Very cool! This reminds of an experiment[0] I made a while back for an alternative pattern composing interface based on the book 'The Geometry of Musical Rhythm: What Makes a "Good" Rhythm Good?' by Godfried Toussaint.

I'm not aware of a simple to use test site for this on IPv6 (I've got one for IPv4, but my server host doesn't do IPv6 either, and using a tunnel will limit the ranges I can test, etc)... so you'll need to test ye olde fashioned way.

I don't have a mac, but if the man page[1] is right, something like this should work to see how big of a packet you can successfully send and receive:

ping -6 -D -G 1500 -g 1400 fly.io

(you may need to run as root to set packet sizes). You should get back a list of replies with say 1408 bytes, then 1409, etc. The last number you get back is effectively the largest IPv6 payload you can receive (on this path, it could be different for other paths), and if you add the IPv6 header length of 40, that's your effective path MTU.

Use tcpdump to see what TCP MSS is being sent on your outgoing SYN packets, for IPv4, the MSS is MTU - 40 (20 for IPV4 header, 20 for TCP header), for IPv6, the MSS should be MTU - 60 (40 for IPv6 header, 20 for TCP header). If your TCP MSS is higher than the observed path MTU to fly.io, that's likely the immediate cause of your problem.

If you're using a router, make sure it knows the proper MTU for the IPv6 connection, and enable MSS clamping on IPv6, if possible --- or make sure the router advertisement daemon shares the correct MTU.

Hope this gets you started.

Flatpak vs. Firejail vs. VM
Hi all,
I am a long follower of Hacker News and finally this is my first question. Just setting up a new laptop and I do want to isolate my webbrowser from the rest of the system. I used firejail for this task, but have read some points against it (Executed as root?). Flatpak has its own sandbox and might be better isolated. However I must trust different packagers and flatkill looks scary. The best isolation would be offered by a seperate VM, but this requires a shared folder setup and might be not as straightforward...
I am keen to hear more about your setups and how you accomplish this task.
Thanks!
That's why there is a documentary :)
In principle, fiscal policy (taxing, spending) can substitute with monetary policy to some extent, and achieve many of the same goals, yes! But you'd be hard-pressed to find an economist who describes either recent or proposed fiscal policies of the Biden administration as something that's great at being remarkably anti-inflationary. Student loan forgiveness, for instance — some may say it's a worthy policy, but it's definitely freeing up money to be used on other things, and that's something that increases price pressures. I'm not sure it's on the table.

There's other disadvantages in that the impact of fiscal policy is usually somewhat on the slow side, leaving a risk that your fiscal tightening hits as you enter the recession or your fiscal stimulus hits as the economy is already booming after the recession. So it's not quite that simple. Take the case of the Inflation Reduction Act, for instance; it purports to reduce inflation by "making a historic down payment on the deficit". Let's take this at face value just to limit any possibility for argument: maybe that'll help!!! but ... if you look closely, this is actually kind of spread out over the next ten years, while we have real inflation now. Does it have an impact? Maybe. Does it have an impact today? Probably not as strong as one would like.
The balance sheet shrunk from $8,874,620 million on August 3 to $8,822,401 million on September 7, a rate of about $50 billion per month or $600 billion per year. If continued, this rate of decrease would bring the balance sheet from $8.5 trillion down to $5.5 trillion by 2027, within range of the “optimal balance sheet” described in the Vanguard report.
> What logic is this? If you commit one crime, now forever you must prove your innocence? That's dumb.

You are typically not given an opportunity to prove your innocence, once you have a criminal record. If you apply for a job or apartment and fail the background check, it is usually kthxbye. This is unfortunate in many ways, but it is how the world works.
The trickery is not via RTP, it is by other means, which I better not share here, it is a common marketing strategy.
Rest assured, there is no tricks with rtp, but the tricks in use are morally not exactly better than that, the industry insiders im high enough positions know. And of course the streamers.
This argument is tiring. The massive unprecedented drop in unemployment was the result of loose monetary policy. In order to properly control the economy there is a certain level of unemployment (something like 6-8% iirc) that is expected at at any given time.

People aren't really "employed" (in a gainful sense) if the money printer keeps printing. Achieving the lowest possible unemployment results in rising inflation because the necessary availability of surplus capital to allow such a thing to happen.

At any rate, 0.75% won't work. The rate changes need to be more aggressive if the goal is to actually avoid a 2023/2024 catastrophe. It takes upwards of 10 years for inflation to cool off after the process of reducing it begins. We're in for a long ride.

It varies pretty widely. I don't think there is good macroeconomic theory for its correct value, or even if there is a correct value.

This is a fake. There has been no confirmation anywhere at this time.
The percentages add up. Are you certain that for every $100 in USDT they issue, they acquire another $2.94 in T-bills, $3.87 in cash, take out a secured loan for $12.55, and so on?

They could indeed have all of those percentages, in exactly that relationship, all combined worth... a million dollars. That would be far, far, far, far short of what it should be.
ChromeOS is a privacy nightmare I cannot recommend to anyone which is a real shame because it is perhaps the most secure consumer focused workstation operating system out there.

He's done fairly well at navigating the political landscape I would say that he's smart enough to know that if he does anything strongly before the election it will be scrutinized heavily as political thus he will wait until after the election if he deems it necessary to make more drastic measures.

Looking at the absolute dearth of volunteers for the slaughter, the support for invasion seems to be rather lukewarm.

Also, I read that doing polls in RU is now a challenge, because only a tiny minority of respondents won't hang up immediately when asked about something sensitive. So the numbers may be total garbage.

