ActivityStreams just requires an object to have a unique URI. ActivityPub says it "should" be a https URI. However, since this URI is expected to be both unique and unchanging (if you put up the same content with a different id, it's a different object), you can choose to use it as the input to a hash function and put the posts in a content-addressable store.

Mastodon will already check the local server first if you paste the URL of a post from another server in the Mastodon search bar, so it's already sort-of doing this, but only with the local server.

So you can already do that with ActivityPub. If it becomes a need, people will consider it. There's already been more than one discussion about variations over this.

(EDIT: More so than an improvement on scaling this would be helpful in ensuring there's a mechanism for posts to still be reachable by looking up their original URI after a user moves off a - possibly closing - server, though)

The Fediverse also uses signatures, though they're not always passed on - fixing that (ensuring the JSON-LD signature is always carried with the post) would be nice.

Many women with life threatening conditions get stuck waiting for the inevitable because they have already created evidence by going to a doctor. If anything happens to the baby without evidence of natural causes, they can be prosecuted. This has put women in a tough place.

Really cool. I cannot tell which images are accurate color and if some are false color. I don't know enough about space photography to spot it without labeling. One caption of one image seems to indicate there is some false color (the one that says HI=Blue(false color)?). Are the rest of the images fairly color-accurate? Or are all of the images color-enhanced somehow, too?

I love images from astronomy, but I wish it was generally made clearer when color enhancement is and is not used.

Beyond ChatGPT: Exploring the OpenAI Platform
My 5G modem needed some AT commands (AT^CUSTOMER among others) to be made compatible with the linux kernel. It turns out the exact same Foxconn device is rebranded HP, Dell, Telit and possibly some other by simply running AT^CUSTOMER=1(Dell), 2(Telit), 4(HP). The HP variant wasn't compatible with Linux, but the Dell one was.

There's large forums such as wirelessjoint, ispreview and sierra where AT is still extremely relevant.

Syntax is one thing, but as others have mentioned it's more than that. Libraries, tooling, IDE and perhaps also knowing the ideosyncracies and pitfalls, and how to recover from them.

I'm very comfortable in Matlab and often know immediately what's wrong when I hit those oddities. In Python it usually means I spend considerable time googling and tinkering before I even understand what I did wrong because I have far less experience... Same when I tinker with Julia.

And for some people it being a Real Programming Language may be a disadvantage actually... Typically means you need a better understanding than just type-and-run.

> It’s not senseless since they have explained the reasons at length, albeit their adversaries refused to listen.

Ah yes the Russians are telling the truth this time guys, I promise, they are totally not lying about why they are invading Ukraine.

> The goal is to prevent a NATO giant air carrier on its borders.

Finland joining NATO kinda makes this a reality no?.

> The war will continue until those that don’t want to listen will start listening.

This 3 day war has already lasted over a year, and with losses so high by Russia that they are fielding T62's against Ukraine.

I don't think Russia can afford to wage this war for many more years, unless they start fielding those parade T34's but I don't think that will go so well.

Also why should anyone listen to Russia? there border with NATO just increased massively, and yet I don't see them doing anything about that.

> Perhaps war must come to their countries for them to do so.

Perhaps Russia should focus on trying to capture a city thats 250KM from their border before they threaten countries they aren't literally on their doorstep with war.

> EU citizens have no freedom of speech

I was thinking exactly that the other day, while watching a TV show on national publicly funded television, where a variety of pundits where discussing the first year of the present term of the ruling president, and the on-set comedian summed up the situation : "the panel and the country is split in two : those that don't like the ruler, and those who hate him".

The youngest panelist (a twitch political streamer) argued about constitution changes with an older panelist (journalist in a far right newspaper). The table was filled with various levels of right center, vaguely socio democrats, a few has been still stuck in the 70s, etc...

Everyone talked very loudly and eloquently.

We may lack direct power, direct control over our institution, we may live in tight societies with few chances of social mobility, we definitely have press ownership issues, etc...

