Someone's building Minecraft server in Rust, & CPU usage is 20x better, and RAM performance 100x! 😲 https://image.nostr.build/31d5caa3d2439de56de492c8b6109b6c17674470f39c4e97a3425d22c9840946.jpg

I don’t like sharing graphic images but I just saw a Palestinian child burning alive trapped under the rubble of Israel’s latest “act of self-defence”.

A child. Burning alive.

Sick of pretending, it's some "war"

It will be like a Click & unlocked 🤔, much better experience.


Hey Calle, I need some suggestions. If you don't mind!

What would be the best approach for accepting a specified amount of Cashu tokens, getting confirmation, and transferring that amount to a Lightning wallet, specifically Alby wallets?

I’d prefer not to store tokens, but rather act as a real-time proxy to the Lightning address with confirmation.


Don't worry, the data is public by design. The real secret is away in the serverless functions environment. Custom encryption keys option in api is on the horizon!


Especially NWC, I just want to be more responsible with that.


Yes, it's possible. I'm currently working on proper nostr integration.


It doesn’t use a centralized database. The content URL is encrypted, packaged within the URL, & cryptographically signed to ensure integrity (preventing tampering of price and wallet address).

When you click on the URL, it performs calculations, compares the hash & verifies the URL. Once verified, it initiates the invoice creation, which now runs concurrently and can be canceled later if needed. Wallet providers have their own limitations.

Lambda serverless functions can scale up to millions of requests per second, but they have a warm-up time and noticeable latency, especially for users far from a data center. The new implementation uses Edge functions distributed worldwide, which is the best possible option currently.

The short URL is simply a lightweight edge proxy with caching, and in the browser's address bar, you’ll see the original URL.

Comparison https://image.nostr.build/8801968c747c59364fe05bf597b494bad6c174abd4475b6b98c1d714b5be0fd5.jpg


This API is accessible to everyone and incredibly straightforward. You can seamlessly incorporate it into nostr DM bots, and voilà, you've got a paid newsletter!

API will now provide both short and long URLs. The short URL acts as a proxy; when a user opens it in their browser, the original URL will appear in the address bar. https://image.nostr.build/11d03d52bc9c32518e26331c808c8e7e2de52c171d01eaffbd2bee5086d84224.jpg


Test


The zPay.live/api/gr API endpoint is now public for testing.

It encrypts your content, packages it as a URL with a cryptographic signature, and then shortens the URL. It handles all these steps for you, returning a paywalled URL.

Working on other endpoints
https://i.imgur.com/U7hy5gh.jpeg


Current zPay.live shareable paywall URL takes 2-3 sec to open & 1-2 sec to generate a payment invoice, which isn’t too bad. For U.S. users, it's slightly faster.

New version, however, takes mere milliseconds for both processes 🤌, low latency worldwide 🕊 using concurrency & edge functions.

After further testing & polishing, it’ll be live.

After the USSR's disintegration, US became the world's dominant power, potentially the first global hegemony.

It had the option to prioritize improving its citizens' living standards and guiding the world toward a better future.

Instead, US chose perpetual war and is directly or indirectly responsible for some of the worst atrocities in the past 25 years.

The world deserves better.


It's very well thought out, especially regarding metadata privacy; even the server host can't track user messages on their hosted servers/relay.

Other privacy-related features, like incognito mode, provide an extra layer of anonymity on top of your already anonymous account.

On the downside, they are VC and billionaire funded, so things could change at any time.

Hopefully, we will have our own truly private DMs very soon.


Yeah, it's pretty solid when it comes to privacy. Imagine building something like this on Nostr, it'd be 10 times better with Nostr's flexibility and easy integration!


Honestly, I think Nostr has the smartest users.

You can throw any complex or controversial question, and you'll always get some of the most thought-provoking answers.

Is there a simpler way to implement private file uploads for premium Nostr-build users on my web app?

I already suggest your site for file uploads, but a one-click private upload option would be way more convenient.

This is the project & private file upload is the most requested feature.

A few years ago, I probably would have skipped this message after reading just the first line, but now I very much agree with everything you said.

