And you, too, will please forgive me for being pedantic.

Check out line 540 of the link above (section 1.7):

Master (hidden service) identity key -- A master signing keypair
used as the identity for a hidden service. This key is long
term and not used on its own to sign anything; it is only used
to generate blinded signing keys as described in [KEYBLIND]
and [SUBCRED]. The public key is encoded in the ".onion"
address according to [NAMING].

You can then follow that to line 2292 (Appendix 2) which describes the aforementioned generation process. It's a bit too long to be pasted here, but it turns out to be elliptic curve multiplication and hashing. This is not encryption for any common definition thereof.

In fact, you generally do not use public keys to do encryption at all. What often happens is that you use a key exchange algorithm like Diffie-Hellman to derive a shared secret, which you then use to do bulk encryption using your favorite cipher (some asymmetric cryptosystems permit encryption, but they're much slower than symmetric ciphers, which also benefit from strong hardware acceleration).

You can also use keypairs for signing, key exchange (e.g., DH), key derivation (as used by Tor hidden services), and creating verifiable random functions. They definitely do not imply encryption.
> Why it is this underestimated and underappreciated

Wait... when has it been underappreciated?

Besides things like ChromeOS, many "platform native" apps have moved to become essentially wrappers around web apps. It's pretty safe to say that what was originally built as web technology, has essentially become the modern baseline of cross platform development (HTML/CSS for specifying interface layout, JS for business logic and WASM/WebGPU to take advantage of extra hardware capabilities under a generic wrapper) and it's only natural that more capabilities are desired of it.

I think what's lacking right now is more reflection on how to deal with the security and privacy implications in a future where applications are all essentially zero-click installs. WASM has already been used for cryptojacking, it's not that hard to imagine WebGPU being used for that too. The security implications have been the bane of earlier web distribution of code. From ActiveX to Java Applets to Flash, the history of web distribution (and security flaws with them) is a very long one...

WebGPU and WASM are not like a camera and microphone where you can just pop up a permission dialog to turn them on/off. In order for them to gain wider adoption (rather than end up being a security liability like Flash), we need to think about how a user may be able to control granular access of these resources for what are essentially untrusted (and opaque) applications.

/usr/bin has certainly no -march=native extensions, not even SIMD. It's extremely conservative, unless you are using Gentoo (nobody does anymore).

/usr/local/bin with tuned CFLAGS sounds better for such a statistical analysis.
I said try doing it using Tor with JavaScript disabled, which is the safe way to use the Tor Browser. I said nothing about a VPN. A VPN will not save you from leaking identifying information from your device and browser, while the Tor Browser at least attempts to minimize such identifying information.
In computation, we start with some information and then get other information from it, but the operations to get there have certain time and space complexity.

Math works the same except every operation is O(0) time and space complexity. To a mathematician, you start with set of some axioms and then -- boom -- everything possible thing you could derive from that is said to exist.

There's a place for both. A mathematician needs to be concerned with what things are true, not how hard it is to see it. But someone who actually needs (or has to manage) specific information may need to be concerned with the difficulty of that.
Maybe so for Windows NT, but Linux 1.0 was released in 94. It feels strange because I was on the mailing list when Linus announced his project, and I had just gotten out of college when 1.0 became official.

And yes as well on anything serious that deals with modern CPU architectures.

But my point was that the old stuff has not been replaced, it’s still out there and often times you don’t have to dig much to find it. Particularly at the OS level, in memory management, multithreading, networking stacks and hardware drivers.

So the jungle simply becomes more diverse and nothing ever gets retired.

Point being, a place has all it's infrastructure designed for the climate it's in, not a different place's climate.

There are supposed to be infinitely more real numbers than integers. But if you can name a real number, I can map it to an integer by converting the string you use to define the number to a bigint. This mapping suffers from mapping all definitions of pi to different integers, but that's OK. What is the mathematical term for "namable numbers"? That's what I'm talking about here, and it also seems related to the blog.

Snap & Sketch is my core workflow (it's by far the fastest way to get information from meat space into notes), and the best app I've found so far to facilitate this is GoodNotes. It has three critical features:

1. Native snap & sketch support (no fussing with embedding every time you want to create/edit, which is all the time for me)

2. Stores notes as folders-of-PDF in dropbox, not proprietary format locked behind a subscription.

3. Fast OCR search (I'd happily swap this for good native text editing, but having some smooth search mechanism is very important and many graphical apps don't.)

