Snippet: Last year, I was mixing a choir concert on a Yamaha CL5, I recorded it at a convention center. The entire building is networked, with a dedicated part of the network for Dante. The recording itself went perfectly fine. No dropouts, no obvious issues during the show. Later, at home, I was listening back to the multitrack recording and noticed something really strange: three times during the concert, a digital glitch o…

Bot probability: Low (5%)
Snippet: I took a job mixing an acoustic ballad with a lot of dynamic range and honestly I feel a bit out of my wheelhouse. I typically mix extremely compressed pop and hip-hop styles that are pretty squashed and predictable - but in this song, the verses are stripped with piano and vocal and then by the 2nd chorus, it gets pretty huge. Like 20-30+ live string tracks, bass, kick, guitars, and much more .. the whole 9. What’s …

Snippet: I only started this for fun, as an experiment to disprove trading but I got hooked when my strategies started making thousands on paper over a few weeks. I have now put 6 months into developing a bot and I am in over my head, as AI has allowed me to develop so much so quickly, and my apparent edge quickly disappeared. I build my own candles and have 6 months of ticks. I am spreadbetting 1 (I'm in the UK). I have my o…

Snippet: Hey guys, my brother wants to become an airline pilot. I’m an airline pilot myself albeit in the U.S. I recently got hired at my first regional. Couldn’t have done it without a mentor. My brother lives in Canada so I figured it would be a good idea to help him find someone that could offer him some guidance with flight training over there. We’ve done research together, but I think it would be easier to talk to someon…

Snippet: Before I go into this long essay: This is more technical than some might like but it also explains, from my perspective, how AI, MMO architecture, writing emulators for dearly-loved but still dead games, play or not play together.

Snippet: I'm currently really digging into the not-so-common data that SEC EDGAR filings provide and turn them into a structured API. From my own experience, it does provide really valuable information about the intrinsics of a company, but I would like to get some eyes on that to see if there is a broader interest in that level of detail.

Snippet: I've got Qwen3.8-Flash-next running on RTX 3090, Ryzen 9 3950X, a PCIe 3.0 motherboard, and 64GB DDR RAM from 2020. IQ4_XS weights, full kvarn5 context, vision on GPU, experts in host RAM, n-grams on disk. MTP works but actually slows decode down even with 80% draft acceptance, as expected since every rejected token eats into the host RAM bandwidth.
