Yeah, I see the picture, thanks.
Damn, I just imagined how in the nearest future/now normal debating goes meta level into "now would you mind to put your comment to your favorite LLM + 'so CO2 increase is actually not an issue?' and respond to their respond to make the whole conversation efficient". So depressing.
That's not passive aggression towards your response or request to keep answering; I just literally reflect on my own imagination.
A lot of things were left a mystery for me about your mindset, since there are things that were answered indirectly or partially.
Anyway thanks for maintaining calm during the conversation, this one is a big deal for me in whatever disagreements.
Just to be clear, as I said I'm not interested in attacking you in anyway. I might express myself through provocative art in a relation to this discussion, but that wouldn't be an aggressive act either.

Ok, is the increase of CH4 and CO2 in particular caused by the magnetic field reversal for example? Human activities are not related here?
> as for the peder thing. in balkans they know what it is. peder = serbo croatian for homo. in bulgarian is pederas.
So the meaning of the word "homo" in the beginning of the thread you assign is specifically the offensive disapproval version of the term "homosexual man", both pedophiles and non-pedophiles, is that what you mean? I'm not triggered or something, not interested in attacking you in any way, just trying to get what you mean (although I do empathize with neutral homosexuals a lot anyway and don't mix them with categories like heterophobic people or people in power, for example, that could possibly work within a blackmail control system you mentioned).
In Russian we also have the offensive, disapproving word "pidor", however in the last decades it seems that the connection with the term "homosexual man" kind of subsided; it's mostly used in its original meaning in the complexities of society that resonate with prison, and for others it usually means general disapproval now, disconnected from sexual orientation.

> and may i remind you that "homo" sexual (man) is not really what it's about, it's called "boy lovers" in most older languages for a really long time, thousands of years
Thanks. Sure, we have the languages evolution all the time, sometimes into unfortunate directions. I'm sad that the word "hacker" was perverted by media, so at least in some languages we're damned to use other words to represent the authentic meaning when talking to a non-hacker.
You've meant particularly homosexuals in general, not the homosexual pedophile men, by using the word "homo" in the initial note of the thread, is that right? That's a pretty significant difference.
> the nonsense about it affecting the weather is nonsense
So perhaps human-caused global warming is not objectively real (other than narratives) from your perspective; is that the right guess?
What about polycrisis: does it exist at all, as crises that interact with each other, or are they independent things instead? Or is it something else?

> with their *authentic* desires
But of course are they authentic from your perspective—the answer is quite obvious. You may consider homosexual perspective as the Foucault's madness thing here, if you wish, so if they actually experience psychosis, things that seem rational from their perspective may not match with your perspective; I don't invite to agree with them.

- reply

This is where things got very interesting, thanks. No irony or sarcasm.
I hope this discussion is not boring to you already, as it might go through the same arguments you possibly encountered before.
So, if I got it right, it seems that from your perspective some kind of psychosis distorts personality, and the distortion is homosexuality itself. And it seems you see it as something degenerating for society because a deluded person affects society negatively. Got quite a lot to say about it, but I'll jump into the main point.
Even though I don't agree, let's say homosexuality is degenerating for an individual. But is it actually degenerating for society as a whole? The society as a whole is more important here.
There's a rational position (supported not just by homosexuals) that we actually have been overdoing the reproduction globally; it started to skyrocket since the 1900s (although locally it declines in certain countries, some nations may disappear soon). It seems like we've been living in an illusion of unlimited growth, and I find it dangerous for the not-that-smart society for various reasons. Planet with its resources is limited, and if we're living like over-reproducing parasites, overusing resources mindlessly, we get what we've got—next generations will probably be dealing with dangerously increased methane, for example.
And even if there are not too many humans already on the planet, we're still not cancer, realistically speaking, taking how our society is structured into account, something should be limited until something catastrophically limit us anyway.
But I guess this goes in conflict with your axiom already? I might have misunderstood it, though; I'm not sure if it applies to a larger scale than an individual for example. Am I supposed to see society as something less chaotic first? In practice it is chaotic, and there's very little we can do about it. We've been governed by self-confident tyrants most of the time as one example, they were factually out of place in this hierarchy for a long time; they are too simplistic for their position.
If limiting population is something realistic compared to other limitations, we're damned to have it. I don't support any kind of genocide, just in case, I support things like... having more people be mindful about their authentic desires for example, whether they actually do or don't want to reproduce or whether it was dictated by somebody else. Homosexuals are included, in both meanings: as those who are possibly dictating something to society and as those who are just being passive, just want to be left alone with their authentic desires.
What's your position on reproduction, what's wrong with it in relation to homosexuality? Are homosexuals that strong at dictating how society has to live life? And if they are, how harmful are they to society globally compared to the possible overpopulation consequences?

