Presumably Bluesky's social media protocol will need to operate on some data/ledger structure, to maintain a large social graph (follower/follows), user records (public key hashes, posts, etc). If too few nodes are hosting this data, it would be malleable to manipulation by the hosts.

The same occurs in blockchains that are not widely distributed enough: a blockchain with 5 validators (hosts) is more susceptible to manipulation (i.e. hosts changing records/data for their own gain) than a blockchain with 50K validators, because the cost to control the network becomes exponentially expensive. Strong cryptography has nothing to do with this, and does not prevent this kind of manipulation. Imagine a sort of 51% attack on Bluesky's social graph, in order to manipulate a user's associated public key hash or alter the social graph for some nefarious reason.

A blockchain ledger probably is not the only solution, but it does create a strong financial barrier to manipulation (i.e. 51% attacking a widely-distributed PoS blockchain ledger would be prohibitively expensive and short-lived). I am interested if Bluesky is considering these problems and whether they have alternative non-crypto/blockchain solutions.

"Sub-Millimeter" may sound impressive to a novice, but with very simple tools like a hand file you can work on metal with a precision of a thousandth of a millimeter. So yes, this is impressive craftmanship but nothing that would rewite history of technology.
Correct. I’d suggest series b. Getting past a is a huge leap but you still have risk and upside.
Can you provide some examples of specific situations in which throwing objects not derived from Error causes difficulty?

I ask for two reasons. First, because I find argument from authority to be a very annoying logical fallacy. I have actually heard people argue that in Python one should never use an exception to exit a loop, because "that's not how exceptions are supposed to be used". The people making this argument don't realize that every for loop in Python is always exited via an exception.

My second reason for asking is that I think your examples might all fall into certain categories. For instance, maybe there is a good argument for "never throw things not derived from Error in a way that they will escape your library, but within one library/module it's a perfectly fine technique". Looking at specific pros and cons would help uncover the cases where it is most and least harmful.

A central limitation of Betamax that is rarely mentioned is that the tapes were too short to fit very long movies on them; see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Videotape_format_...

"While VHS machines' lower retail price was eventually a major factor, the principal battleground proved to be recording time. The original Sony Betamax video recorder for the NTSC television system could record for only 60 minutes, identical to the previous U-matic format, which had been sufficient for use in television studios. JVC's VHS could manage 120 minutes, followed by RCA's entrance into the market with a 240-minute recorder using VHS. These challenges sparked a mini-war to see who could achieve the longest recording time."

> Why does the RPi still have its own OS?

Because it's not aimed at the general purpose computer market?

The OS -- the features, the documentation, the learning focus, the ease-of-use planning, the designed support for school and code clubs -- is part of the product.

It's not just a little cheap linux box for nerds; it has a different focus.

Also the hardware itself is different, is it not? It has (for example) no battery-backed clock. It has connectors other distros cannot be expected to support (CSI for example).

They achieve all of this with their own slice of Debian; it's as close to being standard as is sensible.

They also provide a tool -- pi-gen -- to allow you to roll your own distro off the main; it's quite effective.

And they have a mainline OS (Ubuntu) if you want that.

But if you really want a tiny SBC without their OS platform -- buy one.
You can now do all of that SSH configuration from within the Raspberry Pi Imager (there's a hidden control panel)

The point is that you have changed your principle residence to the new property and, hence, it is not taxed on sale.

"When you change your principal residence to an income producing property, such as a rental or business property, you can make an election not to be considered as having started to use your principal residence as a rental or business property. This means you do not have to report any capital gain when you change its use. "

> By offering to buy gold from Russian banks at a fixed price of 5,000 rubles per gram, the Bank of Russia has both linked the ruble to gold

This kind of effort only works as long as the banks have all that gold the Bank of Russia wants to buy and want to sell it for the rubles the Bank of Russia is printing and the Bank of Russia is both willing and able to sell a gram of gold for every 5000 rubles in circulation.

This is quite unlikely, it’s way more likely it’s just a way to trade in gold instead of rubles so they can avoid the sanctions. But once it becomes clear there isn’t enough gold to cover for the circulating rubles the value of the ruble collapses.

Sure, taxpayers pay ultimately, but that's not the important part. The important part is that taxpayers currently don't care. They don't really have a stake in this. They are indifferent, because they don't feel the huge torrent of opportunity cost of a slow regulatory agency going down the drain. Pay for delay would make this visible. It'd immediately help to put pressure on politicians, and that will make the executive branch much much much more responsive to these issues.

This just sounds like an addict bargaining to me. Like an alcoholic trying to figure out if they can handle a glass of wine because they use to drink vodka.

You obviously can't have a healthy relationship with video games or else it would never come to posting this.

I mean one of the hardest things with beating any addiction long term after the initial battle is what to do with all the free time and the boredom.

I would think some kind of time consuming, non-digital hobby would be best as a replacement.

Maybe try reading too about other people going through gambling addictions or other types of non-substance addictions to see how what you are asking is almost stereotypical in a sense with addictions.
You’re really articulating something I’m having a hard time articulating myself. I think it’s why I’ve been gravitating towards audiobooks, podcasts, media services that offer their articles as audio, etc. I have always used audio as a major point for information, but I’ve been really turning to it lately for anything of substance.

