Regarding jenny development: There have been enough changes in the last few weeks, imo. I want to let things settle for a while (potential bugfixes aside) and then I’m going to cut a new release.

And I guess the release after that is going to include all the threading/hashing stuff – if we can decide on one of the proposals. 😂

With a SHA1 encoding the probability of a hash collision becomes, at various k (number of twts):

>>> import math
>>>
>>> def collision_probability(k, bits):
...     n = 2 ** bits  # Total unique hash values based on the number of bits
...     probability = 1 - math.exp(- (k ** 2) / (2 * n))
...     return probability * 100  # Return as percentage
...
>>> # Example usage:
>>> k_values = [100000, 1000000, 10000000]
>>> bits = 44  # Number of bits for the hash
>>>
>>> for k in k_values:
...     print(f"Probability of collision for {k} hashes with {bits} bits: {collision_probability(k, bits):.4f}%")
...
Probability of collision for 100000 hashes with 44 bits: 0.0284%
Probability of collision for 1000000 hashes with 44 bits: 2.8022%
Probability of collision for 10000000 hashes with 44 bits: 94.1701%
>>> bits = 48
>>> for k in k_values:
...     print(f"Probability of collision for {k} hashes with {bits} bits: {collision_probability(k, bits):.4f}%")
...
Probability of collision for 100000 hashes with 48 bits: 0.0018%
Probability of collision for 1000000 hashes with 48 bits: 0.1775%
Probability of collision for 10000000 hashes with 48 bits: 16.2753%
>>> bits = 52
>>> for k in k_values:
...     print(f"Probability of collision for {k} hashes with {bits} bits: {collision_probability(k, bits):.4f}%")
...
Probability of collision for 100000 hashes with 52 bits: 0.0001%
Probability of collision for 1000000 hashes with 52 bits: 0.0111%
Probability of collision for 10000000 hashes with 52 bits: 1.1041%
>>>

If we adopted this scheme, we could have to increase the no. of characters (first N) from 11 to 12 and finally 13 as we approach globally larger enough Twts across the space. I think at least full crawl/scrape it was around ~500k (maybe)? https://search.twtxt.net/ says only ~99k

Can anyone recommend a decent Android ROM that strips out as much of the spyware as possible? Is GrapheneOS a good option? I need to get a new phone anyway so I don’t mind buying within a supported device list as long as I can get one on the used market for $300-$400 or less.

If anyone could recommend some learning resources for this stuff I’d really appreciate it.

Happy Birthday my Son, I guess you are still camping and celebrating your special day with family.
You were born on a Wednesday on 15 September 1982 at Belmont Hospital, which is a lovely low set place outside Newcastle, as you were brought home to live with my Mum and Dad at Sunshine in our first few months as a married couple. If you subtract 9 months and a bit, the term of your pregnancy, that makes your conception date a few days after our marriage, and the first time both of us had sexual intercourse together, sometime around Friday Saturday or Sunday beginning on 4th December 1981. We were married at Gosford and arrived in the Sydney Hilton Hotel on that evening Thursday 3rd December, it was such a quiet place so far above the street level, the tiny cars below looked like ants. Because you were the first child, we have special sessions each week to attend to learn how to be parents after your birth, and care for the Mum during your delivery. If I remember yours was a breech birth, the doctor had to turn you around somewhat before the normal course of action took place. Karen was brave, being only on gas. Enjoy your special day.

Interesting.. QUIC isn’t very quick over fast internet.

QUIC is expected to be a game-changer in improving web application performance. In this paper, we conduct a systematic examination of QUIC’s performance over high-speed networks. We find that over fast Internet, the UDP+QUIC+HTTP/3 stack suffers a data rate reduction of up to 45.2% compared to the TCP+TLS+HTTP/2 counterpart. Moreover, the performance gap between QUIC and HTTP/2 grows as the underlying bandwidth increases. We observe this issue on lightweight data transfer clients and major web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera), on different hosts (desktop, mobile), and over diverse networks (wired broadband, cellular). It affects not only file transfers, but also various applications such as video streaming (up to 9.8% video bitrate reduction) and web browsing. Through rigorous packet trace analysis and kernel- and user-space profiling, we identify the root cause to be high receiver-side processing overhead, in particular, excessive data packets and QUIC’s user-space ACKs. We make concrete recommendations for mitigating the observed performance issues.

Can’t function without an AC

Had a amazing bike ride with the dog today, the weather is a bit cold today (15c). Been wanting to find a gravel road that I can use, without meeting too many others. And today I found that. Got his pulling harness on, got my bike out of the basement, and headed out.

From my bed, I can hear a noise outside that is most likely a confluence of insects and distant freight trains but sounds errily like the static-laden cacophany of an old radio. I would go out to see what it is, but a small part of me is worried I might end up living out an episode of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” if I do.

我有一个绝妙的游戏点子，怎样才能把它做出来？——独立游戏可行性概念篇
如何完成一个独游项目的立项，大概可以这样思考：

1 想做什么？怎么整理自己的点子？

2 怎么确定自己的概念设计可行？怎么进一步推导可行性？

3 评估能力和成本，怎么做好项目的规划和商业化预期？

4 怎么让项目能够落地下来？

我会以“ 烟花”作为命题，来讲讲怎么从“烟花”这个概念拓展为能变成能落地的可行性概念。

人总会容易有一种错觉：我有一个绝妙的游戏点子，只要做出来肯定火。

那问题来了：

这真的能行吗？怎么才算绝妙的点子呢？

答案很简单：

别YY，去外部验证。

之前有群友问“烟花”怎么做成独立游戏，这次就以烟花当例子来进行推导。

首先，在动脑前，最好是先到互联网验证一下自己“绝妙的游戏点子”是不是已经有人想出来了，甚至做过了？
