> Again, academically, maybe not a CRDT because they will not "always converge". Hard forks can happen. However, pragmatically, Blockchains are a CRDT.

The term "CRDT" is an academic term. So the academic definition matters. They're not "pragmatically" a CRDT because that's simply not how we decide what is and isn't a CRDT.

The proper definition is any algorithm, replicated across multiple computers in a network with these 3 properties (at least according to wikipedia):

1. The application can update any replica independently, concurrently and without coordinating with other replicas.
2. An algorithm (itself part of the data type) automatically resolves any inconsistencies that might occur.
3. Although replicas may have different state at any particular point in time, they are guaranteed to eventually converge.

Blockchains meet criteria 2 and 3. But in my opinion, property 1 is too much of a stretch.

In a blockchain, you can't meaningfully update your local replica independently and without coordination. Sure - you can add local transactions. But blockchains care about global consensus, not the local state. A transaction in a blockchain isn't generally considered to have happened until its been included in a block & witnessed throughout the network.

This is in stark contrast to, say, Apple Notes (which uses a CRDT internally). In Notes, I can edit a note on my phone and the note changes. There's no consensus required before my new edits are considered to be legitimate.

With more heat the boron atoms (and water) get further apart. Fun times.

> the high cost mostly comes out of the fact that we don't build nuclear reactors as series + the fact that we finance it at insane rates

The UK has had a hard time getting this. Sizewell C is still pending a final investment decision (while we risk the loss of experience from Hinkley Point C), although the Regulated Asset Base model may help reduce the finance rates.

China appear to get it, mind you. 11 new reactors forecast to cost 33B USD, using experienced teams. But they have energy security issues.

Its better to present as 'fire resistant' than 'fire proof' I think
Telegram in the primary communication platform for the Russian forces in Ukraine. That may or may not be of interest to the French authorities, but the fact that it is also used by the Russian mercenaries taking control over former French colonies definitely is. A French citizen aiding Russian military and mercenaries in the French sphere of interest is asking for trouble.

This is pure conjecture, btw.

I don’t think any strongly consistent posix data store will work well in a multi region setup.

Each write needs to be propagated before the application is unblocked. When you have tens of milliseconds of site to site latency this means every IO request is going to have worse performance than spinning rust.

Object storage can work better in this regard because the IO chunks tend to be larger and therefore the round trip time is traversed less per bit written.

Another alternative is that you run your regions in active passive setup so there is only one active region at a time and when the active region is changed all in process state in the previous active region can be sync to the new active region. Writes only need to be synchronously written within the active region.

Honestly, if you can do that you can make the big bucks at FAANG.

I personally just run a single home NAS which backs up to S3. Very strong durability in that S3 is never going to lose my data at the same time my NAS goes bad, but not great availability in that I will need to rebuild the NAS and pull down files from S3.
When it comes to my home tech strong durability is a must but availability, not much so.
>There are enough transistors, and enough RAM on the wafer to fit the entire model.

Not the entire 70b fp16 model. It'd take 148GB of RAM to hold the entire model. Each Cerebras wafer chip has 44GB of SRAM. You need 4 of them chained together to hold the entire model.

I started with Cosmic on Pop! 22.04 which was fine but then I wanted to try KDE and installed it and stayed with it after I found it to more customizable as per my preferences.

At this point I feel like I probably should have just used Kubuntu instead and be up-to-date (Pop! is still stuck at 22.04). Everything works though and I am too lazy to risk issues / dealing with time spent on setting everything again.
> Also the author fails to understand that the complicity here doesn’t mean that companies in Europe are responsible for their users content

In the EU, every company is responsible for what their users post on their service. There's a reason you won't find any (or very few) comment sections on the website of EU media and news companies. No one wanted to pay for the moderators needed, so when the law came around most comment sections were shuttered.
Thinking about it more, I’ll provide another that people will not immediately appreciate.

Any and all networked video games with some form of rollback or correction. Best effort with a fallback to Rollback might actually be the “best” ie ergonomic experience for CRDTs that are most widely used.

Again, not academically a CRDT because technically game state is not perfectly replicated to every client. Each client only gets partial game state.

