lmao love this comment

@icedquinn ooh this does seem interesting... any ideas for single disks?

what's the fastest way to read lots of data from a disk? multithreading doesn't do anything right?

are there any techniques except just do big batch reads?

@Polychrome uhhh alignment??? idk even that doesn't rlly make sense

@kaia I think it's a good film

@dielan @lain @lanodan @scathach thats fair... it still seems like the most compelling truly decentralized forms of identity. but yea its a hard problem and this definitely isnt going to cut it for mainstream adoption.

@lain @dielan @scathach yea and those definitely just seem annoying.

blockchains are valid (but i wouldnt say preferably) solutions to some of the problems of decentralized social media: the problem of identity, and the problem of incentivizing hosting

but i think both of these have non blockchain solutions which would be preferable.

for identity (w3c DID), why not do public key private key identity? someone is identified by being able to sign things with their private key (I believe ssb did this)

incentivizing hosting is harder but perhaps you could do something like what new freenet is trying to do: penalize leechers and give priority to those who participate in the network?

@icedquinn what's psyc?

@scathach hm fair. I thought the paper had some cool ideas and honestly activitypub doesn't feel terribly exciting to me. I'm rlly glad I've got an awesome community but it rlly does feel like activitypub needs lots of improvement

what has been peoples overall feelings towards bluesky?

am reading the bluesky paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.03239) rn for my dist sys reading group and its got some pretty cool ideas

guess who didn't get to see the eclipse bc of the ☁️s

@shibao yk when you learn the ternary operator and get like way too "clever" with how you use it?

that's what I'm like w some functional programming stuff... I end up trying to map filter reduce my way to a solution in like a single line and that's not even a fp problem, it's just a me problem

@shibao ya thank you! idk it was just a bit demotivated since I didn't get a single interview and I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong

@shibao yea so I'm currently already doing research and my back up plan is to do research over the summer.

it's interesting, since I'm applying for PhD programs next semester, it might make more sense for me to do research over the summer break instead of an internship

the internship search has been so bad :(((
