Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap explicitly tries to push code out of the consensus layer into the smart contract layer, in contrast with other chains that try to make the chain's entire feature set monolithic in a single protocol spec. This calldata change is a very small consensus code change in comparison to the bigger picture here.

And yes, they have been turning the knobs year after year, but turning knobs is a lot different than adding more and more code.
In my understanding, Blake3 is fast mostly because it does fewer rounds than blake2. The logic is that there is no need to be conservative in the number of rounds because the current public attacks work only on few rounds so we can just do a bit more rounds and be good.

I personally avoid Blake3 and stick with blake2.

Have you read Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent, Public Opinion by Walter Lippman, or Propaganda by Edward Bernays? If so, I don't think you would come to the conclusion that the media landscape prior to social media was bastion of truth and honesty.
This appears to be an example of weaponized generalization. The examples of what frame control looks like and doesn't look like are broad to the point of meaning anything you want them to mean, OR, lack any sense of boundaries.

The author says everyone exercises frame control all the time, including themselves, and doesn't know what to do about it. In another sentence says their reaction when encountering it is to 'burn it with fire'. It ends with telling people to rely on their feelings.

Convoluted, conflicted, generalized, and entitled. Everything I don't like.
I would argue that a social media platform that default to reinforcing negative emotions and one has to "aggressively moderate" to get value from is not a good social media platform.
I use firefox on my android device, its a blessing to escape the ads. Predictably google maps is not very cooperative with it, which is one downside.
Even if you were right about that, we're not talking about a common cold. Flu is a serious disease that makes healthy people stay in bed for almost a week. Surely we can "train" with something else.
Imho it was a wise decision and I believe it made HN better.
Nowadays that’s called “socialism” and highly denigrated.
Reading the article, it seems like this was exactly their situation. It seemed like it was in the author's best interest to keep them comfortable and friendly since this was an operant conditioning task. He also mentions the only negative reinforcement considered was a puff of air, but he opted not to use it.
You can simply connect them to the internet then disconnect them. Change the WiFi SSID or password id necessary.
I think there is consumer benefit to scale (particularly when it comes to social networks), and I don't see how Instagram and Facebook being separate entities improves or changes anything. They'll have the exact same owners, same employees, same management... the only difference will be that Zucc gets richer and the employee's W-2s will say Instagram Inc instead of Meta inc.
They were added at a time when deadly diseases were a ubiquitous fact of life--imagine having ten kids and expecting four of them to die. Now that that isn't something people have to think about, we are rightly suspicious of the motivations of health bureaucrats.

This is your 5th comment making the same accusation and the 5th time I've said I know there is a difference and wasn't trying to conflate copyright with trademarks. It's also the 5th time you've got muddled over what public domain means (since that was the actual language I used) and thus the 5th time that you've gotten confused over the topic. And worst of all, it's 5th time you've proceeded to lecture me about something that wasn't even in contention to begin with.

I do acknowledge my opening post was pretty poorly written. It was rushed so I didn't really compose it properly, more just brain-farted some words into HN. Had I expected the conversation it would then generate I'd have spent more time on it. However that doesn't excuse the barrage patronising strawman arguments you've attacked me with. There's 2 or 3 replies from you just to my OP, never mind deeper in the thread.
> Twitter and other social media are probably the biggest problem of our time.

No, social media is not the root problem - it showed us who we really are.

> The worst bit is that social media is becoming the primary source of news for most people today. The results have been nothing short of catastrophic.

There is good news - people are figuring out the effects of social media. Your post is one example - you see there are issues, you have "woken up." The "Social Dilemma" on netflix is another example, that deprogrammed a lot of people. Frances Haugen's testimony to congress, another. Slowly and surely, people will build "immunity" to "mind viruses." Humans fought this battle and won [1], but the war will go on as long as humans and media coexist.

IMHO the answer to the question is quite simple and doesn't need any stats from a particular buisness sector of a particular country and 50 paragraphs.

Technological progress is not slowing, but it is being slowed down, like accelerating a car while having the handbrake slightly engaged.

On one hand we have the constant need to do more with less, building on top of our evergrowing pile of collective knowledge and wisdom.

On the other hand we have economic forces that drag down tech progress: Patents, trade secrets, conflicting corporate interests, planned obsolesence etc...

I don't agree with GP, but if you consider "what have worked in the past" to be those who have the upper hand when setting the rules, then conservatism is cementing the status quo and preventing everyone else from changing it. In a way, preserving "what works" turns into "preserving what works for us".

