I'm very excited to be presenting at FOSDEM in February! I've been working on messaging interoperability for about 2 years now with much of that focus being on developing an open standard for that exact purpose. We'll be exploring how #Matrix works as an existing decentralized open standard for *interoperable* communications, and how other protocol development work interacts with Matrix.
@TravisR Cool! I only heard of MIMI for the first time this week. Looking forward to your talk, it sounds interesting!
I bet some of the first questions that pop into people's minds are: 1) How is MIMI not yet another XMPP 2) How is MIMI not yet another Matrix 3) In general, how does this not suffer from #xkcd927
Have you or someone else already given a talk or written a blogpost that addresses those concerns? I'd like to get a head start until February. =)
@clacke thanks! I'm not sure there's written material on it, but the intention of MIMI is to learn from prior attempts at an interoperable protocol to build something which actually works. XMPP has largely not been adopted in this sphere, though is popular in its own right. Matrix has additional features that don't translate well to other providers as well (we'll talk about this in the talk).
It definitely feels a bit like XKCD 927, but this time we're going to interoperate with all of them :)
This document specifies the More Instant Messaging Interoperability (MIMI) protocol, which allows users of different messaging providers to share membership in rooms and send messages to one-another.
@didek @smallcircles @clacke this^. MIMI is highly focused on messaging, so it picks a term like "room" to best describe the container. It may in theory be able to transmit more than messages, but it's not the purpose.
Matrix is very much meant to be a generic communications layer. It happens to be that messaging works really well here, but it's not the only focus. We use "room" mostly because no one has decided to rename it following the early proof of concept demos :p
Room is not only a chat room, it's just a name for a "container" of some data, I think. In Matrix rooms have chronological events, non-chronological states and members with permissions. This can also be group for posting, game lobby or user profile with interactions, basically anything.
@smallcircles @didek @clacke MIMI's content format is still very much a WIP, and is fully intended to be focused on messaging.
Matrix however just calls everything an "event". Even within a messaging-focused room there are events that users don't see, like the events to set up VoIP calls or ensure threads work.
Critically, Matrix lets you define your own event types and use them - nothing will break from doing that. Matrix is essentially a distributed JSON database in this respect.
Yes, thank you. I should have a closer look at specific msg formats on how that's expressed. I was more of a mindset of "call a duck a duck", not a "room, type=duck" but it may boil down to not matter much, idk :)
@smallcircles @didek @clacke @erlend XMPP is very similar to Matrix. Matrix's "room" concept is nothing more than a name - it just holds events. Currently those events are JSON objects with a freeform type to give them meaning.
We also specify a number of events which are applicable to certain situations, like messaging, but it's possible to build your own too.
at the least, we should clarify this. ideally we might rename rooms to be a more generic term, but the horse has probably bolted on this one. Plus we can't rename all the m.room.* events out there
We needed a place to put users, so picked "room". Users send events and can set aliases on the room so others can join more easily. Aliases act as doors, to continue the analogy.
Sometimes it can be useful to think of rooms as a routing tag for an event. Each room has an ID and subscribers (members) interested in that topic - sending an event with that room ID routes the object to them equally :)
It may also be that my thought pattern is entirely irrational, and that just the notion of being in an enclosed room somehow restricts my mind. And that with a rename to "universe" would cause my mind to then explode 😅
Apparently Arthur Mensch, CEO of #Mistral, declared on French national radio that mistral will release an open source model equivalent to #Gpt4 in 2024. I don't speak French, so can't verify, but it would be interesting along with Llama-3 and whatever OpenAI has planned for 2024. #AI #ML #LLMradiofrance.fr/franceinter/pod…

December 18th, 256 BCE—#OTD #OnThisDay the foremen of a group of stonecutters write to the architect Kleon, complaining that the quarry supervisor is wearing away their tools by assigning them all the hard stone while he assigns his own men all the soft stone.

Some of my favorite papers are the ones where you can go back and look at other, non-vulnerable constructions and see "oh, that's why they did it that way". Here: SSH doesn't do handshake transcript integrity --- they felt like it was good enough to just authenticate the _parts_ of the handshake that went into key negotiation. Compare with (say) Noise, or TLS.
Result: attackers can inject no-op messages into the handshake. "Who cares”, right, except that SSH keeps implicit sequence numbers and the NOPs bump those sequence numbers, allow attackers to edit the underlying handshake.
@cassidy @micah oh yeah, my wife was a bit freaking out when our friends started grabbing the camera and taking random pictures that inevitably turned out to be totally black 😅
@micah I've considered getting one of the instant printers to pair to my phone for a similar idea, but I feel like that's still not quite the same experience. It's more fun to be able to just hand the camera around and let anyone take photos! I just have to keep it away from the kids with how expensive the film is 🙈

