 “Censoring spam is wrong” nostr:note1576lgxp78cwyeafejafmdndcufa68j6tk2fznk35d6v38vzq2ysqtf64qv 
 Hard to take this at face value 🙃
if you love your spam go run your own relay and welcome others  while you chill in the canned meat section of the supermarket. Otherwise, not your relay not your rules. Don't see the problem  
 Its an interesting idea. i think the human labels for navigating might get us pretty far - more so than AI embeddings. Using some ML and NLP could clean up that feed even more. With embeddings, scale is the biggest issue. They're expensive to hold and compute with.  Bet there are open source solutions to model off of though. 
 New pedal demonstration video came out:

 Its here and noiice! Put Arch and installed a bunch of window managers that i can experiment around with. 
 Went with the 13'' AMD. Am quite happy with it😄

 Good afternoon 🌠 
 I'm not sure how to continue my programming journey, so I'm asking here:

I've only ever used Pyt... 
 If you want something high performance but don't want to go low level, I can't recommend julia enough. 

Syntax is clean, JIT compiles, multi processing/threading is simple. You can even use Python libraries for anything that isn't implemented in Julia - meaning after doing anything requiring performance you can use Sklearn for extra analysis and matplotlib for plotting. Deep learning and autodiff libraries, while not fully fledged out as Python's ecosystem is 🤌 
 Decent learning curve especially when coming from Python 
 Feel free to reach out if you need some advice, always love going back to it when I can. Used it for some dynamical systems a while back and did 99% of my deep learning assignments in Julia. Here's a code comparison of PyTorch vs Julia implementing AlexNet

 Who woulda thunk that all i needed to do was to add a 32'' monitor and then like magic... no more mess 🤗 
 Window managers all the way! Mainly used QTile. Switching to PopOS's Cosmic environment had nice window management. With Qubes, I'm currently trying out I3. First time I had a second monitor that I could turn vertical, very nice experience!

 Saying ai is stealing is like saying being inspired and making art in someone’s style is steali... 
 People are attached to ownership, monetization and maybe the physical embodied act of creating. The cave painters aren't going to riot against the invention of oil paint if it makes their lives easier and guitarists aren't rioting at synthesized guitar sounds.

AI creates art that it has seen, but if the artist style or composition of styles don't exist in the training set, you're not going to get that output. Good luck getting an AI to generate Henry Kaiser's music.
https://v.nostr.build/O4lxQ.mp4

Maybe this will incentivize the creation of novel art. Would it be monetizable? Maybe not, but if you want to create unique art, you're always going to have to continually create things not in the training set.

 
 tempting to use AI hands to learn how to draw hands, bringing it back full circle 🤣 
 I'd take that to be an honor 😂

 Yeah it does leave you hanging! He evolved the motif established from Tim Henson's solo from the song rather than cover the whole thing. Not a bad song, but i'm definitely more gravitated to this part than the rest.

 I like 2. For 2.5, is there a link to the d tag spec? The nips repo points to NIP01 but I don't see any reference to jt, 
 Hmm. I do like 2.5 then. By default we keep the first entry as the title. Any other important searchable metadata (which can be different, depending on domain) could go there. Could this essentially combine nip36 and 54 to reduce redundancy? 
 I'm thinking something like:
```
"tags": [
  ["d", "chapter-1", "book:example-book", "author:John Doe", "version:1.0"],
  // other tags...
]
``` 
 You think we should fine grain a difference between [[leo-tolstoy]] the topic and [[author:leo-tolstoy]] anything written by him? 
 Yeah, just allowing for a multitude of ways for human navigation. The general case would be to remove the '{noun}:' and just find anything matching the sane string across the categories.

Kind of an aside, but I'm wondering if it would make sense backend-wise if we paired an optional db for caching on relays we want to associate with to improve performance. I'd imagine without the db search performance would degrade as events increase. 
 Love the idea 
 Am I the only person not getting reply guy spam? 
 Don't ask me how, but some changes to my relays and muting setting have me unbothered by spam.

 Maybe a conditional zap split?

Check if zapper is in the split. If they are, give 100% to the poster, otherwise use the regular zap split