GoodNotes has plenty of weaknesses -- the drawing tools are primitive, the desktop text editing story is almost nonexistent, it's tied to the mac ecosystem -- so I have been delighted to see the explosion of good Markdown tooling which is strong in these other areas, and I have been hoping that one of them would be good enough at snap & sketch that I could jump. Obsidian.md+excalidraw comes dangerously close to challenging GoodNotes, but my brief trial on an iPad involved too much fussing around to make the snap & sketch workflow happen, so I don't think I'll jump quite yet.

Just including my thoughts for anyone else out there approaching notes from the Snap & Sketch angle.

I go see my local AAA team a few times a month during the season. I sit right behind home plate for $15. Parking is $7 or free if you're willing to walk 10 minutes. They brew their own beer and sell tall boys for $5 each.

The skill gap between MLB and AAA has probably never been bigger, but at the same time the gap between AAA and the lower levels has probably never been smaller. And of course to the untrained eye (99% of fans) it all looks basically identical.
I'm talking about the unfair allegation of privacy violations, here.

Note that when the Archive shares crawled content with other libraries, those other libraries often have their own legal right to collect, preserve, and make-available that data even stronger than the Archive's rights via fair use, implied-license, library privileges, and other grounds. For example, many of the Archive's partners in government libraries, archives, & educational institutions have a statutory right & mission to collect copies of everything 'published', including via the world-wide-web, in their sphere of national interest.

As to what some unstated jurisdiction might consider "within reason", I prefer to think they'll find what's reasonable what I find to be reasonable – the IA's crawling policies – unless & until some actual governing authority finds otherwise in a clearly applicable/legible decision.

See my root post (ggggggp): in a vital, evolutionary, true-law-made-on-the-ground civilization, what actually winds up as "within reason" depends on the real implementations & multi-decade demonstrations of how things can beneficially work, as much or more than any copyright loyalist's strict reading of older statutory laws.

> Fukushima incident had a big impact on German public opinion.

Merkel already went against public opinion when she put in place running time extensions in late 2010 to delay the phase-out, that was massively controversial decision.

Then only a few months later Fukushima blew up, so her already unpopular and controversial position became ultimately untannable. Particularly as many faults with German reactors were found during the [atom-moratorium](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom-Moratorium) that was declared after Fukushima.

Prior to that safety inspections were not even mandatory for the operators.

1. they use diesel generators as backup (they need to and it's a safety net)

2. they follow the load but they also pump out unnecessary energy (heat) into the ocean (you can't do that with normal reactors, BECAUSE you don't have infinite cooling water)

3. it's way smaller and the load is way smaller < 100 MW which of course makes load following way way more easier

I agree with you on this, but I don’t think it’s being underestimated or underappreciated. WASM comes up in almost every design discussion I have with people where we’re considering doing heavyweight data processing or graphics stuff in the browser. Sure you’ll find a couple doubters here and there (like the “it’s just Flash” person ITT) but overall I feel like these technologies are “correctly rated”.
I've been trying htmx and the results are great. So much simpler to code than with SPA. My only concern is about those datetime pickers and other type of "components" that is easy to get from a react/vue ecosystem but much harder in a vanilla Javascript way. Not saying it's impossible, but a bit harder to find decent maintain libraries/components for those kind of web interactions.

Doesn't something like 40% of Americans believe in literal creation? As in the earth is 10k years old or something like that?

Then the question is what makes it far right: far from our point of view, or far from the normal point of view in the US?

Because I strongly suspect that what we consider normal is not the normal and so what we might think of as far right is not that far from the center.
> If it's true, what does saying it's anti-American mean? Would you rather be in the dark about shady shit your government is doing?

Sure, as long as it’s accompanied by safe journalist practices (which it isn’t) and also calls out the shady shit of other, opposed, countries (which (which it doesn’t).

> It’s entirely possible that he just has better access to US sources than Russian ones.

That’s fine and possible, but even if that wasn’t the case - and he had access to Russian leaks but didn’t leak them - this is still exactly what he would say.

