Tbh I don't think its coordinated man. They're all just reporting on the same story.


Funny that the same group of people who are so morally superior and condemn the Jeffrey Epstein's of the world are really fucking quiet about Matt Gaetz being appointed attorney general. But yes, let's vote Trump for Ross. 🤡🤡


Unpopular opinion: still nostr. I don't care about zaps tbh.


I feel like this fact isn't talked about enough. The supreme court gave the president immunity from prosecution in the most bs decision ever. That alone should've been enough to kill his political career in the land of the free but his supporters are way too far up his ass to see the truth.

Oh so relays are going to need to be modified to not check for a signature then? How will a relay know that a given event is meant to be unsigned? I think having a dedicated kind would simplify this.

I've been slowly selling my bitcoin for a down payment on a house. I plan on buying more once I own a home but I see nothing wrong with spending your money. What's the point of saving if you never spend it.


Oh dear god. That probably smelt awful


Hmmm well shouldn't this NIP be optional then?


Hmmm well shouldn't this NIP should be optional then?


Ohhh I see. I'd always heard negentropy discussed in the context of syncing relays.


Negentropy should NEVER be mandatory. There is a whole usecase for relays as private communities where users do not want their notes to go anywhere but that specific relay and this NIP would just kill that use case. Its also very complex and makes building a simple relay more difficult. Optional NIP is the best option IMO.


Isn't it the meme "men only want one thing and its fucking disgusting"?


Lol the irony https://image.nostr.build/3c8cec7ee42ccfc6cf6c4d2b1409e9ce025d352b3d383f8dbe5d69c339ebfc78.jpg


Well for your sake and your countries sake I hope you're right.


Truly, do you believe this? Genuinely asking.


Lol he's such a clown. He lost my respect long ago but this just proves the point further.


What are you going on about? Aren't we talking about ICANN and whether or not they regular censor/take down domains?


"Domains regularly get taken down or censored". Mind elaborting on that and providing some evidence? I'm not doubting you that domains can and do get taken down by ICANN. But regularly? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.


#Amethyst has anyone ever reported this bug? My media player in the top widget menu will show amethyst "playing" a post? Its really annoying if the last thing I did on my phone before getting into my car was scrolling amethyst. Then when my phone connects to my car it won't auto play music as I expect but will auto play an amethyst post. Which makes no sense, I'm not sure why a normal text post is being treated as media to play in the background. Like a given post won't even have a GIF, audio or video linked to it.


This is non-negotiable in many corporate environments because of higher ups needing assurances that things are going according to plan. Not because taking this approach builds good software. Where I work, the higher ups are always asking for requirement specs and design documents and I sink so much god damn time writing these while the implementation is already being written. By the time I finish a draft of a doc, the implementation is out of sync with the spec and it needs to be updated creating more useless work. The higher ups truly believe that specs are driving the implementation while all the devs laugh (and cry) knowing our code drives the spec. And this isn't just a me problem. Even our most senior engineers know this and are constantly updating the specs and hate doing it. Because they know its not possible to think of every little thing before starting to code.

This is a garbage take by the kind of people who probably also believe having doctors, engineers, lawyers pass an exam and are certified means something. Its all performative, we're all hairless monkeys figuring it out.


Is there a good resource you would recommend for learning how to run a node properly? I never seem to get it right (particularly channel management)


Yeah I'm with you on that. I really don't care for zaps at all and I think most people (non-bitcoiners) also don't care.


My grand father passed away 8 years ago as of August. Not a day goes by when I don't think of him. He was the kind of man most of us work hard to be, but he just was. He was wise, caring and he didn't give a damn what people thought about him. Unapologetically himself. And he loved to make people laugh. He was the life of the party. Family get togethers just aren't the same without him. He taught me so much. He was also wicked smart. For a guy who didn't even finish high school and worked his whole life underground, he could fix or build you anything. Thanks for sharing. I love hearing about special people like that as it makes me think of him.


Yeah I think this is the cleanest way


I may be missing something but I'm pretty sure its not competing with nostr. Essentially, using mainline DHT (which torrent clients use) and a public/private keypair, it's a decentralized way to create name records. So for example you can sign a message with your keypair saying I want to claim www dot abh3po dot com, direct it to x.y.z.w IP address and publish it to the DHT using the PKARR protocol and now that domain will resolve to your server. No need for ICANN. Though one of the devs told me it won't necessarily work in the browser out of the box this way.

Regardless, its not just for domain names, any names can claimed in this way. You could have a record resolve to an npub or a bitcoin wallet address. You would need whatever nostr client or bitcoin wallet to use PKARR to resolve these names but if it did, then you have permissionless and decentralized DNS.


I think it just clicked for me. We can create records for all kinds of stuff, not just domains. All without needing a centralized authority like ICANN. This is really cool. Now I want to play with it.

Also, how are naming conflicts resolved?


I think it just clicked for me. We can create records for all kinds of stuff, not just domains. All without needing a centralized authority like ICANN. This is really cool. Now I want to play with it.


Okay I think I get it. Using PKARR and Mainline DHT, you create a public/private key pair and now you have a way to have public keys resolve in a web browser. And I'm guessing you can update these records to have your key point to any server that you want. No more needing to buy a URL and registering it the normal way. Does this do away with TLS as well? It seems there's more to this but I need more time to digest and read through.


Idk if I agree. What trainwreck would come with a Harris admin?


Tbh, I have lost a lot of respect for bitcoiners who are voting for Trump solely because he promised to free Ross and ignore his shitcoin schemes, and undemocratic actions during his term. Your heads are so far up his ass, you can't see the man for what he is: a power hungry politician who sold himself out to gain power. This isn't me saying that Kamala Harris is perfect and has no flaws. She's a cookie cutter politician. But what is wrong with that? What is wrong with business as usual? Trump isn't going to make things better and neither will she but at least she's predictable. Its Trumps unpredictability that is scary and when you hold as much power as the US President, that certainly isn't a desirable quality.


I think season 4 or 5 is when I gave up. First two seasons are peak.