I don't doubt that there are a lot of avid supporters, but I doubt the 70 per cent figure.
The real issue is the manager churn. You may have a great manager for a year, then 3 more then next year who aren't great. You can work hard to burrow your way into a perfect spot, but because of churn the chances are high that your spot won't be there long and you'll start the process over. It's absolutely exhausting and ultimately one of the reasons I left AWS after 6 years.

>The definition of forgive is to no longer punish someone as you saw it fit to forgive what they did. If you still act differently towards that someone because of an act then you simply haven't forgiven them.

We fundamentally disagree on the definition of forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn't mean wiping clean your memory of the past. For example, I have a friend with a drug problem. This friend has on numerous occasions told lies and has otherwise been unreliable in other ways that drug addicts often are. I have forgiven this person for their transgressions and love them just as much as I love anyone else, and would lay down my life for them without hesitation. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to now simply accept their statements without doubt - I would be a fool to do so despite the fact that I have forgiven then completely for their previous lies and don't judge them, or look down on them, for the previous behavior. For better or worse, we are all the sum of our actions.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.

I would say Putin escalating a major war in the heart of Europe and his threats of nuclear warfare with the West fall under 'interesting new phenomenon'.

IMO, the JWST deep field is really impressive. There are something like 4x more galaxies in the background that just were invisible in Hubble due to redshift. JWST is heavily optimized for spectra, far away objects, and looking through gas clouds. For other stuff, you're probably better off using giant ground based telescopes.
Third straight hike and core CPI is going up at more than half a percentage point monthly.

CPI numbers, as reported, are very misleading. Nominally, it looks like its slowing down or plateauing (from 9% to 8.5%), but that's because the headlines always report the YoY number. The base effect is going to skew this towards a "inflation slowing down" narrative anyway.

The MoM figures are far more relevant and they're not looking good at all, especially since its now moving towards the sticky kind of inflation (services, rent).
Doesn't make it right, and that's not always true, anyway. Plenty of crimes can be expunged etc.. or aren't criminal acts.

They have a policy that XX% of engineers in a given department should* be given "Meets Most". If that's not stack ranking I'm not sure what would be.

BTW "meets most" likely doesn't sound too bad to non-Metamates. Internally it's a pretty bad mark on your record. It doesn't directly relate to being fired but a ton of people quit when they receive it. I view it as sort of a "pre-PIP" state.

Even a broken clock can get the time correct.

Happy to see an article or w/e from you in 2020 correctly predicting the actual inflation and when it was going to occur. Saying everytime the fed does something that it'll cause inflation and then waiting years to say "Ha told you so!" is not impressive and not even p-hacking since you don't even have a p variable.

Eh, if you listen to his podcast episode you'll see that's not quite what he's advocating. He's advocating for intentionality and to design your life with work as a part of it. For some people that could mean that doing a creative work project on a Saturday is the best way to do that.

His points are way more nuanced than "work on weekends". I think he mentions Laura's story as a case study in intentionality, not in "work life balance" etc

Repeating and adding to what turtlebits said:-

Longer lasting (in both calendar life and charge cycle count)

Safer - can tolerate higher temperature, does not catch fire if punctured (e.g. by a bullet)

Cheaper

Less toxic than 'legacy' lithium-ion (also known as NMC, nickel-manganese-cobalt, and NMCA, NMC + aluminum chemistries)

Slightly more tolerant of abuse (overcharging and overdischarging).

Less stored energy per pound/kilogram, by 20% - 30%, than 'legacy' Li-ion so perceived as less suitable for cars, although Tesla uses it in Model 3 except the long range version.

Big manufacturer: CATL, a Chinese firm, who bought the key patents 20-odd years ago. Patents expire this year.

LiFePO4 = lithium iron phosphate. Iron and phosphate are cheap and abundant compared to the nickel and cobalt used in 'legacy' lithium-ion batteries, and come with fewer "high horse" concerns (child labor, de-facto slavery in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's cobalt mines, environmental damage, nickel comes from Russia, etc.) (Fun fact: there's a lot more nickel in a 'lithium' battery than there is lithium.)

As well as Li, Fe, and PO4, LFP also uses carbon nanotubes apparently.

Nope not true at all. Every industry has shared information between corporations. The sciences are ripe for trustless data sets between antagonistic entities (see: nation states.)

Trustless doesn’t mean every individual human being is an equal in the chain. The more applicable situation is between organization and higher. If you think all problems are just money problems you haven’t solved many large scale real world problems.

You can, as others have, about any platform that allows salacious content. It's not different than banning trying to ban GTA because 10 year olds have playstations. Why is softcore content the line and not GTA which has a mature (17+) rating? Why is Amouranth a problem and not Grand Theft Auto. Even Fornite has an ESRB rating of 13+. It's straight up moral panic (and IMO, moral panic directed at women who are making money from doing "nothing").

My barometer for this issue is why is this content a problem on Twitch, but not on Instagram which has a much higher penetration amount kids and teens, and is way more brazen about it.

You are talking about mobster who understands only strength and rule of stronger, any concept of morality, fairness, rule of law etc. is meaningless. At this point, he considers large parts or whole Europe should be under his dictatorship, and so does parts of middle east. Well we Europeans say NO (and much more). Waving nuclear threat won't change our stance since what goes around comes around, if he goes in others go in and all was for much less than nothing. Fighting for greater Russia will lose any meaning since there won't be any to talk about anymore.

Russia has so much more to lose, it hasn't even begun losing properly.
