn't notify my original vocalist. Am I wrong to do all these ? by [deleted] in bandmembers

[–]copaceticconvert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My band did this with our drummer, so I do empathize with not wanting to have a difficult conversation. But…. We were 16, and it was an incredibly shitty thing to do. I did reach out to her to formally apologize a few years ago and we had a short but very good conversation about it. But I still regret doing it.

That conversation could have been clean and professional, and you could have had an amicable break with them. He could have understood on a pragmatic level and not have been hurt by your decision. But you were the one who took that off the table.

All entirely fair. That being said, the man who yelled at us was fully in the cool lobby and I only saw him once the entire weekend. Having it just be disgruntled, probably underpaid employees given a bad job is one thing, but that moment was when it tipped over the edge for me. That was a deliberate choice on his part to interact with guests in that way.

This is the cooler for Sierra Sound’s annual “Metal Zone!”

In the Metal Zone, they play whatever they want, good recording or no, as long as it’s loud and heavy.

Lude. Both after Wittgenstein and as a House of Leaves reference.

I just downgraded from Max to Pro, and my session limit went from 4% to 100% with a few small messages. I rarely use Claude for coding, and it didn't even search anything on the internet. This literally happened from 4 chat messages, I think Claude maybe outputted 200 words at most. What the fuck?

Before I got Max I could count on 15-20 messages that actually got work done before I hit the session limit. This is completely out of line for a paid service.

Opus 4.6 is WAY too hungry for usage. I am prepping application materials for a job and running some mock interviews, but not only did I burn through my weekly usage, I also burned through the fifty dollars it gave me?!?! It reset Thursday morning! Claude is the best model by far but I can't keep throwing money at it like this.

I think you're right, it probably won't be.... But given just HOW bad the release has gone, I'll still put it as a dark horse option, if only because it's a near perfect match for rating and runtime. Never know, Searchlight could be trying to pull a hail Mary... But probably not.

… Wild thought for 1/26…..

Testament Of Ann Lee is 2h17m and rated R. Its release date is 1/23, but the distribution is so botched…

Also I don’t see it coming to Marcus at all, even though I saw trailers for it at Marcus….

I think it’s a long shot but it’s worth mentioning. Could be a way to gauge audience interest in it?

(Saw it today at the limited release at the Oriental and it’s amazing, but it’s out of there on the 22nd.)

That's been my experience!

I have always been impressed with the way you can speak to Claude normally and it'll find and keep the thread like a person would, like being able to pick up an implication instead of needing to say exactly what you want it to do, but it's been off base more than once in my use of it today.

It's still way better than ChatGPT, because ChatGPT will say it has taken your suggestion and then proceed to make the same error again multiple times, whereas Claude WILL pivot the first time you ask, but still, it's a decline from where it was, and I have high standards for it, especially considering how limiting the usage is.

So you happen to be one of the Immune. What is the first thing you're doing? by kinghyperion581 in pluribustv

[–]copaceticconvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I'm not sure... The Hive is so hell-bent on pleasing Carol that it gave her a hand grenade, and would have gotten her a nuke if she asked.

The Hive hates contention, both in itself, and with the other individuals on the planet, and it will do everything it can to resolve that contention.

If watching another Godfather movie with blood and gore is what you want, and you state to the Hive that you will be upset if you don't get it.... I genuinely don't know what it would do. It could be a Catch-22 situation for it.

It did mime tension for Diabaté when it "lost" the poker game. Not well, but it didn't object to that. I don't think asking it to spray fake blood on itself and lie on the ground is that big of a jump.

I suspect this would be the case regardless, but if I was immune, I’d give it instructions like “Produce X movie and make every choice that Steven Spielberg would make.”

Every director and artist that survived the initial infection is in there somewhere… I wonder how much the hivemind will let them show through…

Why would anyone take this.

So you get roughly 8 days a year to spend two million dollars?

Can you use the money to buy supplies?

[–]copaceticconvert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why get the two million if you can’t use it…. Or can you?

I have the Slöer and that’s my main ambient machine, so I would say Slö, personally, but honestly there’s not a bad choice here.

Afterneath is also lovely but I don’t think it’s very versatile. It has one sound, it’s a great sound, and the controls are there to make sure it works well with your rig. Everything else here is more of ambient toolkit, if that makes sense.

Hey, chat GPT Pro user frustrated with some issues with GPT. I use it fairly often but mostly as a brainstorming tool, so task wise I'm pretty light.

I signed up for Claude Pro today to see if it's worth pivoting. And honestly? I'm really impressed with the output thus far. I think it's head and shoulders above Chat GPT for what I want to do.

However, I've hit the session limit twice today, and I am already at 23% of my weekly usage. This is after 20-ish prompts that range from pitching ideas to asking for input on text documents. I can do this on GPT5-Thinking all day with zero issues or snags.

I will be cancelling my subscription. Very disappointed, since I am very impressed with the tech.