Man I find people are so harsh on Russian people. Its not easy to leave Russia even if you wanted to and to speak up against that government is making a death wish for you and your family. We all act tough and pretend that we would speak truth to power in a similar situation but we would all likely cowar in fear. Its important we distinguish the Russian government from the Russian people. And if any Russians do vocally support their government, yes then fuck those people.


Relay list to discover the user's content


That is cum, that is fucking cum, that is a load, there's fucking cum on your burger man.


An invite link could be an encoded event that a user already part of a given community generates. The user already in the community requests a challenge string from the relay, put that challenge string somewhere in a special event with unique kind, then encode it. That encoded event is then given to a new user that we want joining the community. The event should contain a relay URL and the challenge string (maybe an expiration date too). Then they create an auth message with that challenge string before it expires and send it to the relay to register.


I've had a snow shovel go missing lmao


This sounds a lot like Asimov's foundation, what a cool concept haha


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality_in_Canada

Not law but the CRTC has told them they can't. So maybe don't lawyer up *yet* but do report it to the CRTC. Much cheaper and easier a step (though admitedely less badass) than starting your own ISP.


Pretty sure that's illegal in Canada. I'd lawyer up. Torrenting isn't illegal, you torrented the bitcoin white paper


What if Web of Trust was instead built on "vouching". Imagine a relay where to join, an existing whitelisted user must vouch for you (aka cryptographically sign a message that a new user has signed). Then you could do a few things: 1. The relay operator could configure the relay to automatically allow a new user based on degree of separation. Say you set a maximum degree of separation of 3, that means only users you directly vouch for and people you directly vouched for are vouching for are allowed. Said otherwise, you trust yourself, trust your friends and you trust their friends but no further. 2. Users of this relay can also filter by degree of separation. 3. Whenever a bad actor is let in, you can see who let them in. Then you can choose to investigate or set some rule like if 3 people you vouched for are kicked out, then you're also kicked out.


I don't think you should feel too bad. But there is room for improvement. Something that would be nice in Amethyst that Instagram used to do is to have a clear break in the feed that tells you when you're caught up. I think device notifications are inherently part of addictive design IMO. My amethyst notifs don't work so I'm actually happy about that. Maybe they should be off by default? (Opt in versus opt out). I also think content discovery is part of the addictiveness of social media. Remember Facebook pre news feed, did any of us give a shit about discovering new content?


Idea: a new method of AUTH on a relay based on Web of Trust/degree of separation. You configure your relay to allow a max degree of separation (say 3). Then when a new user connects to your relay and gets the AUTH message, not only must they sign an AUTH message but so does one other user already on the relay white list (to essentially vouch on your behalf). The person vouching for you must have had their auth message signed by the relay operator/admin or by someone that the admin vouched for directly or someone they vouched for directly up to the degree of separation limit.

You can even enforce moderation this way where if someone let's in a bad actor, both the bad actor and the person that vouched for them gets kicked out. If someone you vouched for is kicked out, you get a strike up to a maximum of three (or some other configurable value) #nostr #dev

Colour coding. Posts destined for account X's feed are red, account y's feed green. I have similar ideas for distinguishing from which relay a given post is from too.


Ahhh okay I sweat when I sleep but I don't wake up in a cold soggy mess. And I don't have interrupted sleep. I'm probably fine then haha


Is sweating when you sleep a bad thing?


*More flexible for relay operators to switch dbs or keep the db and switch the relay when the query language is simple.

I think there's two things we (nostr community) could do: 1. Find out generally what people want/what clients are already doing. 2. Find some commonality from existing query languages. I think whatever query language nostr lands on will be a subset of what is found in 1 and 2.


What kind of complex queries do you want? What kind of complex queries are out there in the wild right now?

IMO this is a large ask and complexity can become out of hand very quickly and all of a sudden implementing a relay includes and implementing an entire query language. Everyone is saying "let's use SQL". Which flavour of SQL? And then relays are locked into using only SQL databases of that flavour or writing some translation layer that can be riddled with bugs and security issues.

The simple query language lowers the attack surface and makes it easier and more flexible for relay operators. That doesn't mean we can't add complexity to the existing query language but let's be very careful here.


Is it that bright to the naked eye?


Richard Heart


What in the Alabama is this?


Okay here's an idea. Just spitballing here. What if there was a dedicated app on your phone that has your nsec. Then whenever you want to sign in on a new nostr app or sign into an existing one, you scan a QR code with this dedicated app which will prompt you asking "do you trust this app?" If you tap yes, the app signs some message with you nsec and produces a temporary signed credential and sends the signature and credential to the nostr app. Now either in browser or in app, you are signed in and you have this temporary credential. The temporary credential is then used by the nostr app to talk to your dedicated app on your behalf to sign events. Said otherwise, you're using the nostr app, you say like a note or create one or react, it will send the note and the temporary credential to your dedicated app and your app will validate the credential, sign the note and send it back to the nostr app all automatically. At any point, you can revoke the credential in the dedicated app, modify the permissions, etc. and of course the credential is temporary so the nostr app will prompt you to re-authenticate once it expires.

This does require your dedicated app to be online when you're using the nostr apps. We could even explore something like OIDC where you have an auth provider service that is always online to provide this service on your behalf.


Wait what??? There's no voice in your head? What about when you read?


I think both can exist. Personally I'm not a fan of the feed type social media paradigm. I think some relays can be strung together to create a web backing this kind of global feed and other relays can service individual communities.


Has force ever not been equal to mass*acceleration? No but that doesn't mean Newton was right. Its a good model of physics in many applications but it has its shortcomings. Einsteins theory of relativity is far closer to the answer than Newton's model.

Are politicians known to be corrupt? Absolutely. Will they continue to be corrupt? Most likely but you don't approach new situations with your biases and then find evidence that matches your world view. You look at every situation indepedentely, look at all the facts, then draw your conclusions. Einstein's own biases cloud his judgement when evaluating quantum mechanics he said "God doesn't roll dice". Yet he was wrong, quantum mechanics is the best model of the atom we have currently.


