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.

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 bench.cr.yp.to/results-hash.html#aa…, 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.

my primary problem with most blockchain-based technology & most cryptocurrency is that it's insufficiently private & susceptible to network analysis, because everyone can see everything happening on the chain—but I don't think web3 technology is useless, either, because this isn't universally true

New OpenZFS release candidate just dropped with BLAKE3 as a checksum. 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. ⤵️

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: zfnd.org/zebra-stable-release

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?

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.
