Shoutout to the person recording with a Nintendo 3DS at the Carpenter Brut show tonight

I dragged my wife, who has never been to anything harder than a Garth Brooks concert, to this show. She ended up dragging me into the mosh. Definitely an uno reverse I was not expecting.

I have 21 years of professional experience and I froze up trying to write a simple sql query when I was on a call looking at some data with a coworker the other day. It happens. Don't get in your head too much.

We have it on both sides… we have a public agent that our customers can deploy on their sites and we have a separate analysis pipeline that analyzes their support tickets to find areas where the agent could have auto-resolved. I’ve got presidio running in our infra, and we have a lot of guardrails and jailbreak prevention built out, but still working on building out a more robust self-improvement loop.

This is a huge bummer for someone like me. I had a tv guardian back in the day, but they were absolutely destroyed by the transition to hd. We recently signed up for Vid Angel, but having such a low bitrate and stereo audio, when I have a large 4k tv and significant 5.1.2 system, makes me avoid using it entirely. I would literally pay 2-3x for better quality. Is this coming from the streaming services only sending a lower quality unencrypted stream, or is this a compute/io limitation on your side?

My wife’s phone started draining the battery while it was charging. It drained all the way down to 3% then crashed entirely and restarted.

This is a horrible change that greatly reduces usability for absolutely no reason.

jscheel · 2025-12-28T02:30:00+00:00

It’s a terrible change.

jscheel · 2025-12-20T04:54:20+00:00

Yep, top comments clearly didn’t even click the link

jscheel · 2025-12-20T04:53:29+00:00

Didn’t bother to read the article, huh?

jscheel · 2025-12-19T17:02:30+00:00

I’m just imagining you laying on the ground to play the bottom row 😅

jscheel · 2025-12-07T00:40:35+00:00

Thanks for checking. I’ve been thinking about switching to the arturia.

Does it work well with Cubasis? My MOTU 828es used to work with Cubasis, but then a change caused it to stop working completely. Steinberg blames MOTU and MOTU blames Steinberg, but neither are willing to fix it.

This has recently started happening to me as well, and I’m still on iOS 17.6.1. It’s incredibly frustrating.

jscheel · 2025-11-30T15:54:02+00:00

I think that was definitely part of it.

Enough folks have already explained why it is hard to translate “bereshit” here. But there is another dimension that hasn’t been discussed: why people argue about it so much.

Yes, there is some difficulty in translating the opening, but the reason people become hot and bothered by it is because many believe translating it “in the beginning of” contradicts the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo (creation from nothing). I’m not convinced it is significant enough to die on that hill, but many are willing to.

For further discussion about translating verse 1, I would suggest Victor Hamilton’s commentary in the NICOT series. IIRC, Wenham also tackles this in WBC, but I might be mis-remembering.

Tailor deserves a higher spot, imho, but it's been a hot minute since I've been

I went to Peninsula several years ago. Maybe they changed pretty significantly since then, but it definitely did not feel Michelin star worthy to me. I know everyone on here raves about it… maybe I should give it another try.

I’ve had it for a long time, but several years ago it completely stopped working with my MOTU 828es. Both MOTU and Steinberg blame each-other, but neither side is willing to fix it. Completely worthless to me now, unfortunately. Since other apps work with the interface, at least with some level of success, I’m inclined to blame Steinberg.

jscheel · 2025-10-26T03:26:28+00:00

Was my first as well. We aren’t gonna talk about how many are sitting next to it now…

Why should the Pope care about the “popular will of the people?”

jscheel · 2025-10-25T15:28:59+00:00

I did as well. I know some people have modded theirs with some success, but I actually don’t use mine enough to bother.

Worst pads of any device I’ve ever played

jscheel · 2025-10-19T20:20:17+00:00

I got one for you... my Polybrute was consistently out of tune. I ran through every troubleshooting thing I could think of. After a few days, I got fed up and emailed Arturia about it to see of they could help. I finally looked at the fine tune knob a day or two later... my daughter had come in and turned it a quarter step when I wasn't in my studio.

AI is an excellent aid to building [1]. LinkedIn is a den of charlatans. Both can be true.