I'm not saying all conspiracy theories are wrong nor should they be dismissed. But a huge problem I have with this kind of thinking is its mostly anti-scientific. Instead of looking at the facts and drawing conclusions, typically people with this kind of thinking have drawn conclusions and then find evidence to support it. Example: the whole COVID-19 plandemic theory that governments around the world conspired to make a pandemic and then use the opportunity to implement authoritarian rule over people. Typically, these people already held the view that governments are waiting for the opportunity to tighten their grips, power hungry monsters, etc. Then when the pandemic happened and governments *did* employ authoritarian measures, it fit their narrative and so it must be true. But now in 2024, we can see they were wrong. The world didn't slip into full on authoritarianism as they said they would with vaccine passports still in effect, police check points, bread lines, etc. Should governments have this kind of power? Were the authoritarian measures justified or worth it? Those are different questions. But the point stands, I find in Bitcoin/Nostr communities this kind of thinking pervasive. If holding this opinion makes me an NPC then so be it.


How are you mocking these up BTW? Looks amazing :)


LMDB?


Yeah I feel like that's such a common misconception about weight loss that you can just burn off the weight. If it was that easy, the human race would be extinct. During our hunter gatherer era, we would've spent more energy hunting and gathering the food than what the food could provide us. Our bodies are great at burning a somewhat fixed amount of energy regardless of lifestyle. Diet is the true key to weight loss.


Metal water bottles >>>> I previously owned a glass bottle, took it everywhere including to the bouldering gym. I put it down on the ground, someone accidentally knocked it over and it shattered. Never again.


100% I would much rather have a safe way to remotely sign then have key rotations.


Yeah I would tell him about running his own relay and how he can moderate all he wants as well as require verification.

I think what he and people like him need to realize is the damage caused by social media has been done. There's no undoing it, atleast not in an easy way. But moving forward if we migrate to protocols like nostr, we can help reduce these effects. But we will never fully remove it. There's always going to be a place like 4chan where these crazy ideas proliferate. But we can return to a time where those people are rare and fringe instead of half the voting population.


I saw this video literally 30 minutes ago and thought the same thing. I'm relieved to see his own fans disagreeing with him. There is still hope. Its funny, minus requiring verification and stuff like that, he's circling towards nostr IMO. Maybe IRL over a beer, he could be convinced that nostr could be the solution.


Even if his UTXO isn't anonymized, its still a fuck you to the state. They can't stop people from doing it. Only punish them for doing it.


Tbh I really don't care for zaps at all and I don't think most people do or will. There I said it. I like Bitcoin, I like using it but I just don't care for zaps.


Isn't the current meta for clients to have a local db for notes? Then you could just make a local query for reactions.


I thought so but google came up with different looking things. I think they're actually invasive species, chinese stink bugs


I think a goal for humanity should be to ensure the universe is experienced by as many different life forms as possible. For us this translates to ensuring as few species as possible become extinct.


Recaptcha would have to become a NIP since all of this happens over websockets and not basic HTTP. And then nostr clients would need to add support for recaptcha.


"Feeling cute, idk might delete later"


I guess it depends how it all unfolds. We likely won't be around to say "I told you so" one way or the other haha


Sure but its not as simple as stating it. There is continued effort to make it distributed. A world where this technology exists is one where I imagine many other great technologies exist. Like ones to maneuver massive asteroids through space to bring them into stable orbits near celestial bodies flesh world people live on and can mine them. With that comes the power to destroy entire continents, planets. The digital people will need flesh world representatives to defend them and constantly ensure the safety and distributed-ness of the network. Distributed over many planets? Anyway, this will be a heavily trust based relationship. Idk to me it seems your outsourcing those concerns to pretend to live in this world, away from violence and the woes of flesh world but in reality, are still subject to it.


Does amethyst have WoT filtering? If no, when?


That seems like a bad idea. There will always be IRL humans or conscious beings who could shut everything down. You're at the mercy of their violence no?


How you experience art is not the same question as whether or not the output of an AI model is art.

It is interesting that ai generated images evokes those emotions in you. I find them souleless and same-y for the most part. But as you pointed out, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But yes, to me what makes art is the human behind it or the experience of consuming it. Both can be art. But without both, you have products. Its why even in a distant or not so distant future where ai generated music is topping charts and many people are enjoying it, those same people are unlikely to go to a concert for such things. There will be some people that would of course and its interesting to imagine what an ai concert would look like but part of going to concerts nowadays is to support a band you love, feel the energy from them performing live, from the crowd, feeling the passion for the music they wrote ooze out of them. With ai generated music, you won't get that though consuming the songs may invoke similar feelings as it the ai generated image did for you.


I don't agree at all and I'm not sure our current understanding of the human brain is in line with what you're saying. Humans don't go about the world predicting the right word to say next. There is understanding of what was said to them to help formulate the response. Also the choice of words you use may change based on who you're talking to, the socio-economic context you're in, etc. There is certainly an element of memorization for learning language and even how we engage with the world but it is much more complex than simply predicting or curve fitting.

If human brains worked this way, GPT models would be much better than they are and wouldn't need millions of training data points  and thousands of learning hours to mimic what we do. There are obviously very large differences in how we think and how these algorithms work.


I don't agree. The difference is humans are capable of creating something new. Being inspired by previous works. Currently, AI isn't creating something new because it doesn't think, reason, doesn't have lived experience, etc. It is an algorithm which given some inputs (the prompt) is predicting what is the most likely combination of pixels to output based on its training set. Its why you ask a model produce a cartoon crab underwater and it gives you something reminiscent of Mr. krabs from sponge Bob (since that was part of the training set). You ask a human to do this and you will get wildly different results based on the person and their lived experience.

One day when ai is better I'll agree, but right now its hardly ai to begin with and more a fancy curve fitting algorithm.

Not to mention this argument feels like it misses the point: as a creator it feels so shitty knowing you built something and shared it on some platform only for the platform to use it to make money off your work. It may also be illegal, though thats a different story altogether. I don't think any amount of "well acshually all art is stolen content" will change that.