But for one think, i believe we have _some_ freedom of speech.

No, I'll leave the floor to those who define "free speech" as "the freedom to insult" :P
Sadly, like most web application devs these days, most Mastodon frontends require Javascript to function. There are a few smaller projects that don't but there's no nitter.net for Mastodon just yet. The people behind Mastodon don't seem to have any interest in server side rendering at least.

It's even less true for Forth, given that it has separate data and return address stacks, and neither is addressable. There is some dedicated Forth hardware that relies on this fact to separate the stacks physically in hardware and e.g. use SRAM for them.
It's conceivable that after spending hours every day hanging out in person after school and more hours in the evening on their (loud) group chats, that they secretly engage with randos on Discord. But it's not naive to believe that we've enabled a healthy social environment, warned about strangers/etc online, and (my wife) is incredibly communicative with them about their daily lives.

I'm sure there's lots of other pitfalls they'll fall into despite our best efforts. But rando chats is unlikely to be the one.

Hell, I wouldn't spend my own time arguing with strangers on HN if I had an active friend group like them!

To be fair, you can have two products that uses different technologies but have a similar UI/UX, and in a way BlueSky is more similar to Twitter than to Mastodon, UI/UX-wise.

And to be honest it's a good thing: many non-tech friends were a bit confused about Mastodon, where you have to understand parts of the technology behind to do basic things (like follow someone from another instance, IIRC). BlueSky is (currently) a bit more friendly UI/UX-wise. I don't know how that will evolve with more instances, though. I also found that discovering people was easier, but YMMV.
It's very interesting that tiktok allows adding links to twitter/instagram/youtube and other sites right at the profile page.

I thought they added smelly stuff (mercaptan) to natural gas, precisely because methane doesn't smell.
Thanks for the tip. We have considered it. Its likely the place to go once we iron out development/product. Its just unfortunate that the basics of such a CI setup is trivial to set up "in-house", for everything except software targeting apple hardware.
I love my Hokas, they have different models which cater to differently-shaped and differently used feet. Some people love minimalism, but if I push hard enough (which isn't hard at all), on hard surfaces and without much padding, I develop pain which I would categorize as tendon being stretched too much. I can get it also from just walking on tarmac sidewalks in hard shoes for long enough.

Doesn't happen in Hokas, at all. They basically allow me to run as much as I can, or have multiple-hour walks almost every evening. Another good ones, for me just for walking, are La Sportiva Raptor - seemingly one of few manufacturers that caters to sporty people with wide feet.

What would a distributed agreement do that isn't achieved by the existing multiple logs per cert?
I believe the OP is referring to historical contribution to climate change by different countries. There's an article about this on Our World In Data:

Who has contributed most to global CO2 emissions?

>> There’s not only significant variability in how much CO2 countries emit across the world today. There are also large differences in how much each has emitted in the past. Who has contributed most to global CO2 since 1750?

https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2

The graph at the top of the article makes it clear that, historically, the regions that have contributed the most to climate change (to make it plain: the countries directly responsible for it) are the US and the EU countries. The US alone has contributed as much CO2 as all Asian countries together.

That doesn't mean Asia will suffer less than anyone else from a changing climate, but pointing the finger at China as the biggest polluter is kind of missing the point, and probably an attempt to deflect responsibility to avoid doing what must be done (edit: not by you, obviously).
Funny, you could say the same about people too, including experts who have misaligned incentives.
(More/stronger) ECC would seem a better choice. What am I missing?
> Even names often require an explanation

You can still write the name in Hanyu Pinyin or Zhuyin perfectly fine. It is just that we like character names and that most characters are valid to be used in names so there is a lot more flexibility in what can be a name versus other cultures where there is a less flexible set of names. You can still do something similar in English where you say your name is "rainbow" but you spell it "rhaynbeau", people aren't going to be able to guess that.

> given the small space of possible sounds

Again, see languages like Hawaiian and Vietnamese. They also have small sets of sounds and do fine with romanization.

