    and that's fine in some sense if you're honest about what you're doing. I have at least one guitar that I rarely play but I keep because I consider it a work of art and a collectib…

    Could mount a guitar pickup under the tines of a kalimba and get much the same effects.

    I'm actually struggling to imagine exactly what warrants a 100+ node cluster of ES?

    The only time I had this other than changing to SSD was when I got my first multi-core system, a Q6600 (confusingly labeled a Core 2 Quad). Had a great time with that machine.

    Gemini and it's tooling is absolute shit. The LLM itself is barely usable and needs so much supervision you might as well do the work yourself. Then couple that with an awful cli a…

    It's a dev workstation for me. Currently inside is an i7-9600 which I limit to 3.6ghz and a cheap 1050ti. The CPU is technically over the TDP limit of the case but with the frequen…

    I bought this case a couple of years ago after this article was linked here. I love it. It's beautifully engineered. Top quality. It sits at the corner of my desk proudly silent. I…

    Drivers and control panels for interfaces are also an issue on non macOs and windows platforms. I don't see hardware vendors changing that any time soon.

    > how do I...? Even this is still a problem, because it's unlikely they know even what question to ask. Or if a sensible question is asked it may be an XY problem, where what is re…

    Dare I say it but perhaps some sort of natural language input would be interesting here. If the software was primarily driven by a command list back-end, had a bunch of semi-preset…

    I understand the frustrations with the current DAW offerings. Many of them have a very long history in taking over where the analogue tape machine left off. Some have developed muc…

    Absolutely agree with you here. There's a huge divide between people who might play with this at home as a toy and those who would be able to work with professional musicians with …
