Thank you for providing a perfect example of what OP is talking about.

Was lucky enough to come across this when it first released and the guy posted in the /R*s. I absolutely adore the album. I have a couple issues with it…the lyrics can be a bit repetitive and there’s a weak track somewhere in there that kills some of the momentum.

But it’s fantastic. The music is varied, the songwriting tight, the musicians are great (I seem to recall one of the members of The Mars Volta played on it) and that vocalist, daaaaaaaaamn. I believe he called it post-hardcore but sure, progrock fits. I’d never heard of “hardcore” except in an album title, but now I own several releases, due to this album.

Thank god , I was worried there was something I’d missed on cold brew coffee and I should be bleaching more things between runs

Interesting. First half is a lot more noise/metal than I expected, but it cleared up by the end.

Mowlgli, people. It was Right There!

And doesn’t actually believe germs cause disease. (https://www.youcanknowthings.com/germ-theory-2/ , but grab the quote from his book)

Who the heck would downvote this? It’s a decent album and fits the sub.

I wonder why they don’t mention all the incidents of people from other countries being put in detention/jail/gulag…

No, that’s quite literally the reason that Apple is so big. They successfully made MP3’s easy to get from CD, add to device and play. , I owned an early MP3 player, and ripping mp3s from CD and loading sucked compared to the first iPod/iTunes. Of course, over time it got better on the PC side, but it was trivial to teach somebody like your parents how to get their music on an iPod.

It’s why Slashdot still gets mocked for their iPod review. While there were other MP3 players that had more storage or battery life, the cohesiveness of iPod/iTunes was unmatched, and that’s why few remember the nomad but every one remembers the iPod

Thanks, much appreciated!

They’re major mortgage lenders. This would probably cause Great Recession 2, housing boogaloo

“reality in our areas is different than the reality in other areas,” Ours are the good ones.

Can you please share a simple prompt? I’ve heard of RAG, but was unaware how you could use it in this case. Is this something you can only do with a local LLM? Or can you plug this into GitHub copilot or the like?

Dammit. I loved Zahn over the past 30+ years and that’s a shame. I figured/expected better from him.

Look at UNH closer - it’s half what it was a month ago. +17.56 was because they just brought back an old CEO on friday. And Tesla is down $9 since close on Friday. The doge is a nice touch, though. LOL

Unsure what NOYB is, even after skimming this, but an interesting bit in there about how people wouldn’t have the right to be forgotten once the AI has been trained.

How the heck do you find this much music?!

He was telling a joke, apparently.

Weird he’s telling them to tank their stock. That said, also crazy what the stock has done since last April.

I thought the invisible hand was always right? This isn’t the government banning things, it’s its people and companies doing so. He also sounds like a lickspittle “I’ve been giving my marching orders”. Which part, where trump says “never say never”?.
