EdDSA signatures are not Schnorr signatures. A Schnorr signature is dlog proof made non interactive with fiat Shamir binded with the message, and that is equivalent/verifiable as an EdDSA signature, up to one time signing per message (as Schnorr is not deterministic)

EdDSA being deterministic, means it’s not Schnorr by definition.

The other difference of EdDSA is having a different keygen process: SHA512 then clamp the first 32 bytes (and this process breaks down all additive key derivation that’s nice to have) clamping is not the problem and you have to clear cofactors for Schnorr over that curve anyway, but it’s the hashing at the beginning that’s different and has nothing to do with cofactor clearing.

The other difference of EdDSA is not having a standardized verifier (keywords are “cofactored” and “cofactorless” verifier) and this breaks down another nice property of Schnorr signatures which is signature aggregation.

Overall the standards for EdDSA -unfortunately- still leave a lot to be desired.

Honestly, youre doing great. At the very early point in your career that you are at, it is normal and expected that you dont know much. The important thing is that you just keep learning.

There will always be people that are smarter than you. Perhaps even better at your job than you are (currently) in every way. Dont let it get to you; there's nothing wrong with not being the very best. There's also the old saying that "comparison is the theif of joy" (idk who said it, but it has truth). The hardest part is accepting it's ok not to know something; you can always learn it if it interests you.

About: I am a software developer who is fascinated with understanding and practicing computer science. Functional programming, processor architectures, and operating systems are the main areas that left me in awe. I am deeply interested in proactively going to unknown territories, investigating new technologies and programming languages. Regardless of the tool and nature, my goal is to express art whilst programming, i.e., solving problems in an elegant manner.
AFAICT (just checked) it hasn't actually hit Android yet. Apparently iOS users got a jump on everyone else. I'm sure as soon as there's a web version my existing Facebook feed will be practically papered over with announcements.
It doesn't have to, hire some artists and writers and sound designers to train a model based on work for hire.
Same thing, ad free and from source itself - https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/493178/teachers-shocked-...

It’s a draft for a reason. It was shared with 5 people who leaked it.

A high level draft is missing keywords like matter and particles...
Mine happened a long time ago and the industry was very different, but there are echoes of it in some of the other comments here. I'd say, build a project and ship it to customers. The feelings of accomplishment and agency from doing that were a tremendous boost to me. Even though I knew my code was iffy at best.

It's fine if you're collaborating with someone else or a team, as long as there are some good-sized chunks in there that you can point to and say "I did that part." Your customer might only be a different team in your company. The point is that you created something that had an impact on other people.

PS I'd also suggest: Take some time and build something small in assembly language. Getting even a bit of a feeling for how the CPU actually interacts with memory and registers and math and branching will give you a completely different perspective on higher-level languages.

Gas-powered fridges and coolers have existed for about two hundred years and are still a normal technology today - often used for camping and off-grid life.

Here's a whole bunch of propane fridges for your viewing pleasure: https://bensdiscountsupply.com/collections/propane-refrigera...
2-4x seems like a stretch, and would only apply in areas with very high electric rates. My last house was heated with a builder-grade heat pump (HSPF around 8), and my winter electric bills were around $150-200/mo. My current house has natural gas heat, and similar level of appliances/EVs/lighting, and winter bills electric bills are around $100/mo. This is the same town and the electric rate didn’t change, so the net cost of heating my old house with a heat pump was only $50-$100/mo. Meanwhile my winter gas bill in this house, subtracting baseline summer usage, runs more than that.

The only backup heat I had with the heat pump was electric resistance heat, which I needed to use only once or twice each winter for a few hours at a time.

I think hooks made sense, as they gave React the last inch of control over the user call stack to make better, more uniform scheduling decisions; Solid.js demonstrates the idea more clearly in much more idiomatic JavaScript. However, their messaging and documentation were not at all clear for me at launch, to the point that I refused to interact with them for years.

