If that's true, why use an AI agent when you can just crack a beer and code the old fashioned way?

Ah! I just opened up my Positron after updating and no longer have the `CMD + i` in-line Claude/LLM feature!! Made a comment on a GitHub issue, but also wonder if any other #rstats users were upset to see this removed! (Or is there a hidden switch I need to flip to see that) @posit.co

Just followed that. Is there a feed that rounds up everything with the #musicscience hashtag? I built one ages ago then missed some "breaking changes" update from bsky's end and it's clearly now broken.

Where are all the #musicscience people posting on here these days? Was at SMPC last week and think enough time has passed that I can get back into it without it distracting from having to do a bit of a career pivot.

Just voted for the new @musicperception.bsky.social board. Though I think most of the candidates will do good things for the society, I was a bit disappointed that so few of the bios listed what they would specifically DO during their term. Yes, great to be more inclusive, but how? C'mon now.

If someone you know buys into claims about "genetic optimization" of embryos using polygenic scores of cognition, just send them our 2024 paper on Beethoven & musicality. We wrote it to help communicate limits of individual-level genetic predictions & complexity of links between DNA & behaviour. 🧪👇

I think one of the the hardest things I've had to get used to with running freelance data consultancy the past year is to not just continually work throughout the day. I just can't context switch quickly and any attempt to do that always results in burnout.

I never worked with David Huron, but he had a tremendous impact on my life in the world of #musicscience. Wrote this for others in the music cognition community who want to share in his memory. davidjohnbaker.rbind.io/post/2025-06...

Setting up all the infrastructure to run your own business only makes it more apparent that business owners who complain about raising the minimum wage really just should not be in business. I would love to hire people to do work I don't want to do, but you know what, I can't afford that so I won't.

Great to see such an uptick in people finally joining bluesky. Wish I had more to say at the moment in the #musicscience space or anything else, especially with so many people now forming a critical mass.

Hello, Bluesky! I'm hoping to make the transition from X. It's a bit daunting to think of building a new community here, but it's time. In my next few posts I’ll share examples of content related to my interests: #SonicStrategy #MusicScience #SonicDiversity #SonicBranding #BehavioralScience

OK, I will try to set it up better this time so other people can actually fix it when it inevitably crashes. Part of me feel like we should just use @tuomaseerola.bsky.social's feed he set up for ICMPC or ESCOM, but I'm drawn to the custom nature of your own feed...

David John Baker @davidjohnbaker.bsky.social · 08/11/2024
think it would just be easier to make a totally new feed with that as the tag and eventually delete the other one. I had it running by just catching all music science related tags davidjohnbaker.rbind.io/posts/2023-0... Though if this is something you're interested in spearheading, please lmk

Thanks for putting this list together and I like the #musicskyance tag. Do you mind if I use that label to re-create a new custom feed for all things #musicscience? I made one about a year ago, let it go defunct after I tried to convince everyone to join bsky, and now have no idea how to fix it and>

Still looking for someone to help me with this dumb custom feed I set up a year or so ago. I patch worked it together, am not a web dev, and would be happy to pay someone to fix this issue at this point because it's such a headache. Any devs out there used to working with custom feeds, please dm me.

David John Baker @davidjohnbaker.bsky.social · 03/07/2024
No worries. I think the issue was that my domain went from google to squarespace then I had to reconfigure a few things. I've sorted out most of it, but now for some when i start the app via pm2 it errors within a few seconds of launching... im sure ill figure it out eventually.

David John Baker @davidjohnbaker.bsky.social · 02/07/2024
Just FYI, @tuomaseerola.bsky.social set up a #musicpsych feed in the meantime to watch things like ESCOM go by. I think the issue with the #musicscience feed had to do with my Google Domain being migrated over to Squarespace and I missed some key infrastructure changes. Help wanted if you could!

Apologies that the #musicscience feed is not running at the start of #ESCOM12, lost track of time and didn't realise it was this week. Will try to get it online ASAP, and def in place for #SMPC22. I think I sorted out most of this this morning, just waiting on one or two more things.

@luten.dev, if you have a moment- Did anything change on the way bsky feeds work? Just tried to update the #musicscience feed, works fine when I check it on my server, but when I try to publish, it fails (getting the error github.com/EddyLuten/tt... ) but not sure where to go from there?
