Nvidia: For all RMA requests, our chatbots will be happy to help start the return process Also Nvidia:

I'm gonna be getting some good mileage out of this as a reaction image (taken from one of the ohmicide[s] images that load when the plugin first opens up)

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

I think this NVIDIA Enron thing might have slightly jokerfied me. I occasionally laugh and mutter "we are NOTHING like ENRON." It's so funny. Like NVIDIA genuinely does not seem to be like Enron! Right? Why did you mention Enron? Why are you trying to "dodge the Enron allegations"?

That's awesome dude, I love the internet and being old.

I've been making fake ad spots for friend's podcasts

“LLMs aren’t going away” statements are wishes, not predictions, that they’re trying to make happen. Treat them as advocacy for a specific future, not observations of inevitability

Severing my connection to orb, now cube is my scheming vizier

That huge amount of wind last week fucked up my allergies and now I’ve got a sinus infection, low grade fever etc. I haven’t been sick all year. If this turns into bronchitis I’m gonna cough about it so angrily. I hope I can get enough energy to drive to the pho place I go to when I feel like this

You can tell there is a schism in software because there are people who say "I will do everything in my power to avoid using XML. I will die before I touch it", and as a result all anyone has to do to make something harder to "reverse engineer" is just use XML.

"What if someone lies about not using AI though?" What if a piano drops on your head? What if a piano phases through the ceiling right now and kills you? What if 3 tachyons and a neutrino displace a neuron in your head and you mentally experience being crushed to death by a piano? Indeed. What if.

I don’t know what I enjoy most about baseball. The game itself, people talking about the game, or people talking about their suffering watching the game in a way that I can only describe as “absolutely catholic in nature”

Lovely to wake up to "Here is a PR to add an AI agent to your repository and no you cannot block this PR" today. Get me the fuck out of here dawg.

I wish my job would just offer me a severance package to not disparage them and I could move on with my life.

I've been asked several times by people at my job "why don't you leave?" and they keep looking at me bewildered when I say "there are no jobs and I can't apply for unemployment if I'm not fired". I am deeply unhappy and might even lose housing if I am fired, but it would be better than working there

I cannot express to anyone how free I am not giving a shit about what's going on in C++ standard land right now. Contracts? A mess. Does it affect me? nope! Will it affect me? Maybe a little but not directly. lol, lmao.

Not sure I get Trump's new vision for the White House

When I worked on machine learning in industry, literally every project we were asked to work on was motivated by a middle manager not wanting to devote thought or attention to their job. They were good at convincing themselves that they were asking for something different from that, but it was that

“Why doesn't anything work anymore? | Jason Rodriguez” https://rodriguezcommaj.com//blog/why-doesnt-anything-work-anymore/ > It just feels like no one gives a shit anymore, beyond a handful of independent devs and small shops. It’s wild.

(I have to make it an MP4 to upload, so I'll just keep using Gary) A friend was showing me his favorite brand of synthesizer today by video. I also wanted to test run two patches I designed, so this exists now.

I don't care if it's an accurate fact or not, but reading "every vertebrae in your body is conscious" is some real horror type shit.

You can say I’m insane, but 160BPM breakbeats on 80BPM stoner rock songs goes way too goddamn hard

you know, in the grand scheme of things, it's probably good we'll never get homeworld 3 what if they made it and it was bad that would be awful

Uttered a new sentence just now, and I’m posting it without context. “You can’t even hear the cheese” Thank you for your time.

Small update on Ableton reading wavpack files. Ableton supports it, Max 4 Live does not and I think this is why they say they don’t support it, and why wavpack export was removed at some point 🥲 If only I could fix it myself… 👀🥺

My coworkers are listening to drum and bass this week while we’re having an onsite. 🥰 Whether they like it or not. 🥰

Currently in a hell of my own making (trying to drag MIDI files from Finder into serum presets on one screen)

This whole section really.

Back in my day, EA bought things and dismantled them, not the other way around

Yeah sorry for the mix up, turns out we're not taking you off of the PIP, we're taking you off of *using* pip. Yeah. Yeah. We're making you use ez_install and the older .egg package format now. Hey don't shoot the messenger now. You know the tech industry ultimately runs off of human suffering.

yo i hate to do this but the family hit some tough times and long story short we're cant fully cover rent rn so if you need or know someone who needs music, sound design, mixing, mastering etc. I'LL DO IT. my rates are dirt cheap and i work quick, inquire in my dms pls dont be shy i don't bite

Me: Man, I wish ableton supported WavPack, it's truly roundtrip capable Me just now absentmindedly dragging a WavPack file into ableton and it playing without issue: WHAT. HUH??? Why isn't this documented anywhere???????

I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of reese bass sound design. Drums taken from a noisia splice pack. Reese is a custom patch I made for the UAD Opal Synthesizer, which I find charming for it's "on sale" price at about 30 dollars. (Trying to stay out of serum to make sure I know the basics)

Wrote my first Max for Live device the other night and then cleaned it up tonight. It's a wrapper device around @unplug.red's Pisstortion unplugin, which is quickly overtaking Magic Carpet as my favorite unplugin. You should go grab these plugins btw at vst.unplug.red 😌

I will keep reposting when these studies come out because the GPT fuckers haven't seen dementia up close like I have and I need you to fucking understand You need to give a shit. Your apathy NOW will rob you of everything later.

Will that mortal coil of his be yote this weekend or on silksong release day? Much to think about.
