Twitter: You're at the whims of a billionaire. Threads: You're a data machine cog, but the billionaire doesn't care about you specifically. Mastodon: You're either at the whims of your server admin, or you can't find anything. Bluesky: Eventual whimmunity, can find stuff, but _everything_ is public.

But it’s not two-way! If A blocks B in ATP, this *didn’t prevent B from seeing A’s posts *. All it means, afaict, is “A is announcing they will not observe any of B’s content.” Even that may not be true! That’s one of the key reasons I’m concerned about user expectations.

So an ATP “block” Is completely different than a Twitter “block”. I am tempted to call the former something different like “admonition”, “reprimand”, “censure” because those sounds closer: public announcements about the blockee.

If you're an open source ai product person or a hacker, please build this for me: An AI that quickly finds the original source alluded to in any news/social post.

I'll bet efficiency on ARM is more important for wide adoption of a secure hash function than efficiency on recent Intel/AMD laptop/server machines, because everything is a lot slower on (most) ARMs, and the use cases sometimes come with hard performance requirements.

On http://bench.cr.yp.to/results-hash.html#aarch64-pi4b, BLAKE3 is one of the most efficient secure hash functions, but in reality BLAKE3 is much *more* efficient than shown there, because it uses ARM NEON (which is not shown in that benchmark) and because of the new BLAKE3 v1.4.1 speedups.

BLAKE3 is now *even* faster on (some) ARM machines: https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/releases/tag/1.4.1

Extra double like/reskeet. I have a crazy idea, y’all: What if users control all their own apps, and those apps interoperate nicely to let users do what they want?

Last night was a slow Saturday night, so i got to read this whole report of NCC Group's security assessment of Zcash Foundation's zebra. Good stuff! ⤵️

🎶Hey you with the pretty face Welcome to the human race A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin' And today is the day we've waited for Oh Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why You had to hide away for so long (so long) Where did we go wrong?🎶 https://youtu.be/G8dsvclf3Tk

we're in the lifeboat folks

Wow — welcome, all you new folks! 👋

@elonmusk I demand the return of the Fail Whale!

New OpenZFS release candidate just dropped with BLAKE3 as a checksum. https://phoronix.com/news/OpenZFS-2.2-rc1 This is another example of software engineers upgrading from weak/insecure algorithms to BLAKE3 (which is secure) due to BLAKE3's performance. ⤵️

Hey im back cuz twitter is ratelimiting me and i wanna tell everyone how awesome BLAKE3 is

Big news! Thanks to a great deal of hard work by the Zcash Foundation team, Zcash now has a completely new full node, designed with a modular architecture and implemented from the ground up in safe, performant Rust! They just announced zebra v1.0.0: https://zfnd.org/zebra-stable-release/

I barely figured out how to share it (fingers crossed that this works), but this flowers feed is gorgeous https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:vpkhqolt662uhesyj6nxm7ys/feed/flowers

(i.e. a proof that the algorithm was executed correctly, and without injecting any "fake" results)

Concept: authenticated feeds Even your "following" timeline places trust in your PDS to tell the truth. If each post came attached with the MST blocks to prove that a) you follow the user b) that they made that post, the client could verify. Algorithmic feeds could maybe use ZK proofs?

Encrypted Memos is one of the best features of Zcash.

Hey errybody i got sth to say https://bsky.app/profile/zooko.bsky.social/post/3juzpaox3ms2d

Global namespaces enforce social hierarchy and enforce epistemic hegemony. They cannot be used in a way that does not have this effect.

a tiny pink computer came in the mail today, and it’s SO small and SO pink and SO RISC-V and i’m obsessed with it

💭client that takes raw posts, as you composed for cooperative & generous interpretation by mature peers - & encrypts them with key only those peers have. then, has LLM rephrase for obtuse & agenda-addled, armored against tendentious misinterps - & posts (real_private, mealy_public) pair. …

Sorry, The Harry Artist, I have no intention of running - but thanks for the vote of confidence!

Just shared a bluesky invite code with someone through a Zcash Encrypted Memo. 😁

It's funny how this is completely flipped now. Geolocating images is hard because everyone is stripping EXIF, but bird classifiers are plentiful (admittedly, we've had at least 5 research-team-years of effort focused on the problem domain since then)

Known, feasible attacks can break 31 out of 64 rounds of SHA256 (48% of the rounds). Known, feasible attacks can break only 2 out of 7 rounds of BLAKE3 (29% of the rounds).

Reasons to prefer BLAKE3 over SHA256:

In Key West they do fishing tours every day. When they get back they take a photo in front of the charter’s sign with the biggest fish caught that day. 1956, 1965, early ‘80s, 2007.

Today I was asked about News Item about me that wasn't true, wasn't conceivably true, and literally couldn't happen. I looked at the article. My guess is it's hallucinatory "corroborative detail" generated by an AI, and that the whole article is AI. I think we just broke something unrepairable.

kinda feels like we have a fundamental disagreement about what the phrase “end-to-end” means

Oooohhhh, this makes more sense now

the topology of your informational gradient is in large part a prime determiner of your intersubjective Realness each piece of knowledge known to you and yours, but not others, entails a prime in your narrative toolbox, an axiom which they cannot use in their constructions