Lmao GPTo1 is just using the python scripts people built to chain prompts together in the background based on your initial prompt for tasking/agents (I e. Break down the steps, then make each step its own prompt, summarize the result, ask if it matches with original prompt, etc.). This is nothing new.


Dude what the hell are your replies? Most of them are completely off topic (e.g. cycling article, sjw meme, etc.). It seems nostr has a way bigger bot problem than I thought.


Fuck me this is awesome! Definitely going down a hot reload rabbit hole


Yeah actually that's exactly what the law says. Here's a link to the Australian government website summarizing the law: https://www.ag.gov.au/crime/publications/abhorrent-violent-material-act-fact-sheet

They explain what the definition of abhorrent content is:

"Abhorrent violent material is limited to very specific categories of the most egregious, violent audio, visual or audio-visual material produced by a perpetrator or their accomplice. The definition includes video, still images (including a series of still images) and audio recordings.

It must stream or record conduct where a person engages in a terrorist act (involving serious physical harm or death of another person), murders or attempts to murder another person, tortures another person, rapes another person or kidnaps another person (where the kidnapping involves violence or the threat of violence). This conduct is referred to as ‘abhorrent violent conduct’. The definition does not include material recording animated, re-enacted or fictionalised conduct."

I still don't agree with the law but this isn't about the ability to criticize a government at all.


Link? The link the one dude shared in this thread doesn't mention text content at all.


Where are you getting that you can no longer criticize the government from? Doesn't the law only target visual depictions of abhorrent content like terrorist acts? Don't get me wrong the law is dumb but I'm not seeing how this means they can't criticize the government.

A book I disliked and I assume is written more for men is Shogun by James Clavell. The characters don't feel like real human beings but more like embodiements of certain ideas. And it focuses heavily on tactics (makes sense considering the author is a vet). But then I absolutely love ASOIF and I find George R R Martin focuses more on characters and stories rather than descriptions. Idk if this helps. BTW I'm a man.


Pure guess: it's just iterative meaning the output is refined by feeding it to a different LLM.


I thought I was the only one!!! It only happens on amethyst though.


A relay where notes require an ecash stamp to be accepted?


Idk that feels like bs. If you're super paranoid then you probably don't trust anything you aren't hosting yourself. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence IMO.


Another problem with external dependencies is they're very much a black box. Unless the dependency is well documented, at some point you may end up spending the same or more time reading code, understanding the dependency rather than just writing your own.


I'm trying to understand nostrdb and lmdb better in general. I think I have a good grasp of B+ tree and how they keys in the nodes/leaves are the primary index. But I saw that in nostrdb, there are additional fields of notes that are indexed. How does this work? #asknostr #dev


But also, these guys are blind to their own leader. Elon has bent the knee in Turkey and in India and has censored accounts there. And the likely reason is that it would affect sales of Tesla/Starlink in those jurisdictions. What a free speach hero...

Unrelated: confluence is a bug.


100% agree with this. I would love a standard kind for recipes. Instructions and ingredients could be in tags or something.


I remember a controversial decision was to not cap the supply and instead do endless inflation (albeit on a known, fixedscheduled). Several years later, how do you feel about that decision? Also what is CoinSwap?


Wow is this project alive?


Damn really? Can you link it to me?


I have a vision for my ideal nostr client and maybe it'll resonate with you. I'd like a client that has dedicated, separate feeds for each relay I'm subscribed to. That way, adding a new relay feels like joining a community. I want a feature that Instagram used to have which is it will tell you when you've caught up on your feed. I liked this, I found it helped me timebox my usage of social media. I want it to have no discovery outside of the search. Finding new npubs to follow is more organic and word-of-mouth. It's way less efficient but it's a way to effortlessly restrain yourself from sinking hours into something that really should be a tool.


Is this possible to do in Canada? I worked for a company that provided ISP software and hardware to smaller ISPs but never bothered to learn the logistics of starting one.


I'm with you on that one. Until we get actual definitive proof, I'm a skeptic. I'm definitely hopeful we'll find something under the ice on Europa or something though.


Holy shit! This is a treasure trove! Why haven't I heard of this before! Amazing :)


Huh for once I'm advocating for the use of LLMs lol. Anyway, you could have an LLM go through notes and try to sort them by topic. It seems notes and topics have a many-to-many relationship. And you could have people maybe comment on a given note-topic relationship to explain how accurate they feel it is? Or maybe, topics are things different users create that they can share with others. Each user can assign a note they feel belongs to a given topic and then when you search by topic, you get user submitted groupings of notes? Then another user could copy that grouping of notes, change the topic name if they like, add/remove notes to the grouping and then publish it again? Idk I'm just spit balling

I'm sorry, what exactly did Elon do for freedom of speech? He's been complying with government take downs in India and other markets where he wants Tesla to be sold. What a free speech hero.


Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the oodles of money printing that happened during covid right? Hahaha


Yeah a breakthrough or a re-thinking. I'm no AI expert but based on my understanding of LLMs, this is not what will get us to AGI. It's just  n-dimensional regression or find the pattern in the data. And don't get me wrong, it works pretty well but we keep anthropormizing them, claiming they "know" or "hallucinate" or "remember". They do none of these things, much like my line of best fit through a chart does none of these things. It's a large equation for predicting the next word when giving other words as input. We need to be able to add to a model understanding but how we do that? No fucking clue.


I won't speak for nostr:nprofile1qqs2tkttddq55y5ht07gpun8y8yq2vrs3lhqq79mj58vgx90fyaknpgprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9wd6x2unwvf6xxtnrdakj7av6hxm but I'm of the same opinion because I don't really find AI useful for me. Code generation AI is trash, I'm much more efficient without it. And to ask it questions for researching a topic is also a waste of time because you don't know if it provided factual information, omitted something key or just flat out fabricated the response. I end up needed to fact check it anyway. I do like it for exploring some creative ideas, for example asking for ideas to start a project or something and using it as a launch pad from there. Or for summarizing an email or something I've written (I don't trust the summaries generated for text others have written). But I rarely ever do those things.