This is rather one-sided interpretation, but it definitely has its precedences in history and even in our times.
It’s not novelty that is optimised for, it’s engagement, and engagement is usually directly correlated with enragement.
It also was limited. The continuum between self-interest and greed was marked off quite differently then.
I did mention the fact that in many countries the medical students are put through a course structure designed not just around individual achievement on simple academic competency, but aimed and structured sometimes explicitly capped to only graduate a fixed number of doctors. Many put forward justification for this such as “there aren’t enough placements in the field once they graduate” and other semi-valid arguments to put downward pressure on the number of doctors able to and willing to (many migrate to other non “doctor” fields after the first few years of medical school) finish a medical school education as a doctor capable of working with patients on the front line.

I’m well aware it’s not possible to train a decent doctor in two years, which is why my point was more that they could have applied positive pressure like merit based scholarship opportunities or any of a number of other ways to assist students in the second/third years of medical school to stay on track to graduate as doctors and nurses. The point is that there’s never been a shortage of people trying to become Doctors, we have social, educational and economic effects in play that limit the number of people that manage to get there all of which the governments around the world could have done things about.

> A score of 12 is perfect, 11 is tolerable, but 10 or lower and you’ve got serious problems. The truth is that most software organizations are running with a score of 2 or 3, and they need serious help, because companies like Microsoft run at 12 full-time.

Over the weekend I spent a good chunk of a day fighting with a copy of Windows 11 for ARM preview that has a major bug wherein the Start Menu just straight-up doesn’t work. I’m not sure Microsoft is running at 12 full-time 21 years on from when this article was posted.
> They finally submitted and confirmed rollups were better

Again, it's a lie : Can you provide a link to an official statement made by IOHK about this ? No, of course : Input endorsers is the official path for scaling, it's not a surprise : they are part of the first 2016 Ouroboros paper. There are some experiments on Rollups because it can have use cases, but there are no official statement about using Rollups.
It will be a female.

The BOD know that Twitter will always be nothing more than a place social influencers will go to sell product, and selling product to females is a goldmine.
maybe there is a big difference between my workplace and yours, but for me a lot of stuff never gets improved much after it's written so it's basically impossible to get up to speed until the person who owned it leaves the company and now you're she one fixing their bugs. Onboarding is just really hard on legacy projects.
Seems like this would be a good use case for a "TV Honeypot" that would intercept phone-homes, recognize the model, imitate whatever jank rpc is needed to keep the unit happy, and dump all telemetry to /dev/null.
> You are arguing that people "should" pay based on value.

I believe I am arguing that we underestimate the willingness of people to part with their money when there is a right product.

> Cost to switch is low. Economics 101 (literally that class!) says that the price in that situation is going to be based on competition (for the companies/producers that survive), and the price of the competition is $0.

Not sure whether we live in different times, but isn't the same with YouTube? The cost to watch is $0, and you can even watch it ad-free for $0 with a free ad-blocker, yet 50 million people still choose to pay $12/mo for YouTube Premium.

>Not only are you not going to get a critical mass of people willing to pay,

I think you are speculating, so let me speculate as well. If Firefox does not make a radical turn, it will become irrelevant in 3-5 years.

> but also those who are willing to pay will feel massively entitled

With YT Premium, the one thing I request is that the one killer feature that I pay for (no ads) works reliably. So yes, I can agree that users will feel massively entitled to get what they paid for, but that is up to Firefox to define and control.

> The only way to make it work would be to provide some value that cannot be replicated by competitors

I agree! Firefox lost a lot of the product innovation and leadership mindset it had until roughly 2010-2011. Bringing that back would help (and the right business model could do it).

> And for that to be relevant to Mozilla, it must also be compatible with the mission of an open web.

How does making Google a default search engine in Firefox help that mission? Firefox should do it because it believes Google is the best default choice for their users and the open web, not because it gets paid to do it (if compatibility with its mission is what Firefox is striving for).

4K monitors. You need a soundbar though or some kind of audio setup + remote. Also no built-in tuner or such but I assume you get a set top box from your service provider or use a streaming device (Apple TV, Fire stick etc.)

Yeah, I cannot imagine how someone would say social media is the "biggest problem of our time" unless they were ignorant to the work you cited, and many other fundamental issues (profit motive turning the planet into a convection oven, for one).
Most TVs have an ARC (audio return channel) labeled HDMI input which sends the sound back. I connected my smart TV to my receiver via the ARC HDMI port, and it sends sound back to the receiver; and I can select inputs from the receiver from my TV's remote.

In the U.S. that is not accurate. Any form of breaking DRM, under the DMCA, is infringement. Even cracking DVD is infringement. Even if the product had a fixed key of 1234.

Even if it were legal with your single product, releasing it to the wider web would be illigal. Same as distributing digital copies is. Again, U.S. copyright law is designed heavily against individual owners. It is designed for big corporations to own anything forever. Research how Disney has changed copyright limits if you don't believe me. Look up copyright cases on YouTube.
What happens, when the structure of a typical token contract changes?
> So they can still protect it under Trademark... what does that have to do with their copyrights?

