I don’t analyze people at all in groups, the way my brain works ignores all forms of body language and cues like that if its more than one person.
The room and people didn’t really exist to me in that moment. I was mostly running a script of what I rehearsed based on cues from the slide notes.
I did try to land a joke about texting your ex but didn’t land at all, that was a brief moment where I was reminded the crowd exists 😅
Clearly written specifications are becoming just as good as code, now that the more advanced LLMs are starting to produce high quality code just from a spec doc. Latest chatgpts can input NIPs and produce working demos. Its wild.
I liked the idea of “buy me lunch” or “buy me a beer” button, which had present zap amounts. We designed that a long time ago before our note zaps were banned.
I’ve been fascinated by an idea that doesn’t have a word, so I am going to coin one:
Cryptopistemology
A mashup of crypto- (hidden) and epistemology (the study of knowledge),
There is lots of hidden knowledge encoded in our world that is not easily accessible, due to taboo or simply because it is understudied.
I grew up on the internet thinking all of the world’s knowledge is on there to learn. I quickly realized how wrong this was.
A good example is street smarts. You can’t really pick this up in a book or from YouTube videos. Some knowledge can only be gained through experience on the ground, immersed in the complexity of life.
#insomniastr
its enlightenment, not apocalyptic. if we uncover and study this hidden knowledge, it just becomes good ol science and epistemology.
I think the emphasis on “hidden” is trying to categorize things that are not commonly studied or looked into.
Like who is running the study on street smarts? I’m sure there is an insane amount of complexity to explore in that space, but there’s no obvious way to study it.
messagepack would work fine I think. biggest gains would be parsing efficiency and battery life gains. decoding json sucks and is slow.
nostrdb has optimizations to skip parsing altogether when it doesn’t need to (stops parsing at the id field if we already have the note). The performance boost there is nice. messagepack or some other format would be another boost.
The *ideal* way would be something like flatbuffers, where you could just memcpy the note into your db… but is more complex.