Letting the state become this big was already a huge mistake, and democracy has enabled it by giving people a false sense of control.

We've basically surrendered and given up all our rights for now.

Have you ever thought about some better option than democracy?


I greatly admire Benjamin Owen. Unfortunately, he was one of the early victims of cancel culture. I wasn't aware that his podcast was on foundation. Thank you for sharing!


Around a year ago, I read a book called The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.

It was so shocking that I started doing research just to debunk those claims for myself. But the more I looked into it, the more bizarre it got.

Your note feels like a summary of the book—it even cites multiple examples of the systemic abuse of anti-Semitism stigma.


I also read that it's the only foreign lobby that doesn't have to register as such, funded by BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, giving it virtually unlimited money. They supposedly fund both parties, especially during primaries, to eliminate anyone critical of Israel.

Is this true? I've read this from multiple sources, but it seems too crazy to be true.


I really need help understanding international politics, especially American involvement in the Middle East & Israel. I'm quite confused.

> Is it true that most of the wars the U.S. has fought in the Middle East were primarily in Israel's interest?

Is this true, partially true, or completely false?

> If true, why are Americans allowing it? Are they unaware of this, do they support it, or is there another reason?

>If not, how do people explain the "Clean Break" memo, AIPAC funding, and the seemingly unwavering support for Israel's current policies?

I genuinely want to understand this and mean no harm to anyone. #AskNostr

I also rewrote the zPay.live backend in Go. It's not only 40% faster and 70% less compute-intensive but also highly scalable.

Even with 10s of 1000s of users on your self-hosted version, you wouldn't break the AWS Lambda free limit, which is unimaginable with Lnbits or BTCPay servers.

Cherry On Top: Self-hosting zpay.live is entirely free.

It's so lightweight, you wouldn't even need a full server. You could deploy it on a serverless lambda function on AWS, Azure, or any other platform.

Even with 10k-20k users on your self-hosted version, you'd never break their free limits.

Nicotine really makes a difference, not only keeps me active, but also helps in concentration, improvement is so noticeable. Especially with zyn, experience has become so much better.

Even on the hosted version (zPay.live), invoices are still generated directly from the creator's wallet. There is no intermediary involved in the transactions.

Whether to use paywalls or not will be entirely up to you, as the consumer, & the creator.

As a developer, I'll do my best to offer it as an option when needed, that doesn’t suck.

My priorities will be security, reliability, performance and of course, new features, it follows V4V model like all my other services/apps.

Working on both NWC & extension support.


In the long run, an app like WebCore/AppCore could play a significant role.

The ability to manage all apps, PWAs, and web apps in one place, with proper categorization, privacy-based recommendations, and the option to set any app or web page as the default for direct messaging, posting, or relay settings, could make a big difference.

I’ll need to put in more work to achieve this. https://image.nostr.build/ce304195b6ef0cb9a96cdd7336770cddef4462485f88b9ac4a19fd7f4fa83e93.jpg

Aura 10000+


Nostr is not in its infancy anymore. There's too much going on. Coding everything is not only not viable but it should become an anti-pattern. We should focus in Mini and Micro apps moving forward.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3svyhng9ld8sv44950j957j9vchdktj7cxumsep9mvvjthc2pjuqqxnzdej8q6rswphxuunvdfnyvwa0w

In the early days of Nostr, developers often competed to see who could implement the most NIPs. Although all were optional (except NIP-01), it became a point of pride and vital for the ecosystem's growth. Back then, there were only a few dozen relatively simple NIPs to implement. Fast forward to today, with nearly 100 NIPs, maintaining and implementing everything has become nearly impossible. Yet, the drive among developers to "code all things Nostr" remains as strong as ever.

nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9uq3xamnwvaz7tmhda6zuat50phjummwv5hsx7c9z9 raised the point that everyone, even I, agrees:

nostr:nevent1qqsqqqp2zrs7836tyjlsfe7aj9c4d97zrxxqyayagkdwlcur96t4laspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7q3q80cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsxpqqqqqqzgcrrrp

But how big is too big? How can we better understand the range of options available for devs out there?

