 nostr could become the self sovereign data layer of cyberspace. Few understand the implications of this yet.

 Definitely want to explore this in notedeck though 
 Mochi 1: A new SOTA in open-source video generation models

welp. 
 We’re still in the mainframe era of ai 
 when your project manager gets bored of filing issues and starts contributing code. based. @elsat

 I use them interchangeably 😅  
 the probability of your email finding me well is quite low, but thanks for asking. 
 the zap found me well

 other apps can do this in the background, why does damus need to do this? 
 running egui zap stream 
 this is like asking someone to send a selfie when they just woke up and look like shit. still early days xD 
 Not only did I have “an empathy” (rare for me 🤣) 

BUT I had an EPIPHANY! 🤦‍♂️

 not just me, every kind1 client to ever be created in the future. large development burden. 
 Its the simpler alternative 
 I mean you could always show the original too, so maybe that's not a big concern 
 ai tech is advancing so rapidly, i just looked into the latest tech and there is lora+peft for easy fine tuning of larger models, image to video models, chatgpt quality local coding (deepseek). You blink once and you miss tons of stuff. 
 heard good things about qwen, going to try it out 
 the ipad pro is a great laptop replacement if you bias to safari and web apps. 
 I’ve been using mine a lot more for admin tasks: notes, email, calendar, web, reminders. I’ll bring it with me instead if I don’t plan on coding 
 Hey relay operators 🫡

What should I building client side assume to be a reasonable max length... 
 256kb? Contact lists can be big 
 Who on here contributes to #strfry? I have a question. #asknostr 
 I have a decent grasp of it, i did a deep dive and created nostrdb based on its design 
 Could easily add that to noteguard as a strfry write policy 
 I will write a quick policy for pow 
 Its a separate process that strfry spawns when you configure it in settings

I don’t have kind whitelist yet but would be trivial 
 Haven’t tried hailuo yet. Kling has been wild 
 Damoose is running through the data on the latest experiments at #damuslabs https://v.nostr.build/qXdgbUyBN7tRL4Fe.mp4  
 imagine accumulating that much and losing it all by trusting third parties… there’s a high probability this will happen. It has happened before and it will happen again. nostr:note19gl5cgufxrtsq5wjau7qm3snu4k8d7py85u585rrtepvq8zpclvs0fcx9a 
 Bitcoin is black market money at the end of the day, its entire point is to resist the state. Voskuil explains this well in cryptoeconomics. Failure to recognize this will be his downfall. 
 How are these institutions fairing exactly? 
 Sorry to break it to you but the entire banking system consists of fictional reserve institutions just waiting to implode at any moment. But i guess thats easy to overlook if you’re on their payroll. 
 yup 
 hey, Damus!

 hey! 
 what tool can i use to quickly convert hex to nsec? 
 I use https://github.com/cmoog/bech32:

echo "hex" | xxd -r -p | bech32 --prefix nsec 
 I noticed llama.cpp supports ROCM (amdgpu) now! I can sample the 8B parameter llama 3 model with my 8GB VRAM graphics card! It's fast! Local ai ftw.

 nah 
 aider looks fun. it uses ai to create code diffs and applies it automatically. neat workflow.

you can use local models as well:

 Hi everyone one,this first post on the noster network.

 A fire upon the deep is the best. If you like that you may like house of suns. 
 Haven’t tried revelation space… adding to my reading list. Started reading diaspora by greg egan to try something a bit different.

 do you have a specific example of this? what do you mean? 
 Definitely could go either way here. Looks like it works in damus 
 nostr graveyard is now in the nostr graveyard, along with the kind 3 itself 
 It comes and goes. Usually quiet on weekends.

 Someone who was targeting you could see how often you use nostr i guess? 
 yeah i’m not against embedding tor 
 people still email me asking to reset their damus password. oh boy. 
 Yes we prompt to store it in iCloud keychain 
 We don’t force it but we do ask 
 I’ve never had to start over on my machine for over 10 years, every switch to a new state is like a fresh install. 
 been adding 10g of hydrolyzed collagen to my tea in the morning. this is what happens when I start listening to the huberman podcast 
 do you supplement it?  
 I assumed 😅 
 I’d imagine so 
 ah good catch. a lot of us are just doing are best, we are not a huge team and daniel is only part time.
