Trying to build the ability to share a persons opinions over Nostr without also sharing the data feeds that were used to form those opinions. A computer nerd would say we're sharing a bayesian neural net via CRDT over a nostr event log using yjs resulting in an eventually consistent state. Carl Jung would call it sharing a subjective experience without a shared causal connection - synchronicity. In fact, Jung has a great name for all the stuff going on here.

People who predict that bitcoin will replace the corporate treasuries of the world, real estate, securities and be worth all of them together should consider the possibility that bitcoin will just remove (not replace) the need for collateralized assets to secure payments. My sincere hope is that bitcoin takes over all global and local transactions while the dollar price still goes down from here.

cafe-society.news currently lets you train an algorithm to filter a feed, then copy paste your algorithm to other devices or other feeds. cafe-society.news is opposed to paying for servers in order to spend more on eponymous developer expenses, such as food and rent. y-nostr (currently hypothetical) would take the current copy paste workflow to a nostr event hosted workflow. Not an ipfs hosted workflow nor a google docs hosted workflow. If people disagree with this approach, please state your reasoning.

I've written a tool to train ml models against the nostr feed as well as custom labels with multiple rss feed sources. I don't know anyone who wants it, but I've always hoped someone use models trained on cafe-society.news to filter messages on the relay. It would likely require installing winknlp on the server. Or start with a simple whitelist and blocklist (words) expected to be run on the server. (assuming there's not already NIP for content filters)

After cafe-society.news gets nostr-crdt plumbing set up for sharing ml models, it will move on to making predictions with some sort of homomorphic encryption capable approach. ML trainer users will not need to publish their model to make money, and prediction users will not need to share their raw data to get predictions. nucypher and zama use Ethereum (I don't know if that means they work on rootstock.) I'm just some dude, but I'd like to see something compatible with lightning payments, which I'm pretty sure an ethereum contract is not. I'd love some comments pls.

What:
y-nostr - prospectus
Why:
yjs is garnering 500k per week downloads at npmjs. y-nostr will provide a convenient way for developers to add nostr infrastructure to a familiar interface. The resulting adoption of nostr will be astounding.
Who:
Cole Albon with help from existing work
- https://github.com/YousefED/nostr-crdt
- https://www.npmjs.com/package/yjs
- y-indexeddb
- y-websocket
- y-webrtc
- y-nostr <— this project coming soon, needs funding:
How:
The existing nostr-crdt has the functionality, but is broken since a recent upgrade of nostr-tools.
- modify the code in nostr-crdt to work with current nostr-tools and repackage as y-nostr.
- swap out nostr-tools for NDK. NDK comes with a best in class approach to security, and we think NDK is probably up to the task.
Developer Background:
- 1999 - modified the Melissa virus to become one of the first commercial email marketing engines.
- 2000 - as a sales dude, wrote a vt-100 terminal scraper to harvest the Insight Corporation open/orphan orders. Successfully traded resulting lead lists colleagues for favors and food.
- 2013 - launched ripple-bandit.com the worlds first dice address on the ripple payment platform.
- 2016 - created blocktool, a tool to denormalize utxo transactions to a corporate analytics friendly format.
- 2019 - partnered with some dude from Nike - 2nd place in the Portland Blockstack hackathon - dice address for stacks this time.
- 2023 - launched git-nostr a pure shell script program to replace git-ssb (secure scuttlebutt) - allows hosting cryptography projects in the EU.
- 2024 - flat broke, need work soon.
Please send money or direct me to an appropriate grant application.

the problem is almost certainly here. https://github.com/colealbon/cafe-society-old/blob/450680a0f987ccfd3cf03c77c1be5c6118d2090c/src/App.tsx#L203C38-L203C38

I tried, but looks like njump.me feeds don't get parsed correctly by cafe-society.news state of the art rss parser. Unless someone takes it on, I'll put atom feed parsing it on the todo list. This would void alot of work I would otherwise have to do to grow beyond the nostr global feed. https://njump.me/npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a.rss

3 minutes - create SEO metatags from rss feeds and chatGPT (or llama, etc). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLN72EwRm6Q

Until everyone moves to Nostr, X/Twitter should identify censored content with actual blacked out content in tweets labeled with who requested the censorship.

I made wss://140.f7z.io the default relay for cafe-society.news nostr global page. https://github.com/colealbon/cafe-society.news/commit/5900de7490997f4ba5e519a3b8a43a4981a6f5fb

I'll likely be using nostrdb for storing a ~1 megabyte machine learning model so people can share their preferences real time. It would be a long anticipated long delayed conversion from blockstack/stacks. I've already spiked on yjs (I think I got yjs from the nostrdb code) Any objections?

I assume the criminals you refer to are the government agencies collecting the fines because "money laundering". Do you know if the fine money comes out of customer funds?

I was on the marketing team at GoDaddy during the SaveToby controversy and the banned Superbowl ad controversy. Both stunts landed a phenomenal amount of free press and subsequent traffic. I was on the Sigaba sales team when they rented 6 heavily decaled humvees to escort journalists around Las Vegas during Comdex. As a salesperson and aspiring software engineer, I converted the melissa virus into an email guesser to bump my sales leads, making me one of the first to transition from fax spam to email spam. Prior to the Mt Gox collapse, I commandeered the "payments" weekly developer meetup in San Francisco to steer developers (and MicroStrategy consultants) to the bitcoin meetup. I got personal training from Regina Brady who's favorite direct marketing ad campaign was an apology letter for an event that never actually happened.
In short, I've watched teriffic guerilla marketers apply their trade and I've done a bit myself.
I see guerilla marketing written all over the Sam Altman business.
P.S. I'm looking for javascript work and might be guerilla marketing to you now.

You can engage with whomever you want. I will just point out that you are arguing for more french fries or "...cheese or something". You are approaching a certain age where you should be happily paying a fortune for smaller higher quality portion sizes.

Head of some of the biggest AI projects on earth, Andrew Ng, says more than once in this interview that he expects AI processing to move towards the edge (on laptops). I agree, ChatGPT is doing it wrong (my words not his). If you try to anticipate every single question from every single user on earth with one huge 8 figure training session then you have to bombard the press and congress with advertising just to break even. Great for transferring investor money to advertisers like Alphabet, and MSN, but otherwise huge waste of electricity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDBq0GqKpqA&list=TLPQMDUxMTIwMjONZgcGdpBDgw&index=1

Journalists and whistleblowers are too eager to self censor when it comes to exposing names and actions taken by the people who are members of organizations. Organizations are immune to accountability and punishment. People are not. It is changing though, when Russel Brand was cancelled, some journalists were quick to publish Dame Caroline Dinenage's name, her husband's political connections, and letter she wrote. As a news consumer, I can't do much, but I can at least seek out and click more on journalists who write about people instead of vague institutions.

I wrote a tool to train your own filter against the global nostr feed. More signal less noise from the main vein. https://cafe-society.news/nostrposts. The default is my own personal preference for breaking news, less bitcoin. You can delete the default and start training your own filter - all client side training and prediction.

"spam and impersonation is increasing on nostr recently… " - not in my hizzy. I trained against 4000 nostr posts to suppress bitcoin price articles, zapathons, spanish poetry, vulgar language and whetever else. https://cafe-society.news/nostrposts. Not good yet, but much better than IRL. Here is the winknlp compatible model if you're curious. https://github.com/colealbon/squelch/blob/50772762d7ed6b7c4f920903b243083972e069c2/src/defaultClassifiers.ts#L38

yes! cafe-society.news/nostrfeed considers a post read if it is an 80% string similarity score.
