I edited to clarify that important detail, thank you.
And you're convinced that this is good for us?
This is a good question. But it is worth noting that not everything has to scale globally.

E.g. in iroh-sync (which is an experimental impl of the willow protocol) you are not concerned with global scaling. You care only about nodes that are in the same document.

So while if you request hash QmciUVE1BqKPXMSvTTGwHZo1ywYdZRm9FfBvEJkB6J4USb via ipfs, you are trying to globally find anybody that has this hash, which is a very difficult task.

If you ask for some content-addressed data in an iroh document, you know to only ask nodes that participate in this particular document, which makes the task much easier.

Edit: regarding clients, iroh is released for osx, windows and linux. Iroh as a library also works on ios. Download instructions are here: https://iroh.computer/docs/install

Agreed, but some of these surveys quoted are troublesome.

> A survey of a school district in Virginia found that about a third of teachers were telling students to put away their cellphones five to 10 times a class, and 14.7% did so more than 20 times a class.

> When a middle school in Canada surveyed staff, 75% of respondents thought that cellphones were negatively affecting their students’ physical and mental health. Nearly two-thirds believed the devices were adversely affecting academic performances as well.
I'm saying that because I actually tried. There are Obsidian and customizable markdown modes/plugins for both Emacs and VSCode. My notes are usually cross-referenced, have pictures, occasional Mermaid diagrams, and are often heavy on math and code.

The same can be said about any other open format, I guess. There's no free lunch, you're always locked in by the implementation/workflow details, and have to write actual code (or use the code written by someone else) to migrate off to a different tool. The point is to not be locked by the format obfuscation or the storage.

Children, by and large, are not very good at self control. Give them free reign to learn at their own pace, and you will see some do very well, and many do extremely poorly.

The public education system (at least primary/secondary) is not about maximizing a few students' learning potential, but the average education of the collective.

Our current system does need major reforms, but to send kids home with phones to learn on their own? Not an effective solution imo.

Well, depending on whether one considers the output of one of the AI image diffusion algorithms "art"... Not anymore, right? That's rather the point of the debate? That we've gone over a few decades from a world of "This wall is blank. Maybe I'll go to the art show and find a piece someone made, or commission a piece based on an idea in my head" to "This wall is blank. Maybe I'll spend two hours futzing with DALL-E and send the result off to a local print-shop, then pop it over to Michael's and frame it?"

I have one part approval for this (back in my day, off my lawn, etc). But I also think about how many general tools cell phones replace, and the sudden added cost is a concern.

Flashlight. Probably not necessary 99% of the time at a school, until it is valuable.

Calculator. "Approved" graphing calculator replacements are stupid expensive, in many cases more expensive than the phone they're replacing.

Camera. We didn't have a ton of these at schools in the 80's, but they weren't entirely absent either. Useful for documenting (and yes, perpetuating) bullying.

Music. Even in the stone ages, we had music and headphones. Great for study hall and general focus.

Dictionary/Encyclopedia. Sure, folks can use bound volumes, but that's not a skill they'll use. Searching for things on the internet at large, is absolutely a skill they need.

Anyways, mixed thoughts. I'd say I turned out fine, but I had to re-learn a lot of mis-information innocently passed on by my peers and teachers.

Khronos is inherently unable to be ahead since it is a consortium of vendors with stakes in computer graphics. Khronos APIs are standardizations and/or abstractions on top of the platform-specific APIs, and new APIs and features usually start out as vendor extensions. They get standardized only when they get stabilized and adopted by other vendors.

This is exactly what happened with mesh shaders - nVidia shipped the first hardware, but the extensions could rightfully not be uplifted to a standard API before other vendors also delivered implementations, as that could inconvenience their efforts.

Attribution of systematic failures to individuals typically overlooks the power of incentives.

Academics need funding, funding allows them to keep going. Institutions that academics work for have bloated overheads typically going to admins who are tiered in such a way that there is just a single admin at every level.

As the overheads go up, the pressure to publish and win awards does too. Most awards for public research say you can take up to 7% of the award as unobligated funds. The result is that institutions want higher operating costs, to push the bottom line and increase their 7% share.

You’re not including the fact that they need some sort of wonky website for you to upload photos and add Podcasts. So it’s not just the phone they’re building but the whole infrastructure behind it.

And if what you said is true, then why give these kids light phones in the first place. I’m almost wondering if someone from the light phone company has some connection with that school.

