Fast and Easy Levenshtein distance using a Trie

<img src="http://stevehanov.ca/blog/images/acer.jpg"/> If you have a web site with a search function, you will rapidly realize that most mortals are terrible typists. Many searches contain mispelled words, and users will expect these searches to magically work. This magic is often done using levenshtein distance. In this article, I'll compare two ways of finding the closest matching word in a large dictionary. I'll describe how I use it on rhymebrain.com

Ollama gained traction by being the first easy llama.cpp wrapper, then spent years dodging attribution, misleading users, and pivoting to cloud, all while riding VC money earned on someone else's engine. Here's the full history, and why the alternatives are better.

IPv8 Proposal
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-thain-ipv8-00.html
#HackerNews #IPv8 #Proposal #IETF #networking #technology #innovation #draft
Internet Protocol Version 8 (IPv8) is a managed network protocol suite that transforms how networks of every scale -- from home networks to the global internet -- are operated, secured, and monitored. Every manageable element in an IPv8 network is authorised via OAuth2 JWT tokens served from a local cache. Every service a device requires is delivered in a single DHCP8 lease response. Every packet transiting to the internet is validated at egress against a DNS8 lookup and a WHOIS8 registered active route. Network telemetry, authentication, name resolution, time synchronisation, access control, and translation are unified into a single coherent Zone Server platform. IPv4 is a proper subset of IPv8. An IPv8 address with the routing prefix field set to zero is an IPv4 address. No existing device, application, or network requires modification. The suite is 100% backward compatible. There is no flag day and no forced migration at any layer. IPv8 also resolves IPv4 address exhaustion. Each Autonomous System Number (ASN) holder receives 4,294,967,296 host addresses. The global routing table is structurally bounded at one entry per ASN.

FSF trying to contact Google about spammer sending 10k+ mails from Gmail account

Does anyone on the fediverse either work on the #gmail team at #Google or know someone who does? I am looking for an email address that would go to a human employee that I can report real problems to. I have a bug report that should easily identify a spammer that sent 10,000+ spam emails through gmail last week. I have sent many reports through the abuse form previously, but those do not seem to result in any response or a solution to the problems that I report.