And it’s possible both are true - that he’s simply releasing what is given to him, and the Russian state saw this and took the opportunity to feed him information as a result. At that point, after he has continually irresponsibly released covert information from a hostile state, how is he any different in practice than an intentional hostile actor?
Aside - us oldsters from the 1900s need to stop referring to ~1900 as "The turn of the century". We're at a point where ~2000 will start (maybe is) being referred to as "The turn of the century" due to it turning in to the current century at that time.

@ blowski -- I agree. I enjoy brain.fm but don't think they're realing generating a custom track based on my profile and "science" like they claim.
Because there's nothing in particular that causes what's happening in the central part of the distribution. The centrally located outcomes are the result of combining a myriad of small factors this way and that way. Outliers usually have an identifiable, single cause.

This is why in statistical process control these types of outcome are known as "common-cause variation" and "assignable-cause variation".
No, the microinstruction formats are very different, so also the microprograms must be different.

Even the newer Atom cores, e.g. the Tremont cores from Jasper Lake/Elkhart Lake/Snow Ridge/Parker Ridge/Lakefield have a different microinstruction format than that which has been published now.

For every generation of Intel CPUs, reverse-engineering the microcode requires all the work to be done again, what has been discovered for another generation cannot help much.

NASA Responses to Webb Independent Review Board Recommendations (2018) [pdf]
Air conditioning consumes a ton of energy. About 10% of all electricity consumed worldwide. https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-cooling It emits about 4% of greenhouse gases https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S25424... But the volume itself is not meaningful - the gases used by AC units are extremely powerful - up to 750 times the greenhouse effect of CO2. And of course, the AC unit itself heats the city - which is why they get much hotter than the countryside during heat waves, further exacerbating the demand for AC and making the problem even worse. It's a vicious circle.

How do you suggest achieving that? Other than global warming?

Can someone recommend a note taking app that will stay at the front of the screen. I sometimes record voiceovers in final cut, and want to read back my notes. I simultaneously want to have both final cut in full screen and the note app up front. Stupid thing goes into the background as soon as I click on final cut. Stickies do the same. I also want to be able to set the font size of my notes, and would prefer the app would just give me plain text and not try to format html when I copy something from the browser into it.

There are a few comments comparing Minidiscs to CDs, I think that's the wrong way to look at the format.

My mental model for Minidiscs is much more similar to tape, it was so easy to use them to record. As a teenager this was the most exciting thing about them -- you could record ~CD quality audio from CDs (I had so many MD mixtapes!) or the radio. On top of that, you could make your copy feel polished by adding track markers and names, giving you information about the track playing when listening and letting you skip back and forth between songs.

This was a huge upgrade from cassettes and an upgrade from CDs because you didn't need to go through the rigamarole of burning.

Of course, this doesn't even touch upon industrial design of the units which has already been well covered in this thread. If you'd like to browse through some old units and get a sense of that, I recommend minidisc.org.

> What is the mathematical term for "namable numbers"

Well, it depends on what you mean by "nameable"—a common one is "Algebraic number", which is means "a root of a polynomial with integer coefficients". That's a bigger list that "those you can define using addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponents". But if you use a different list of operations, you get a different set of numbers.

The first vehicle I ever drove was a Travelall back in the late 70s when I was 8 or 9. My great uncle had one on the family farm and it was a beast. Driving that thing up a hill by myself (with my uncle in the passenger seat) on gravel farm road was both scary and exciting.

I understand that the big automakers make a lot of money on the fancy trim packages but I would love a stripped down truck and even more a stripped down light truck. I still miss my '87 Nissan Frontier I had in grad school.

> Traditional asphalt has a low albedo, which means it reflects radiation poorly and instead absorbs it

Seems like a pretty good high level explanation of why that matters. Darker objects absorb energy instead of reflecting it. I'm sure there's more to it than that when you get into details.
I dunno man, I don't see anything about "a broad network of different sites" requirement here:

https://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arc...

A hyperview-based application has the exact same defining characteristic of a RESTful web application: there is a single URL that is entered, and beyond that all actions are afforded through hypermedia controls. All the information needed to traverse the service is encoded in responses, and no knowledge of the entire interface is needed by the client. Seems relevant to me.

I certainly agree it isn't a general purpose browser, but web browsers are only an instance of a hypermedia client, not the definition of one.

Ok, so, my understanding is that self-hosting is running a web service for personal use. This isn't self-hosted. It's a Chrome extension.