As someone with ADHD multitasking is in my blood (obviously this is different for everyone but that’s how mine often manifests). The digital age is in some ways incredible for someone like me, because I am able to pick up things that fall through the cracks at speeds I could never do previously. Search functions are my lifeblood. But as you’re discussing, it’s hard to distinguish between different sorts of content now, which is very important for someone like me. I need to kind of know what I am signing up for, and I don’t need everything to be designed for speed reading or quick glances.

Audio formats don’t really fall into this problem. They are the links they are, and it is right in front of you. It is a known, concrete quality. The only thing you can do is change the speed at which it plays back, which is an entirely different thing. I don’t know maybe I’m a little off base here, but something about what you wrote just made me think about that and really click into place why I’ve been listening to so much audio contact and reading so much less. I need to fire up my kindle paper white a little probably.

That's super overkill. If you just transfer learn from a good checkpoint you'll get good results in a day or two on a V100 (probably even a P100), especially at just 512x512. (I've done this lots of times and a colab pro account for $10 is more than plenty.)
>Why would you pay cash? I made a cash offer on mine but still took out a loan since interest rates are so low.

That was a response to your statement that 'people have the money'. The larger point is that just because people are buying houses doesn't mean that things are healthy, case in point: 2007/2008 housing crash, which was preceded by a housing bubble and led to a lot of misery.

Cloudflare has a legally binding contract with Mozilla to this effect. So you’ve traded up from a number of companies that have never promised to not sniff or tamper with your traffic (and often do, and don’t really have any positive brand image to protect) up to a single company that has a legal commitment not to tamper with your traffic (and has some form of brand image to protect). I too, would prefer if DoH had more technical features to prevent sniffing/tampering, but this is an upgrade.
Oh, that's interesting. Do you have a tutorial on how to do that?
Neat i didn't think about that. But that is less improbable then 1 in 12450197393 which is what you might get with normal distribution.
I've actually put quite a lot of thought into this topic (but for a different, non-x86 out-of-order CPU)

It might not be possible to do it with an interpreter, but a well-designed JIT should be able to shift the cost of calculating instruction scheduling and cycle-costs from execution time to JIT time.

Since OoO CPUs spend long stretches of time between branch miss-predicts and L1 cache misses, you can get long sequence of instructions that executing with the exact same timings every time. A tracing JIT is perfect for this usecase. You just need to normalise the pipeline state on entry (and this since this normally happens after a miss-predict, the pipeline is often drained), and then exit on every branch miss-predict or L1 cache miss and start a new trace.

I suspect such a scheme might be fast enough for a Pentium III, I just need to find some time to actually try out my ideas at some point.

> As a user [...] there will inevitably be race conditions and lost data.

This is the same as with files. And in either case in practice there isn't really that much of an issue.

> No you're wrong. I'm sorry but I really can't stand when people say this.

You disliking me saying this doesn't make me wrong you know.

> It is absolutely a technical issue because no two toolkits will support the exact same set of options.

The social issue is on the "why".

In other words if something is technically possible then it is not a technical issue.

> If they didn't want to do a different design with a different set of options then they wouldn't have made another toolkit. Once they do, then you're faced with the very real technical problem of how to reconcile two diverging designs.

These designs do not come from some god, they are decisions people (the developers) make.

> You're saying it's a social issue because people can't be bothered to do this work for free, and I'm sorry but that's not how anything works.

Nobody aside from you brought up anything about doing things for free or not, it is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

My claim is that it is a social issue because people decide to not do it not because it is technically impossible but because they do not think it is worth to do it.

> If it were that easy then you would have done it by now.

Also nobody claimed it'd be easy.

> Maybe you're trying to say that it would be better if we all used one toolkit, but the ship has long sailed on that, on every single operating system that exists. It also isn't possible to make the one toolkit that does everything everyone wants and works with every possible standard that somebody has ever published.

No i'm not trying to say that and while having one toolkit would help some things, as you write you cannot have one toolkit be the best for everyone.

> I don't think so, both GTK and Qt are pretty portable and have been available on other Unixes. Also it's not like Xaw has any HPUX or Solaris specific features to warrant using it.

They might be portable and available but that is not the same as available everywhere there is a X/Xorg/fork server running, especially when you take into consideration that both Gtk and Qt break their ABIs at every major version (e.g. nowadays many distributions do not carry Qt4 so any 2010 binary that was written against it would not work in current distributions, however any 2010 binary that was written against Xaw would still work - of course that is just an example of what i meant, any 2010 binary that was written against Gtk2 would still work though i'm not sure for how long that'd be the case).

In any case this is beside the point of that paragraph, my point was that Xaw despite being the closest thing to a default toolkit (regardless if strictly speaking it is one) that is in pretty much every Xorg/etc installation hasn't seen any changes since the early 90s. And that is because nobody cared to do that despite being technically possible to do so, since all effort went into other toolkits that weren't even locked into X11.

>Our phones are making us dumber
I never really liked this very generalized take. My phone has been amazing for learning how to fix things (and typically quickly). That would’ve never happened if I needed hard copy manuals/books (which almost no one ever has around when they need it). I am able to find many quality media sources that offer different levels of quality and perspectives, as opposed to just keeping cable news on all day to tell me what to think and feel, all curated by one entity. I learned how to search and identify results I need or want, which is a skill in and of itself.

Phones do not simply make us dumber. They make some things harder, some things easier, and of course, require responsibility on our part.
