Why do these tools never have the equivalent of sketch contraints in FreeCAD? That's how I build my models and it avoids a lot of math. I'd really like a "CAD as code" tool that's …

One thing I love about NixOS is how easy it is to run packages from different sources. For example, I needed an old package that's been removed from nixpkgs several years ago. To r…

So if I have to reinstall my phone it won't be usable for 24h because I won't be allowed to install my F-Droid apps?

> After all, real humans – even geniuses – are trained on much much less data than the whole Internet. It's certainly different data, but one could argue that real humans have been…

I'm not saying they invented anything. I'm saying it's a different workflow than what what I've seen on HN. I don't care about Visual Studio, I don't use it, but the page you've li…

Making the model write a research file, then the plan and iterate on it by editing the plan file, then adding the todo list, then doing the implementation, and doing all that in a …

A detailed workflow that's quite different from the other posts I've seen.

They are different Boris. I was using the names already used in this thread.

But the author's workflow is actually very different from Boris'. #6 is about using plan mode whereas the author says "The built-in plan mode sucks". The author's post is much more…

Sure, I was not talking about Signal. Something like Bitmessage[1] can. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmessage

It can protect the identity of the members, though.

There's also this issue[1] with about 300 participants about limits being reached much more quickly since they stopped the 2x limit for the holidays. A few people from Anthropic jo…

If it's the same author they can reuse the code. They can copy the code but they can't link it.

But my config files (/etc, ~/.config, etc.) are either managed by nix (and no program can modify them), or they are not and in that case nix will never touch them. In what situatio…

This problem may be specific to Darwin because on NixOS I've never had a file overwritten by nix (even with home manager). When a file is managed by nix it's a symlink to a read-on…

No, I'm saying it's not clear at all who is in a better position. I'd even argue that the miner hiding his block is in a worse position. But I'll stop discussing that with you. It'…

But yesterday's jackpot is still running, here. If you find a block on the public chain while the other miner kept their block secret, your block becomes the main chain. If they pu…

What advantage does it provide vs not withholding? If you don't keep your first block secret and find a 2nd block, you get the same rewards. On the other hand, if someone finds a b…

Yes, but when you find that block you don't know whether you will be 10 blocks ahead in the future. You have to make the decision to put the reward of this block at risk before you…

Mining on the hidden chain is not necessarily a head start. It would be if it was certain that this hidden chain will become the main chain. But if it doesn't, then mining on it wa…

But to get 10 blocks ahead you have to withhold blocks before knowing you'll be ahead. If you don't get ahead, you'll likely lose the reward of the blocks you withheld. So, you hav…

But by withholding you also increase the risk that your first block will never end up in the main chain (if the remaining 90% find a block while you're withholding). And you would …

> Except that by withholding their block, they got a headstart so they are more likely to find the second block. So it's not the same. Withholding their block (5s or whatever) does…

> You can determine statistically whether you have found a block relatively early, and conversely whether other miners are unlikely to find one soon. Finding a block relatively ear…

> The key idea behind this strategy, called Selfish Mining, is for a pool to keep its discovered blocks private, thereby intentionally forking the chain. The honest nodes continue …