I went out for a hunt in my own brain to figure out how to clarify the situation. I came up with the following 4 categories for Nostr Clients:
- **Super Clients**: These apps merge vastly different domains into a single application, offering basic support for reading, writing, configuration, and data management for each use case within each domains. An example would be an app that combines a Marketplace and Live Streams under one roof.

- **Clients**: These apps provide comprehensive support for a single domain, handling all its use cases in a single home. They manage the complete set of reading, writing, configuration, and long-term data management within that domain. An example is a marketplace app that helps users manage product catalogs, process orders, collect payments, and handle fulfillment and reports.

- **Mini Clients**: These apps focus on read and write functionality for a single use case, including configuration management and any actions related to that specific task. For example, a fulfillment app that helps users view orders placed from another client to then pack and ship them.

- **Micro Clients**: These apps have a single interface and perform one specific action. Viewing and creating a record is handled by separate micro apps. An example is an app that simply scans an order's QR code and marks it as shipped.

Based on my made-up categories described at the end, this is how I would split our most known apps.

Super apps will try to do everything, but can't really do most things super well. Regular-sized Clients will try to manage most of a given domain but are likely to centralize users on themselves, an unwanted effect inside of Nostr. If we want Nostr to grow in a decentralized fashion, we have to start betting on and using more **Mini** and **Micro** clients.


Idea of "super app" makes me little uncomfortable, but you executed it best way possible.


Wow, the irony in this post is astonishing. Imagine writing all this about a person and then calling them toxic. These people have no self-awareness.

It will appear on the same page where you copied the LNURL, after you make the payment


Open wallet button makes it real smooth.


Thank you! It might be a good idea to also save it in browser storage. That way, the next time user visits main webpage, I can retrieve it and display all their purchased content in tab 🤔


Could you help me test this? I'd like to learn two things:

1. Is the content unlocking after payment?

2. How was your payment experience? Was it smooth?

The idea is simple: it encrypts the content URL, packages it with a price, LN address, and a digital signature, and turns it into a shareable QR code or URL.

When the QR code is scanned, it first verifies the integrity of the packaged data, deconstructs it, and uses an LN proxy to initiate the payment. Once the payment is settled, it decrypts the content.

This approach does not require any database, BTC Pay server, or LNbits. Instead, it uses lightweight server functions, and with the upcoming LNURL standards LUD-10 and LUD-21, even this lightweight backend will be eliminated.


For developers, the easy-to-use Open Zapit API is on the way.

Just make a simple API call:
api/{content}/{lnAddress}/{price}

Content’s data & overall integrity is secured by cryptographic encryption and signatures. Payments are directly connected to your specified wallets.

Trust me, no one knows this better than I do. I built one a year and a half ago, and the biggest problem we always faced was its reliance on an Lnbits server or personal node.

This solution completely eliminates that dependency, it doesn’t even require a database.

The content is encrypted and packaged within a QR code, and it is decrypted only when the payment is completed.

It connects directly with the user's wallet, no login, no middleman 🤌


Good night 🤍


I read your blog on this topic, and I must say it was very thoughtful, not just the usual 'I hate paywalls' argument, but a well-reasoned, philosophical perspective.

That said, from my side, 'Zap to Decrypt' has much broader applications and can be implemented in ways that wouldn’t conflict with your personal stance. New open API will exponentially expand the scope.

I also believe that not having a paywall option (primary mode of monetization for many), especially on a network like Bitcoin, which can handle it far better than any fiat currency, feels a bit unfair.

I wrote this to just let you know, I have great respect for your work, and my goal is simply to build on your ideas, not oppose them.


Almost done. The frontend and backend are both working now. I've also created a very easy-to-use API for developers.

I dedicated nearly half of my weekend to this project, and it's undoubtedly one of the most ambitious ones I've taken on so far.

Building regular lightning paywall services is relatively simple—I built one 1.5 years ago that's used by thousands today.

