Last Notes npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Awesome. Feasible? I've thought about this before but figured you couldn't do it performantly npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'm still looking for reviewers, the threat model is wacky npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Is marmot not open? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod https://hodlbod.coracle.social/77c3caa2eafba7abe41f71221976ecb1f7e08962e5c454761c0974a0f740a893.jpg npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Protocol means interoperability. Interoperability is hard and means making compromises npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Have you looked at pomade? It uses shamir secret sharing to store secrets custodially but across multiple parties, with email recovery so newbies don't have to back stuff up out the gate npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod It's all so complicated, I don't know what to think npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Feels that way npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod For anyone interested, @nprofile…e430 has been going through the recent Epstein dump and highlighting interesting documents. Sadly, much of the contents seem to be basically hearsay, but there is some seriously messed up stuff in there. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod What npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Maybe, I bet there are ways to get better guarantees via zk proofs or something npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I think advertising ia bad, but it will happen anyway, but nostr's architecture limits how bad it can be, and those of us who are principled can still find business models that work, especially with bitcoin in the mix. Maybe I will write about this, I have some ideas. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod There are a few I think. I know divine has been looking into scaling their relay @nprofile…aufq npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I do think pain can help. It's a chicken and egg problem. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod It would have to be a server run by a client with cryptographic keys for sending notifications to the app. For implementation, see npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Epistemology is the other big one, and it's the road to the others npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod So who reported this and how reliable is it? Man I wish this would go somewhere but it seems so bogged down at this point npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod But I don't want the callback server to see the events! npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Sure, it's a chicken/egg thing, I have not problem with us getting hammered with traffic. We're probably just going to fail a few more times before everything is up to snuff npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'll RFC this too. The original version is here: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yes, also very true npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Nostr isn't ready for an influx like this first of all. Relays would fall down, and how would clients handle posts with 30k likes? We need to figure out caching and aggregation strategies that are better than just checking all relays. And unfortunately this is hard to do without centralization. There are lots of unsolved problems, decentralization is hard. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod 😂 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Shop class as slopcraft npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Slop class as soulcraft npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod 0 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Thanks for your thoughts, I love your perspective. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I think about model collapse daily. It actually gives me great hope. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I think it's a perfect application, and the more important question, really. I read Kingsnorth recently, and he puts a nice bow on a lot of reading I've been doing. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Thanks for reading and engaging seriously. It feels like most people either miss my point or just ignore it. But it's a very "bitcoin" argument I'm making npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I've used it to get out of my comfort zone too and learn some go, and yeah, using it as an educational tool is probably one of the best applications of the technology, because the LLM is adapting itself to a human form rather than the other way around, and you can take the knowledge with you. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'll admit to the old man yelling at cloud vibes. I think the luddites were right too. All I can do is trust that this is all in God's providence. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Open models are great, but I don't think they even begin to address the malebolge of dysfunction the medium is creating. I agree with @nprofile…qahs's point, bitcoiners can see the perversity of fiat currency; I think LLMs are at the heart of that same mindset, manifesting in different ways. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, weird how all-in people are on it npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod "The only universal law of history is the law of unintended consequences." npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Ok, I guess I have some things to try. Been meaning to try kimi as well npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Whenever I reach for open code I immediately regret it. Whenever I reach for claude code I regret it later. Which wastes more of my time? I'm not sure. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, my reactionary friend always says this and I just don't see it npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I read about this today, apparently they use silent push notifications to wake the app up, but they often get ignored due to battery optimizations. I'm working on a spec/implementation that will make real push notifications possible on nostr: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2194 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Gotta keep it interesting npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod why not both npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod When you're testing something npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Funny, because I am currently sabbathing from podcasting, but I'll take a listen npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod haha that list 😂 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Now that's something I can agree with. Small is beautiful npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I tried to get it there but no luck npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Amazing thank you npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, a multi-tenant hosted email setup would be way more annoying. I host my email with proton and just point my nip 05 there npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Mine is, it's quite easy to set up if you're not afraid of DNS npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod 😂 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod unfortunately yes npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod https://github.com/moltbot/moltbot/issues/3020 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I was thinking about that earlier, with you in mind. I have some guesses, but I don't know, why are you? Is it because you are ahead of the curve because you throw yourself in 100%? Is it because you have the right temperament to do context engineering right? Do you have a higher tolerance for chaotic behavior? Do you want it to be true? Do you have the discipline to not get distracted on side quests? Do you have an overriding vision that keeps you rooted? All of these things may be true. But none of them go to the root of my argument, because they are all ways in which you as a person are able to master an unruly tool instrumentally, not about how people in general are able to prevent being mastered by it formally. