 yea, it looks that way.  
Software will be generated on a need basis, once it's purpose ha been f... 
 yup, that’s what I’m talkin’ bout! And if it’s made for you on-the-fly you won’t have to learn how to use it… it will just have the features you need right now 
 General compute architecture is good enough for what I’m talking about. You don’t need efficiencies in hardware for most software tasks. You just need software that does exactly what you need at any given moment (and nothing else… all the extra features cause confusion and require learning/choices) 
 software is going to become disposable and that’s a good thing 
 Codegen/AI are enabling a peak at this future, but it’s not fully here yet. Instead of downloading or building an app imagine you can just will it into existence to do the one workflow you need right now (and importantly it’s not built in a general way to do anything else so no extra features/learning/cruft). 
 Listen family, I can be “preachy” and “teachy”. 😂

I hope y’all find *value* in my c...

 Bored with it all.

Just #Bitcoin, chill, and have a great weekend with people IRL. 
 true 
 is there something going on where comments #s are inflated?

one of my posts has like 40 comments... 
 spam filtering? i think Primal is cleaning up spam, but doesn’t remove spam messages from the count yet 
 has anyone built a chrome extension to help me take tweets i can view and use them to populate nostr accounts?

i’d prefer to read on nostr only, but there’s still a lot of good information that isn’t published in this format yet 
 boa noite 🇧🇷

 if you’re new here on nostr make sure to setup your lightning wallet (also, welcome to nostr! 👋)

if you don’t know what that means or how to do it hit me up right here and we can discuss 
 worked?

 Wait, Nvidia does not go up forever?😱 
 wait, does this imply there could be a second best? 
 such cognitive dissonance every time I click publish on a Substack where I’m writing about Nostr

we need better long-form writing tools here ✍️ 
 We need a term for Bitcoiners against Nostr. 
 i want to hear more about their position on this 
 with every note I write on nostr I feel a sense that I am making a slight improvement toward righting what’s wrong in the world 
 previous traveler, sharing the love 
 which app/service? 
 agreed, search is pretty broken across nostr. @brugeman has done some early work here, but i don’t think it’s currently his focus. maybe he can tell us what he has seen that’s interesting and the state of search? 
 if you want to learn more about what nostr is all about… check this recent video from @rabble

 Why do people post as if they’re a celebrity and are better than everyone else? Stop taking you... 
 sing it louder, roya! 🤌 
 we’re so lucky so many people have contributed so much sweat and energy to make nostr what it is today

i love this place 
 if you’re new here step up and say hi! 👋

 open hearts, open minds

#nostr 
 just find people you already recognize, see who they’re following and follow some of those accounts and chime into conversations you have an opinion about 
 it takes a long time to build anything great.

keep going! ✍️💜 
 the continued rug pulls will prove to be the best marketing for nostr

 You are not a nostr full citizen until we can zap you. Get your lighting setup.

 you have been zapped 🫡 
 Karpathy understands the principles of zaps/V4V, but doesn’t seem to be aware of the tools yet.

 welcome new nostriches!

1. how did you find out about nostr?

2. what are you hoping to find here?

3. can i help with anything? 
 Yup, that’s the magic of nostr. Your posts (and followers) are spread out across relays and they’re not tied to Primal or Damus or any other app. It’s all interoperable/interchangeable. You control the private keys that let you sign the messages and you send them to relays. Everything else just works with everything else. 
 1. a long journey, but you’re safe now

2. a lot of the like-mindedness I find here comes from people who value self-sovereignty in money/speech and freedom technologies. Is that your jam or do you have other primary interests?

3. It’s a little tricky to find good accounts to follow. I might suggest looking at the accounts of some people who seem reasonable to you, check their profile and see who they follow. Then follow some of the people they follow quite liberally to populate your feed with interesting/active stuff. I hope we can make this easier for new users at some point 
 1. Sounds wise… keep them close!

2. What are you looking to access?

 1) great writer/speaker

2) you’ll find the vibe on nostr is low stress… esp compared to centralized algorithmic controlled engagement baiting media networks :P

3) best thing right now is to just participate in conversations with people you’d like to exchange ideas with. You could also consider writing about your hobbies/passions/interests/views and see who shows up to agree/disagree. in my experience people are pretty cordial here 
 Facts!

Have you been learning about how it works? very different from the architecture of typical social media platforms.

in fact, there is no platform. It’s just a protocol. A loose way to coordinate how clients get built and how relays respond and so on. nobody controls the users. We all just float around doing what we want. It’s glorious! 😝 
 @jack and @ODELL bringing new nostrich waves!

 i haven’t seen any nips around reporting view count. it’s probably possible in a somewhat privacy preserving way, but could certainly get complicated depending on the approach. do you think view counts would contribute to a lot more creation? 
 I just browsed through your feed. A few ideas...

1) if you’re new here it can help to chime in with people who are already talking about something you care about and share your own perspectives/opinions on the topic so you’re already gathering with relevant people

2) your avatar/name could be confused for being a bot even though you sound like a human to me, maybe consider adding more human personality (even if pseudonymous) to help people get more comfortable engaging with you

3) some of your posts seem to be reporting on information that looks like it could’ve been pulled in an automated way… I would guess you’ll find your mutuals here if you share your opinions more than reporting on stats/facts

4) there are minimal/no algorithms (yet!) so it’s pretty hard for anyone to find the good stuff anyway, so it definitely takes some work for now — I believe solutions are right around the corner, but not broadly available yet 
 To paraphrase Shakespeare:

“my bitcoin stack for a nostr long-form composer!” 
 is there a “laser eyes” equivalent for nostr avatars?

maybe something like @miljan has 
 The best tech analyst I have seen!