However, building one without any middleman (no centralized server, no LNbits, no personal node, not even a central database) is an extremely difficult challenge.

Here's what to expect:

Seller side: Your content, price, and wallet address are all stored in a shareable QR code, secured by cryptographic encryption and signatures.

Buyer side: When the QR code is scanned, it initiates the payment, and after it's completed, the content is decrypted and displayed.

For Developers: Ideally, you shouldn't even need an API. You should be able to implement this functionality by simply importing a library with a one-liner, like:
generatePaywallQR(contentURL, price, lnAddress)

I'll be working on it this week, and hopefully by next weekend, I'll open it for some beta testing. After that, we can keep improving it based on feedback.

I used to run a node to power my LNbits backend for my Lightning paywall services (Zapit), but the new version no longer requires a personal node or LNbits, so I don’t run it anymore.

Personally, I hated working with LNbits and running a node, especially for build commercial stuff & services.


First step is complete. Now, we are extending this isolation to all the apps pinned in each AppCore variant.

You should be able to log into 3 different Signal accounts using 3 AppCore variants.

Each variant should behave like an isolated environment. https://image.nostr.build/afc26dce4d6465f2ebebd5459ed416480241f5506689408d32b296026ec87c60.jpg


Nostur experience on iPad 🤍

It's my fastest and best multitasking experience on iPad so far. Perfect for both power users and casual users, it's very easy to navigate with all the necessary features.

3 key features in upcoming AppCore V2:

1. Create multiple copies of the AppCore app & run them simultaneously, separate from each other.

2. Categorization of apps with custom Profiles like Personal, Work.

3. Database will now be encrypted with password, in addition to being completely offline and local.

I recommend suggesting to the developer that they convert their PWA into a Trusted Web Activity (TWA) APK using the PWABuilder website.

It's a straightforward process that only takes a few clicks & APK will be also verified by PWA codebase.

Play Store and the App Store both suggest this approach for PWAs.

Once we have truly private DMs, Nostr will be unstoppable.

Decentralized, truly private, and permissionless,   protocol.

True public free speech.

Truly private personal/group chats.

Complete anonymity.

If we really pull this off, I'm telling you, it's going to be revolutionary.

From all this AI saga, all I want is a general-purpose open-source LLM that is efficient enough to run locally on a phone, > 10 tokens/sec and smart enough to handle basic tasks like answering questions and reading PDFs with contextual understanding.

The developers definitely deserve recognition & grant.

Jack and others primarily use iOS, so incredible Android projects often go unnoticed.


Indeed, Once we have truly private DMs, I wouldn't stop shilling this app to all my friends.


By the way, could you kindly mention/tag the developer of 0xChat hete? I  forgot their name.


Couldn't agree more, it's literally one of the best Nostr app currently. Easy top 3.


Yup


I haven't really worked on it myself, but from what I understand, it has end-to-end encryption. If you self-host the servers, you can make it quite secure. It does have a metadata issue, but if you're self-hosting, that shouldn't be a problem. You can also use Tor.

But you can also do same with nostr by hosting your own relay. In fact new gift-wrap dm has better metadata protection.


0xChat is basically at the cutting edge of what's currently possible with Nostr in terms of direct communication.

It has audio/video calls, gift-wrapped private DMs, & both private and public group chats, light discovery page & minimal design. It's also a great default app for all Nostr notifications.

Absolutely love it 🤌🤍

End of Ghosh Chat | Important Story, Lesson & Realization | Warning for Threema & Session Users!

It looks like Australian government agencies have compromised Ghosh Chat, an anonymous & encrypted messaging service.

Context: Ghosh Chat was an anonymous messaging platform where you could send messages without requiring an email or phone number. It was partially open-source but controlled by a single company. In terms of user experience, company structure, and governance, it was very similar to Threema and Session.

But like any company, they had a headquarters. Ghosh Chat’s HQ was based in Sydney. Until yesterday, it was generally trusted for anonymity and encryption. It was used daily by many criminals across the world and had been battle-tested, although it also had plenty of regular users.

