It’s the latest error in a rather long line of errors, it’s not only this one

Any chance of open sourcing the model instructions for this? Do you feed it all the Phoenix/LiveView/Elixir docs, or have you written more specialised instructions?

I find Claude to have quite a bit of problems trying to navigate changesets + forms + streams in my codebase, just wondered if you had any tips of making it understand better :)

would be interesting to know what he dislikes so much about elixir!

Are you confusing mixing and mastering, maybe? I just said that I don't MIX to different targets. I create the best mix I can, checking phase to mono every step of the way, then I deliver my mix to a mastering engineer who will create a master for digital as well as a master for vinyl. The vinyl master will sometimes be more agressively summed to mono in the bass if we're dealing with too much information in that registry. My point is you don't have to mix to different formats if your mix is good. Good mastering engineers and lacquer cutters will sort the rest for you! Maybe we just misunderstood eachother?

I'm a good engineer. I've done tons of mixes for records released both digitally and on vinyl or even tape. I never create different mixes for the formats - but I work with great mastering engineers and cutters who will create different masters for each format.

I really enjoy the lift - it has helped my wrist. Only complaint I have is that you for some reason can't turn on smooth scroll on mac, only windows?

This has changed a lot for me as I’ve grown older. I used to have this really bad but it has faded slowly.

It classified me as "chimpanzee, bowtie" which gave me a good laugh, thanks.

We have the Mirra 2s at the office and I'll second this. Great chairs!

The refreshed OP-1 Field isn't that old. I tried it and thought it was a lot of fun, but still too expensive for me for what it does.

It might also sound much worse for a number of reasons that would prevent the proper cutting of the laquer master. I have my studio next door to a vinyl mastering studio and it is truly a fascinating craft. The cutter might have to narrow the stereo image to prevent the needle from jumping out of the groove. Often this is done by mono'ing the low end. The tool he uses will gradually mono the low end on a slope from i.e 150hz and down. This can lead to less low end especially if there are phasing issues that will cancel out signal when collapsing to mono. They will also high pass from 20-30hz and low pass (can't remember how low he went), and sometimes even de-ess the entire mix!

Also if the sides of the vinyl are too long, the sound quality will suffer badly.

And if they screw up the cut, it's a lot of $$$ for each laquer master and the diamond needle for cutting doesn't last many records either.

Thanks for this. I remember having this as a child, where the sound of walking down the stairs at home would be painful and almost threatening. It hasn't returned since then, thankfully.

DoD 1.3 is by far my most played game. Just a perfect fps in my opinion. Anzio and Avalanche were my favorite maps

Actually being able to zoom in font size when vw or vh is used. So it’s to help maintaining what the user wants while being able to scale font sizes with viewport size.
