Threads Agrega Posts de Formato Largo de Hasta 10.000 Caracteres


Threads, la aplicación de Meta, ha lanzado oficialmente la función de posts de formato largo, permitiendo a los creadores de contenido, autores y periodistas compartir textos de hasta 10.000 caracteres, en un intento por atraer a una audiencia más amplia y competir con la función “Artículos” de X (Fuente Meta).

Threads ha lanzado una nueva función largamente esperada que permite a los usuarios agregar un «adjunto de texto» de hasta 10.000 caracteres a sus publicaciones. Meta, la compañía detrás de Threads, ha confirmado que esta función está dirigida a periodistas, autores y creadores que desean compartir contenido extenso directamente en la plataforma, eliminando la necesidad de crear largos hilos o de usar capturas de pantalla.

Al seleccionar la opción «adjunto de texto» en el compositor de posts, se abre un editor de texto que incluye opciones de formato como negritas, cursivas, subrayado y tachado. Una vez publicado, el texto largo se muestra como una vista previa que se puede expandir para leerse en una ventana de pantalla completa en dispositivos móviles o en una ventana dedicada en la web. La función, que fue inspirada por el comportamiento de los usuarios que a menudo compartían capturas de pantalla de artículos y libros, busca consolidar la posición de Threads como una plataforma más versátil.

Aunque por ahora no permite incrustar imágenes o videos dentro del texto, un portavoz de Meta ha señalado que están trabajando en más funciones de formato que se lanzarán en el futuro. Este lanzamiento, que se produce poco después de que Threads alcanzara los 400 millones de usuarios activos, es una clara señal de que Meta está invirtiendo fuertemente para hacer que la aplicación sea un destino principal para el contenido de texto de formato largo.

Mathematical #cryptography question. Suppose you wish to *store* a very large number (2**40 or more) of messages. All of these messages have the *same* relatively short length, on the order of 2**15 bits, and are to be encrypted with the same symmetric key.

In this regime, how do you size the IV and MAC for some target security level k? Still just k bits each, or does it get more interesting?

in reply to Zack Weinberg

I would look into unique key derivation per message or unique IV and MAC for each message.

Such a large number of texts being ciphered with the same key presents fodder for a fund of attacks. Key re-use is dangerous in such a scenario.

A master key is can be combined with a unique sub key or salt for each message for individual key derivation per message. The unique sub keys can be encrypted with the master key for additional security. Such keys and salts must be RNG sourced.

I read that Nate Silver "Blueskyism" essay and what stands out is that his three primary features of Blueskyism, while certainly present in some conversations here, nowhere near consistently obtain. And one of them, credentialism, seems to in fact almost never.
in reply to Aaron Ross Powell ☸️

I suspect Silver's charge of Bluesky being credentialist is less that people here flash their PhDs around, and more that Silver frequently makes arguments that aren't very good, and they're met with credulity on X, but get pushback from people with expertise here. But expertise isn't credentialism.

I had an idea and some very smart people follow me, so I want someone to tell me why this won’t work:

N body gravitational simulation is hard because of the scaling problem.

So, whenever I’ve built gravity simulation in the past, I’ve used a quadtree and only had bodies in a small search window affect one another. This is, as I understand it, a very common implementation.

But…

What if you used graph theory to establish a more coarse-grained quadtree based on local cliques? Every body could then apply the (theoretically much smaller number of) forces from all of the cliques scaled by their clique’s distance.

Does that work? Is there some obvious overhead I’m not thinking of?

I know it wouldn’t be _perfectly_ accurate… but it _feels_ like it’d be close, at least if you look at the system in aggregate?

in reply to b4ux1t3 #1️⃣

I have half formed ideas of maybe ignoring positional distance and keeping track of “classes” of objects, where objects are disproportionately affected by objects in a larger class and completely unaffected by something that’s two or three classes smaller, but that feels like it’d be a memory hog nightmare.
in reply to b4ux1t3 #1️⃣

And like, even comparing the classes of two objects in a large system would end up being really compute intensive. Even without the positional changes.

Reminder that with the notable exception of covid, Donald Trump has never been president when the economy is bad. And it's a lot easier for voters to excuse his bigoted buffoonery when they feel okay about their material conditions.

Zach lived off berries during the Winter. He had enough foresight to know he wasn't going to get out of the mountains any time soon because of two broken legs. No one was looking for him. It wasn't unusual for him to hike for several months at a time and eat off what he found growing wild. This Winter had been mild and there were a lot of animals out that normally wouldn't be mobile...

@DrSuzanne The real fun is all the people who try to find that quick fix for you, using that dreaded preface "But if you just . . ."

I've been told that all I need to do is "just" consume more antioxidants, go vegan, avoid nightshade veggies, try gin-soaked raisins, go macrobiotic, etc. etc. People seem very uncomfortable with the chronic part, and especially the fact that it only gets worse, not better, for most of us. We must be doing something wrong, in their eyes. It's nothing I did or did not do that led me here. Autoimmune disease and chronic illnesses run in my family, and have done so for generations. All it needed to kick off was a spark, a virus in my case: severely reactivated Epstein Barr.

I hope that people who are perfectly healthy have some idea of how golden that is.

@kimlockhartga @DrSuzanne

Plus one for me. Completely agree. I’m sorry you have to experience that in addition to your health challenges.

I experience chronic migraines, and it’s amazing how many people seem to know more about migraine “cures” than the highly specialized care I’ve been receiving from my neurologist over the years. 🤷‍♀️

I was so horrified when my toddler was in my shopping cart and women would stop me in Whole Foods. (This was when there was only one Whole Foods... in Austin, Texas) .They would say your child is squinting. You should give him vitamin A pills. Little did I know that was just the beginning. He has a rare retinal disorder. AND vitamin is not always a good idea!

Actively fetching replies in Mastodon 4.4 is a game changer for small instances, as @james reports: mastodon.exitmusic.world/@jame…

It fixes an important weakness (basically a bug) of Mastodon that matters even for large servers: 2ality.com/2024/11/mastodon-we…

I still really like Mastodon’s “local view of social network” approach:
• Much more decentralized than a global view.
• Scales really well.
• Setting up a new server is *relatively* cheap and simple.