Additionally, game clients require low latency syncing, which could academically be considered “coordinating”. Even tho the client actually accepts and renders the input’s results locally probabilistically before any conflict resolution / rollback is returned to the client for correction.

Again people are likely going to be pedantic but with three post now, I’d like to hope, people might see the common theme:

The most popular, highly ergonomic, best implementations of CRDTs actually break the academic rules of CRDTs.

This is a relatively typical trap of an overly academic mental model. Most real world algorithms and data types are actually more creative than their academic “rulesets”. eg Timsort.

Especially if you’re building a product for actual use (as apposed to for review in a paper), then don’t fall into the over engineered/academic trap. Be creative, learn the academic rules, then intentionally break those rules, build what actually adds value and make it ergonomic rather than try to perfectly implement a concept that academics defined so stringently it’s only useful for other academics.

mRNA vaccine is not gene therapy; it does not change gene.
Listen mate, if you want to have discussions about economics you need to be able to reason about scenarios without resorting to metaphors and simplified models. If you can’t do that then you need to read up some more.

You learned in school that electrons orbit atoms, but that’s not how it really works is it? Trying to reason with a simplified model in mind can only lead to misunderstanding.

Electrons don’t have orbits. Capital gains aren’t paint.
Is mRNA gene therapy? It doesn’t change your genome afaik which actual gene therapy would from my understanding?

Sending copies of fake character data isn't a thing because there eventually has to be a flag that tells the client to not render that character that the client hack could simply read.

It should be clear that servers already do not trust the client, they do many checks hence you don't see teleportation hacks in games like Counter strike or Valorant. There used to be cheats in the counter strike games like "nospread" where you could have 100% pixel perfect aiming but that was because the the client was trusted however now in most games with some randomness in bullet spray patterns the random seed is different between the client and server so something like "nospread" are no longer possible.

You might be stumbling upon "fog of war" that is not sending data to a client unless the enemy player is close to visible which is a thing. It's widely used and I'd say effective in MOBA/MMORPG/RTS games however in FPS games fog of war is many times more computationally expensive which matters at the scale of games these days. It has been a thing for a long time in counter strike with server plugins like "SMAC anti wall hack" or "server side occlusion culling" however the implementations sometimes have not been perfect and require significantly stronger servers. https://github.com/87andrewh/CornerCullingSourceEngine

Riot games also implements fog of war at scale in Valorant and has a blog post covering some of the issues they overcame. One thing you can see the gif at the end of the blog post, even though fog of war is effective it is only effective in reducing the effectiveness of wall hacks and wall hacks still provide a significant advantage.

Maybe? When you login from a new device you're asked to provide an OTP so maybe there is at least that layer of protection and, hopefully, requires some circumvention at the application code level.

However I think the real question is: even if that's possible, can law enforcement compel Durov or an employee to do so?

None of the covid vaccines are gene therapies. The mRNA utilizes your cell's machinery to produce proteins. Gene therapy alter's your cells DNA.

Having said that, the vaccine in the article is an attenuated virus vaccine, which is even more traditional than J&J (which utilizes a different virus as its delivery mechanism)

Sinovac is an inactived vaccine, which probably makes it the most traditional of the set.
> You describing these justification as "fig leaves" proves rather conclusively that you are making partisan, as opposed to factual, statements.

This is just electioneering 101: The party leadership can’t explicitly say “voter participation hurts us,” they have to instead pound on the table with unfounded claims of widespread fraud as an explanation to the party rank and file for the voter suppression they’re engaging in.

I’m not saying I don’t have opinions, but I don’t need to lean on them when the facts make the case for me. The fact is that the low information voting bloc of the party is indoctrinated with the rampant fraud myth, and they support policies that suppress participation as a result. The high information leadership encourages this false belief because they know they lose elections when voters participate at high rates.

It gives me no pleasure to report these facts. They are what they are.
> Telegram is a legal entity that has nothing to do with France

That's obviously false. Telegram is providing services to French and EU citizens.
Good point. However, in my experience messing around with choropleth maps, I often find myself resorting to web scraping in the end when I want something more current (opinion polling). Despite this data being seemingly everywhere, and companies often wanting you to use it (with attribution) so they can get advertising for other services, they never seem to have an API.
The underlying problem is not "the owners of large companies have too much money", it's "large companies are too large". If you take ownership of the company away from Jeff Bezos and give it to Wall St, whoever they make the CEO can still ruin your life by denying service to you etc. It solves nothing and plausibly makes the problem worse because founders generally run companies less extractively than MBAs.

