Quoting from the Permutation City by Greg Egan:

"Opponents replied that when you modeled a hurricane, nobody got wet. When you modeled a fusion power plant, no energy was produced. When you modeled digestion and metabolism, no nutrients were consumed – no real digestion took place. So, when you modeled the human brain, why should you expect real thought to occur?"

hoping for this to get mainstream so that I can just view the pages without any ads, js and bloat

the ultimate coincidence of life, the universe, and everything

everything in life is a metaphor, analogous to something else...

Your last sentence seems just the same to me. I believe that saying something can't be cracked in under millions of years is analogous to saying that no advancements will be made in those years.

It's funny just thinking about it. Because if you are not depending on a third-party, then you are depending on yourself only. Which means that once you encrypt something hoping that you won't be able to decrypt for some amount of time, you accept that changing of the time has something to do with the decryption of your encrypted message. Since you can certainly know how much of time should be pass, you can't keep secrets from yourself right?

So, in a sense, in my opinion, if you want to encrypt a message and send it to someone and make it timelocked without a third-party, you might as well just keep the message secret until the desired amount of time has passed and just give it to him.

If being crackable during the time period is a concern, why not just use OTP (one-time pad, not his evil twin) and create XORed multiple keys to be shared with peers, and then use all of the distributed keys to reveal the message after some time had passed?

I know this is not efficient by any means but being able to instantly make things publicly available from your phone is a cool trick. Just wanted to show how it's done and I'm curious about what could be built on top of this

Happy to hear your thoughts on this.

Take digits of pi, press 'd' if the digit is < 5, and else press 'f'.

Now, what would be the prediction rate?

Does it mean that the sequence was found to be created with free will? :)

Hey guys, I've released a new version of the app, which includes changes to the UI, a new video player, an update manager to update the app to the latest version, support for opening Reddit links as the default app, and many more!

You can check https://github.com/kaangiray26/geddit-app/releases to get the latest version, although I'm also trying to make a release in F-Droid.

I appreciate all the nice comments and support I've seen so far. Feel free to leave a comment!

Sorry, I don't understand. Everyone on this service is anonymous as no account creation is needed. Upvotes and comments are not tied to users.

With all respect to RSS, Endless allows for users to interact with posts. Which means you can upvote and leave comments for posts on websites that initially do not implement a way to do this. Thus, you don't have to create an account for that. Besides, with custom extractors you can see posts from pages with no RSS support. Also you will be able to see trending and controversial posts based on upvotes and comments on your front page in the upcoming versions.

Thank you kind stranger!

Actually I was planning to make a web app but then I realized not all news websites have APIs for requesting their content. Then I've come across CapacitorJS which allows you to convert your web projects into mobile apps and they have a plugin called "CapacitorHttp", which patches the usual fetch function to use native libraries instead. This way it is possible to make http requests that do not get blocked by CORS-related problems. So, all the requests are made on the client-side, which takes so much work from my shoulders :)

Nice tech stack and I really appreciate the effort that went into this. Cool project!

p.s. I regret googling what Joi is..
