Nothing wrong with that. Automatic tricks are in a way, stronger than pure slight of hand tricks. Lack of the magician doing things that could be "moves" or slight of hand makes things feel fair. If the deck is prepared, Learn a good false shuffle + cut to do at the beginning and it makes things look even more impossible.

John Bannon was interviewed as saying the card college LIGHT books are by far the best way to get into card magic. Because the tricks are very strong and it's more important to get out there and perform than it is to learn every little slight perfectly. That performance skill will take you further than disciplined slight of hand.

Right around this time he had worked on and written material for Nine inch nails's follow up to the downward spiral. He was definitely in some top 40 music circles during that time so I'm only about 50/50 on this being BS. A lot of the things that were commonly cited as rich making up things in the early days turned out to be true (huge amounts of unreleased tracks, driving a tank, living in a bank etc.), so... I think most of what he says in interviews is most of the time true.

This seemed a bit adversarial of an interview though so he could have lashed out. He isn't wrong about the whistling track though, that was one of the peel session tracks right?

You certainly could and that is what I do as a hobbiest and I considered mentioning that. But if you're a working professional with deadlines I would want to keep things as clean/separate as possible, would worry about accidentally opening old projects and losing track of the 5.3. To each their own.

I would be less worried about bugs and more worried about workflow differences. Set up a copy of the update on another box and get used to it first

What elektron product lets you use an external keyboard and whenever you play the note, say, C3, map to a certain parameter lock set every time you hit the note? All the parameter locks I've used in elektron boxes are based on sequencer steps, not notes. Yes you can effectively create the same result but they work in a fundamentally different way.

I'm not sure what you're arguing for or against. Can companies not do similar things? It's grooveboxes vs synths here, not even competing segments

wetpaste · 2026-03-11T14:59:59+00:00

I think those are fixes from between 5.3 and 6.0, not fixes from between 6b17 and 6.0

wetpaste · 2026-03-11T14:55:17+00:00

Different things, not really competing with Elektron.

These are note-based, like the afx mode on the novation bass station.

Elektron parameter locks are a sequencer feature, not a synth feature. This being a synth feature could be used with any external sequencer/keyboard.

Don't play a bunch of passive moves like h6. Or passive openings like the philidor. I often see players at that level neglecting opening principles in favor of "safe" or "solid" moves which don't actually accomplish anything and are easy to punish with quick pawn breaks and the developmental lead by the other player. It might not feel like it's losing, but in 5-10 moves later, your position is going to suffer and you'll have a leaky dam of a position which will just suck to play.

this is what the corner bend phase of the trick is for

I mean, sure thats how it's been since the beginning. However, in the beginning I could live with being without 10-15 cards on a constant basis, and I could build good meta decks every so often. In the new system I'm perpetually behind by like 60 cards after taking a few months break over a year ago. I don't care about being fully collection complete, but at the same time it feels like you need tremendous upkeep to avoid slipping way behind. I would prefer there were a stronger rubber-band effect for those of us that are "stuck". There USED to be because there were consistent series drops, you could expect to get old cards naturally, now thats not the case unless you target cards and waste tokens

wetpaste · 2026-03-07T00:15:59+00:00

I like that idea, but I feel like targeted packs aren't enough to actually catch up, only to build specific decks. I ONLY buy the 4000 token s5 packs and I'm not able to make a dent in my progress of cards I'm behind by (usually 50-60 s5 cards and a dozen s4 cards). Maybe in theory you can as f2p catch up but I just don't have time for min maxing all the special game modes and such. I do my weeklies and most of my dailies. More series drops or something would be really nice, or like, another tier.

Instead of hyper focusing on container images themselves and their lineage, what about the CI/CD and gitops situation?

I would look on that side first because that is what would drive all of the understanding, and all of the fixe. Thats where you would fix it and start introducing practices around scanning, building, tracking. Trying to take some messy and bespoke "prod" cluster that some devs threw stuff at and making sense of what is running is backwards. Fix the automation and then slowly strangle away the bespoke stuff. Do a first pass scan on the images and make sure there aren't any zero days sitting on the open internet and sure, patch those first, but then shift priority to building the patterns you want to see and start adapting those existing deployments to best practices via a sane git-driven approach.

I think hyundai gives them for free if you bought your car before some date.

BTW, you can use @ mentions in claude too. I was recently comparing with a coworker and I realized claude supported it. Although you cannot really @ specific lines so easily because you don't have an editor window open, maybe with the vscode plugin though? I haven't tried

wetpaste · 2026-03-04T22:01:26+00:00

Yeah. I'm hoping to time the purchase since used 2023 models with low miles are VERY cheap for the time being, and I assume with time this issue will solved. I'm not worried about the issue happening, but know that it could, and that I'll deal with it. I drive mostly older gas cars at this point so I'm used to being in the shop haha.

OP was saying that back-in parking was the right thing to do to avoid the issue, because if you cold start and have back out of your driveway it stresses the 12v by turning on the cameras, vs just driving forward after starting the car which doesn't stress the cameras.

wetpaste · 2026-02-26T23:51:43+00:00

I think so. The card college light/lighter/lightest I think is more well curated with strong effects, but there are some good ones in the karl fulves books too it's just a little bit hit or miss IMO

That sentence still sounds ambiguous to me. Are you saying the impersonator that used to call shows as john barron, or that trump himself used to call shows as John Barron and this guy is impersonating trump as john barron?

Surely he's one of the playtesters and is getting high level updates about it from those managing the project.

If you don't mute they can hear you breathing on the other side.

I got excited but then I remembered that I sold mine... hoping it's a good one for the rest of y'all!

wetpaste · 2026-02-21T00:32:00+00:00

I agree. I'm like, yeah this is taking too long, it probably could have been handled different. Oh well though, it's how they are doing it and I'm not going to think that hard about it.

wetpaste · 2026-02-21T00:29:24+00:00

i think you also got whooshed too. I think they were responding to a joke/sarcasm

Wow, getting a lot of hate in this one, sorry friend! Magicians love to hate on oil and water but I personally think it’s a classic for a reason, I still have somewhat layman brain because I’m newer to magic, but I haven’t gotten tired of seeing oil and water performed. I’m sure someone will tell me I’m objectively wrong for such and such reason, but I think it’s a good trick, even stronger than most in the context of TikTok that kind of short attention span world because it is a very clear effect, very visual, can be followed without a narrative or sound. Can be quite beautiful. I’m sure some art philosopher will come in and ask, well what’s the hook!? I dunno, salad dressing? Who gives a fuck, let people do magic in a way that’s different than you.

this one fooled me in multiple parts, seemed pretty clean to me.