The Scary Part: It turns out Ghosh Chat had been compromised for quite some time. Today, police started making arrests across Australia. Authorities have all the chat logs and are now using them to incriminate users.

The site is still live, but it’s compromised.

So, what went wrong? Ghosh Chat wasn’t just any app—it was OG, battle-tested, and encrypted. But it had the same fundamental problem as Session and Threema—and it’s a dangerous one.

The issue is the single point of failure. When one company has full control over the underlying protocol, the app/website, and the encryption implementations, it becomes incredibly easy to introduce backdoors, compromise the entire network, or even take it down altogether.

Nostr has a huge opportunity to solve the private communication problem once and for all. It’s the only decentralized, permissionless, and anonymous communication protocol that exists right now.

I mean data is already public, important part will be transparency regarding the algorithm, with some customization options if possible, as well as the ability to turn it off. I don't see the problem.

By the way, are you creating some centralized database? You will be using only Nostr public data, right?


BlueSky is also comes in almost every discussion about X alternatives with thread. Thread is partially opening up to the fediverse. Interestingly. Mastodon has some very great and legendary users, such as Terence Tao. Nostr has a long way to go.

I think it's far more unethical than conventional warfare. These drones, which cost only a few hundred dollars and are automated to kill people using facial recognition, allow one person to control thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of drones. This future should not be acceptable.

Above all, no human should die in these meaningless wars; they should not even exist. There is so much more we can accomplish together.

In upcoming AppCore update by default 'check for update' will be auto but manual two-clicks downloading and installation.


I think I misunderstood your requirements. If you also want to share your account with others, it's not for you.

Amber is only for Android. You will be able to log into installed apps and websites on your phone. I used to use nsecbunber for the same purpose.

But if you want to share an account with someone else, it's not the replacement for that.


No, it runs locally on device just for apps installed on your phone.


It pops up more like an extension; it also supports native apps as well as web apps. You can also specify event kinds permissions like extensions.


On Android it's amber app, works on nostr web & native apps.


I have been waiting for the Dr. Doom chapter for years, but even after its announcement, I'm still unable to process it.

It might take some time, I'll start by rolling out the paywall feature, and then I'll speedily work on adding support for physical items and subscriptions.


Once I have the core functionalities implemented, I will send you a development version URL so you can monitor improvements in real time. I will also be open-sourcing the code, making it one-click self-hostable, And easy to modify.


My answer might be tricky. I don't want the current AI architecture (Transformers) to define the future of LLMs or ML, that would be disastrous. We need a breakthrough!

It's not that I can't live without it, but AI has countless potential use cases across fields like computer science, medicine, and space exploration. It's already penetrating every industry, these new generative models being just a part of it.

That's why I believe it's crucial to shape AI for a better, less centralized future.

What amazes me is how the open-source community has kept pace with frontier models. If OpenAI disappeared tomorrow, we could still rebuild up to GPT-4o using just open-source models.

I hope it makes sense 😅, I'd love to hear your thoughts.


Honestly speaking, we don't really have any good solutions right now. It is super centralized, with virtually no privacy.

There is hope that Chromium browsers might start supporting local LLM models.

Meanwhile, I have built a web app using WebLLM and WebGPU, where you can run any LLM model locally in your browser without any performance compromises. (use pc, for larger models)

Thank you for taking the time to provide such comprehensive and useful answers.

If I understand correctly, it should be something like this preview page, but with some modifications, such as multiple picture uploads for showcasing, markdown support for descriptions, and multiple subscription options, simple login. 🤔

It should include proper and elaborate feedback, perhaps through Nostr DM,  optional email.

Something like, it will include product previews with long-text descriptions and markdown support, as well as multiple image uploads for showcasing.

It's entirely feasible; I just need time to get it right. This time, I want to perfect the monetization service.

Zapit Development Summary | 80% Complete

I've added a direct LN wallet proxy, eliminating the need for Lnbits.

Additionally, I've implemented the LNURL LUD-10 protocol to package encrypted content, LN address, and a price into a single invoice, eliminating need for a centralized database.

