New AI models trained on physics, not words, are driving scientific discovery in c/science@lemmy.world
[–] PennyRoyal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just guessing, but to the lay/-idiot, it seems that a model trained in physics and maths as opposed to language might do less hallucinating

Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works
[–] PennyRoyal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

I’m elbow deep in Fallout 4. I don’t think we need it described here at length, it’s very much Fallout, but great because of that. I’m enjoying the simple delights of romping about capping fools with a stubby lever rifle dressed in my nice shiny Vim-branded power armour

Using the word philanthropist for scum like that is a bit of a stretch

I’d not thought of that, but it may well be the truth if it

Fuck me, that’s dangerously close to us growing a spine

European Parliament bars lawmakers from using AI tools in c/technology@lemmy.world

Had me in the first half, “European parliament bans lawmakers from…” had me wondering what fresh hell this was heading into, before the “using AI tools” gave me back a shred of hope for the future

Ukrainian drone pilot found hidden Russian depot, realized it was filled with horses and cars in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

They generally seem to be pretty good an not killing the horses - if they see them being ridden, they buzz them to get them to buck the rider, then chase the rider down away from the horse

Carlisle cathedral wins best stained glass window vote in c/goodnewseveryone@piefed.social
[–] PennyRoyal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

It’s kind of private, but the stained glass in the chapel at Compton House is mind-blowing. It’s only a small chapel, but the level of detail is similar scale to the embossing on a 5p or whatever. It’s mental

Mac software suggestions (sh.itjust.works)
 

So, I’ve been trying to find a specific bit of Mac software for a while, and keep coming up blank (any site suggestions?). It’s a pretty common program, and I can find no end of the most recent windows versions, but if there is any for Mac they’re about 10 generations behind, and hardly seeded. I’ve trawled the megathread, to no avail. Any suggestions on where to look?

Barbarian Hermit - The Battle of Kompromat (2025) (open.spotify.com)
 

As is often the case with me, I don’t know what you’d really call this, but there are definite big fat sludgy doomy characteristics in there. This album is one of my favourites recently, and one of the ones I listen to in its entirety.

Gain staging question (sh.itjust.works)
 

So I have a weird thing going on with my pedal board. First, my signal chain - Guitar into Bogner Harlow (light compression, always on) -> 4 channel switcher -> TC Mimiq (splits signal)

SW Ch 1 - TC Nether sub octaver SW Ch 2 - DOD Carcosa fuzz SW Ch 3 -Digitech Bad Monkey SW Ch 4 - Joyo Ultimate Drive (OCD clone)

Mimiq L out -> modded Jet City 22w head -> passive attenuator -> old Laney 2x12” cab (dark as all hell, sounds awesome)

Mimiq R out -> reverb/delay/trem -> Laney Cub 10” 15w input (hemp cone, different valves, again sounds awesome, cleans up well)

I’ve spent a while balancing everything, getting the gains to all play nicely, except… the Ultimate Drive for some reason is really quiet through the Jet City. The Carcosa fuzz sounds brutal through both amps, but really drives the Jet City hard. I switch to the UD, and the volume of the Laney stays pretty high, but the Jet City shuts right up. I’ve fiddled every way I can think of, to no avail. The UD is a loud pedal, with huge amounts of volume and gain on tap, but it’s just not doing much for the JC amp. Any ideas?

Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition (www.nhm.ac.uk)
 

I’m very much looking forward to going to this again, past years have been jaw-dropping

Beast - Stormbringer (open.spotify.com)
 

Fuck knows if this counts as thrash, heavy metal, or death, but whatever it is, it absolutely rocks.

Truth be told, the vocals are a bit heavier than I generally lean towards, but the riffs are top notch. Anyone have any suggestions that sound like this, but with a bit more singing thrown in?

Their own kind of nonsense they call Doom-Wap, they make a quite pleasing racket. One of my favourite newly-discovered bands of late

Site for workshop/technical manuals? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Looking for a few workshop manuals, is there anywhere that generally has a good selection?

Recommend me a simple hub (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey all. I’ve been looking for a small, basic USB-C hub with pass through power. Like literally just 4 USB-C ports, a short cable and a USB-C power in. No extra nonsense, just a minimal way to connect an SSD, a monitor, and power to my deck, and charge a peripheral if necessary. It seems unreasonably hard to find! Any suggestions?
