Can this talk to other people on Matrix?

As for other alternatives, there's a nice list here: https://matrix.org/clients/

Edit: this seems to be a peer-to-peer alternative chat client. I'm not sure you'll want to use peer-to-peer messengers under a government that issues such bans as the peer-to-peer nature exposes exactly who you talk to and how often. I think the federated model is a lot stronger in preserving privacy (though the Matrix team is running experiments on running peer-to-peer, which would create a very similar model and a similar threat).

They are not toxic. You are free to use everything you want. But for someone it is easier to rely on an existing established ISA instead of trying to roll their own. Using a niche ISA also may have its downsides: compiler support may be not as good, missing peripherals, inability to reach the desired energy/performance balance etc. So, it totally depends on what you want and what you need. There is no space for toxicity, it's just an emotional illusion. You just choose whatever works for you.
I'm a non-coding lurker here, but the only thing that ever motivated me to write my own program was to solve the newspaper anagram puzzle, "Jumble", faster than my wife. I wrote it in Basic, then re-wrote it in assembly language, I forget when. Then in Fortran while home bound during the first summer of the pandemic - to atone for my past sin of neglecting to learn Fortran when I had a chance in the late 1960's.
This implies it but isn't direct. I would have liked to see a specific callout to users telling them how to solve the problem they are having.

I'm late to the 'modern' discussions & just checking my read - I can think of applications for mixed dimensions and discrete space vectors and there are analogs to trad R^N ops for those cases.

My intuition is that browser plugins based on some federated system (e.g. Mastodon, Matrix) could enable this. Why complicate browsers even more? (No expertise here, so I'm probably missing the big picture)
> Are we just relying on .well-known having some extra protection [...] ? If so then .well-known is little safer than any other arbitrary location in this respect.

If .well-known had just been invented, that would be true. It's fairly well established at this point, though. For example, if someone can create arbitrary files in .well-known, they are also able to pass http-01 ACME challenges and thus issue TLS certs for your domain (modulo CAA) and MITM you. At this point, allowing users to modify .well-known is about as good an idea as allowing them to receive mail for postmaster@ or accepting incoming packets from 192.168.0.0/16 into your LAN.

Amazon S3 specifically would not be vulnerable because bucket names can’t have dots in them; same for every other service that doesn’t allow those. Neither would services that prefix usernames with ~ or @ or similar, nor services that already use http-01 ACME challenges to get certs thus are already using that path.

I’d be much happier if proving domain control were only done through DNS challenges, but that ship has sailed.
It is. Along with shoving bills inside other bills and making it so long that no politicians ever notice. I love this game!

Not really. At least, I'm not convinced. Signal for instance does not have public channels like Matrix has, maybe that's the big difference. Signal's code can also be audited if in doubt (well, actually, Signal could always provide altered binaries on the App Store and Google Play Store, you'd have to build it yourself to be sure - though they do have reproducible builds for Android [1]).

There are other ways to do this, but not necessarily simpler:

- explicitly version every change to the store catalogue and require the version to be passed with a purchase, disallowing purchases from old catalogues

- make an expiring signed piece of data (like JWT) for each offer in the store catalogue and require it to be passed back with a purchase, accepting old prices briefly

- make the purchase API two-phase, locking in the price on the first phase and letting the client notice that it changed and potentially neglect to go through with the second phase

That shouldn't matter in this case. If the brand is created / owned by OpenAI, Slack shouldn't be able to use it just because it's more convenient for them.

I wish that the slack company would focus on performance and e.g. making video calls work on Firefox.

As alternative recommendation, matrix.org is somewhere between IRC and slack/telegram. It's an open protocol like IRC, so you can pick your preferred client (and server) and aren't trapped on some platform. Open source also means that it's not as UX streamlined as proprietary stuff, mind that.

It does have a lot of modern features like attachments, reactions, replies, etc., which I found to be almost unusable on older systems like jabber.
Is there a comparison? It is interesting that there do not seem to be any Midjourney benchmarks. E.g.

If their model is so great, why are they afraid of benchmarks?
No, these bans (as I understand it) usually happen under IT Act that apply to service providers and ISPs, not citizens. For example, TikTok is blocked by ISPs and taken off from app stores, and TikTok might itself be fined if they continue to provide service but it’s is not illegal for a citizen to use it. There are very few cases where it’s illegal for a citizen to access some things, but those things are illegal just about everywhere.

How about Public Money, Public Data? For instance, there’s a whole industry around finding public legal information about companies. State’s websites offer throttled database access, some offer data for free, but most selling it for dozens of thousands of dollars (officially)
Laws exist.

As for banning things in practice: forcing ISPs to do IP and DNS level blocking as a start, combined with fining companies or imprisoning their legal representation if they do not comply with national laws. If IP blocking doesn't work, there are things like SNI inspection that can do the trick.

If the business in question has no legal representation within the country, blocking payment providers and other services operating within the country from doing business with them is often an easy way to cut off access. This is probably not going to affect Element much, but if such restrictions come from a more economically influential trading bloc (USA, EU, etc.) international companies may be in more trouble.

An example of this is trade with Iran; in many countries there aren't many noticeable sanctions, but doing trade will put you on the naughty list of the USA and that can be a significant problem with the American influence on things like payment providers and the internet.
Switching off a paywall may be like becoming a startup again --- only worse. Instead of zero recognition, they may now have negative recognition.

We've been happily using Crystal in production at Heii On-Call (free website / cron job monitoring, free critical alerting to iOS/Android apps, on-call scheduling) [1] specifically for higher-throughput components of the overall system, such as the API server [2] and the system that continuously does website monitoring [3]. For context, we do use Ruby on Rails for the main website frontend.

Really I find Crystal to be so much more ergonomic and pleasant to use than Go or Rust, though I could see that being a matter of opinion. Very concise, very readable, very fast once compiled.

Porting utility classes from Ruby is so easy too. I end up spending more time porting unit tests than porting the underlying code. And the testing story (Crystal's "spec" [4]) is really nice.

If you want to try Crystal without installing anything, I made a "crystal-docker-quickstart" project template you can clone [5]. You can safely try out Crystal and have your first static binary compiled in about 15 seconds via something like:

git clone https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart.git my_app
cd my_app
./d_dev
make && out/my_app

Lastly, I've found that the Crystal community [6] is small but friendly and helpful. It's at that magical stage of an open source community where people are extremely competent and responsive, but not (yet?) burned out from dealing with so many people.

Why not just have a GPT model instead of the mailserver, just ask it about your new e-mails or ask it to tell something to your colleague when something happens. Have async meetings with the AI and just ask it for the meeting results based on how many participants took part in the meeting so far.

not a lawyer, but here's my naive interpretation based on living in a society that uses it.

'copyright' seems to refer to a specific string of symbols. literary or musical styles can't be copyrighted, but individual sequences of letters or notes can. Basically, if a derivative work copypasted without adding anything, it's considered plagiarism and/or violation of copyright.

Weights in a model would similarly be a long string of symbols that someone went to considerable trouble to collate and therefore fall under copyright.

My view is that it's not my business the form of government that another country takes for its internal affairs.

Ask HN: What’s bad about C++? I kinda like it
I’m new to C++ so I’m using a very limited subset no doubt.

There has been a few fiddly bits and a few surprises. But for the most part it doesn’t seem as hard as I’d expected or been led to believe. Actually it feels pretty nice.

Why do people hate on C++? Presumably I’ll find out if I try to get more advanced. Having said that I’m finding I don’t really need much more than what I’m using already.

Honestly it doesn’t feel too different to javascript.

So why don’t people like C++?