Thanks to Alby's excellent work, I've integrated NWC for recurring payments & subscription based service.

If everything is implemented correctly, you won't even need my API. You can integrate Zapit features into your app using a simple library, no permissions required.

This version of Zapit is a complete rebuild, designed from the ground up with best practices in mind. It's one of my most ambitious projects, and I'm not looking to gain anything from it.
My goal is simply to create something I can be proud of.

I understand that many Nostr users dislike paywalls. I respect that viewpoint, but I also believe that artists in the Bitcoin space deserve to have these options to monetize their work.

I'll release an early version of Zapit soon and will continue to improve it based on user feedback.

Btw should mention Super is remarkable, and I've learned a great deal from them.


:Hasbulla-ji:


My previous app,' Zapit' , used the same approach. However, new version eliminates the need for Lnbits.

The problem with Lnbits is that if you're not running a self-hosted instance, the Lnbits server owner can delete, modify, or redirect your transaction. If server is down you can't withdraw.

In previous Zapit, I was the one managing that server, it's a mess but this new version takes a different approach, this one is directly connected to your wallet.


I'm working on both API and NWC. I'll share more about the integration process soon. It will be quite straightforward.


This time no login, no middleman, no commission, no database. Sell digital content anywhere with lightning.

Currently working on sharable URLs, QR Codes & Vouchers.

At least monero people are trying to solve a very real problem unlike other blatantly obvious scam tokens.


Ok, so i'm trying to up my game.  I taught myself how to install Linux on refurbished laptops.  Now i want to learn to install Graphene on a refurbished Pixel 8, which i just ordered.  Any tips are welcome.  I love being able to customize my latops, and it saves me alot of money since i can buy used when i need to replace one.  If i can do the same with my phones, then i'll be set.  I already use a graphene phone, bought it already installed and love it.  Just want to learn to do it myself.  Yall wish me luck!  #grownostr #graphene

Nah, but I'm hoping for some quality memes!


Thing to do on Nostr, if you haven't already:

Create a new anonymous Nostr account with proper Tor setup. Use it with Tor only and be extra careful.

Anonymity is a very powerful feature of Nostr; it's true freedom.

Bitcoin, Nostr & Tor 🤌


LNURL has some great built-in features, exactly what I was looking for Zapit.

Next version of Zapit will be truly private and unstoppable. It will also be much lighter and significantly faster than the previous version.

Paywalled content links, packaged into lightning invoices & vouchers, directly connected to my lightning wallets without any middle man. 🤌
https://image.nostr.build/5b665b2828eb50d94fdf84b6d491fdbcf51758dda9593c0995bc1c17b7a68dc6.jpg


Check this, just built a lightweight paywall implementation that encrypts media URLs before packaging them with a wallet address and price in a QR code.

QR code redirect link initiates a payment, and once confirmed, media link is decrypted quickly. It's infinitely faster than Lnbits. 1 click self hosting with node. https://image.nostr.build/d56351f8b8836c37c7c84b965f34620e536240b04e76d2d976d5ee617e51bfa1.jpg


Literally, the reason I'm rebuilding it, at least the paywall should be off the Lnbits. I just have to build a Zap-to-decrypt somehow, all hosted on nostr.

The difficult part is that it should work without a centralized server.


Many in the scientific community believe that religious individuals exploit gaps in scientific knowledge to justify the existence of God, a concept known as the "God of the gaps."

The origins of the universe and life represent the most significant gaps and are central to many religions. Consequently, the scientific community has rushed to fill these gaps with incomplete and sometimes inconsistent hypotheses, often presenting them with more certainty than warranted.

It's also important to consider the historical context, from Galileo to Charles Darwin, when science was heavily controlled and moderated, by religious institutions to a time of complete separation between science and religion.


Rebuilding my Zapit paywall services;

Zapit is coming back with a lot of new features, including the most requested one: the Zapit Wallet API for devs. Add a paywall in your own apps with advanced features like Prism (Split-Payments) & other automations on both API & Zapit paywall users.