What you need is to remove barriers to competition and enforce antitrust laws.
leaving aside that most anticheats are useless and constantly teetering on the thin line between legitimate software and malware, not enabling anti-cheat solutions that support Linux on Linux is really an asshole move that almost definitely stems from an unmotivated or ideological hostility to Linux in general (I'm specifically referring to Tim Sweeney here).
Pop!_OS has been my daily driver for three years and counting. I think its desktop enviroment is already fine, with a few annoyances (hiding the top bar requires GNOME Toolkit and doesn't work reliably).

I've been following the progress of Cosmic casually. To me it seems a slightly more [cohesive|streamlined|robust] version of the current desktop, which would be great.

Although it also seems like for non-early adopters like myself who just want to use something that works and gets out or their way is a long way off. Videos reviewing the alpha version say this fairly universally.

Not delaying UI interaction; though conflict resolution (there are at least two involved clients, each with it's own lagged view of the other, and a server that knows it's own truth) might change the outcome of events. THAT is the part of multiplayer net code I know the least about, mostly because I don't think there is a perfect solution but I am not a subject expert on what works well as an approximation.
Author here. I had a chat with PHV about this (a principle author of the Local First Software paper).

He sees the access control problem like scribbling on your copy of the US Constitution. If you print out the constitution, you can make whatever marks on the page that you want. But nobody else is obliged to copy your changes.

Its the same as Git in that sense. I can fork a repository and submit pull requests. But I can only push my changes upstream if I have write access to the repository.

If you need a single authoritative "truth" - like a video game - then you can still do that by having one peer act as a hub and it can decide which edits to merge & broadcast. If a video game used a CRDT, you might still want a server - and that server might still want to reject any incoming edits that are older than a few seconds.

But I generally agree - I don't think CRDTs add a lot of value in multiplayer video games. CRDTs make sense when a local user wants to edit some data, and those changes are useful locally even if you never share them with other peers. So, creative work is the use case I think about the most - like video editing, writing, design, programming, and so on.

In the video game industry, I think the best use for CRDTs would be to make Unity / Unreal / etc collaborative spaces.

First of all, thank you for your feedback.

The application is in its early stages, with a number of features that I personally needed, and feedback like yours can help me to develop it in line with my needs.

As for the connection to the banks, some people are totally against it (for fear of being hacked, even though there's no risk) and other people like you want it by default. I opted for simplicity, to keep with my approach of a simple, lightweight app. But the in-between with a csv data import page is conceivable. I'd be interested to know more about your needs in this area, so don't hesitate to contact me to give me more context.

Finally, you've identified the shortcomings of my landing page, which needs to be reworked over the next few days/weeks.

So don't hesitate to have another look at it soon and let yourself be tempted ;)

> We used to tax the rich much more than we do now, and government bureaucrats were not obscenely wealthy then as you seem to be implying.

This is inaccurate. We used to have higher tax rates on paper but nobody actually paid them because the tax code of the time had many enormous loopholes that have since been closed, which happened at the same time as the rates were lowered. Real government revenue per capita has been increasing over time.

There would be no such flag. The clients would cull the characters that are out of position. Yes that's some client load for the culling, but it's probably less overhead than 'anti cheat'.

The important reason I suggested MULTIPLE clones of a character and only forking new paths off of existing characters in the world is that it should eliminate any information oracle about which of those is the real character.
The government is not funded by taxes. It controls the supply of money, it can spend as much money as it wants whenever it wants.

We're building WorkMode (https://workmode.net/) - a body-doubling platform for extreme procrastinators. In a nutshell, we connect with our users via video call to ensure they stay focused on their tasks. These video calls usually last the entire day. Think of it as "Focus/Productivity as a Service."

Replacing our productivity partners (body doubles) with AI avatars simply wouldn't work. The method's effectiveness relies on interaction with another human. We asked some of our users about this, and most of them said they wouldn't feel much pressure to work on their tasks if they knew a machine was watching them. In fact, most of them would feel horrible.
