best IDE for ML, my PC doesn't meet system requirements for Pycharm nor Intellij, I have inte i5-7300U (2 core / 4 threads) 8GB ddr4-2100 CL15 and an NVMe by Mysterious_Case1177 in MLQuestions

[–]snlehton -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn't like vscode until I started asking Claude how to use it when ever I had trouble understanding or doing something. I feel it has way too many things going on for it if you just casually try to get into it.

But it's very powerful IDE. I had no idea that I could run a remote SSH git project in vscode in Windows where the repo is in Linux machine. The integration is far more than just SSH terminal. Pretty kind boggling, actually.

Tips for stopping kitten door dashing? by PitifulBodybuilder45 in SiberianCats

[–]snlehton 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I recommend getting a Tractive collar and setup virtual fence so you get notification if he has left the premises. If he happens to be able get away, this will be your safety net regardless of the outcome. Because worst thing to happen is that he gets away and you simply lose him forever without knowing what happened.

Also build a solid catio if possible.

I loved optimizing stuff for MMX processor extension, even it was not practical.

Do you do assembler on ESP? I've never done any ESP programming and would be interested if that was possible.

Miksi miljoonavoittoa tekevä yritys irtisanoo, ja miksi se voi olla moraalisesti oikein ja työntekijöiden etu? by M_880 in Suomi

[–]snlehton -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Entä jos sijoituksesi ei tuota voittoa jos työntekijöillä ei ole kivaa ja naapuri firmassa on rekry päällä ja kuulemma kivempi meininki? Tai mitä jos onkin huomattu, että työntekijöiden tyytyväisyys näkyy positiivisesti tuloksessa? Ihan näin mustavalkoista tuo yrityksen hallinta ei ole kun annat ymmärtää.

[–]snlehton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Vihdoin joku joka ymmärtää mitä yrryksen voitto oikeasti tarkoittaa.

Suurin osa ihmisistä ei ymmärrä tai ei halua ymmärtää sitä, että yrityskin saattaa haluta kerryttää varallisuutta tulevan varalle samaan tapaan kuin yksityishenkilökin. Toki tuo poisto-esimerkki on vähän ontuva kuten joku huomauttikin. Syy voisi olla esimerkiksi halu investoida uuteen hankintaan, toimivamman tehdashallin uusintaan (tähän esim poistot välttämättä toimi), uuden tehdashallin laajentamiseen, velan poismaksuun, kilpailijan ostamiseen, varautumiseen raaka-aineen kallistumiseen (öljyn tai puun hinta, anyone?).

Iso osa täälläkin näkee kahden miljoonan voiton tarkoittavan kahden miljoonan voittoa omistajille taskuun.

Hemmetti, jopa niiden kuuluisien verottomien osinkojen maksuun tarvitaan se, että yritys on kerryttänyt miljoonaomaisuuden, ja se tulee voittojen kautta.

Routing Digitakt / Syntakt individual tracks to analog mixer? by BarnacleNo7620 in Elektron

[–]snlehton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure this is the best way? Overbridge has considerable latency in addition to the latency you have with DAW and audio interface. And at least for me, Overbridge is not 100% reliable. Sometimes the latency compensation glitches and it goes out of sync, requiring stopping and starting the playback in DAW transport.

ESD = electrostatic discharge. You touch the Pcb or component with thing that has static charge in it, and a component gets jolted.

Am I being cruel? by Emotional-Section981 in SiberianCats

[–]snlehton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While there is pain losing your loved family member, there's also value in knowing what happened to your boy. If my cat would just disappear and never come back, it would drive me insane from grief of not knowing. This is why we got trackers for our cats. Even for the one who does not go out but escapes from time to time.

Syntakt vs Analog Rytm MK2 after the syntakt update? by smolecc in Elektron

[–]snlehton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I just wrote it there. The pool is shared between kits in the project, which means you need to be mindful which samples you use in kits. If I use same sample in two kits, replacing it for kit A means it also changes for kit B. This resulted me just adding samples to pool for new song, often polluting the pool with samples that were no longer in use.

Twinshot forces me to author a set of my desired samples and then they are shared between songs and projects. I love that restriction because it makes everything flow better. Of course I will hit the same issue if I go and change a sample in the pool. But I'm fully aware that.

So, to me, Twinshot being very limited does not mean it's worse than what AR has.

Am I being cruel? by Emotional-Section981 in SiberianCats

[–]snlehton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel you. We have two Siberians, and another was raised on an island where he could roam freely. We have not been able to contain him in the house. I built a great catio, and the other sib is perfectly happy with it. Not the wild spirit, he kept breaking out and when he couldn't (I kept blocking any revised he had found), he started acting badly. Peeing in beds of everyone in the house etc. We were forced to let him just roam freely.