Mais d'après ce que j'ai entendue, Elon ne s'est pas mêler dans les affaires du Brésil. Plutôt, le gouvernement du Brésil a plusieurs reprises, a demandé X de banir certains comptes brésiliens parce que ces gens selon eux, propageaient de la désinformation. Mais il y a des rapports que ces gens étaient critiques du gouvernement du Brésil. Selon moi, Elon a bien fait de les résister.

Voilà la difficulté, on fait confiance a ceux en pouvoir de ne pas abuser leurs pouvoirs mais c'est justement ça: nous devons les faires confiances. Ce n'est pas garantie qu'ils ne le feront pas. Et moi en tout cas, j'ai très peu confiance en ceux aux postes de pouvoirs. La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamentale des humains et cela s'applique partout sans exception (même si certains gouvernements ne sont pas d'accord).

It's true that freedom of speech comes at the price of people being able to spread misinformation and say hurtful things. But that is a fair trade off compared to the alternative which is allowing a group of people the ability to dictate what can and can't be said. That power when wielded in the wrong hands has proven time and and time again throughout history to lead to authoritarianism, tyranny and suffering far greater than anything free speech can enable. And I completely disagree with you that an AGI ruler will make this better as they will be subject to the same biases or worse, biases we don't understand. Not to mention that we are very very far away from AGI.

When it comes to disinformation, the best cure against that is education. It's time we as a society stop outsourcing our thinking to others. We must take the time to continue our learning every day, only then can we maintain freedom of speech and combat misinformation. Not by letting a group of elites decide what is the Truth™


Because it's really not that interesting a topic. It's just money. The first few convos sure but after a while, it gets old.


All I will say is: stay tuned


I think the big hurdle is client support because AFAIK, there is nothing stopping a relay from running on clearnet and Tor using torrc as we speak.


Ah I see what you're saying. For sure the users matter, otherwise we're building things for nobody. On that note: if there was an easy to deploy and use relay, would you run one?


Coming from a genuine place right now: 1. What makes you think developers think they're the ones running shit. 2. What makes you think that they don't?


What would that look like? As I understand it, you could run a relay behind a hidden service right now. Do you mean that?


There is a protocol for syncing distributed databases called negentropy that does something similar to what you're describing. And although your solution works on paper, there are trade offs. 1. Relays become bloated as every relay needs a copy of every event making it harder for anyone to run a relay. 2. This would certainly make queries for events slower as a result (since now there are so many events to go through to find the right ones). 3. Relays can no longer serve small isolated communities that know nothing about the rest of the nostr network and instead serve one giant public square removing some flexibility in the network.


Places to spend it and someone or something to manage a lightning node for me. God I hate channel management.


And to be clear you have no idea about the existence of relay A in my example*


What you're describing works for events/messages that a relay has received but I think she's describing the situation where your favourite nostr account is posting to two relays for example, relay A and relay B. You grab your events from relay B but maybe the newest event from your fav nostr account somehow didn't make it to relay B. And you would have no idea.

I really like the idea of communities on relays more and more everyday. Like other than the fact that my nostr client gives me a default set of nostr relays to connect to, why the hell am I connected to nostr.wine for example? Are all the someliers of nostr congregating there? If no, why aren't they? They should be and then anytime I want to peak into the somelier world, I connect to nostr.wine. Fuck the global town square.


Woah!! What the heck is this? Your npub can be a web page?


I agree. I found on Twitter the toxic retards who were dogmatic aboutBitcoinn, were very confrontational, hot headed and close minded contributed nothing to Bitcoin and were not builders. I don't see them on nostr since most of them are big Elon simps too.


Okay here are my findings:
- strfry seems to treat REQs with the same subID as replaceable: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry/blob/32a367738c6db7430780058c4a6c98b271af73b2/src/QueryScheduler.h#L23
- gnost-relay just overwrites, doesn't check for duplicates at all: https://github.com/barkyq/gnost-relay/blob/817ff549b2f4b078d984abec9105010555e76e80/main.go#L661
- nostr-rs-relay replaces: https://git.sr.ht/~gheartsfield/nostr-rs-relay/tree/master/item/src/conn.rs#L118
- nostream ignores duplicates: https://github.com/cameri/nostream/blob/b6133a18fde1bba396bc04419adc39f186ea8eb0/src/handlers/subscribe-message-handler.ts#L92
- nnostr replaces: https://github.com/Kukks/NNostr/blob/78753daa9c0a81adebab1b50ebea923de654036a/Relay/StateManager.cs#L56

So 4/5 I've looked at replace, only one rejects duplicates.

How do you do this? Is it just markdown quote blocks or is there something else going on?


Good article but I find it strange when people in the Bitcoin/Nostr community post these as if this is an actual Forbes journalist writing it. This is an opinion piece from a frequent commentator using their platform. They even say that the opinions expressed are the authors and the authors alone.


What about when you unfollow someone? Wouldn't that require a REQ update? Ignoring duplicate subids would mean you would need to close the REQ and open a new one no?


I'll start looking at different implementations and see what I find.


NIP-01 is a little ambiguous around REQ messages. One part of the nip says "(...) a new `REQ` is sent using the same `<subscription_id>`, in which case relay MUST overwrite the previous subscription."

And the other part regarding CLOSED messages gives an example of one being sent when a REQ is received having the same subscription id.

Which one is it? are REQs like replaceable events? #asknostr


Something to just try*


Normally I'm way more inclined to research health related stuff before subscribing to it but IMO, this is something you just have to try before doing. You get this glowing feeling after doing it. It's divine!


I'm not American but regardless I think it's asking a lot of people to leave their family, friends and their whole life behind to move to El Salvador, which isn't perfect either.


Considering the outbox model, wouldn't that make sense? Not all 800 of your follows post to the same relays to which you have filters. You should be subscribing to their outbox relays right?


Good question, I don't know off the top of my head. Did a quick search and found this.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/todays-climate-change-proves-much-faster-than-changes-in-past-65-million-years/

About 10 times faster than previous warming periods in the last 65 million years. Would be cool to find papers talking about this and learn more.


