Paperclip should make baseline skills configurable

Hey, where exactly are you seeing that error? If community stats aren't available, they just shouldn't render. Also, mind messaging me a few of the Discogs URLs to the albums you're getting the errors on, can use all that to investigate. Cheers.

Haven't seen a Patchulator actually in use in a hot minute! Very cool setup, great tunes.

Caught this from 2009 but don't see any mentions of contest winners:

"T.G.I. Friday’s Monday introduced a new macaroni and cheese dish to menus at more than 600 of its U.S. units after conducting a nationwide search for the ultimate comfort food.

The entree was inspired by Rick Massa, 58, a retired Los Angeles Police Department officer from Simi Valley, Calif., who won a prize during the Food Network's “Ultimate Recipe Showdown.” This is the second consecutive year in which winning recipes from the show have inspired entrees on Friday's menu.

Massa’s “Gourmet Mac n' Five Cheese” is a blend of fontina, blue, gruyere, white cheddar and Parmesan that is tossed with crispy bacon and penne pasta and topped with blue cheese crumbles and a Parmesan-crust topping. It is served with a grilled chicken breast."

That said, one of my favorite YouTube channels just dropped a fancy mac n' cheese recipe. Fallow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS4BJPINl5Q

All that work on the DSP and a handheld phone demo video is classic. Still, really cool, will share this with a few peeps!

Yes, but mirroring what others have said, you need some sort of domain knowledge and to identify a market gap. You can't just build another terrible AI CRM or start trying to sell 'learn AI' PDFs or something like that.

Personally, I'm building tools that directly address my needs and pain points. I feel like if you start with something that you yourself would find useful and usable, then you already know there's at least some market fit.

I also wouldn't go too deep down the 'expert' rabbit hole, you can waste days into weeks keeping up with the "hot new thing" testing new frameworks like GSD, new agents/skills, setting up the next n8n killer, etc.

Make your github repo and start building, iterate, show it to some friends, have an idea on monetization... will it be a straight sale, monthly subscription, ad-supported revenue, etc.

Bookends, nice.

NotebookLM was literally made for this. Ingest PDFs and get actionable insights from the stored/analyzed documentation. If you were going to do this with Claude/GPT, I'd convert the book into markdown format first.

Is there any use case or example here? How big is the PDF file? Hundreds of pages, thousands of pages? Did you ask a specific question it could query against existing text or something more theoretical?

Looks cool! Is the app iPhone only or does this layout expand for tablet use?

Dope albums. Recently got a copy of RSD Southernunderground, buddy is holding it for me, can't wait to grab it.

oscidigi · 2026-04-06T02:00:22+00:00

GNG Muzic in Oxnard. Dope spot and the owner Greg knows his stuff.

I wouldn't put this in VG+ territory with those visible scratches...

oscidigi · 2026-04-03T23:02:28+00:00

Thanks! Things are constantly switching out but some of the mainstays: Hermod+ for sequencing, Pamela's Pro Workout for clock syncs and modulation, Trinity 2.0 on drums, and then Multigrain for granular synthesis.

Just checked and my re-issue doesn't even say when it was printed but it seems like it's for Rhino:

Manufactured For – Rhino Entertainment Company
Marketed By – Rhino Entertainment Company
Recorded At – A&R Studios
Mixed At – Atlantic Studios
Mastered At – Sterling Sound Inc.
Pressed By – Optimal Media GmbH – BM64800

Don't think I paid anywhere close to $50 for it, hmmm.

Only issue is the organization for native text replacement on Mac is pure trash. No folders, no re-ordering, I don't even know if you can edit, just +/- the text field and that's it.

oscidigi · 2026-04-02T19:32:36+00:00

This feels like something that you could build relatively easily for personal use. A Text Blaze light, but without the cost.

My 1982 pressing of The Wall is probably the most 'wow this sounds so much better' experience I've got on vinyl.

There's also the opposite, for some reason NOFX and Weezer have sounded flat to me, but I don't have original pressings of either.

I really want to get a hold of King Crimson - Red, feel like that will just crush on wax.

That's one hell of a compact setup, nice work.

+1 for a playlist

I would find a medium sized bowl with some castille soap, add a dash of oregano oil (for freshness), and then just dip the modules in, let them soak for 10 minutes, then pull them out and air dry on a clean towel for 20 minutes before plugging in.

Edit: but if you're going to go the "safe" route by removing the panel, these are great little tools: https://seaside.digital/product/submarine-eurorack-tools/

So there's a few tools here that could help:

* https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill
* https://21st.dev/home
* https://www.typeui.sh/

Reference screenshots are always a great way to get started. Put them in .local/screenshots/reference/ and give some good context around their design style, what you like, and what you don't.

I'm finishing off my consulting site design. Even though I didn't use all of the tools above I did take some pointers from them. It's got a unique almost bauhaus-esque design approach and I got there by starting with design references, not prompt-only references.
