It's not obvious to me that it's an improvement to have an extra textbox that goes away moments after you type in your email address (possibly after you've tabbed into it to start typing) or an extra textbox that just stays t

Is that very different from "Whenever I find a site hosted through CloudFlare, I look up the origin server's IP address and link to that. Webservers deserve traffic, not CDNs."?

They support WASM-based workloads that are inherently very sandboxed by design (and have other benefits like being architecture agnostic).

It's an open marketplace for anyone to sell or buy compute power, not a giveaway from someone. I think the word "democratize" is clunky but I think it has some overlap with the idea that you don't need special connection

I think it's because some configurations of Golem use virtualization features to sandbox individual workloads, and some platforms have limitations around VMs-in-VMs.

If it's true that Ethereum blocks have any kind of checksum of the expected results, then if the patch has a mistake, I'd think the failure mode would just be that they continue to fail processing the failed block, or they get fur

Chromecasts get initially configured by connecting your phone to a wifi network hosted by the device, so I wonder how Google makes that work.

I never got the point of Tailwind: having an element with utility classnames on it that each add one CSS rule, like class="flex flex-wrap" doesn't seem any better than just having the equivalent inline styles on it. Sure, the

Why would you want to block wasm specifically? There's nothing it can do that javascript can't.

by AgentME 6y ago
This isn't true. If you block javascript from running, then that will include blocking WebAssembly. WebAssembly is only started through javascript, and if things ever changes so that webpages can include WebAssembly directly, presumabl

Then that adds a delay to each block being broadcast to the network. It also means that the longer a miner waits to broadcast the block, the more time a different miner has to finish a proof-of-work and claim the next block first. Miners ar

I've thought a lot about the morality of potential openworm simulations. How tiny it is and close to being working has made me wonder about some absurd thought experiments. Imagine a worm hell webpage that had a full neural simulation

The problem is that when a miner announces a block with a solution, an attacker could immediately announce their own alternative block with the same solution and there would be a chance that the network would take up their block first.

The thought experiment definitely makes me think of the parallelizability of tasks. There's definitely kinds of tasks that this setup as described wouldn't be very good at accomplishing. It would be better for accomplishing tasks

I really think that if you truly believed your identity is defined only by things you share in common with the original, then you as the upload would have no fear of deletion. Most people define identity in part by continuity of experience,

Say the setup was changed so that instead of the copy being deleted, the copy was merged back into the original, merging memories. In this case, I think it's obvious that working together is useful. Now say that merging differing memor