Sure but normal warming during interglacial periods happens slow, slow enough for life to adapt. Unlike the current rate of warming which is far exceeding historical warming periods (outside cataclysmic events like volcanism/asteroid impacts). That is the concern.


I totally acknowledge and know that atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperatures have risen sharply in the past due to volcanism or asteroid impacts. And guess what? Those events coincide and correlate with mass extinction events. I am not making the claim that this is unprecedented, I'm saying it's concerning and why we don't generally include periods of time when the earth was warmer due to natural, slow cycles in the conversation about climate change because it's more comparable to other times in history when CO2 levels and temperatures rose sharply.


The first article you shared says this:

"The model calculated the monthly change in Earth’s energy balance caused by the eruption and showed that water vapor could increase the average global temperature by up to 0.035°C over the next 5 years. That’s a large anomaly for a single event, but it’s not outside the usual level of noise in the climate system, Jenkins said."

The second article says this:

"The study says that, before the eruption, there was a 50-50 chance that global temperatures would exceed 1.5C above pre-industrial levels at least once by 2026. In its aftermath, the likelihood of exceeding this threshold has increased by seven percentage points – making “imminent 1.5C exceedance” more likely than not."

So although it has temporarily warmed the planet further, the major underlying cause is still because of the major excess of GHGs. So sure, maybe once all the water vapour cycles out of the stratosphere, global temperatures will cool slightly, but then again the amount of warming the water vapour may have caused is within the usual level of noise in the climate system. So even if we assume the last two winters are exceptionally mild because of the volcano, more winters like it are likely to come as the planet continues to warm.


Sorry contradicts your claim that the last 2 years are warm because of the volcano*


The NASA source you shared directly contradicts your claim that the last 2 years have been unusually warm.

"In contrast, the Tonga volcano didn’t inject large amounts of aerosols into the stratosphere, and the huge amounts of water vapor from the eruption may have a small, temporary warming effect, since water vapor traps heat. The effect would dissipate when the extra water vapor cycles out of the stratosphere and would not be enough to noticeably exacerbate climate change effects."


CO2 levels should be a concern though since it's causing global average temperatures to rise too quickly.

The boreal forest in north america has evolved to expect significant snowfall over the winter which melts in the spring and feeds rivers, lakes and the soil keeping the forest moist. The last two winters have been absolutely mild with little snowfall. It's actually insane. I grew up in Northern Ontario where snow begins to fall/accumulate in early November and stays until late May. At the peak of winter we have 8ft snow banks. Snow mobile season usually lasts from early December to April. The last two years, its been a few weeks. There was so little in winter 2022 and so little rain in spring 2023 that we had major forest fires throughout northern Ontario and Quebec with smoke affecting daily life all the way to New York City! I know forest fires are normal but those very mild winters (that I have never seen in my life, nor has my father or his father) are causing forests to dry up which impacts so many things. And then warmer air means warmer oceans and that greatly affects ocean currents and marine life... You see where I'm going with this?


Species are 100% collapsing: check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGjCB0Up3U4


I don't think that is omitted from the conversation especially because compared to previous warmer eras with no ice at the poles, the change in temperature occurred over millions of years so life had a chance to slowly adapt. Which is not at all the same as what's happening now.


Have you read three-body problem? If not, highly recommend


I love this analogy and I think shows a dichotomy in the nostr world. One side is trying to replicate Twitter where clients are aggregating feeds from many relays and making it feel more like a global public square. The other is thinking about smaller, niche communities with a barrier to entry of some sort (more akin to the early internet with forums). I think both can exist but I personally want to build for the latter and I think the latter is easier to monetize.


Is this Mishima?


Interesting. So I suppose we definitely want to use proper sources of randomness and hope there aren't any bugs that can cause a pattern to emerge. Any thoughts on EdDSA and how it deterministically generates the nonce? Can this sort of thing be implemented in Bitcoin/nostr libraries (assuming it's good and solves the issue)?


If I understand correctly, you want to make sure that whenever you generate a nonce for your ECDSA signatures, they should be as random as possible and should never be reused because it's simple to derive the secret key from the signature and the nonce.

I imagine that in both nostr and bitcoin, this is known and applications are designed with this in mind? Is ensuring random, non-reused nonces that hard to do?


I think its three things: 1. Unfortunately because of shit coins, NFTs, blockchain grifters and all the crypto related scams (FTX for example), most people lump it all together, bitcoin included as worthless and scammy. It will take some serious PR work to distance bitcoin from those scams or some amazing app that make people look passed this association. 2. Most people's introduction to Bitcoin is by some tool who bought it trying to get rich quick so it is usually associated with investing instead of as a currency. First impressions are crucial. 3. UX. Getting bitcoin, you have to sign up on some exchange (associated with scamminess) or go to an ATM (sketchy). In the best case scenario, someone gifts you some bitcoin so you skip this part. Now storing it if you have anything of value is also strange and difficult. You have to buy a hardware wallet and learn about all of that. Even with a phone wallet, you learn about seed phrases and what it means and I imagine some people feel intimidated by the responsibility. I know most people I introduced this to did so I end up holding their corn -_-. And let's not get started about lightning UX. Anything non custodial is a nightmare for normies. And finally, say you got passed all that. Now what? Almost nobody will accept bitcoin for payment. You have to go out of your way to find merchants who will accept it and even then you're quite limited. I think if the UX could be better than what's already out there, people would use it. Or necessity will drive people to it (e.g. Africa or Latin America).


Just delete twitter. I remember when I had it, the excuses I made for keeping it "I follow good accounts with great info", " I only use it for news". It was all mental gymnastics, the addiction talking. After deleting and the withdrawals subsided, I immediately felt way better. I don't miss it at all, I don't feel like I'm missing out.


Similar problem here in Canada except that we don't have Zelle or Venmo and people don't use PayPal. Everyone uses e-transfers. Such a garbage UX. Or cash.


