gpt-4 API is available for all (has been for weeks now). Using the API is substantially cheaper than the web ui, though I dunno if the web ui has some bonus features still. Casual use via API costs me about $1/mo

Rather than NIP-07, I think each client should get its own derived key and that key would be sent & stored server side. Then you could just have regular login flows. Trust would be needed but as the xpriv holder you should be able to invalidate keys.
In short, the current signing system sucks, it's not nearly user friendly enough.

Torrent tracker RARBG was closed. I don't know if there's a shortage of torrent trackers, but running a tracker on nostr might be an opening. I think it may be illegal in a lot of places, though. At least I assume so, because there's no big time fediverse torrent tracker.

2023-05-31 11:21:02

The newest move(?) by Twitter crypto scammers, of making a fake trader twitter account and then adding bots to praise that account, is a smart move, because it makes it difficult to ban the fake trader account, since it could be real, and so they don't lose the botting investment.

Nutritional science is so biased toward meat eaters... On a plant based diet, it's so difficult to know what to believe.
I cannot tell if high protein is bad for longevity on a vegan diet, or not. Some studies say it's bad for carnies, but is that because they reduce meat consumption, or is it really the protein? And is there a difference between plant and animal protein there? I assume GPT10 will be able to answer these for me

yep, content quality on bsky is likely high exactly because of restricted access.
It still gets a lot of posts, however. So in that way it seems to be doing very well. And gatekeeping access _could_ be thought of as a feature, even on an otherwise decentralized platform (which it isn't atm, though).

Bluesky vs nostr streams: https://bluesky-vs-nostr.vercel.app/
Bluesky looks like a winner to me, at the moment. Adding more and more relays has the downside of introducing more spam content.

What I did on the firenostr app could work. In essence, relays are like servers on discord, except that you may toggle multiple on at any given time.
* People already know how a sidebar works in this setting, based on discord/telegram.
* You can quickly toggle relays on/off

With next13/react18 server components, Lighthouse is now deprecated, that web app I just posted ( https://firenostr.vercel.app/ ) scores 100/100. Never even seen 100 before, what magic is this.

Is there a thing like this for nostr? https://firesky.tv/
Essentially a very basic streaming global view. I want to compare, to get an idea of how many ppl actually post on nostr. At least my global view is just littered with garbage, my guess is that there's less than 200 users on nostr at any given time, excluding the "GM/PV/GN" people

Someone had the idea of having multiple accounts bound to a single xpub, so one could have an channel for posting different types of content into each account, e.g. one for work related and another for nonsense.
I guess I should've generated my pubkey from an xpriv and then posted the xpub on my bio. Too late for existing keys? #rekt

Is the fashion industry is gonna get rekt by AI? Clothes on AI generated people often look good and in very unexpected ways; they're like today's clothes but clearly distinct.
However, maybe fashion is and has always been limited by the means of production & cost, rather than design. Anyway, I really enjoy seeing the variety.

Every time something new for social media is made, every web ui gets rebuilt.
- twitter clones
- discord/telegram clones
- you name it
Would be nice if separating the network stack from the rest of the app was standard behavior, but that never seems relevant during development.

From what I gather, publishing to certain relays will propagate the event to multiple relays that I never published to myself. I'm not crazy and my stuff's not bugged, right?

2023-04-25 22:33:25

I think nostr's best chance should be targeting the Chinese audience. Would need to focus on the censorship aspect more. Perhaps this is just a hopeless pipe dream, however.

Negative/down votes... forgot those exist.
Problem with likes is spam. I don't see it ending well. Maybe the lightning UX has possibilities for improvement, e.g. sign a message and send to the server...I assume there's some method of delegating those.

I tried your ranking on my own profile with the "view as" ticked. I did see some interesting posts from the ppl I follow then.
My feedback is that I'd still like to see my own posts even in the "view as" list. That gives me a gut feeling of when the posts I see were posted.

> fast retrieval
This is best done with a dedicated backend. Fetching from a dozen nodes on client-side is poor ux. Backend has to persist events and server side render everything. Anything less than that is a 2017 web app.
> good ranking
Yes I agree with this. I assume that's a tough cookie to crack. Hoping you can do it 🛐

2023-04-22 00:27:35

Reactions (likes) should get tossed. Instead, a frontend+backend should be made where users get access 1 sat per day to spend on zaps, stacking up to 10.
A frontend with a custodial lightning node married to it is just waiting to happen, no?
Or are lightning tx fees too hefty for that? How much does a 1sat zap go for?

It's a feeling I have today, not based on any real research.
But now that you put me on the spot, I can offer some weak reasons:
There is a lack of incentive for the casual user to use nostr over whatever else. Censorship resistance isn't smtn ppl care about. The greatest asset nostr has is that it can house many different types apps. E.g. twitter + blog + git patches + anything really. That adds a social aspect to any app, which is valuable.
However, developing on nostr is too difficult. There is too much burden on the developers. Things break often. Would not be a problem in the long term, as stuff gets fixed for good (in libraries), but this isn't going to be race of long term.

2023-04-21 16:14:13

I find the websockets make development more difficult. I send an event and then have to listen for a matching OK event? With a http request I send and get a response.
That isn't to say one couldn't make a relay with a HTTP api, however. At least primal.net dev is trying.

Apparently langchain+llama.cpp can make a locally trained chatgpt interface for...things. The langchain example shows how they train it on the declaration of independence and then ask it questions about it, and it works. That example is on openai, but llama.cpp produces similar results.
There definitely is a need for that over NIPs. Among other things, of course.

It would be good manners for client developers to include a link to the source code somewhere prevalent? So far none I've seen have done so? why

2023-04-17 12:57:11

I think the `like` button on nostr is 100% doomed. It'll just get spam botted to oblivion, and it's way more effort to combat that. Zaps make more sense.

hmm, first impressions: it needs back buttons sprinkled around. I don't know why, but pressing browser back button here makes me feel like the app is gonna full reload, even though it probably isn't.

> If you are not working with the browser, you can ignore that nip just like I would ignore other nips that
In theory yes, but in reality how do you know that before you at least glanced at it? And there's so many of these NIPs already that it takes a toll. It isn't scalable at the moment.
I personally feel a big mental strain just looking at the nips repo: wouldn't want to invest time into that. How many people actually know what's going on in the big picture?
Mostly I just install a library and hope the doc comments tell me what I need.
Which brings me to my point: I think the rule for acceptance should be "implement a library (or add functionality to existing) to deal with the NIP". Then I wouldn't have to care to read any NIPs.

2023-04-15 00:07:41

I made this: https://github.com/npub1zenn0/go-git-nostr
I think it ticks all the boxes.

2023-04-11 19:18:12

After some time developing on nostr, "simple protocol" makes development a real pain. Nostr isn't picking up steam anytime soon. Less devs => worse UX => slow death.
There is a need for good frameworks/programming libraries, but from the experience of Ethereum web3, I can confidently state that no breakthrough libraries are on the horizon.
I'm thinking that NIPs should be gatekept by introducing libraries to deal with said NIP first.