Any suggestions for features, architecture & name?
https://i.imgur.com/OLkx0lE.jpeg


I think tags/hashtags, combined with the Web of Trust (WOT), can effectively address content categorization across notes, long forms, and other events.

Clients should encourage the use of tags/hashtags by recommending related ones, allowing users to add them with a single click when posting notes. Recently, I experimented with lightweight generative on-device models (like BERT) that categorize text locally or suggest hashtags.


We also need a paywall feature; it’s a significant market opportunity. If we can provide a decent profile blog page with built-in monetization options, every creator can use it as an alternative.

From my experience with paywall services, I’ve seen how creative people can be when given a simple paywall and the ability to upload whatever they want. I plan to restart that service.

I see a great opportunity for a blogging platform that includes a paywall, zaps, uncensorship, and anonymity. 🤔


I highly recommend Habla.news for new users looking to start blogging. It offers a fantastic experience with an impressive design—arguably the best on Nostr & provides a premium experience across all devices.

I’m seriously considering making it my primary blogging platform. It’s not just because it’s built with Nostr; it genuinely offers a better solution with almost zero compromises.

***“The more you learn about something, the more you realize you know nothing.”*** This saying resonates deeply with me. The truth is, **no one really has all the big answers**. Many in the scientific community seem to pretend they do. Let’s explore this further.

#### ***Consider the Most Fundamental Questions***

1. **The Origin of the Universe**
2. **The Origin of Life on Earth**

#### ***The Origin of the Universe***

You might think we have a solid answer: **the Big Bang**. However, this explanation has its limitations, and calling it a “start” can be misleading. In fact, this theory might be entirely wrong. New research challenges the Big Bang theory, and I highly recommend listening to **Sir Roger Penrose** for a deeper understanding.

The only substantial evidence we have is the universe's expansion. Penrose proposes a different hypothesis: **the endless expansion and contraction of the universe**. This idea doesn’t contradict our current understanding.

Thus, the evidence for the Big Bang and Penrose’s theory are both radically different, yet **neither can be definitively proven** over the other. This highlights the **limitations of our current understanding**.

#### ***The Origin of Life on Earth***

The origin of life is even more complex. Life requires three essential components:
- **Proteins** for basic functioning
- **RNA** for storing and replicating genes
- **Lipids** (cell walls) to create separation from the environment

Mathematical models suggest that while proteins and lipids have a reasonable probability of forming, the creation of RNA seems nearly impossible through random mutations in a short time frame. The best explanations indicate that we either lack crucial information or that these RNA molecules—and life as a whole—might have come from **outside sources**. Some scholars even question the entire **random mutation model**.

#### ***The Question of Certainty***

If scientists don’t know the answers, **why do they pretend they do?** In my humble opinion, **It seems they do this to distance science from religion and to close the discussion before the wealthiest can fit God into the narrative,** Interestingly, I’m not alone in believing they closed the books too early.

#### ***Reclaiming Control of Science and Education***

The best way to reclaim control of science and education is to **learn**. If you’re looking for a starting point, I highly recommend:
- **“A Brief History of Time”** by **Stephen Hawking** for physics
- **“Sapiens”** or **“The Selfish Gene”** for evolutionary biology

All three are excellent starting points—densely packed with information and covering a wide range of topics in a concise and accessible manner.

The Illusion of Certainty: Exploring the Unknowns of Science

In the quest for knowledge, we often encounter the humbling truth that the more we learn, the more we realize how much we don't know. This post delves into the fundamental questions surrounding the origin of the universe and life on Earth, highlighting the limitations of our current understanding.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp3hhqal3dxw4pnuj49jjhl4lltq9l35y9w0w8yggnk2ehzk46j8aqq2kjmrvw4ekjmmw94hkvttrv4e8gctfde68jpt6agc

Encryption truly demonstrates the real power of mathematics.