But this is exactly why you do want a purpose built device. I own a 2014 macbook pro and started using crypto currency in 2017. I started with shitcoins, now I'm only bitcoin. But regardless I had a wallet file saved to a USB stick but one day, I checked my funds and they were gone. I consider myself pretty computer literate and to this day, I still don't know how my wallet was swept. Was this laptop air gapped as you're proposing? No, but IMO that is way easier to fuck up than just using a HWW.


Question: would it be possible to do time based delegation? To be more clear, I mean say you have a nostr webapp that you'd like to use, so you create some delegated keys, those keys are stored in the browser (think JWT tokens) and eventually expire. And a new fresh pair can be renegotiated later. This would allow users to sign/send events using the app but without needing constant approval from the remote signer (I'm think a chat app that uses your nostr keys, it would be a pain to have to constantly use my remote signer as opposed to just using it once for a session). Is this kind of scheme possible or even advisable?


I'll be honest, my worldview changed after becoming interested in Bitcoin. Nothing wrong with changing your views when new information comes along. I'm still learning and changing my opinion on stuff today.


I'm sorry your evidence is ChatGPT output? Are you retarded?


Oh if I understand what you're saying, if you have multiple values in the single letter tag
```json
{
    "#t": ["gm", " bloom"]
}
```
The relay should interpret that as "events with the "gm" OR "bloom" as values for the "t" tag? And this proposal using "&t" would make "events with "gm" AND "bloom"?


This helped! Thanks. So I guess single letter tag filters just look like this?
```json
{
    "#t": [
        " gm"
    ]
}
```


Really random question: what do nostr tag filters actually look like? NIP-1 describes it but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Is there a sample tag filter somewhere?


I feel like this is a perfect example of cultivation theory. The media we consume (books, movies, shows, YouTube videos, etc.) are well crafted narratives where everything about that world is carefully crafted by an author. And that shapes our world view. But the world isn't like that. There isn't some author in control of everything. Sometimes things happen and there's no link. I feel like the Bitcoin/nostr space is filled with people who think this way.


Oh man I desperately want to see the salt in the comments but it's not worth making an account on that hellscape of a platform.

Lol I know what it's for. I don't think you're following this convo.


Refresh token so you don't need to log in every 15 minutes (because session token should not be long lived). There isn't much trusting to do with the ID provider. You have to trust that the software works. It's like using the "login with Google" or "login with Facebook" buttons. They also use OIDC. In those cases, you have to trust them with your personal info. With this nostr ID provider, you hold the personal info on your device. We can maybe have some sort of encryption scheme between the nostr app and your phone app to make sure the info doesn't leak in transit. And tbh so far nostr apps have asked for your name, username, maybe an email. You can always enter fake or burner info in your device app so that nostr ID provider gets nothing. Its a very low trust system IMO.


Why would it defeat the point entirely? The nostr ID provider gives the nostr app a session token, refresh token and ID token so that you don't continuously have to log in everytime you click a button on the page.


What if we use OIDC. You're building your app and you want to allow nostr login. Your app uses OIDC via a nostr ID provider. This nostr ID provider connects with an app you have on your phone which is where your nsec is. Whenever you click "login with nostr" the nostr app uses OIDC and pings the nostr ID provider. Nostr ID provider then provides a NIP-97 auth URI back to the nostr app. Nostr app displays this URI as a QR code. Using the app on your phone, you scan this QR code. This will then prompt you to confirm you want to log into this site, and even what info you'd like to share with this site. All your personal info is stored only locally on device in the app and you could even create different profiles for different sites. Once you confirm, your app sends that in the form of NIP-97 auth message to nostr ID provider. Nostr ID provider then creates session token, refresh token and ID token and gives it back to nostr app. Voila you're logged in and you never had to enter your nsec anywhere.


Ahhh yes I remember being where you are now in my social media journey. The next step is deleting your Twitter. It felt like storm clouds that were hanging over me finally gave way to the sunshine.


It's starting!


Damn your UI looks good. Is this a special UI framework?


Wow that's incredible. That is how Canadian bureaucracy works as well though I'm not sure if one decision allows this or if it's just constitutional. Regardless politicians defer to bureaucrats to do the heavy lifting and there's no accountability.

ChatGPT is wrong about a lot of things. Ask it how many letter R are in the word strawberry and to tell you the index of the letters in the word. Or ask it to name ten fruit that end in 'ums': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXw4mZZXJNU


Works in Amethyst :)


I agree, it's an interesting theory you're implying here and worth consideration but applying scientific method: seek to disprove your own theory and see where it stands. Tbh I think its quite easy to pick this apart making it far more likely that ChatGPT isn't trying to sell you telegram but instead is just trained on text data that assumes it's good for privacy.


I switched to Linux Mint last year and haven't looked back. My gaming experience has been good. What games are you worried about?


I mean most of the "legit" AI stuff is kinda scammy anyway. It has its uses but its way over hyped and they promise the world.


The point I'm making is that many people have thought of this problem and implemented solutions like CDNs. And eventually the solution is so gargantuan, that it's no longer feasible to run a personal server. And we're back to square one. Personal servers aren't the solution, servers in general without a good way to rate limit/prevent spam are the problem.


I think we're underestimating just how badly shitcoins and all the crypto exchange scams, arrests, etc have tainted the reputation of all cryptocurrencies including bitcoin. Normies lump it all together, to them its all a scam or scam adjacent.

What happens when your personal served gets DDoS attack?


I think it's about solving problems. UX is important but remember that at some point in time, the concepts of a username and password and email address were very foreign to everyday people yet email still achieved mass adoption. I think the problem email solved more greatly outweighed the novel UX.

For nostr, people who care about digital sovereignty and decentralized social media are coming/have come. They don't care about the UX. Normies don't care about digital sovereignty and decentralized social media and so for them the UX cons outweigh any benefit. Normies will come once nostr solves a problem for them.

Hot damn, I just read that Stackoverflow is partnering with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into Stackoverflow. Regardless of how you feel about this move, it's certainly not coming from a place of strength. Stackoverflows traffic has been on the decline since early 2023 because of LLM usage.