Nothing. The point was about Mickey Mouse being public domain. If something is trademarked then it is not.

I just expressed that point very badly thus leading to discussions conflating copyright and trademark.
If every website with a comment section can be described as "social media" then you're diluting the meaning of the term to the point of being useless.

Ask HN: I have a page on Facebook, how can I delete my personal profile?
I would like to turn off my personal Facebook account. I only use it to chat with a friend but I can contact him over other platforms.
However, I manage a few pages on Facebook (business and hobbies) that I can't abandon, unfortunately. What's the best course of action I can take?

I've been thinking in creating a different profile, set that profile as admin of the pages, and then delete my account. Would that be a bad or good idea? I am not sure if it goes against Facebook TOS and I would be in a big problem if I lose any of the pages I am an admin.
Yeah, should read "He will go down in history as _a_ creator of a truly evil and potential humanity destroying platform"
I'd argue that HTTPS by default makes perfect sense for a _public facing_ server. For something on an internal network it doesn't make as much sense, especially since that makes using the default path for getting certificates difficult (can't get certs if you don't have DNS).

I think what I'm trying to say is that Caddy was initially great for me (serving static files on the local network by IP address as an easy way to transfer files), but hasn't been that for ages.
Twitter does a have a large "health" department tasked with figuring how to measure and improve the quality of the content and discourse in the platform. I don't have details since I only interviewed for a role in that team, but I do know it exists and it has a large number of PMs, Data Scientists, and Researchers. They have even collaborated with academia on the topic and a recent open RecSys competition (recommender system) was organized by Twitter with their data.

OP of the issue here - I literally talk about this in the thread. Easter eggs are cool, but obfuscated payloads in critical code is not.

> Hi, While I appreciate easter eggs (and think others have it a bit too much out for them), the fact that this easter egg is obfuscated sets off multiple alarm bells. The automated code scanners were right -- this looks like malware!

> [...]

> If this easter egg was unobfuscated, I would've just looked at it and gone "thats neat", but the fact that this was obfuscated to look like malware means I have to spend 10 mins checking that it isn't actually malicious. It would be nice if the easter egg was kept but de-obfuscated so others aren't concerned by it.
I recently opted for Sony Google TV because at least I can trace where my stuff is going with Google. Also it’s hard to find a capable 4K120Hz devices so you’re pretty much stuck with in-device apps to get the best quality.
In one sense this is cross platform and in another it isn’t.

For docker I use traefik2 and i really like how it integrates; you can also set up a zero downtime setup
I love using caddy for my self-hosted apps, it's so easy to setup and with a little work I got SSO working (v1) for all my apps which is awesome. I no longer have to maintain a different password for each service I run and once I log into 1 of them, I'm logged into all of them. I need to port my setup to v2 but I've been lazy about doing it since some of the plugins/config I use has changed or been removed in v2. I've never used Caddy for production because I've not been in the position to dictate using it or, before switching off nginx/lighttpd, benchmarking it but the ease of use for SSL alone is bar-none.

I see so many people complain about Facebook but it's probably my best behaved social network. The key for me was to unfriend any high school "friend" I haven't seen in real life for almost 30 years. Then mute my Boomer relatives who I need to remain Facebook friends with to keep the peace. The result is a feed of about 20 people I enjoy who share pictures and goings-on day to day with the occasional posting from someone outside the core group who I still enjoy interacting with.

I have never liked Twitter because for a long time I thought it was a platform that enabled people to scream crazy things into the void (I have been thinking this for the last 7-10 years).

I mean either you share links to long-form content, or source an opinion, or you are contributing nothing to a discussion.
In addition to the auto HTTPS which many mentioned, it also has simplified PHP support. I also find the configuration files are easier to write with more consistent syntax. They are smaller than similar nginx rules, and it's easy to test them because caddy will automatically reload when the file is saved.
I have been working on remastering some audiobooks from there, once I got more books done, I will have a proper section for people to download them for free from my website (direct links from the listing, no bs).

Remastering as in removing background noise, EQing, compression and normalization of audio levels and reducing the librivox intro to the start of the audiobook only, rather than annoying people every chapter.
you are referring to the "tally light", which uses a very limited range of values, usually 2 (off/red) or 3 (off/red/green) in a studio setting.
since this here is a continuous value (based on multiple parameters) i would also think in terms of green being desirable and red being non-desirable.
Now that is an interesting point I never considered. That the message being conveyed is simply "Obey the law".

Not that the contents of the message should be germane (in my opinion) when considering whether a specific act of speech should be considered legal or not.
if it's automatic, doesn't that make it "opt out", not "opt in"?
