I think my accuracy is over 90% at this point on https://www.whichfaceisreal.com/
The obvious giveaways for the AI image generator they used are the weird swirls, fuzzy teeth, simple or kaleidoscope backgrounds, messed up people in the background, and inability to show shiny skin.
I kind of want to remake this now with a better image generator.

2024-08-31 00:54:58

My profile pic now seems like a relic of the bad old days of image generation. The misshapen letters, the not-quite-convincing-hands, and the odd hoodie color all speak to a simpler time.
I should probably figure out how to get Flux running on my laptop and upgrade.

I would guess there’s a very low probability that Apple purchases OpenAI. While ChatGPT is still relatively popular OpenAI no longer reigns supreme on the benchmarks. GPT4o was their last model with the “dream team” of AI engineers. I’m not sure they can continue to pump out top of the line models anymore.

2024-08-31 00:38:38

I’m still keeping a close eye on OpenAI because I’m fascinated to see if the company can stay at the top after losing its star engineers.

Question for Linux users out there. I really want to switch from a Mac to a Framework laptop so I can dual boot Linux and Windows. I’ve found software replacements for all my Mac-only stuff except one thing. How can I still use iCloud on Linux?
And yes, while switching to Dropbox or something else might be easier unfortunately that’s not an option.

@npub1xts…kk5s, could I try and bring https://github.com/damus-io/damus/pull/172/ up to date (probably as a new pull request) so that Damus sends messages with PoW automatically? I know you said that you think Lightning is a better filter, but every single person sending notes on Nostr can calculate PoW since they obviously already have a computer whereas the same is not true for Lightning. If Damus leads the charge on this and if we can get @npub1gcx…nj5z on board we could make PoW default on notes which could almost completely solve the spam problem.

It’s a social network (I know, I know, it can be so much more but stick with social media at first) that doesn’t have a petty tyrant at the top deciding what is and isn’t allowed. Post what you want and hang out with people.

If you were going to build a new client from the ground up, what would be the essential features? I’ll start:

The tldr; is Will wants to write a fast Nostr client that runs in a browser.
@npub1xts…kk5s wants to write an app in Rust (which often surpasses C++ in speed but without as many ways to shoot yourself in the foot) to WASM instead of native machine code for a certain CPU. WASM can be executed by web browsers at speeds that are starting to approach native speeds and are certainly much faster than JavaScript.

There a some moments programming you look back on with shame. Perhaps my worst moment was when I started learning programming and didn’t know how to extract a value from a tuple in Python so I cast it to a string and used Regex to extract the integer.

I have no desire to and take no enjoyment in controlling your property. You can of course do whatever you want with your property inside the bounds of your rights. But if you do something like deleting or modifying notes based off your personal opinion the wonderful thing about private property is that I can take my property elsewhere. I kindly request that you keep your relay as dumb as possible in terms of filtering but that is the limit of the coercion I hope to ever use.

2023-06-15 20:55:02

💯. If there is any censorship being done I want to be the one choosing how exactly it works. Put the power in the hands of the user. Let each individual decide what notes they want to see and how they view them. #note18w3…4ey9

When you stop to think about Apple’s rules it makes literally no sense. If someone else posts an invoice from their lightning wallet and you tap that to pay it in your lightning wallet that’s literally a request from your Nostr client to a lightning wallet. If however you tap a lightning symbol and it sends a request to your wallet that is somehow different?

Those are definitely wallets not users. The receipt event is sent from the pubkey of the LN wallet. What I’m talking about are the tags in the receipt event. In the NIP Appendix E it has this bullet point:
> - tags MUST include the p tag AND optional e tag from the zap request
I think the tags contain the pubkey of the person who requested the invoice. The p tag in the event is the pubkey you’re looking for.