This got me thinking, what if stack overflow can't be saved and the company shuts down. What happens to all those posts? This to me seems like a huge problem. Has anyone ever thought of 1. stackoverflow on nostr? 2. Archiving stackoverflow posts as notes? #asknostr #stackoverflow #openai #chatgpt

I like to think I'm pretty smart. I've had a very hard time running my own LN node. Starting with raspibolt.org my node froze up without me noticing and all my channels were force closed.

Tried again with a small lenovo thinkstation, my ssd Mount didn't persist after restarts, didn't notice for almost a year, again channels are force closed.

I can hear the "skill issue" in the distance. But the truth is running a LN node is hard. Even without the sys admin problems, I never figured out who I should open channels to, how much in those channels to be a good peer on the network. Tbh, I just don't have the time or interest in running a routing node. I much prefer the LSP model.

Looks dope!


What don't you like about it?


Yeah that's true. Though we can probably get a ballpark figure based on doctor journals describing skin cancer lesions on patients and extrapolate. It's not accurate but the best we can get.


That's actually incorrect, the average life expectancy of people before modern medicine was low because of the high amount of infant mortality (bringing down the average). But if you survived childhood, you could easily live into your 50s, 60s even 70s for some.Its's obviously way more common today but it wasn't unheard of in the past.


I get where you're coming from, I've also felt this way about a lot of topics but I think he has honest intentions with his video. Like I've also wondered if before the last 100-200 years we spent most of our lives outdoors, why is sun exposure only now a concern? Especially considering that they didn't have sunscreen before. I'm not saying let's just never wear sunscreen and stare into the sun but I think this topic is worthy of some healthy skepticism.


Good video! I just have a few critcisms:
- I appreciate the effort to show both sides and seem unbiased but I couldn't help but feel like you had a bias towards sun lover from the get go.
- It also felt like you didn't steelman the sun hater very well. You picked someone with a pretty fringe opinion (wear sunscreen indoors everyday).
- I think this video could've benefited from a bit more detail, getting into more of the science behind what the sun does, the history of the research that lead us to our modern beliefs around sun exposure, etc.
- maybe this is a topic for another video but I would've loved to learn about if sunscreen can impact your health at all


Considering the vastness of the universe, there's likely other forms of life somewhere. Did the Creator make them too? Or does each planet with life on it have its own Creator?

Agreed. It's trying to give prestige to something more akin to throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.


RIP green


Great write up! Thanks for doing this


This article is just reporting what the russian penal org said. I suppose they may have twisted the translation but there's not much here to believe or not believe.


Decentralized my ass


Javascript is the biggest pile of garbage ecosystem I've ever had the displeasure of working with and yet I can't escape it.


Really feels like they're trying to cram in as much stupid shit in these last two years as possible. Did you also see the hacker toy ban?


The meme doesn't say he doesn't provide sources. The meme says he fabricates evidence. Which he does.


I'm probably gonna get some flack for this but when basil isn't an option, oregano pesto is pree fucking good. Where my oregano fam at?


If I'm using a normal nostr client and I write a note with a link to a webpage and some other words, will it show up on satcom?


I don't get it, nostr uses websockets under the hood. Why do we neee webrtc?


Dude this is so dope. Can't wait to see discussions on wikipedia pages or code blogs, etc.


This game is filed with bangers

Idk man, it's hard to be excited for this when the world is already suffering from being addicted to our phones. This feels dystopian to me.


I don't think it should be illegal. I think overall, we need to start tolerating some level of bullying in schools again though. Social shaming so that only the weirdos will do this (behind closed doors) and it doesn't become common.


Fascinating


Something about this looks off. It looks like AI made it.


I'm not sure I agree. The fact that it has a price implies we value it (monetarily speaking). That value is essentially at the core of the networks security. If Bitcoin didn't have a price, then idk that Nakamoto consensus would work.


Very cool!


Are you locally hosting a text to image model? If so, which one are you using? Is it uncensored?


Is this supposed to be French? Jfc


Good tune!


Anyone else seeing this on nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a's profile? When you visit nostrverified.com it mentions the domain name expired.

Great summary! The whole aliens thing is a nothing burger IMO.


Though I agree with you, I think we are simultaneously downplaying LLMs. Google's AlphaCode2 can apparently score in the 90th percentile on a software problem solving test, one that requires humans to think and strategize about a problem before solving it. And not because LLMs are intelligent but because they can attempt many different solutions incredibly fast and converge on the optimal one. Similarly, many AI researchers are confident that LLMs will likely postulate a new mathematical theorem in the coming years.


Oh egui!! What made you decide on egui? I'm experimenting with using Bevy to make a GUI.


How would this work? Could it be a future nostr event?


For search, isn't the solution really similar to building a search engine? A "note-crawler" to try and index notes on nostr? Or maybe search will be done on a specific relay, no need to index all notes across nostr


This as a loading animation would be cool


This is a 10 IQ take. The vast majority of the countries urban centres and population live on or below the 49th parallel because most of what's north of that line is swamp. Also just because European cities are at higher latitudes doesn't mean the Canadian experience the same weather. Ever hear of oceanic currents?

I agree that we tend to favour politicians who make the problem worse. It's a really difficult and long process to get building permits and that's a huge problem. But just telling people to go build in the swamp, away from where their families and jobs are is dumb.


Honestly, I think social media in general is the reason for the acceleration of polarization. People don't talk to each other in person anymore. This leads to people forming opinions about the world based on their online interactions, where people are more hostile. And that leads people to be more xenophobic. I think if people spent more time talking to their neighbours than they did on social media, we'd be less divided.


Honest question: is centralization a concern for you under this model? Is there a threshold like a percentage of total users using an LSP that defines the line between decentralized and centralized?


What's NWC?


Stupid questions:
- if everything is in memory is there a concern of filling memory? If so how is that managed?
- if everything is in memory, won't the client need to populate the db after every restart of the app? Or is there some sort of persistent state carried across restarts?


Ah man, and you visited our worst city IMO. Montreal is much nicer. But glad you enjoyed it!


I feel like there's synergy between Nostr and Obsidian. Would be cool to make the two work together.