> Have you ever tried reading an essay or book in pinyin? With syllabic spacing?

Yup, it is just that most people are used to reading Chinese characters and not in romanized Mandarin. There may be other advantages to Chinese characters like quicker recognition and occupying a smaller space, and I am not trying to advocate for eradication of Chinese characters, but I want to stress that is perfectly possible to read and write Mandarin phonetically and characters are not essential.

Also I read and write Taiwanese (Hokkien) in romanized form. Feels like a waste of time to worry about characters, but many people do and end up not writing Taiwanese or using mixed script.

For what it's worth, when a server does go down and thousands of people start uploading their 50k skeets that all need to be cryptographically verified, other major servers will have quite the scaling challenge. Cryptographic verification is intentionally compute heavy after all.

50k entries isn't a whole lot but as people hosting Mastodon servers have found out, things start slowing down when 1000 people transfer those 50k entries at the same time.
It's at least more coherent than what you wrote.
In my above comment, in order to acertain the data and compare India's statistics to those of the US, I tried googling it, but could not seem to find any reliable answers. As an alternative, I decided to use ChatGPT.

Unfortunately, I did not do my due diligence and visit each link - the links seemed to be authentic, and I went along with it. ChatGPT gave me the number 41 and the links that I have mentioned above.

Now that you have pointed it out, I tried visiting those links and the pages seem to not exist. I also put them in the Wayback Machine, which says it hasn't archived them.

That's why you'll notice the statistics are for 2019 - the pandemic is not yet part of the equation and I expected ChatGPT to have information for 2019.

I fear ChatGPT may have 'hallucinated' the data and the links. I can't seem to find a reliable source for the 41 lynchings. As such, my comment above stands moot, and I hope it is ignored - I can't seem to find the delete option.

I do sincerely apologize. It was not my intention to spread misinformation. I didn't do my due diligence, and now know better.
I wrote code for a PC and an embedded system to use modems -- relatively simple stuff like dial up, hang up, wait for a call, set baud rate. Nothing fancy.

We tested about 10 different modems. All of them had their own unique bugs I had to work around. Or maybe one of them didn't have any bugs (that I ran into) -- it's been thirty years.
Indeed, that would be amusing. But I'm a big fan of getting as much life as possible out of hardware and seeing a whole pile of things unnecessarily dumped is a big ecological impact and that needs to be weighed against the advantages. And it will be hard to judge the impact without actually doing it.
That was a very well-thought out comment, and I learned new things! Thanks!

The strange thing to me that gives me weird feels despite the science is that I’m never had an ssd die that I installed. And I’m no Linus of LTT here.

Plenty of apple machines and etc have needed a catastrophic replacement. That just throws off my ability to make rational decisions about it at times.

“Dude! That SSD was premium priced, what the heck? Thermal failure?”

What's your solution for letting a citation be easily parsed within the flow of text?

E.g. if I was reading an article and saw (Jmole et al 2020)--and was familiar with the field--I could easily continue on with an idea of what your paper contained.

If you cite using numbers (as is common in my field, engineering), then the current paper becomes a bit easier to read, but you lose the flow if you need to jump back and forth to the references (e.g. what is [0]? oh, it's jmole 2020, oh where was I in the methods?) and need to rebuild your mental model.
Given that functional localization varies widely from subject to subject per modern neuroimaging, how are split brain experiments more than crude attempts to confirm functional specialization (which is already confirmed without traumatically severing a corpus callosum) "hemispheric" or "lateral"?

Neuroimaging indicates high levels of redundancy and variance in spatiotemporal activation.

Studies of cortices and other tissues have already shown that much of the neural tissue of the brain is general purpose.

Why is executive functioning significantly but not exclusively in the tissue of the forebrain, the frontal lobes?
> "In an experiment, I asked 40 questions about PostgreSQL. 23 came back with misleading or simply inaccurate information. Of those, 9 came back with answers that would have caused (at best) performance issues. One of the answers could result in a corrupted database (deleting WAL files to recover disk space)."

