Public thoughts. Striving for honesty and some kind of value. Brain temp probably a bit too high.

What do you think of decaffeinated coffee?

2024-08-02 11:10:50

Get your inner flywheel going. Charge up so that you can apply energy at will. State your goals and become aware of the directions you are heading. Guard your error correcting mechanisms. There will always be distractions. And when you've done your work - charge up again.

I have some wishes for Nostr, like a DVM for note embedding with semantic search across Nostr. In general I find the SNR on Nostr not so great. Another wish would be sub-profiles and lists to follow based on topics.

That's a broad question. What kind of product or service do you want to build?

Let go of the distractions. Ponder what's important. Give meaning to ordinary things. Find gratitude and take agency. Make your inner child proud of what it has become.

No need to write anything. Other things are more important. Time to write is a gift. I'm grateful for that. It calms the mind. With every sentence comes more clarity. On to the next.

2024-07-25 09:32:44

Get still for the mental fog to clear. Words emerge to form the next sentence. Enjoy the process. The blinking cursor is patient. Observe your surroundings. It will reveal your next task. Get still whenever needed.

Liebe deinen Nächsten wie dich selbst.
We may do as we please,
but we do crave for love.

I guess we have quite a different look on life. I agree that there are big problems, but I'm optimistic nonetheless. Maybe our geography also plays a role in this (I live in Germany).
Regarding kids I think there's always a risk, that their life will be worse than mine, but I think my kids can also have a good life.
However, this does not mean I deny that there are problems, and I also wish there would be less suffering overall. But I believe that we can find solutions for our big population without choosing to die out. I belief we can be wealthy and preserve the environment. I don't know how we can get there (some people are calling for revolution, I rather like piecemeal social engineering). But I don't think that having no kids will bring us there.

I see my responsibility as a father in providing an environment for my children in which they can grow up in a healthy way. That includes providing for their basic needs but also developing social skills, a save place to play, learning about things they are interested in and so on. For that I am willing to sacrifice a lot, first and foremost time I could spend on work or hobbies but also money, mostly by missing career opportunities.
I don't see it as my responsibility (or even capability) to change the world.
Would I literally die for my children, I don't know, I hope this situation will never come. But donating organs or similar is something I definitely can imagine.
I guess since we have so widely different perspectives on life, it's hard for us to agree on this topic.
Can you imagine hypothetical parents that are doing enough for their kids and the world to justify the decision to bring more life into this world?

If an AI is average at a task, then it's a great tool for people below average, a direct competitor for average practitioners and maybe a useful tool to increase productivity for people above average.
I believe this holds for tasks like writing, coding, drawing, and other applications of generative AI.
So I think it's a good strategy to be jack of all trades (below average) and master of one (above average). Like a T shape, shallow but wide and narrow but deep.

music got simpler over the years. became background radiation. but good music is still out there. it's worth having a listen.

2024-04-11 18:23:50

listening to some slow rock. children asleep. life is good.

Is it possible to have private groups in Nostr? Most of my life is neither purely personal nor all-out public. There are DMs for a start, but is something like groupchat possible?

After becoming an atheist, this was one of my main critics. I wanted to make a point that I don't need to be christian to be a good person. And this is possible, no question about it. Also, it's entirely possible to be a bad person and christian.
By now I've somewhat found my way back to religion. It's a welcoming community, emphasizes morale and does a lot of charity work. It has a lot of facets, and there are lots of things to criticize. But for me, in my location, the good outweighs the bad by far.

Back on plebstr, tried Damus but for some reason I can't articulate I don't really like it.

What is wireheading? It's a shortcut of a reward function. I get pleasure from sex because evolution favors reproduction. Porn is a shortcut. I like sweet tastes because fruits, honey and milk give instant energy. Sweets are a shortcut. I like to go on an adventure because it promises new resources. Gaming is a shortcut. I seek new information to better socialize. TikTok is a shortcut. This are "is" statements, I don't want to derive "ought" statements in general. But for myself I don't like wireheading. They feel like vulnerabilities of the brain that can be exploited far too easily. The reason for wireheading seems also multi-causal. I lack discipline, financial incentives make these shortcuts lukrative for providers, societal norms can make it hard to resist some of these shortcuts. But I want to be aware of them. Reduce their grip on my life. Having agency over my behavior. Posting these notes is probably also a shortcut for socializing. But so far I like it as an addition. Same goes for some of the other shortcuts. Again, I don't want to derive general "ought" statements. So I wish you agency and independence to live your life to your liking. Thanks for reading.

Maybe there is room for an "ignore" Nostr event kind. Post it as a response to any of your notes to signal that they can be ignored. People can choose their client based on how it handles these ignore events.

After posting these kind of notes, I always feel like having had to much sugar. It's cheap to post these shower thoughts and there is a temptation to share such random "insights" with the world. Like informational fast food or the urge to play with a fidget gadget. Apologies for any spam, unfortunately deletion is not a feature of Nostr.

In a world of generative AI that is only limited by the imagination of the prompt, the key skill is to focus and keeping a clear mind.

In that regard, does Nostr depend on Bitcoin, or does it only use LN for zaps?
