This took quite a while to experiment, but now that it kinda works, feels pretty cool.
- Still experimental on my local machine (not on dev site)
- Replies are segmented between edit time slots, idea from X mastodon.social/@cheeaun/11499…
- Older revisions slowly get more grayscale and less opaque.
Interesting. Twitter/X scopes replies/comments to specific post revisions.Post A → 2 comments
Post A edited, becomes Post B → 2 comments are not displayed anymoreIt shows the count "2" but not rendering them, until clicking on Edit History and clicking on the previous post that has those replies 🤔
@kizu lol lots of ideas, just need time to experiment 😂 For this current experiment, it gave me a better overview of what kind of edge cases that might happen — I had to disable all links and buttons because everything will break 🙈. It'll also only be enabled if it's *not* a thread.
Btw re: diffs, I know that @Tusky have diff viz for edit history for a few years now 🙇♂️

The image features a dark gray background with three circular shapes, two of which are partially filled with a lighter brown color. The text is white and reads: "When the light goes out of the world, everyone ends up in a sundown town." The text is centered and spans the width of the image, with the first line at the top and the second line below it. The overall design is simple and minimalistic, with the text being the primary focus.

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?
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 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?
Another quiet afternoon.