Exercises That Really Make You Smarter, Mental-math

These simple mental math exercises help sharpen your brain, enhancing problem-solving and critical thinking by strengthening neural connections:

1. Rapid multiplication (two-digit numbers)
2. Extend the Fibonacci sequence mentally
3. Estimate complex sums quickly
4. Prime factorization of large numbers
5. Quick percentage calculations

By practicing regularly, you encourage your brain to develop stronger neural pathways dedicated to problem-solving. These connections also aid in tackling engineering and technical challenges. This process is known as neuroplasticity, and the younger you are, the faster these connections form.

Quick disclaimer: I'm not a neuroscientist, so do your own research or consult a professional. This was recommended to me by professional, but we’re all different!


Many experts in the field believe that the Transformer architecture might be hitting a wall. Additionally, this architecture is not well-suited for decentralization.

We definitely need a breakthrough—something better.


I tend to separate raw intelligence and consciousness—not because I believe they are separate, but I just don't know how to quantify consciousness.

We know a few things about critical thinking, technical intelligence, and IQ, even within these parameters, something seems to be missing in these models that we don't fully understand.

Still, it's astounding how much can be achieved with just matrix multiplications.


The strawberry test is quite iconic. Many models are secretly "hard-coded" to avoid failing it so they don't appear flawed, but it highlights some fundamental weaknesses in LLM architecture and core limitations. Playing chess also reveals these flaws.


The fundamental difference is that these models can't REASON they are simply predicting one word after another through matrix multiplication.

We possess something far more interesting—an intelligence that is one of a kind. Not to mention consciousness, which is something entirely different that we don't even partially understand, let alone replicate.

Nature is the greatest building, it's not even close.

Working with these LLM model just makes you more humble. Even with billions of parameters, these models still fail at very simple tasks and lack true reasoning.

On the other hand, our human brain, with far less data, can accomplish exponentially more than these billion-parameter models.

Building safeguards against bots and spam was inevitable, and it's good we're being 'forced' to develop them faster thanks to these annoying bots. It also prepares us for more coordinated attacks in the future.

However, the solution shouldn't be worse than the problem. If we're implementing WOT, users must have some level of control and full transparency.

A simple web of trust can solve the bot problem, eg. by connecting friends of friends. We can establish multiple degrees of connections and prioritize them.

Keeping apps up to date is a powerful feature of app stores. Interestingly, some Android FOSS apps have found a neat way to handle this with built-in 'auto-update' and 'check for update' options.

This method allows apps to operate independently from the app store while still staying current, enabling one-click updates and installations without needing an app store or Obtainium.

No one really knows. We might be just one breakthrough away. We already have Shor's algorithm, which can break those encryptions, though it currently works only on small numbers.

In quantum computing, it's not even a computing issue; it's a memory issue especially for RSA.

Most importantly, we can't wait for it.

Adversaries can still store the encrypted data and just wait for the technology to decrypt it. So, we have to act as soon as possible.


Encryption keeps our stuff safe, like our chats and online accounts. It's tough to crack with regular computers. But quantum computers, with their special powers (superposition), could break it.
So, we need new kinds of encryption that are super hard for even quantum computers to crack. It's like changing the locks on our digital doors.


Personal Project: I just finished writing a NIST-recommended post-quantum encryption algorithm in JavaScript from scratch.

It uses lattice mathematics with hundreds of dimensions—fascinating stuff, but it's incredibly compute-intensive. Currently, it works with just one bit (0 or 1).

The next step is to combine this new PQ encryption with traditional AES encryption. The goal is to make it highly efficient without compromising post-quantum security.

I've also built a simple website named en.webcore.live (for educational purposes only) to test my custom encryption implementations. I'll add this encryption soon.

For now, I won’t release any public app; that would be very irresponsible. I’ll wait for a trusted, audited library to implement this.

Mark my words: encryption will be the most powerful tool in our arsenal against tyranny.

Awesome, good luck! Rust is great for cryptography stuff, btw have you tried Zig?


I couldn't agree more. Hallucinations is truly the biggest problem with these models—you can never be sure whether the response they provide is correct or completely made up.

Even for coding, I prefer snippets more than AI, especially when working on serious app.

And with the current architecture, it really seems like things will keep getting more and more centralized.

I think some sort of breakthrough is required.


Building something cryptography related?
