Isn't the issue that there's zero standards for a single signed photo?

I agree trusting the author is an issue. It's certainly more of an issue the way PGP keys work today for normal people. The idea of a Web of Trust that the GnuPG documentation talk about could just be taken to a pretty obvious web 2.0 conclusion.

A website that associates an authorized identify to signing keys. 80% of the problem gets solved when large companies sign their photos, OpenAI signs Sora generated videos, Canon produces keys for every camera that can be registered with the owner, etc. People certify each other as real individuals. People start establishing histories of producing trusted signed content. Users flag keys/identities as fraudulent. The network gets stronger the more its used and soon enough it gets easy to spot an outlier.
The good thing about math is that it's possible to verify the result in many cases even if the method used to produce the result is too difficult to understand. Also, if I ask ChatGPT & Gemini to walk me through the problem step-by-step, I know enough to follow and detect errors. E.g, Gemini kept getting errors because it used the wrong starting potential energy for a pendulum and assumed the pendulum had a max PE of 0 at the top of the swing (and a negative PE at the bottom) which caused it to have a max velocity of 0 due to incorrectly applying the conservation of energy.

But you're right that someone who doesn't understand a subject should be wary of trusting LLMs to teach the subject.
Apple encourages it heavily and even hosts workshops about how to do subscription apps.
You can now rent Lego sets
LEGO has gotten insanely expensive in recent years, and it's gotten out of reach for a lot of people. That's why I decided to create a LEGO rental service, where you can rent some of the best sets ever released for a fraction of the price of buying them.

If you're nostalgic about your childhood LEGO fun, and you find it hard to justify spending hundreds of dollars, this might be the solution for you :)

I honestly think removing Fastmail from the title would be waaay better for everyone.

Some people even wondered if an email account is included in the price... (because of, ... Fastmail in the title).

Anyway, they only refer to JMAP which was created apparently by Fastmail. It has nothing to do with the company, besides using their open email API protocol.

Those two cities getting wiped off the map is not an output of people thinking of physics as a discipline. There is no causal relationship between:

p1 - treat physics as a discipline
p2 - two cities get wiped off the map

There are many more variables that are relevant here, and in times of justified war like WW2 things are different. Consider a war scenario where your physicists spent all their undergraduate study time learning about identity politics and writing political preambles on their papers in order to get their papers even looked at.

Me keeping my online and real-life presences separate has more to do with integrity than the opinions you see here.

Nah, you're just being a coward and literally hiding behind the keyboard. You're afraid of the professional repercussions and consequences. You've been able to read the room just enough to know that being obtuse and unnecessarily confrontational (I think you call it "calling people out on their bullshit") and then sitting back and giggling at the aftermath isn't necessarily an approach you'd want to tie your actual name to. A quick look at your past history shows this is your modus operandi. This is, after all, a group of professionals. And before you lecture ME on what this place is, remember you've been around here for 2 years, I've been around here for 14.

Even if I'm anonymous I'm never insulting or unnecessarily rude

> show a report on the history of the projects' intent

This is a really interesting one and is actually part of where we started with Dart. When I was leading engineering at my last job I was in the habit of taking screenshots of our gantt every week or two so that I could manually flip through the photos and see how the timeline had evolved. Obviously there's no way that's the best solution there. We don't solve this right now but we plan to.
I'm Swedish. I did 12 months of conscription at a time when everyone had to do it.

The happiest country on the planet is Finland, which is even more gung-ho about conscription than Sweden. The nordic countries, Israel, and Switzerland all have conscription and are also all in the top 10 happiest countries. (Side note: I think it'd be dangerous to abolish conscription in Finland. The Finns might get so over-happy that they start talking to strangers at bus stops and doing other things signifying that the end is near.)

As far as the quality of the soldiers, I will give you that there are many countries where poorly trained conscripts are of very low quality.

But as far as the nordic countries go, I'd say that the conscript soldiers in general are motivated and perform well in combat.