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod There are no arguments to address, just contrary assertions of platitude npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Here's another one I wrote this morning: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I wrote another article instead npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The one thing they can't take from us npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod What a predictably average response npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod @nprofile…n62z does habla not have a comments section? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod This is hardcore, I aspire to this level of personal study npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod If you enjoyed my article this morning, upvote it on hackernews: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Cal.com ❤️ proton calendar, but they both seem to hate me. The signup works for me when I test it in a private window. Anyway, I'm pretty flexible, send me a message and we can find a time pretty much whenever (US/Pacific) npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod All of my rants are delivered with great affection and gratitude to everyone here in my heart npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I think this is wise. I love the Amish, simply because they choose to do the difficult thing of regulating technology in their communities. But they have their own dysfunctions as well. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yes, it is as Jacques Ellul prophesied. I do think there are things we can resist, not en masse, but as individuals. But it's a very concrete, local type of culture, as opposed to the totalizing one technology offers. See Paul Kingsnorth for more on this. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Oh, and your drafts saved me this morning, so thank you for that npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod @nprofile…ccjq a couple issues on the new habla editor (thank you by the way, it's beautiful): npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod And in what context npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod It's hard to talk about AI. It's just such a massive, multi-faceted topic npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod A rant for your reading pleasure npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod call it a hunch. Or read academic studies and look at the kinds of AI-coded stuff that gets attention npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The VC subsidy is certainly active too, prices are going to go up a lot once someone locks in a monopoly npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Just remember the hype surrounding the dot-com bubble 3 years after the date cited npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod nice strawman argument you have here npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I think the answer is more subtle. But that's certainly how it feels as I unpack the history of modernity to try to understand npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I have read about gastown, the man is having a mental breakdown npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I appreciate the honesty haha npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Nostr is my bubble and amazingly based in most ways, but I'm slowly coming to the realization that people here have boarded this particular hype train npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I know you like reading, so here you go: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, claude is useful, I'll admit it. My point is much broader than short term productivity tools npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod They have chosen which trees to cut down npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod My anti-AI takes aren't popular, weird npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Doing the thing is doing the thing npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod love you dad npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Lol well put npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod It's already happening npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Being anti-technology is like being anti-tree. Technology is non-negotiable, it's just a fact. But individual technologies, like forests, can change over time. And individual applications of a technology, like trees, which are particular, contextual, and concrete, can be modified to suit the user and his environment. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I am here merely to serve npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Completely agree with that. I think the interesting point is that just because someone can doesn't mean they should — is that fancy database setup, DSL parser, agent framework, mesh network, whatever providing value to its users? LLM coding is more often than not a complete distraction from stuff that matters. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod LLM-assisted coding can be used to good effect, but I think it's pretty clear at this point that its impact has so far been a net negative on productivity in real terms. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod No, at worst it's tryhard midwittery npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I buy a new one every year npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I quite like emails, especially newsletters and digests that I subscribed to. I do not like push except for messages from friends I have an actual relationship with. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod LLMs are demolishing the low-code industry because they are a perfect fit for that kind of work. If trade-offs exist, then they are a less optimal fit for other kinds of work (though maybe a viable alternative). The corollary is that the work you feel most productive doing with LLMs is probably the same kind of work low-code products were intended to address (and mostly failed to do so). npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I get a weird error too: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'll make the LLM do it npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Completely agree npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The best ones are npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Who are you trying to zap? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Just published the text for a talk I gave last week at a local libertarian forum. It's aimed at the type of person I go to church with, but I put a lot of work into articulating my argument for freedom technology.
