Hole punching succeeded for 86% of the attempts on TCP

the relay serveris used to coordinate a hole punch through these two NATs.

Figure 3

Figure 2: Connection Reversal (after [ 6]): Node 𝑌 connects to therelay server (1.) and asks it to relay a connection to node 𝑋 (2.). Afterexchanging their respective addresses in the CONNECT messageof the DCUtR protocol, 𝑋 first dials 𝑌 directly (3.). This connectionattempt only succeeds if 𝑌 is a public node

Decentralized Hole Punching

at least a small fraction of nodes isnot located behind a firewall or a NAT.

address discoveryand relaying protocols

at least one (anyarbitrary) node to bootstrap peer discovery. The key insight is thatthe protocols used for hole punching, namely address discoveryand relaying protocols, can be built such that their resource require-ments are negligible. This makes it feasible for any participant inthe network to run these, thereby enabling the coordination of holepunch attempts, assuming that at least a small fraction of nodes isnot located behind a firewall or a NAT.

ceenabled by default on IPFS nodes behind NATs and/or firewalls,we plan to conduct comprehensive measurements, evaluating holepunching success across the entire heterogeneous IPFS network

Where Does Growth Come From? | Clayton Christensen | Talks at Google

It is revolutionizing human to human communication in group work we call it inter personal computing.

Gilder is outraged by Google’s lack of attention to security, in multiple senses of the word — customer security, software security, military security. Blockchain will fix all of this — somehow. It just does, okay?

creativity cannot result without human consciousness

“The new era will move beyond Markov chains of disconnected probabilistic states to blockchain hashes of history and futurity, trust and truth,” apparently.

An example of a holonomic constraint can be seen in a mathematical pendulum.

We cannot rewrite this to an equality, so this is a non-holonomic, scleronomous constraint.

estrictedmathematics to the study of concrete operations on finite or potentially (butnot actually) infinite structures

The term is employed here to encompass a wide spectrum of views, including strict finitism,intuitionism, and predicativism. Poincaré adhered to the latter standpoint, while Weyl began as apredicativist but later embraced a form of intuitionism

And fi-nally constructivists,5 including Hermann Weyl and Henri Poincaré, restrictedmathematics to the study of concrete operations on finite or potentially (butnot actually) infinite structures; completed infinite totalities, together with im-predicative definitions that made implicit reference to such, were rejected, aswere indirect proofs based on the Law of Excluded Middle

for mathematical truth – and indeed for the very existence of mathematicalentities – was that of the consistency of the underlying systems, since theypresumed that any consistent, complete theory would be categorical, that is,would (up to isomorphism) characterize a unique domain of objects.

collective navigation of large amounts 00:29:39 of data in ways that are curated but credibly neutral

how do we make a like button for the internet

actually marking other people

stigmargic markers uh are sort of traces of human attention like they're not the full human attention but there's some trace some like part of human attention that we can sort of capture in 00:09:09 a digital environment

talk about the open source attention there's this idea you know people will 00:08:46 talk about like we need to free our attention online we need like autonomy or freedom uh of attention but then trying to operationalize that like what is attention

we have no control over that so the ground is sort of yeah 00:08:21 it's we don't own it and we don't really understand it so these platforms are providing this kind of ground that is not conducive necessarily just to sense making um and that is part of the reason like why 00:08:33 why they're yeah what brad was saying like why why there's issues with these platforms

why am i not seeing other people's attention like people that are sort of relevant why am i not seeing like where have they been once they were on this webpage like the trails that they left

shared attention is this kind of prerequisite for any kind of effective learning between a teacher and students you have shared attention where you're following the teacher's gaze or you're following their hand 00:05:59 pointing or you're just following what they're looking at or what they're interested in so different levels of like uh following someone's attention

We’re announcing a brand new Fleek platform to be THE development platform for web3 - protocol agnostic, non-custodial, and open-source.

“The Russians have been pounding away at Bakhmut for about four weeks and they’re trying to attack it from the east, the north and it looks as though they’ve made some progress from the south of Bakhmut,” Michael Clarke, professor and former director-general of RUSI, told Sky late Tuesday.He described the fighting in the area as “very ferocious.”

that is why i wrote this (and apparently need to refresh it): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-taylor-uuid-ncname… everything within the organization gets a uuid; if it's a fragment, the uuid's representation is converted to that compact form. i have stuff for managing human-friendly overlays as well.