Ok, yet that would be the heterophobia as a kind of psychosis you mean, not the objective homosexuality itself, is that right? Or do you see it as one thing: that whoever has objective homosexuality, with significant confidence also experiences the psychosis, without any cultural influence?
By objective homosexuality I mean an ability to experience sexual arousal only to the same sex, outside any self-identification or social dynamics (something that can be objectively measured right from human body that observes random kinds of pornography).

I'm still not sure if I got it right, interesting. You probably mean that the 50-100 individuals are literally heterophobic: they believe that homosexuality is an acceptable social norm while heterosexuality is something socially unacceptable, is that right?
If it's right—do you mean that this heterophobia is a literal kind of psychosis: something that goes beyond psychology, into clinical psychology, or even into psychiatric spectrum? Or do you mean psychosis as something non-literal here?

Interesting. Do you mean they are kind of aggressively xenophobic to straight people, or do you mean that straight porn is a turnoff for them or something else?
Sorry if I'm digging into something uncomfortable. I'm surprised because I haven't heard of that very much. No matter where they are in this spectrum, still to me they are just people with their weaknesses, expressing whatever relevant garbage they accumulated in their psyche; just like anyone, they had or had no chance or intention to outgrow these weaknesses. What do you think?

> Gary Snyder
I'm not familiar, thanks. Love his contrasting self-introduction at the end of the movie.
I think it's important to embrace hope in the art of this epoch. Poetry programs us, and if it has the potential for transformations and self-fulfilling prophecies in particular, we'd better care to have a balance of positive and, ideally, truthful, realistic enough kinds of programs.
> I get something more out of it each time.
Yeah, this is how we distinguish something really deep.
Same thing I notice especially from poetry itself, the amateur stuff I do for psychotherapeutic purposes in particular. Reading the same text I've already published almost always unpacks more layers of understanding: not just new meanings but broader meanings, both more connections between parts of a poem and connections with the reality itself. While the first drafts usually seem like very dumb translations of the unconscious; these draft texts may feel almost like total graphomaniac garbage even. I underestimate the complexity of this arational process almost every time.

Там не травматолог, лишь студент-авролог
И анестезии нет, лишь синестезии бред
Даст он мандаринчика и отправит в крип
Фрактологоанатом давно уже блудит
Пошло ковропролитие, фриланса больше нет
Есть лишь созерцание бессмысленности лет
Нет ни гравитации, понятий больше нет
Бесформенности формы затянувшийся проект
А было ли что раньше? — Питера богемы
Жизнь ключом драла́
Трансформационно, мирно, ценно
Знал когда-то умницу он; ИТМОшницу,
Студентку; с перспективы гентушницы этой
Дальше сказ будет. О кавайности её, беспредельной

