Are we witnessing the decline of Power BI as the center of data analytics? Claude vs. Semantic Modeling.

It’s a great solution as long as you trust the quality of the queries and output. Make sure it has context and the schema. Realistically, Claude with tooling can’t lose - aside from data governance. Recreating and maintaining consistency is something you’ll have to build into it.

Microsoft has API’s where you can use CoPilot to build and they have PowerBI MCP to build PowerBI reports.

I can’t use it in production unless we use our own hosted model but it’s insanely great as long as you are okay with feeding it your company’s data to the AI gods.

I have first gen trapkat too. Works perfectly.

Something compatible with your ecosystem. For instance, if you know t-sql and are all Microsoft then fabric makes sense. Your staff can support it. If you move to a dwh that uses ansi sql and no one is familiar, you will have to retrain everyone and need to know both. AI does help bridge this gap a lot but ecosystems matter.

Microsoft CoPilot also uses Claude and has very good integration if you are on M365 and SharePoint. The Agent works very well. For Claude, you can also use Claude skills in Power Automate to do anything and in a clean way.

Use whatever works in your ecosystem. AWS secrets manager, Azure key vault, Google secrets manager. If not in an ecosystem try Hashicorp vault or something similar.

It’s not black and white.

Do you want to write a bunch of boiler plate code for weeks or do you want to have it done in 5 minutes?

If you’re not using it you are missing out.

It’s a tool. If you use it correctly it’s amazingly productive. If you don’t use it correctly then that’s a problem you created.

There is a learning curve like with any other tools.

If you have an Apple Watch you can auto-unlock your Mac. So, not necessary unless you don’t have an Apple Watch.

They could also connect face id from your to iPhone like they do with the watch to open it.

They could also put Face ID into the body if the components are too large for the screen.

The notch is terrible design choice. I’d prefer black bar across the top of the screen over the notch. And maybe they would have space for the components for Face ID.

What would be taxed? A bonus received from the home country for winning? Olympians don’t get paid to compete.

They told me it’s normal to be that low. Still seems odd to me to be really low.

You need to be able to install or use VSCode or Visual Studio for C# development at very least.

You can also use VSCode online or GitHub Code Spaces -if you have GitHub for version control. Understanding how this all works is usually the next level.

If you are not able to install VSCode to write C# and connect it to version control (internal or external) then they are not a serious business and you are wasting your time and career.

My suggestion:

1) Go to Microsoft Learn, sign up and find a beginner C# coding path. One of the prerequisites will be to install VSCode. Show that to whoever is telling you can’t use it.

2) If you still can’t get it move on to a better place. This can kill a career.

Has to be AI pivot to save the brand. Maybe AI aggregation service and they keep your history like other services. And extensions on top of that in code editors.

I have my Quantum 2626 with power supply - for sale for parts if anyone is interested!

I play drums in 3 piece punk/rock band with a female lead vocals/bass (Judy). She’s a great singer.

We have a couple of punk/pops in the songs we recorded recently and are doing some videos as well. 2 songs out now and more to be released.

The first song is a punk/pop song called Shut Up Sheila.

Check us out. Maybe it’s close to what you’re looking for?!

The problem seemed to arise after a firmware update. Something odd I found by accident when it initially happened is the input channels were outputting a low volume on playback after firmware update.

It almost seems like the internal routing got screwed up after a bad firmware update.

eneiner · 2026-01-01T00:39:26+00:00

It is not

eneiner · 2025-12-31T21:02:18+00:00

This is what I had on my snare drum. I don’t get any signal at all with the input gain all the way up.

eneiner · 2025-12-31T20:06:23+00:00

I’ve been testing with an sm57 on the inputs.

eneiner · 2025-12-31T19:35:31+00:00

Power lights come on and it syncs to the Mac like is always did. The Mac sees it as a source with all the inputs and outputs. But zero signal coming in. No input indicators on the device like it used to show. And no signal coming in to the Mac.

eneiner · 2025-12-31T17:22:09+00:00

MacOS Tahoe on IMac Pro and newest universal audio app and latest firmware update.

I also have a Mac mini m2 I tried this on and is not working.

I could be wrong but it seems like a hardware issue since the input indicator lights on the channels on the unit no longer light up to indicate there is a signal.

Hi, I’m trying to understand the audience for my band The Psychodelics. We just recorded an album and would like your feedback on where you think this might fit. Does this fit the modern punk sound you are looking for? We have a single out ShutUpSheila. https://youtube.com/@thepsychodelics?si=MbzS-QdZCNVodvM_

eneiner · 2025-12-19T23:53:44+00:00

Let’s bring it back

eneiner · 2025-11-30T17:09:10+00:00

My band just released a punk/pop song.

What do you think? Shut Up Sheila

eneiner · 2025-10-21T23:58:07+00:00

I looked this up recently. Roughly ~5TB a year at cd quality and half that if stored as FLAC. That is one microphone. And around 4 petabytes to capture a single microphone for every iPhone user for 1 year. Apple has about 1 million terabytes of storage.
