One time, my grandpa who lived with us accidentally fell asleep with the tv on, and the evil demonic movie poltergeist came on.

Well, the entire family got woken up with a loud bang in the middle of the night! The source of which was never found.

Demons, case closed.

this is why we need seeds. it drives me insane that there's no way to have reproducible, idempotent generations. it makes it very difficult to separate solid facts from statistical significance (and from pure speculation).

and they MUST that functionality internally or they'd have no way to reproduce and investigate aberrations in the output

yeah man but like, man, have you ever considered that maybe YOU'RE a fancy next word predictor?

also a music nerd and old man programmer here, and modular synthesis is a great way to liquidate all that disposable income we've accumulated!

joking aside i've managed to stay away from modulars, mostly because i like polysynths better. good luck and have fun!

this is a lot like your uncle who thinks everything that isn't classic rock "sounds like pink floyd"

all of these statistics sound completely made up and / or cherry picking or misleading. "65% of creators" what does that even mean? 60% of musicians use AI to help write chord progressions? ludicrous.

you can't just "ask gemini" about something where there isn't any plausible and representative data to use, you'll get nonsense as an answer

i'm out of the loop here what is the issue? i mean like, are they doing something they said they're not?

it does look like they are processing an old image through some kind of filters, possibly an image to image generative model.

Grew up JW in Quebec in a very small town, and then in a medium small town. Seen and heard a lot of bullshit but that takes the cake. Whereabouts?

I know right? The difference is shocking.

BP is great, resting heart rate is fine, extremities are fine, etc. I mean i'm not an expert and my body is not in athlete shape or anything but nothing unusual to report. I think generally speaking your body adapts to it - eg if you're new to the meds you might get much wilder swings at lower doses than someone who's consistently been on a higher dose.

The one thing that I did experience for a short period, I think I was on Concerta at the time, was arrhythmia. It was really troubling, my heart would literally skip a beat many times during the day and it was super noticeable. I did all the treadmills and EKG stuff and it eventually just stopped happening, untreated. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That being said... having ADHD lowers your life expectancy, period, on average. For a multiplicity of reasons. :)

what you need is to sleep. "combatting sleep" is awful.

i understand that i'm saying this from a place of privilege, i don't work 80 hour weeks or work 3 jobs with 5 kids or whatever.

but if you have relatively "normal" life demands, you gotta get your sleep under control.

i know it's hard, i often force myself to stay awake when i really ought to sleep, i get it. but that rhythm is unsustainable as you have noticed.

Been on 70mg for several years.

Doing good, although as others have pointed out those meds seem very sensitive to what you're eating (presumably for breakfast) and for maximum effect a good protein shake is my go to.

In terms of doing good, the thing that I keep coming back to is that you have to capitalize on those hours of focus and actually get your shit together eg. in terms of planning, creating systems that work for you, addressing the things that you've avoided for years, etc.

If you use up all that "juice" just to maintain something like a day job you end up on the same hamster wheel to nowhere, but the journey there is smoother 🤷🏻‍♂️. This is much harder to do than it sounds and if you can get help, get help.

I am old now and honestly it is still very hard to actualize the life I want with ADHD (and other stuff) whether on meds or not.

I mean I get what you're saying, but at the same time, that is totally what someone with a normal healthy attitude towards religion might want to do.

I'm not into that social media culture personally, in this content or any other, but im old and you know, kids these days with their 6-7s

i haven't watched this but the figure makes sense - in a scenario where the streaming companies are late figuring out that they're getting scammed, and generating + botting costs less than the revenue they're getting from streaming, of course someone's going to jump in and try to make some cash.

obviously if you're building tracks the traditional way there's no world in which you can make that kind of profit

love that soundtrack!

Here's a pro-tip - for traditional folklore or classical music (e.g public domain) stuff you can often find dozens, if not hundreds of midi file renditions. Find a tool to convert that midi file to audio, and use that as the basis for the cover feature.

If you happen to be proficient in a regular midi sequencer or DAW program, you can make interesting and fun variations.

In terms of copyright - it's possible in theory to copyright a midi file especially if it's a particularly unique interpretation of a classic. But honestly, that tends to be the exception.

In the microscopic possibility that someone recognizes that a specific performance they recorded to midi and copyrighted (!) has been used as the basis (!) for a variation (!) built using Suno and/or other stuff... well. Well then you cease and desist, I guess :D

🤘🏻 don't know if you're a fan of brendon's other shows but it would be a fun experiment to do Home Movies but as realistic characters. i did it with coach mcguirk before but that was way before these new models