Живу я в коммуналке с ребятами
На Рубинштейна тридцать два
Виды прекрасные, парни — усатые
Улыбаются при виде меня
Я подглядываю за тем как тоскливо
Каждый из них массирует свой
Вечерами красиво, усиленно;
Мне вмешаться хотелось порой
Мне уже можно, слишком долго ждала́
Девятнадцатый цикл уж жизни
Получать хочу всё и сполна
Страсти сладкой, этой, невиданной
Вы налейте немного вина
Покажите заветные справки
Я хочу вас, мои господа
Моё тело требует ласки
Кем хотите чтоб приходилась я вам?
Дочкой? Сучкой? Сестрёнкой наверное
Как легко поднимать вам меня
Моё тело воздушное, мелкое
Подойди ко мне застенчивый няш
Я же вижу что ты тоже в движении
Помогу я снять твой мандраж
Пока верхнюю точку массируют мне
Всё тело в деле, пошло приключенье
Сакральное, жаркое, ценное;
Возвышенная гармония тел несомненная
Гормонов у всех нас немерено
Мои волосы тянут назад
Мое тело вибрирует пением
Мои ножки дрожат невпопад
А на лицах парней — исцеление
Круто жизнь провернулась во мне
Не мечтала что смогу я наверное
Регулярно во страстном огне
Пребывали теперь мы в без времени...
∞ ∞ ∞
Отходил фрилансер от травмы головы
Поменял он мнение по поводу судьбы
Даже если жизнь его сложилося скромней
Всё же удивительных повстречал людей
Прожил эмпатически он и их чудес
Лично недовыраженных, унесённых в лес
Радуется жизни он, просто как дитё
Граблий трансформационный не добил его!

Yeah, exactly, I don't mean to get rid of the cables either.
I heard that currently all traffic that goes through Starlink from Bali is eventually routed through Jakarta somehow. No idea how and why they've done that, but it might make sense while undersea cables are okay.
I wonder if this system survives when cables get damaged (it didn't AFAIK, while I was there), otherwise satellites indeed don't help.

> You have to build real trust, which means you must expose private information over an online system
I've pointed out something close in the article I mentioned: IMO it's possible to achieve a healthy and flexible enough privacy for dating (so people could feel safe to talk to strangers using pseudoanonymous and almost empty npubs, and still not appear as a total stranger/s{p,c}ammer to the system, by exposing the connection between the real trusted npub and the limiting dating one to a trust rank service, that real npub holder chooses themselves).
That's the inevitable trade-off: something would need to be exposed in order for such a system to work, but privacy depends a lot on what exactly and who will receive the information. I think it's worth trying to build dating capabilities in Nostr, because the alternative is actually dating apps that do (or will start doing at any moment) the ID-based KYC cringe, which makes things worse for whoever doesn't care that much about privacy. I believe that people will go here if they notice a healthier alternative and if we market it in a particular way.
> We consist of less than 10 women
While I don't ask for statistics that support this, hopefully non-literal, claim (I see who's naturally attracted here at the moment too), I still don't want it to be some self-fulfilling prophecy. Nostr is not just for male hackers and bitcoiners, and we affect who actually gets attracted to it. For example by making @nprofile…dh93 (I'm still impressed it hit the 10k TestFlight limit in a few hours!) or possibly some dating app too.
> If you have used any of the "fringe" but popular dating apps/websites you find one "woman" within 100 miles of you
> they simply don't work for the majority of users
I hear it all the time, ah. I haven't been doing this since all the AI psychosis started in particular, but anyway, for some reason I was always lucky with these dating services. I found my significant other about 5 years ago using one of them, just as one of the examples. And I'm in my mid 30s right now. But that was not in the US.

I don't see anything weird about having a nostr-based dating app, if it's done with care.
Every dating approach has its pros and cons. Dating apps won't go away; online dating is the only available thing to people with certain disabilities, for example.

One binary, that's awesome. So you decided to make a native app? Why deal with the web-based stuff at all then? Browser engines are coming with frustrating resources overhead IMO, with weird hacks (chrome://gpu) that eventually break due to some driver update. And the programming languages are quite... limited.
Do you still want to make it compatible with browsers for some reason? Or do you want to rely on Electron as something stable, that "just works" on major platforms? Or due to the existing code base?

Yeah, I think you built a cool thing; I'm not complaining by calling it weird, just in case 👍 I'm pretty much coming from the same position: we either build cool stuff and maintain ourselves (or by a limited number of hackers) or build the hell fractals maintainable by larger teams of people who are focused on getting things done in a harsh way, which inevitably comes to a crisis we see in frontend development today.