I am curious if these tests could be written down and also tested with some versions of GPT (2, 3, 3.5, 4) not because I think they will solve it but to see some trend, and to have a new benchmark if we see 4.5 or 5. Or maybe even test with the 'Code Interpreter' plugin.
Cosmic rays are common. There is a detector exposed to the public in the Toledo metro station at Naples, Italy. It's placed 40 meters underground. In this short video you can see 2 cosmic rays passing by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_puq6U7khg
That sounds great actually.
I'm not convinced by this argument. In practice, errors on consumer hardware seem to be several orders of magnitude less common than implied by the paper. If they weren't, we'd be hearing anecdotes of one-character diffs appearing out of nowhere all the time, among many other issues.

It's hard to see how this could be explained away with the slight increase in RAM densities since 2008, or different temperatures in data centers (plenty of individuals run their systems crazy hot, e.g. when the tower is stuffed with dust after years without cleaning).
> they encourage inefficient use of land in urban environments

I think that depends on which country/state you are in.

In the UK, I'm sure there are people who want to turn everywhere into a market garden. However the permaculture hippies that I grew up with were far more pragmatic. They used the land that was near by and not being used.

But as you point out, there is a mix of opinion, and it all needs to be critically evaluated.
No one outside HN cares about AT Protocol either, they just want Twitter 2.0 and have found a promising exclusive club over at BlueSky. I doubt anyone but a small minority of BS users will even know that you can theoretically run your own server and that eventually other servers will join the network.
> The thing about html is that it's a verbose text format on the surface, but it compresses incredibly easily, and support for gzip is widespread. If you're concerned about size, brotli is better again.

That's why I said it wastes 15%, not 100%. Whenever text-based formats and binary formats are compared, the results after compression (of both) are usually in that range. You can debate those precise numbers, they might be lower for the brotli/HTML combination. That won't really change the point I was making in context: That a few extra bytes for backwards compatibility in the TLS handshake pale in comparison to the amount of waste we accept for encoding the payload.

The name-calling is uncalled for.

To elaborate, seL4 claims to be the fastest kernel around[0], a claim that remains unchallenged.

To put it into context, the difference in IPC speed is such that you'd need an order of magnitude more IPC for a multiserver system based on seL4 to actually be slower than Linux.

A multiserver design would imply increased IPC use, but not an order of magnitude.

> normal users

You (probably) and I have both had a more tech oriented upbringing. Current and future urban generations seem to be more tech oriented, anyway, so perhaps we, who probably form the majority of tech consumers, will become these "normal users" we condescendingly refer to in this forum.

With sufficient investment in education or at least awareness, the "normal users" may eventually be privacy and freedom oriented.
But it should be applicable to EC2 instances, no? I have seen instances running for multiple months quite a bit of time. If there 1000s of random bit flip for any app, I think we should assume it is not running what we expect it to be running.

And if I may expand on this, if someone conflates thanking and apologizing and/or associates both with weakness, it has profound implications for how that person will behave within a society. It may (at least partly) explain why there is so little "instinctive" kindness towards other people, especially when these people are not part of your social circle or they are "abstract" (i.e. when they are featured in the media).
Yes for renting an instance from AWS. Minimum lease time is 24H iirc. But that's not the case for Github Actions (and so I assume Azure Pipelines). You pay per minute, it's just 10x the cost of an Ubuntu instance.

Interesting. About two weeks ago at the HIMMS conference (Healthcare Information and Management Systems) in Chicago I ran into this. DID has crypto stink on it and people are actively avoiding it as a result. In this case it was the CTO of an established US consortium involved with CMS standards.

This is a shame and it seems irrational to me. Is W3's work on DID doomed? Do they know just how bad the optics of DID are?

You jest, but they actually could be. One scenario would be for insiders to trade on the information after they released it publicly. So the temporary obfuscation might give them time to trade before the news had time to affect the stock.
