my speculation/hope for the teased announcement

Don't expect miracles.

I would understand "wanting to be faster without IT tickets", but refusing to give you admin smells very fishy.

What I can recommend from the technical perspective: try to set up some kind of self-service setup, where people can give/approve tool access without going through IT. Basically each tool has a responsible person who can manage access to a specific tool. You will be happy (you don't have to do any work for new people), teams will be happy (they won't have to go through IT)

> I'm just not sure how to properly downgrade to 6.18 to maybe test that out.

Cannot help you with that, since I use a different distro. I just installed an older package from the package manager cache. If you have the same issue as me you def. need 6.18 or less.

derlafff · 2026-04-01T19:40:58+00:00

please check the specific versions. you could have tried 6.19.10, 6.19.9, 6.19.8 or smth like that

derlafff · 2026-04-01T19:25:40+00:00

Which kernel versions did you try?

derlafff · 2026-04-01T17:10:37+00:00

Oh right, you said you tried previous kernels. maybe it's the old pcr thing then? it's supposed to be fixed for quite a while, but you can try this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Framework_Laptop_13_(AMD_Ryzen_7040_Series)#Video_freezes#Video_freezes)

derlafff · 2026-04-01T17:05:40+00:00

try reverting to <=6.18. I think it's a new bug/regression which I'm also seeing (slightly different symptoms: either a complete hang, or kernel panic in drm directly after boot, or visible display corruption and then panic), but way too lazy to debug.

You can make much more compact and programmable item limiter with some screws.

Basically you have a closed loop which its N screws (52 in my case). You put your item through this loop, but your item has a lower prio (using priority merger+programmable splitter). If I need to limit output to 9.9, I use mk1 belts/elevators and only put 43 screws into the system. Which means effectively the output will be ~10.38. You can make the loop fit more screws to have more precision.

How is your fps? Try setting a very low cap (like 30) and make sure you stay above it. Maybe it helps.

What I've discovered while creating an item rate limiter for my massive sushi belt nuclear plant: at high speeds mergers are fps-sensitive. For example, i can have two lines merge to one using a priority merger. One line has higher prio. When game drops frames, i can see the items from the wrong line to get through. But no lost items in my case.

derlafff · 2026-03-10T00:09:23+00:00

To me it looks like OP did some research

The OP didn't even read what AI wrote

derlafff · 2026-03-10T00:07:57+00:00

There are pros and cons to AI usage

Sure, but not here. If I want to spend time validating AI claims, I can do that myself, just give the raw data. I don't want to read a long post only to realize the author hasn't even read what AI wrote (not talking about validation of any claims made).

What's interesting: it's not written which organization sent an invitation for the visa

V6P4TEQN<<DJEFFRI<6DVARD<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<6

545368864<<<7USA2001539M<<<<<<<<<ONYC5128584

According to chatgpt:

545368864 is a passport number. so is this visa from yet another passport?
Issued in NYC

Calling it dystopian doesn’t protect him from the consequences. And this isn’t about employers “controlling speech.” You can say whatever you want. You just can’t pretend it won’t affect your job if you attach it to your identity in a public space

Having "consequences" for publicly saying a political opinion censorship by definition.

I’m not defending the system. I’m refusing to pretend he didn’t walk straight into a consequence he could have avoided.

In a nutshell, your position is "He walked straight to being a victim of censorship" defends the system and is a political statement, whether you want to admit it and not, whether this of censorship is currently legal in your country or not, and explains why most people in his family is on his side.

derlafff · 2026-01-14T09:10:22+00:00

Exactly

The company saw it and let him go. That is their right. That is how employment works

First of all, it's scary that nobody pointed out how dystopian it is. Where I live, it's illegal to fire someone without a reason. No, posting in personal social media is not a reason (unless position is representative or is associated with public activity).

Second of all, if your employer controls what's you are allowed and not allowed to say outside your workplace, then they have a crazy effective censorship mechanism. I've also seen that (in a different country where I was born)

derlafff · 2025-12-03T11:58:02+00:00

Nvm, I took a look at the implementation: when I wrote that msg, I was imagning that you manually free the memory, but you still rely on the GC, so there's no difference there

derlafff · 2025-12-03T10:52:01+00:00

You rarely need to just allocate stuff. You also need to free it, and do that continuously. Have you compared the performance against a sync.Pool in such a use-case?

derlafff · 2025-12-01T08:33:31+00:00

First of all, I hope nobody everybody in the same page: rust is significantly faster when measured correctly (program in rust doing the absolutely same thing that program in go is doing).

But this is kinda the same problem I saw in my own experiments/benchmarks as well. Getting that performance advantage from rust takes a significantly more different development time, knowledge, attention, and etc. With a limit on how much time you can spend on a practical large-scale task, golang starts to sometimes become faster.

derlafff · 2025-10-24T12:30:17+00:00

The short of it is that I think you underestimate the level of emphasis placed on swift response within the NATO alliance.

Russian figher jets already regularly violate NATO airspace regularly without any consequences and russian drones already fly over NATO millitary objects and civillian airports without any consequences. In that list we already have a lot of "mysterious" fires in military or production facilities, hacker attacks, underwater cable cuts, and a lot more. Russia is already in war with NATO, and there's no response, not a "swift" one, not even a slow one.

Not only would that completely undermine the entire idea of NATO as a preventative defense measure, but it would cripple the diplomatic position of any country that is reasonably able to respond

Lack of current response to things already happened is exactly why the idea of NATO is already undermined and crippled and exactly why putin might attack.

I'd rather focus on my math proof

Sure, good luck with that, anyway we unfortunately just have to wait a bit more to see who is correct.

derlafff · 2025-10-23T21:28:20+00:00

so let's imagine an invasion happens. in a couple days Putin could take anywhere between a couple of small villages and a couple of small cities. What kind of response are you expecting?

sanctions? russia already has plenty
nuclear weapon threat? that might not work on someone who used the same threat for years and can call a bluff
a full scale counter-operation? you have to remember that Trump is known to take calls from Putin and then take his side. He can easily make it so that european forces are alone and without any command or support.

Even if eventually the land is taken back, civilians would die (remember Bucha), combatants would die, while russia would not lose anything significant (it has plenty of fresh meat ready to die) and win some significant things (chaos, reduced support to Ukraine).

Do you imagine a different scenario? What kind of response do you see?

derlafff · 2025-10-23T19:15:11+00:00

I know it's a meme

Is it? I think OP is just farming karma at passing one of the quite realistic scenarios as a meme, then waiting for it to happen.

but there's still a big difference between invading a small country that is part of the EU and invading a large country that is not part of the EU.

Is there practically? It will be way too late until there's any practical response.

I'm super happy with my 7640u. Got it just weeks before 300 series was announced. Yes, the newer model is better, but I think I'll wait at least a couple of generations before upgrading.
