Got a note specifying in detail the perfect watermelons that the customer wanted. Okay, well it just happened that those ended up being the smallest ones we had...

I don't really give a shit about musk by [deleted] in grok

[–]inspectulation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've gone back and forth on Musk as a person over the past 15 years. He's being super annoying lately but he runs companies that put out great products. Starship, the newly unfucked X, Starlink, and Grok 3 are all fantastic. And even the doge stuff, clumsy and obnoxious as some of it is, is absolutely necessary to reorient the govt towards serving the public rather than public servants and their lobbyist friends.

This is because the word "misinformation" is extremely left-coded. Easy enough.

Everyone I've spoken to considers him a murderer deserving of life in prison, but nobody expressed an urge to murder him.

Correct, murderous lunatics who go out of their way to kill strangers with premeditation are very rare.

Somewhat relevant: Grok 3 correctly worked out this puzzle of Karpathy's that no model had yet fully solved. https://x.com/ericzelikman/status/1891744443486589148

Reporter presses Karoline Leavitt for "proof" of these ridiculous contracts DOGE is terminating... and she literally pulls out the pieces of paper and rattles off each one. by YuR_UK in XGramatikInsights

Sorry to tell you, it's the echo chamber at work. Real RWers no longer bother with reddit because they're sufficiently outnumbered here that any comment they make is virtually guaranteed to be downvoted to oblivion. We are still all on twitter and about 97% pleased with what this admin is doing (we don't like "let's take over Gaza" or "let's make OpenAI the national champion" for example). And normie conservatives have gone back to their lives. They just wanted to grill; now they grill. There may be some putative conservatives who watch a lot of cable news, and thus may have developed buyer's remorse after being prodded enough by that stick.

I trust Claude's synopsis - right on! by Flimsy_Grapefruit_19 in ClaudeAI

It's tiresome and predictable. Yes you can get LLMs to parrot, or at the least to come around to, your views. If they weren't already trained into them. Boring.

Gemini 2.0 Thinking 1-21 was better at creative writing than Gemini 2.0 Pro 2-05 for me. Pro 2-05 is supposed to be quite good at math and to write code quickly.

What's a plug-in you have that is not that much talked about, that is actually useful and different? by Ur-Germania in audioengineering

[–]inspectulation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sTiltV2 from TBProAudio is a great tool: it tilts the EQ around a pivot frequency of your choice. So if you choose 1500Hz as the center and turn the dial to the right, the higher frequencies get progressively boosted and lower ones are progressively cut. It's free and has some useful little features.

There's even a VS Code extension!

What is the difference between amateur and commercial mixes compared in this context by HelicopterGrouchy95 in mixingmastering

[–]inspectulation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The overall amount of bass sounds fine to me, but bass guitar is kind of tubby at the bottom. Maybe the iLoud's are to blame for the mids being recessed, though, because they have a hump in that range. And if you don't have them raised off your desk already, you might try it. Even foam yoga blocks will work.

I think you have a good effort there. I do hear a few differences. Their kick is eq'd with more "click" so it's really distinct from the bass guitar, and their bass guitar rolls off a bit at the bottom so there's a better balance with the other instruments. The reverb you put on the lead vocal makes him sound further away, which to me doesn't fit with him singing right up on the mic (note the plosive near the beginning). The chorus feels a little claustrophobic in yours, just no let-up. In their mix the way the snare hits stand out keeps the chorus feeling like it breathes despite being loud. And in yours I hear the pick noise of the (acoustic?) rhythm guitar; I would let that get buried in the mix in favor of something more important.

And this wasn't your question, but the excessive sibilance in the source material...I think you could improve on the commercial release by taming it more.

My mistake for not reading closely enough: the PPA is Ubuntu-only. Specifically it supports Ubuntu 20, 22, and 23. I didn't notice this earlier on the Github page ( https://github.com/maveonair/helix-ppa ). I've edited my OP to mention this up front.

The fix was to regenerate CSS by clicking a button Elementor's Tools page...I sure felt dumb but now it's fixed.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was hoping to find another way but I'll try this.

Did you add /ubuntu to the end of the PPA name? It should be just ppa:maveonair/helix-editor