The rest though, yeah, I dunno
Yes, but you picked the the most interesting desert. Doing this to one particular area that is already ruined (the salton sea) in a desert with far less wildlife is worth discussing.

Well, I can see linked post from a browser, with no login.

That is something.
I mean I know people who seem to get in an accident once in a while — sometimes completely their fault — and other people who have driven 20 years everywhere and clearly drive better and react quicker than anyone else I know.

So by all means, someone doing something or not doesn’t mean much.
There's a lot to sort through there - anyone have any recommendations/anything worth highlighting?

This might be an intentional interpretation of the plugin authors.

Meaning they potentially took the reasoning "in order to prevent destruction actions" to inversely mean that non-destructive POST requests must be OK then and do not require a prompt. Plenty of POST search APIs out there to get around path length limitations and such.

That is probably not the intended meaning but a valid enough if kind of tongue in cheek-we-will-do-as-we-please-following-the-letter-only implementation. And like the author found even creative a d not destructive actions can be surprising and unwanted. But isn't this what AI would ultimately be about?

Nuclear desalination like on naval ships is the answer. US and Russian ships already have the technology, it just needs to be scaled for use on land.
Hey: MANY, MANY, MANY THANKS!!!

Nuclear energy has entered the chat

Why not use nuclear power plants to power desalination plants? I even wonder if some of the salt from the brine could be fed into certain types of nuclear reactors (Molten Salt Reactors and the like, possibly) making it an even more symbiotic relationship

in practice, they just make you sign a notice and consent form in order to receive care. if all the local hospitals do this (and they do) then you no longer have any option but to sign the form.

we really need to eliminate this absolutely ludicrous distinction legislatively.

EDIT: i stand corrected with regard to anesthesiologists. I maintain that hospitals and providers are quickly learning how to maneuver patients into scenarios where they will be subjected to surprise billing anyway. I also maintain that the concept of out-of-network services is mostly ridiculous, since the median patient is very rarely in a position to make actual choices about most of the care they receive.
The best design tool I’ve used is gravity sketch with the oculus quest. Generally I don’t think VR is that great but once the UI and UX are perfected designing physical things will be far superior in VR.

With 2D things like websites I still find sketching to be the best tool.

Ideally there would be a nice app that lets you sketch and create forks of sketches when certain things are pressed. balsamiq does this but the UX isn’t good enough imho.

Even normal seawater has toxic concentrations of salt:

“seawater's sodium concentration is above the kidney's maximum concentrating ability. Eventually the blood's sodium concentration rises to toxic levels, removing water from cells and interfering with nerve conduction, ultimately producing a fatal seizure and cardiac arrhythmia.”

The whole selling point of AI is to not have to hire artists, writers and sound designers. If you're going to do that anyway, just have them create art, write and design sound.

Yes, but they'd have had to rip out everything from all of the external contributors, and that'd be a big enough deal that it'd probably change their mind.

Doesn’t really matter. If the US Coast Guard really wants to board you, there are no warships coming to your defense.

The USCG hunts down drug runners in intentional waters all the time. They have snipers in helicopters who can take out the engines on speedboats. Once they are disabled, an armed boarding party from a ship collects the crew.

For larger ships, the US doesn’t need a messy show of force. We can politely ask a friendly nation to seize the ship and detain the crew in their waters. It’s all nice and legal.
Parking requirements are a big reason
Part of this is because we build houses that are terribly suited for warm climates.

I used to work in the Middle East, and their traditional structures with central pool and windcatcher/chimney design remained quite livable even when it was over 45°C outside, with zero active cooling.

Suppose I start a debate club in my living room.

Do I have a right to say "Only my friends can join my debate club"? Do I have a right to say "Children of past participants are always welcome here"? Do I have a right to say "Max occupancy: 1800"?

Most people would say "Yes" to these things.

