hashtags are probably the best discovery mechanism here but also they look so cheesy, maybe it's just a weird personal holdup but i resent using them 😀
could we have tags for indexing as a seperate thing ? (i guess it's stricly possible to add "t" tags independently of the content)

is there a machine readable version of the nostr kinds and tags tables somewhere ? (or something similar that also includes non-standardized ones)
(yes, i could parse the tables in https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/README.md but it seems a sort of common thing to need)

there's also the overpopulation issue if people don't die and all stay here
Linda Nagata, in her sci-fi books, had one solution for these kind of societal issues that arise from (pseudo-)immortality: if you choose to do the radical life-extending treatment, that's fine, but you're no longer allowed to live on Earth, you'll have to live somewhere else

both are useful
the block hash proves knowledge of some information that couldn't have been available before (same as using a newspaper headline, for example), so it puts a >= bound on the timestamp
OTS stamping can be used to prove that information already existed at a certain time (by putting it in a merkle tree that will be published in a block), so puts a <= bound on the timestamp
together these can "box in" the timestamp of the event

humans also (obviously) make mistakes, but that's not really what i mean here
what LLMs tend to do is make something up that sounds convincing, hallucinate an extra API call, or specific properties/guarantees, when it doesn't know, even make up fake authorative-sounding references and http links
a human will usually not descend into that level of bullshitting !
and if they do, you'd be right to see them as untrustworthy and hold them responsible, can't do that to LLM companies as you can be sure they've covered that in the fine print

impressive, yes
but also limited for real-world use cases, for example the issues with hallucination make it absolutely terrible for technical documentation or critical software projects
like sure you can write software faster with a LLM, but then someone has to maintain it and fix the bugs 😅
a lot of impressive examples in papers and such, are cherry-picked from a lot of slop
remember the hype about self-driving cars? there seemed to be a lot of progress in a short time, then it just stopped: driving a vehicle in the real world conditions is much more involved than expected

yes the scale is very large this time
but this in itself doesn't have to mean much, it has to be seen how useful throwing so much data in a brute force learning algorithm is, i think we're already seeing diminishing returns
i don't buy the acceleration story

otoh, hard line breaks add some 1980s nostalgia theme right there 😀

something that is hard to get right in social media (especially decentralized) is this kind of context nuance
not everything is necessarily meant to be published forever, if you only focus on censorship resistance and archival then you lose the more intimate personal sphere, and a lot of people just won't use your system

just a.kid with too much time on their hand probably, they do it exactly because it's easy to do and causes a lot of annoyance, was the same with IRC in the 90's

in a way, the entire field of anti-virus software is testament to just how difficult software is to censor 😅

remember Google removing their "don't be evil" commitment , that was quite the rug pull

why is that such a big thing on the modern internet anyway
i mean some are, some are not, it's just messed up when whatever else you've done you're still being mainly valued (or seen as worthless) based on how conventionally physically attractive you are

nostr.build uses a custom protocol (neither blossom nor NIP-96), don't know about the other one

2024-08-29 09:59:09

agree!
it makes it quick to pick some common ones, then has a full search/selection widget behind "..."
that one would be very good to have
(i don't know much about front-end dev these days though so no idea how it transfers over)

also ideally you'd want it to have a reproducible build process, so you can verify that what's in the source is what you get

thanks for the suggestions everyone !
so many choices... which is good, i suppose 😀

i have no idea what i did here, apparently it was a "recommend relay" button 😅

nostrudel truly is the kitchen sink of web nostr clients, its feature set is impressive

i'll do some further debugging then

just now browsing https://nostr.watch/, i don't think i realized just how many relays there are 🤯

the paranoid part of me insists that the spurious notification indications mean that people are secretly quoting my posts in private and talking about them 😂

can't say the idea of a new alien movie makes me very enthusiastic, i mean i absolutely love the 80's movies but it feels so formulaic and derivative now, anyhow i guess i'll probably see it at some point

yea, delete being flaky was one of the first things i've noticed here, it definitely makes me more hesitant to post