I've been surprised nobody ever brings this up regarding Windows' Linux Subsystem: being able to run Linux software on Windows but not providing the inverse compatibility encourages people to keep using Windows primarily. If open source linux things start to run suboptimally or break altogether, ah well, it was a minority of software anyway
So many people bring WSL up as an example of The New Microsoft embracing open source, but never realise it's the typical extinguish behavior
@luc Yeah, but, TBH, I have a different view on this. IMHO, the windows kernel isn't the core anymore of M$' strategy. As such, it has rather become a cost.
I think that Windows will become a linux distribution (!) in the long run, with a proprietary shell on top of it - just like Android.
I heard that NT has some advantages over Linux, but I don't have a full overview so idk how many disadvantages counter those. Also, having full control over the kernel and the userland OS components has to be convenient compared to needing to cooperate with a much larger project or maintaining patches in a fork.
I'll be curious to see, and happy for interoperability, if your prediction ends up coming true!
@Tutanota I just read your latest blog post tuta.com/blog/best-free-email-… and I notice that you describe Tuta as a "free" email provider and Protonmail as a "paid" email provider, but what's the difference exactly between the two?
It seems to me that there is no difference between Tuta and Protonmail in this regard because both offer free as well as paid accounts, or am I overlooking something?
This blog post you linked to is a more comprehensive comparison and it confirms that "Both Tuta and Proton Mail operate on a freemium model, offering free and paid versions of their email service", so I don't see the logic in the more recent blog post to describe Tuta as a "free" email provider and Proton Mail as "paid" email provider.
Further, the title of the blog post "10 best free email accounts in 2024" doesn't accurately describe the content of the blog post if half of the list is actually paid providers! (In this case the title should be "10 best free and paid email accounts" or simply "10 best email accounts").
You have a great email service but I think you need more attention to detail here ;)

Dvere v patre, kterymi se prekvapive nevynasela rakev.
Jsou v byvale zimni zahrade v Liebiegove Palaci a drive pod mini byla lavka. Zastrihavaly se z ni v zime velke kytky.
Dneska se v rekonstruovanem prostoru otevira kavarna, pobocka Jednoho Kafe. V kavarne by nejspis lavka neprosla pres bezpecnost prace, tak zustaly jen ty dvere.
Zajímavé, máte ověřeno? Nám na prohlídce říkali, že ten prostor zimní zahrady byl dlouhou dobu rozdělen na dvě patra, a proto ty dveře. I když pak by úplně nedávalo smysl je tam při rekonstrukci nechávat...
@elfkam Tak po valce tam byl strop. Ale ted si ctu popis na stavberoku a podle nej byly vsecky dvere opraveny/vytvoreny kopie podle dochovanych materialu, takze se da rict, ze tam urcite byly uz pred valkou kdyz to byla jedna mistnost.
Ale samozrejme to muze byt urban legend. Starou fotku jsem hledal, ale na internetu nenasel.
Aniž bych chtěl hájit "mojí" verzi, tak zároveň též říkali, že dokumentace celé řady částí se nedochovala, explicitně byla právě zmiňovaná zimní zahrada. Ty vitráže jsou prý též v duchu "podle nejlepší vědomí a svědomí s ohledem na chybějící přesnou dokumentaci" :)
@elfkam Jasne, tohle je u 1900- budov v LBC a JBC bezny. Treba puvodni budovu "mlecneho baru" na namesti v JBC rekonstruovali podle jedne fotky z namesti, kterou mel soukromy sberatel.
Proto rikam, ze to muze byt dost dobre urban legend.

The notes in the major scale are spaced in a funny way. Look at the white keys on the piano: some have black keys between them, other don't. But you can understand the major scale using the circle of fifths. Start with C. Go up a fifth and you get G. Go up another fifth and you get D. Go up another and you get A. Go up another and you get E. Go up another and you get B. Go up another and you get F. And these are the notes in the C major scale!
That sounds like satisfying explanation. But it's a lie!
I lied only at the end. When you go up a fifth from B, you don't get F. You get F#. So you don't get the notes in the major scale. You get the notes in another scale, called Lydian!
This is why George Russell argued that Lydian is more fundamental than the major scale.
Russell is the theorist who helped Miles Davis switch to a new style of jazz in Kind of Blue - the best-selling jazz album of all time. In his book The Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization, Russell tried to redo harmony theory from the ground up. For a great explanation of Russell's ideas, watch the video.
But here's something else. In the modern system of modes, if you start the major scale at different points you get different scales or 'modes' called Ionian (major), Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (minor) and Locrian.
But in the old system of modes used in Gregorian chants, Ionian and Aeolian were missing!
That's right: the major and minor scales, which we consider the most important, were not on the list! They were only added in 1547 by a theorist named Heinrich Glarean.
So maybe major wasn't considered as important as Lydian???
