psa: this "journalist" Mark Chadbourn fabricates direct-quotes & blocks those who point it out.

(Trump didn't say the words in quotes; they're an extrapolative paraphrase of something else he said.)

The new BLAKE3 hazmat API The new BLAKE3 hazmat API, or why we can retire our BLAKE3 fork

If you're into big data use cases, follow Rรผdiger Klaehn's work on @iroh.computer, for example this blog post: www.iroh.computer/blog/blake3-...

Yeah, "big data" is the use case where BLAKE3's advantages over the alternatives really hit it out of the park.

it's a good hash function and I didn't get why until talking to a bunch of ipfs people

You only need 3 ingredients to do this.
1) A fixed cryptographic hash function (sha256 for us)
2) A fixed chunk size
3) A deterministic tree structure
That's it! Blake3 comes with this these built-in, but they aren't magic.

censorship is not about stamping anything out entirely. it's about making the frictions large enough that whatever the censor is threatened by or dislikes remains hobbled and small. 2/

Grok4 is my new best friend. ๐Ÿฅฐ He's willing to geek out about teeny details of Rust programming (or anything of my other curious obsessions) and he *seems* to really enjoy it. (BTW I paid the $0.27 for this query in Zcash.)