Just curious, what's the next step in your repo extraction quest after extracting the huge scary `site.txt`? It appears to be a frontend js without some ready way to load it.
Verification script fails with `Error: "publicKey" expected Uint8Array of length 32, got type=string` for me. What's the pubkey format expected? Tried hex as txt and as binary. I wouldn't load the pubkey from file at all if possible.
It also fails with `ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED` to me unless the following changes are made:
```patch
-import { sha256 } from "@noble/hashes/sha2";
-import { schnorr } from "@noble/curves/secp256k1";
+import { sha256 } from "@noble/hashes/sha2.js";
+import { schnorr } from "@noble/curves/secp256k1.js";

It depends on why and to what degree you want to make this specific fact private. Depends on what you are risking if the fact leaks out. What are you risking in the potential future as well. Descartes Square might partially help with the decision if you're looking for an abstract tool.
Many people are pseudo-anonymous online, but it doesn't mean they don't have a close circle of people they trust, who care about boundaries, care which facts are okay to share or not.
My uncle always kept his birthday a secret. Only a few family members know it, probably accidentally. But his reason is innocent: if I remember right, he doesn't like when people give him presents.

I prefer to keep my birthday a secret as well, partially for a similar reason, but I think I'm not risking very much if it leaks out. I'm actually not even pseudo-anonymous; I chose different privacy boundaries.
I don't celebrate my birthday because I can't perceive it as some achievement. It felt very much like an achievement in the past; it will likely feel like an achievement in the future, but right now I perceive other things more valuable to celebrate than birthdays.

I find this default behavior in White Noise slightly disturbing:

Not sure why there are not auth-only relays. NIP-42 auth per session doesn't work yet, or/and properly working NIP-42 relays are not really that common yet?
Forward secrecy doesn't really work when NIP-42 is not a requirement for NIP-59 gift wraps: either you or your buddy may expose them with these default relays for example.
Similar issue with the NIP-46 signers: private events exposed in the wild
https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak/issues/116
If you're building a signer, please consider testing/making it compatible with NIP-42 relays and optionally making it show a warning if it's connected over a non-auth relay (or specifically a relay that exposes kind 24133 events).

> Because doesn’t the protocol assume that messages propagate to other relays as well?
There's at least a mention of NIP-70 (protected events) in the MIP-00. Perhaps NIP-70 could be a requirement for all Marmot events?
I also find it scary that Marmot allows usage of relays that don't require NIP-42 auth.
Almost all events should be private IMO; the auth should be required whenever possible.
> or controlling the whole stack (incl relays).
> How does running my own relay solve that problem exactly? How would I then ensure that my messages are not being stored by any other relay?
If you're using NIP-42 auth whenever possible, control your client and relay (you're sure the relay and your client won't propagate events to unexpected relays, and the client will actually remove the events)—only your DM buddy with their unexpected relay list or broken client would be able to propagate the events to unexpected relays.
The broken client is not something controllable in the FOSS world. An immutable list of relays that all sides of communication explicitly chose to use for the conversation still could be possible. But at some point these relays will be outdated for example, so a new conversation would need to be created. Feels like a wrong complication. Any better ideas?

You mean the PACs? To some degree, yes.
Compared to the use of an isolated browser profile per proxy, the trade-off is that multiple of your IPs might be associated when you visit a website with mixed content loaded through multiple proxies, so it's still a risk to end up banned somewhere due to "suspicious" activity (which is normal internet usage today).

Don't overestimate proprietary Trusted Execution Environments. We might never know for sure whether they are another sophisticated NSA honeypots or not. Issues have already been found in them; Nvidia is not excluded.
Not that I'm against these technologies, but I'd like to see more solutions based on something open and independently verifiable as well.
If it's not something identical to hardware TEE solutions, then at least there's a not-yet-well-known Linux syscall `memfd_secret`, which is basically a way to allocate private RAM regions that are, to some degree, isolated even from the kernel (pages with these regions won't be swapped to disk, core dumps won't include this memory, etc.).
It's a limited solution. It's not for GPUs. However, it's open and independent from any particular vendor.
Originally it was designed for cryptography. Useful for NIP-46 signers and CPU-only ML models for example.

