Funny thing about Powershell is that it was controversial inside of MS when it was first created, and the inventor had to really push for it to make it into Windows. Everyone thought people wanted wizards for everything instead. There’s a great Corecursive episode about it. https://corecursive.com/building-powershell-with-jeffrey-snover/

I use it as a search engine but not as my only source. It’s really good at regurgitating the most relevant Stack Overflow answer I might find, which may or may not actually be applicable to my situation. As a rule I never copy paste code directly, I always rewrite it “in my own words”, even in cases where it’s basically the same. If the code it provides is more than 5 lines or so I can almost always think of a better way. I feel like I’d still be better off with a really solid reference manual though, and a recipe book. But they go out of date too fast these days.

Hmm this seems like a solution to an extremely specific problem that may have been created by using docker for things outside its wheelhouse. Why would I have docker automation that I only trust to do specific things?

What do you mean about the metal content in the microwave? Does the larger chamber make it somehow immune to arcing?

One thing I’ve found interesting with AI art is that it’s changed how I look at handmade art. It is similar in a way to appreciating a handmade piece of furniture or a machine compared to a mass produced commodity item. Art that I previously would have dismissed instantly sometimes makes me think for a second about the artist and how it was made, even when it lacks a professional level of quality. That said, I’ve also seen enough AI art that I can distinguish between garbage slop and something (at least a little) interesting made in Comfy UI. There’s always been a lot of low quality art out there, but I think the real issue is with people trying to pass off low effort generated slop as real art, rather than the gen-AI tech itself (environmental impact notwithstanding).

When I’m doing that I use a program called Transcribe! It has every feature you could want for this purpose, really. You can mark off the individual sections, measures (and beats if you want) and take notes, looping them at any speed you want (with pitch correction), and it even has a tone generator you can use to check your transcription. It’s $39 dollars and well worth it. One time I sent the author an email and they promptly responded with great answers to all my questions.

I do try to do it the old fashioned way first, though. I’ll pull the song into Reaper or something and just play along.