What if I hire some marketing experts, and eventually my debate club has a really good "brand" and all sorts of companies want to hire participants at enormous salaries for highly influential positions? Once my debate club is a gateway to money, power and influence, do I still have the right to admit who I want? Or does my branding success somehow create an obligation to make admissions meritocratic, rather than some other kind of -cratic (e.g. autocratic, "My debate club, I decide, and that's the end of it," or aristocratic, "Children of members have an easy path to membership", or plutocratic, "Money talks")?

At what point does Harvard become different from my debate club?

What exactly creates a moral (and perhaps legal) obligation that trumps "My debate club, my rules," and necessarily places corresponding limits on Harvard's freedom of association?

I use ChatGPT extensively every day and I have just one plug-in enabled (Wolfram) which does not require logging in or write access. I don't think I would ever enable a plugin which I suspect might have destructive effects. It just feels like a bridge too far.

I actually do not think I will in the next few years. I can just do the actions myself and I prefer that ChatGPT cannot impersonate me.

I was actually beginning to wonder if my intuition was wrong since so many seem to be using the plugins well, but I get good enough results without. I shall wait until better permission-handling is provided.
Having worked there, it's probably more of a gradual-rollout thing. I guess Gatekeeper hadn't added my "social hash" to the enabled range yet.
My early impressions:

Interface is clean and easy to use/intuitive

Not seeing an ad or sponsored posts every 2nd or 3rd story is refreshing, wondering how long that lasts

No web app to boot ? Wtf disappointed no web ui yet but hoping that changes and changes soon

Also no other way to login apart from instagram ? That’s strange , was hoping for standalone login , hoping it’s eventually rolled out

No way to change username even after linking instagram username, this is imho a dumb move, I was late to the instagram party and missed out on shorter username and now was hoping joining threads early would help me get my desired username but alas

I noticed the highlighted replies feature where celebrity replies are expanded below some threads , it’s probably a good feature just feel they could have a way of turning it off, I’d rather click into a story to surface those and maximize stories per page and reduce scrolling

All in all seems like a decent twitter clone, and lots of features missing but definitely a good start.

I don’t think this will cause people to drop react. I think it will cause people to just ignore this new thing and carry on like they were before.
I wrote a terminal-agnostic approximation of that called tmuxc - https://github.com/zdykstra/tmuxc . It's very much tailored my exact workflow, mainly because nobody else seems interested in it.

That makes sense. It certainly seems to have a lot more content than Bluesky already, but maybe it's just the algorithm.
Analysis paralysis is very cruel. Many of my side projects died because of this, or just got stuck in development hell, even while interest was high.

I feel i'm going to open source this so people can add their own functionality. I will need to refactor first since I just hacked this together rather quickly.

For those, like me, who didn't know this term:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

> The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required.[1][2] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs.

Your phone offers the best opportunity to collect surveillance data, especially since you take it everywhere and provide a constant feed of your location.

Ask HN: Why do no Windows laptops have a trackpad as nice as the MBP?
I have recently swapped my work MBP M1 Pro for a Dell Precision 5570 running Linux and all of my programming workflows are faster.

When plugged into a dock and used as a desktop workstation, it's as good as any Linux desktop and superior to my MBP for programming.

Though I really appreciated the performance, noise and battery life of the MBP and have been using a Mac professionally for 6 years - it ultimately no longer matches my requirements.

Additionally, I couldn't use it for both work and play, forcing me to carry a second gaming laptop when I travelled. I guess support for Windows or Linux with full HW acceleration would solve this, but that's not due for several years if ever.

That said, I regularly work from libraries and cafes so the feel of the laptop is important.

The Dell, despite being a premium laptop has a trackpad that is exhausting to use. It's inaccurate, insensitive, and the mechanical clicks feel terrible (both on Windows and Linux).

The keyboard is fine, the screen is great, though the speakers are really poor.

Are there any PC notebooks that rival the feel of the MBP?

Why are manufacturers seemingly incapable of making a laptop that is as nice to use as a MBP?

Surely their QA teams have used MacBooks and a company the size of Dell could just make it happen if they wanted?

Do Apple patents simply prevent anyone else from being able to make a haptic trackpad?