I’ve written off Zettelkasten. It’s not for me. It seems to be optimized for turning notes into publications, but that’s not my own goal behind taking notes. For me, good ol’ wiki style interlinking is much more useful (and vastly easier). I use the “Map of Content” ideas to have a few quick indexes, like “Current work projects” or “orders from restaurants we like”, but that’s about the most formal organization I do.

If I had a career in writing, I might seriously consider Zettelkasten. But even then, I’d be cautious with its output. I’ve seen some results that looked like it was great for shoving words onto paper, so long as you don’t worry about the quality of the end result.

Another webpage compares Willow to other protocols like IPFS: https://willowprotocol.org/more/compare/index.html#willow_co...

According to them, data on IPFS is immutable, stateless, and globally-namespaced, whereas data on Willow is mutable, stateful, and conditionally-namespaced. I interpret Willow as an authenticated, permissioned, content-based, globally-addressed, distributed database system, where an address has the hierarchy and expressiveness of a URL.

One particularly nice feature about the documentation: if you hover over an underlined word (https://willowprotocol.org/specs/data-model/index.html#data_...), a pop-up box provides a definition or explanation. Importantly, some terms in the pop-up are underlined themselves, so you can dig down into the terminology with great ease. More projects should implement this functionality.

I think the most cost effective solution is probably buying the cheapest used A12+ iPhone one could find. Factory restore, then setup Assistive Access or parental controls, which can limit any ability to install apps or settings without a different passcode to unlock the phone. Have a friend or partner set that passcode so you can't be tempted to add anything smart to your Dumb Phone.

> This is the Internet and saying this is free.

Once again implying that I'm a liar...

You're talking to someone who spent N years, for uncomfortably large N, as a grad student in a philosophy PhD program, so it ought to be very obvious that I'm not a ruthless wealth maximizer. In fact, I still have student loan debt from that undertaking.

> There is no big distinction between the 'poor' and the 'rich' in terms of their behaviour to maximize their income while bending the rules as much as possible.

It's true that there are a lot of unethical poor and middle class people. (Also a lot of ethical poor and middle class people.) My earlier suggestion, though, is that there's a correlation between wealth and lack of ethics, because "our economic system tends to select for people who are unethical and ruthless".

> I maintain that you have no decent argument to make in defence of this opinion of yours. To claim that working harder is not correlated to financial reward is completely indefensible.

You still, after repeated prompting, resolutely refuse to explain exactly what you mean by "hard work", so how would it even be possible for me to make any argument or defense at all? It ought to be clear from how I earlier characterized hard work (e.g., manual labor) that there's no correlation. You claimed that my characterization was silly, but it's become ridiculous how you won't say anything more about it.

Perhaps what you want to say, or at least ought to say, is that some people have more natural abilities than other people, which is absolutely true, and thus some people are capable of accomplishing things that are impossible for other people, which is also true. But I wouldn't characterize that as "hard" work, at least not for the person with special abilities. To the contrary, things come easier to them. It's only hard for the people who don't have those natural abilities. I could work as "hard" as I possibly could, to the very edge of my abilities, and never become a professional guitar player or a professional tennis player (much to my dismay), because I simply don't have enough talent.

> I'm not sure why this would be imporant. Nuanced views are rarely 'in the majority'.

It's important because you seem to consider your own views as axiomatic and in need of no defense.

> You described anyone looking to be rich as simply greedy and basically mentally ill (I forget the exact term).

Pathological. But I didn't say "simply".

> would an electric car company, followed by a rocket company, be the obvious way to increase that wealth?

Why would it need to be "obvious"? There's no obvious way to become ultra-wealthy, otherwise everyone would do the obvious.

Vast majority of the CS grads won't even need to use most of what theyre taught, when they finally land a job. Facts are that most of the jobs available are the jobs that you call "cushy tech jobs". Where you can go by with having a 2-3 year long programming focused schooling.

Only quite niche type of tech jobs today require exactly what CS teaches.
It depends on how many files you have, but also the file size. My understanding is that IPFS splits files into 256kB chunks with a content ID (CID), and then when you expose your project, it tries to advertise every CID of every file to peers.

200,000 files could take a while to advertise, but from memory it should work, should hang for less than 15 minutes. But depending on your hardware, file size, quality of connection to your peers, alignment of planets, etc.

If you add one order of magnitude above that, it starts to become tricky. Manageable if you shard over several nodes and look for workarounds for perf issues. But if you keep growing a bit past that point, it can't keep up with publishing every small chunk of every file one by one fast enough.

But it's also very possible perf has improved since the last time I tried it, so definitely take this with a grain of salt, you might want to try installing and running the publish command and see what happens.