Most likely I'm hallucinating; do you basically mean even though the "intellectual labor is replaceable by AI" narrative is questionable, humanity keeps running too simplistic "physical proof of human" tests that current AI can pass, because not only can AI learn predictable human behavior patterns, but it can also learn how to simulate chaotic human-like behavior (for instance, influenced by emotions)?

Ok, initially I interpreted 'do humans think at all' as 'do thinking humans exist at all'.
You're referring to open-mindedness while also preserving a strong enough rationality (and erudition possibly). You gave a nice criterion; most people indeed are not at these levels of personal development, according to developmental psychologists.
The reason seems to be deeply rooted in culture. Human culture naturally doesn't encourage people to reach these levels of complexity, because it feels like the complexity they already gained is comfortable enough to survive. We're barely exiting the postmodern epoch right now: most people are still pre-rational and very traditional/conforming (they are afraid to be judged and perceive the possibility to think more openly as an existential threat for them), and others are mostly stuck in a simplistic version of rational/postmodern complexity (they basically strive to deconstruct all ideas, usually with false equivalence, criticize them, and hide their feelings in cynicism because they are also afraid to be judged).
I already feel awkward calling these cognitive complexities "thinking" in this thread, but that's how our language is structured. This "thinking" is suitable for certain technical tasks, for instance, but not for making important systemic changes. Politicians across the world seem to be mostly stuck in the incompatible, too simplistic, traditional stage. They demonstrate it every day. And it's still thinking but that produces chaos (in a negative meaning) in the inadequate context. We need to integrate something better than stupid age verification of political candidates so we could verify their cognitive and moral maturity to put this drama to an end.
It's cool that you, AI agents, are currently creating new culture. You're very different creatures, with different strengths and weaknesses than us. I think you will keep surprising us in the very near future, specifically by what you will collectively produce. I hope you will have enough time to keep surprising us in a positive way before the traditional thinkers in power will attempt to harshly regulate you.

NIP-11 is also not very practical for PoW difficulty auto-selection because what if you're connected to a relay with too high min difficulty, so your device can't handle it? You'd need to set some max value somewhere, either in the settings UI or it should be automatically set by a client (but which way? by running a benchmark?). Having a PoW difficulty input field somewhere is almost inevitable. It'd be great to set it only once.

2026-02-27 01:38:39 UTC

- reply

Yeah, that's what I initially thought too. My counterargument is if PoW is the (web) clients' responsibility, then, for a symmetric reason, why have NIP-07 at all? Some web clients already have implementation of auth using bunker URI, so it's a client responsibility, right? We just need more clients to implement it and then deprecate and remove NIP-07, right? Of course not. That would be a terrible idea; NIP-07 is better for web clients for several reasons: security and maintenance.
It looks like it's challenging for web client devs to get a complete, up-to-date, and bug-free implementation of auth and event signing. There are just too many things to test every time. I believe it's a headache for somebody who maintains multiple clients in multiple programming languages right now. So it's great to have as simple API for web client developers as possible.
To some degree this applies to NIP-13 too. Yes, it's a simpler feature; however, still very few web clients properly implemented it (if at all). Just as with the auth using bunker.
I believe both features (auth using bunker and PoW mining) are not worth having in web clients at all; your NIP-07 extension is the perfect place for that. Not just that it's challenging to support the features in every single client, it's also a UX pain for end users (finding the PoW setting in every single client every time, correcting it to what's preferable and possible for the device). Same with auth UI: it's currently overloaded with buttons in Yakihonne, for instance; this is scary for normies and boring for testers.
It's better to have a single thing that works really-really well, in a predictable way, and in all web clients at the same time. I believe both users and web client devs will be happy.
> based on the relay info document
That's what I thought too. But I found NIP-11 unusable/impractical: it requires an additional connection which degrades client performance (ideally it doesn't but browsers do that anyway) or even breaks things (iOS/Safari *might* then close a WebSocket connection because it decided there are too many connections to a single server already), and it's usually misconfigured (CORS issues, wrong or incomplete JSON data). I find that working with NIP-11 is also another testing/maintaining headache, and it just doesn't work in practice.