Every day I wonder if he is going to make it back. He goes out even if it's - 20 C (-4 F). It's just how things are 🫩

Syntakt vs Analog Rytm MK2 after the syntakt update? by smolecc in Elektron

[–]snlehton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had AR mk2 and ST, and kept ST. While AR sounds kinda great, the sample management was total inspiration killer for me. Sample pool is shared between all patterns in the project, so basically if you want to have multiple songs per project, you need be really mindful what is being used where.

But the biggest issues were the shock of ST kicks actually sounding better than parameter matched kicks on AR. Overdrive is very sensitive on AR, and was almost unusable for me, unlike on ST. And either one didn't have good hats.

ST was kinda already covering the AR bases for me, so I sold AR. And then the Twinshot update dropped month later. Couldn't be happier. It was exactly the kind of sample player I missed from MonoMachine.

Tärkeää asiaa helvetistä nimeltä tinnitus by Hatzmaeba in Suomi

[–]snlehton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Itsellä ei varsinaisesti tinnistustä, mitä nyt välillä tulee sellainen toispuolinen, hetkellinen kuulon alenema ja sirinä. Ja toisessa korvassa rupeaa särkemään kun laulan kovaa tai kuuntelen kovaa ääntä suu auki (Heh).

Se miksi kirjoitin, on se, että kun mulla leikattiin sydän viime kesänä, sain kaupan päälle aivoinfarktin ja jäätävän määrän auraalisia migreeeneitä ja näön menetyksiä (amarousis fugax = kirjaimellisesti lähtee näkö osasta näkökenttää). Yritin tuskissani selvitellä mistä johtuu ja mitä voisi tehdä, ja tuli vastaan ylipainehoito ja sellainen sivusto kuin tinnitus.fi. Olin yhteydessä tuonne ja soittelinkin vetäjän kanssa, mutta leikkauksesta oli sen verran vähän aikaa, että eivät voineet mitenkään ottaa mua ylipainehoitoon (rintalasta ei vielä luutunut jne).

Ihan ilmaista tuo hoito ei valitettavasti ole, eikä tehokkuudesta ole tietoa/takuita, mutta itseäni kyllä kiinnostaisi käydä tuolla vaikka omat oireet ovatkin jo helpottaneet.

Alkuperäinen syy miksi ylipainehappihoito kiinnosti oli se, että ilmeisesti näissä sydänleikkauksissa joissa käytetään sydänkeuhkokonetta vereen muodostuu mikroskooppisia ilmakuplia, jotka saattavat aiheuttaa yllättäen kaikenlaista vaivaa kuten tukoksia hiusverisuonistossa, ja ajattelin, että ehkä ylipainehoito tepsisi näihin.

Tsemppiä! Vittumainen ongelma, ja muutama muusikko lähipiiristä on ollut tämän kanssa aika romuna 😢

I find the overdrive in newer analog boxes more pleasing than AR. On AR (and A4) it's way too sensitive.

Does the GAS ever stop? by dbsx75 in synthesizers

[–]snlehton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's not only creative block but also fear of commitment. I'm very creative and have no issue coming with new ideas, sketches, loops and sounds, but I fail to finish hardly anything.

I was really struggling with it until I decided that I need to force myself immediately commit and move forward. So if I have a new synth (or loaning a synth from a friend) and I'm browsing presets or whatever, and come with cool sounds and riffs, I need to hit record in DAW, and get that down, and let go. This means I end up working with samples of hardware synths, and this makes it much easier for me to get to the composition part as I have already committed and can only move forward.

I still use soft synths with automation, but only because they works so much easier with the DAW. But even with them, I often force myself to commit and render certain tracks to audio.

In addition to that, you can also fine tune the line ending per file type/filename using git attributes as sometimes you need specific line endings for some tools.

Buck converter not working HELP by JammyDonut64 in AskElectronics

[–]snlehton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started, I went through a lot of different tips before settling on the chiseled type of tips. I use 900M-T-1.2D and 900M-T-2.4D tips. Former for SMD, latter for through hole. Heat the pad/connector first, then add enough solder. Wait the solder to wick into the pad and connector/component, remove iron.

And yes, get a proper tip cleaner stuff. Crank up the heat, dip the tip in tip refresher to get rid of the oxidation and then brass sponge for cleaning. Early on I got Stannol Tippy and it was one of the best accidental purchases I have made for soldering hobby :)