Swedish UN troops composed of conscript soldiers who later volunteer for a 6 month UN mission have performed very well compared to "professional" UN troops from other countries. For instance, read up on "shootbat" (BA01) in Bosnia 1993-1994.

I have heard many stories from Swedish ex-UN soldiers about how the Swedish battalions can solve pretty much any problem in the field since they are composed of people who work as auto mechanics, heavy equipment operators, electricians, civil engineers, computer programmers, etc in their civilian lives. At the same time, the "professional" soldiers from other countries get stuck as soon as there's a problem just a little bit outside of their army training.
As you may already know, getting a commonly used username is also somewhat of a curse (do you like getting "forgot your password" emails every hour?)

Or tons of (mistaken) conversation requests?
I like the idea, but they should have called it something else instead of ‚usename‘. Maybe ‚connection string‘ or ‚discovery phrase‘. Right now they have to explain at length in what ways it’s different from regular usernames.
Quite simplistic view of the world. Of course when the company or guy selling the stuff has a rough sales period, he exits and your software that you love is over.

Or you can pay subscription, stable revenues, everyone is happy.
No idea about signal, but I haven't encountered any recent verification that worked on anything but a non-VoIP mobile number. My landline is useless for this and it isn't even VoIP.
The list of phone numbers with signal accounts is basically public. It kind of has to be. When a new number gets added and it matches someone in your address book, your app will tell you that one of your contacts has joined. People have always had the ability to turn off that feature, but that's not what the feature request seems to be asking.

People seem to be asking for a way they can join Signal without their number showing up in the registry of Signal users. This is why it's "not possible".

edit: This may have changed today. I'm now seeing an option that lets me hide my number from the registry. This means that even someone with my phone number will not be able to message me on Signal, which seems like a good deal to me.

Also it was before many parents were on the internet.

Now young people know from experience that little good comes from their parents and extended family being on the social network as them. And so they instead prefer messaging apps for these relationships.

And then for communicating within their age group it's much more about trends and what is new and different as every young generation is enticed by.
I just wrap the ones I actually need that for and put them in traits (sometimes multiple related per trait). So it's internal, small footprint, and really needs 0 maintenance. This is also good for e.g. json_* when you want to provide app-wide defaults.

Show HN: Trove of Decentralized Research and Tools
We collaborated with 17 academic institutions across six continents on the MEGA-ACE program, funded by the Algorand Foundation. Purdue University led the program.

Silvio Micali, one of the top pioneers in cryptography and a Turing Award recipient, authored the foundational paper in 2017. Building on this, we developed a simulator to verify the assumptions underlying the technology. Additionally, we have created further tools and are preparing a preprint for imminent publication.
I don’t really agree with assuming the form of physical attachment and interaction unless it is spelled out.

If that’s what’s meant it will be stated in some fine print, if it’s not stated anywhere then there is no guarantee what the term means, except I would guess they may want people to infer things that may not necessarily be true.
If I recall correctly you have to make a separate module with the bridging headers, but the first problem is that I can't remember exactly of the syntax of that file.

The second is that it's a lot of code and files to make when we only have one import to hack something quickly. For a full library it's probably a very cool feature though.

The third one is more related to my use case. I made a binding with a non-C codebase, and Swift cannot directly import C functions AFAIK, so I had to write C code in addition to the Swift one to make headers. It's not impossible, but it does take time to write all of that in a third programming language.

The fourth problem is related to library imports. In SPM, you either import a system library, or an xcframework. If your app targets any non-Apple platform, xcframeworks are not an option, so if you made a binding to your own lib that's annoying as it is probably not installed while you're building. And even if you're targeting Apple platforms, making an xcframework without Xcode is not well documented.

I probably missed a few problems as my experience is not very extensive, and there are probably better ways to achieve some of the things I wanted to do, but there isn't much documentation about all of that online anyway as far as I saw.

