Fwiw, on my m3 + max ram, I also was recording 1080p 30-ish minute obs videos for a while running large Ableton Live project playback + a facecam, and (while I don’t remember specs specifics) I didn’t find it to be unstable. I don’t do heavy video editing, so I’m not sure about the requirements, but for obs in 1080, it felt fine for me. I think I also exported some edited 4k footage at one point though, and I seem to remember rendering that one took a solid amount of time, so if you think you might move to 4k, pro might be more appropriate.

But I remember having specs reservations when getting my air, and I have not regretted it at all. Especially when I see my friends lug around their monster of a laptop. Those pro machines are thicc

FYI graphene does still rely on the Google updates:

I thought for sure they’d say that it’s time to retire

This reminds me of the time when I accidentally walked to the Kawasaki Daishi Prayer Hall for Safe Driving, and attended a ceremony for… blessing your… car… I stood by an empty parking space.

Oshit TIL I only spent money on my album because I’m a dumbass. If I were smart and produced it for free, I could have a whole $10 of net Spotify revenue.

This is something I definitely needed to know about

Two. Depending on the situation, maybe two shots, two coffees, two decafs, or two hours.

But definitely not after 2pm. I need to sleep later.

fwiw I don’t think 4-6 shots is too far out of the norm if not daily. Double-shots are not uncommon, and 2-3 of those on occasion seems rather reasonable. I just would hope you drink a good amount of water the rest of the day. Now if you mean that you downing 6 double-shots… are you Dan Campbell?

I’d probably agree with them 😂 . This is a cool video thanks for linking!

I mean, that very well could be so! After all, I’ve only lived during my timeline, so recency bias probably does make changes seem more dramatic 😂 . But I do feel like computer usage has created a pretty significant change in how music is composed and produced compared to prior technology, and a lot of those innovations are relatively recent.

? I mean I’m not disagreeing with you. Each of these step changes increased the usage of technology dramatically. I’m not really naming dubstep as the instigator as much as much as I’m just using that to describe the general point in time where I felt like computers became more prevalent as the defacto composition tool. I feel like this is around the time where computer music has really evolved in usage in all genres. For example, the amount of computers in new orchestral scores right now is wild. Of course it was used long before this, but there’s a big difference between usage in specific genres and/or to make music stand out, and it being a part of the general palette for every genre.

I would say no.

Honestly, since directly after the dubstep craze era, there has been suuuuuuch good music, because I feel like that’s when electronics became much more mainstream for ALL musicians to play with. Prior and during that time, I think a lot of electronic music was about experimenting with sounds. But during that era I think was when everyday musicians got comfortable with the soundscapes, and started incorporating all their other music knowledge and to make more varied, complex, and interesting stuff.

The problem is just finding the good music, since it can be so quick for anyone to produce and distribute it. There’s just way too much.

I don’t ever use a dishwasher, so I have no idea what works in those things 😂

Fwiw, this was also on HN yesterday. Never tried it myself, though:

^ fwiw, I have one of these, prefer lighter roasts, and prefer the taste of paper filters. So checks out I guess. I do like the fabric filter, though.

I use something similar that I bought in Taiwan as a backup to paper filters, since I am often traveling and can’t always find v60-style filters. Some thoughts:

• It can be annoying to clean
• When I want more than a rinse, I wash it extra by boiling it in tea; that seems to work well.
• It does have a bit of a different flavor compared to paper. As a light-roast drinker who grinds with a Timemore C3, I prefer paper for taste. In the James Hoffman vid other people linked, he describes it as “extra richness and body” for light roasts, but I kinda describe it more as “clouding some of the bite and clarity”. It’s definitely still quite good, and I still prefer the cloth over French press.
• I do find it quite convenient for my use as a backup to paper filters in my “ultra-portable” setup.

Pictured here with small *PAT Tetradrip. A proper v60 is 100% better taste than the Tetradrip; but it’s a really convenient foldy-size.

Whoa those space ones are really cool!

It’s like you’re building headphone chimeras. I didn’t realize you could just buy brand parts like that!

So I’ve been trying to learn Spanish and Chinese recently, and as a programmer, I’ve also been making a few tools to help me with it! Right now, the first works, and the second is…. well it kinda works, but it’s more in-progress

1. Emoji Flashcards - http://flashcards.bpev.me

Generates Emoji-Audio-Text flashcards with audio in a bunch of languages (meant to be used with Anki). The idea is that it’s better to avoid using your native tongue when learning a language, so use common visual images (Also, please help fix my translations 😂)! But my friend just vetted the Japanese deck, and I’ve been updating the Mexican Spanish deck as I go, so maybe those ones are pretty okay right now.

2. Multireader - https://github.com/bpevs/multireader

For reading e-books with select-to-translate, so I can read a book in another language, and highlight when I don’t know a word. I want to make it create flashcards from the words I highlight.
