Ah good point, no udp. I was looking at webtorrent but it does share the same limitation, unless you’re on the nodejs (non-browser) version. Looking forward to trying bitbang! Seem…

> it still needs to bootstrap the connection via central server. I think that always might be a limitation of P2P I think Iroh has a way of doing it using either DNS or BitTorrent …

This tracks with what I’ve heard around as well. What changed in the financial instruments? My understanding is a lot of the loans have gone PIK or otherwise essentially aren’t ser…

Some potentially related stuff on the topic: Anisotropy in word embeddings dates back to at least 2017 with word2vec - where there were zero layers. The cone-shaped anisotropy in t…

> Greenbacks … a form of fiat money https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenback_(1860s_money)

Ah, I hadn’t thought about the generational aspect that’s interesting. The aesthetic totally makes sense to me when the music is intended for it / designed with it in mind, which I…

ReplayGain is nice - but note it doesn’t ’fix the compression’. Compression and dynamic range is about loud/quiet _within_ the track. ReplayGain just turns the volume up and down f…

It really does on some records, if you’re interested check out some comparisons on YouTube. Many times it’s subtle eq tweaks, granted, and that won’t much matter. But a lot of olde…

It’s completely true, when the vinyl has a different mastering. It can be a completely different version. It’s not because it’s vinyl

Short answer, no not really. It won’t ever be as good as a proper uncompressed mastering

And also all the days you don’t, so, by itself not very meaningful. Especially since you can’t tell which one is right in advance. In some sense, so does a calendar

I’m running MultiScrobbler to scrobble from multiple sources (Spotify/PlexAmp) to multiple sinks (Last.fm/ListenBrainz/Maloja). Looks like they already support writing to Rocksky! …

They are, but SpaceX is trying to get rules changed. They want the index to buy at a multiple of the float, so they release say 5% but get bought as if they had released 15% float.…

It has plenty of useful control plane features out of the box. Nothing much you _couldn’t_ do yourself but you don’t have to. Or with Headscale as the self-hosted open-source versi…

Great system! I wonder what the overall usage distribution is like - presumably some kind of power law shape.

Yeah, that’s the idea. The loans get bundled up and resold to insurance companies, pension funds, and retail bond investors. Funds are plenty willing to lend other peoples money to…

Ah, I re-read my original comment with that in mind, and I see how it can go a few directions depending on the context - thanks!

QQQ is not in isolation. It’s just a bundle of stocks. Rebalancing that will affect the prices of its constituent stocks, which include some of the highest market cap stocks. Those…

I don’t see that in the article. The only thing I see is about S&P is where they mention that the S&P 500’s rules would prevent this manipulation if SpaceX were added to that index…

What?! This absolutely affects more than Nasdaq 100 / QQQ. The index is just a function of the stocks. It only moves if the underlying stocks move. Rebalancing Nasdaq will cause se…

It's worse than that, because S&P500 and Nasdaq100 share stocks. Like all of the MAG7 stocks. So if mag7 stocks dip because they're being structurally sold to buy SpaceX, then the …

Yeah, but the S&P500 is hugely concentrated in MAG7, which are all Nasdaq listed. So when they all get sold to buy SpaceX, you can bet your butt something's gonna happen to a S&P50…

There's trillions of dollars sitting in indexes that are quite literally 'passively' invested. Virtually everything holds this bundle in one way or another. Passive indexing has bo…