I also dislike Facebook, but it's disingenuous to pretend that Discord is a slot-in replacement.

A wonderful article, thank you.

Rather than using multiple hash functions, would it make more sense to use a single algorithm over (prefix | input), with k different prefixes? This may allow computing those hashes in parallel, using SIMD for example, and caching the prehash state of the prefixes.

Edit: looks like there has been some research on this: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8462781
I agree about the passing utility of Signal [0] but Matrix (which I do use) is a barely adequate dumpster fire. They spent all this effort developing a generic synchronization protocol, but yet didn't include native encryption in 2014 and had to bolt it on as an afterthought? And the last time I tried to find a native client it seemed like they were all still using web engines for rendering (inherently slow and insecure), presumably because the markup is too complex to make straightforward native apps.

[0] I don't even use Signal. My tack is to isolate and contain my "mobile phone" device as much as possible (when I'm home it generally stays next to the door on a charger). Whereas Signal has been designed around that single device as a critical part of my life. When I can sign up using only a username, and use Signal from a native client or web browser without any sort of Android device in the picture, then I'll be interested.
I don’t think that’s true. The development of the Tea Party comprised several causes: the anti-constitutional attitudes of the Obama administration; Mr. Obama’s personal anti-American character; the general incompetence of the Obama administration; and, sadly, racism (I did not appreciate at the time how many of the folks who were vocal about the former factors were motivated by this last, utterly disgraceful, factor). These factors would have been lessened to one degree or another — or altogether missing — in a hypothetical McCain administration.

Granted, hypotheticals are always tricky, and one can’t predict what sort of malignant reaction a McCain administration would have provoked.
Yes, but you have to think about contention. Whilst the Top of rack might have 2x400 gig links to the core, thats shared with the entire rack, and all the other machines trying to shout at the core switching infra.

> It always supported Win/Mac/Linux (that's what I meant by PC)

I would guess that for a lot of people, PC is read as "Windows". Probably in part due to the marketing campaigns of the mid-2000s that would compare "PC vs Mac" which is of course dumb but even in reading that myself, my brain swapped out PC for Windows
Unfortunately I don't. If I were to guess, I'd expect it's just a matter of the engineering hours that would need to be invested not being worth it at this time, given how few people they expect to need it.

I think ETL is right from the perspective where E refers to “from the source of data” and L refers to “to the ultimate store of data”.

But the ETL functionality should itself lives in a (sub)system that has its own logical datastore (which may or may not be physically separate from the destination store), and things should be ELT where the L is with respect to that store. So, its E(LTE)L, in a sense.

So much criticism.

People, have fun developing stuff for free or for little to no money while having to support a shitload of OS versions and possibly multi-device, multiple framework versions, bugs, people sinking your app on the App Store if you don't react or whatever.

3 dollars per month are nothing IF the app is useful. Email is literally the thing you use the most. Why 3 and not 1 or 5? Maybe 3 dollars are just enough to keep people who just criticize you out of your customer base, which is maybe more worth, considering that nobody installs an app with 1 or 2 stars.
There are categorical differences between movies and appliances.

For example, movies last about two hours while even a terrible appliance is likely to last about two years and when a movie is over ths watcher doesn’t suddenly have a significant problem in their life. When an appliance fails people usually do. So the incentives to write a review are different.

Or to put it differently, nobody buys fifty microwaves a year while many many people watch fifty movies a year.

Good luck.
I often ponder if the stone ever yearns to revert to dust. Once a part of bedrock, it endured the transformative journey of glaciation, traversing thousands of kilometers to acquire its polished sheen. Originally a substantial presence in its natural habitat, it now finds itself in unfamiliar terrain, where it seemingly rests undisturbed—or does it? Perhaps the stone harbors a silent longing to reunite with its geological origins, quietly enduring a life of indifference, yearning for the day it can disperse into the wind. Yet, humans, imbuing it with cultural significance, have forever arrested its journey, keeping it fixed in place for their own entertainment.
