I think people don’t want to believe the baby eating part but i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true

I don’t need one, but thanks. You probably noticed that I happened to be with nostr.build and maintaining it 😂🫂🙏🏻

Just got an old miner going in my little knife shed. So far so good, this will keep me warm grinding Cyberita custom knives this winter. 🔥#solomining cyberita.no

GM
A PR got merged today that has been 100% done with local AI (qwen-3.8-flash-next) and nobody complained or even noticed that it was not frontier.
It's a big and active open source project.
I'm pretty impressed by my local setup now.
GM! ☕️☕️☕️

No. Difference being it’s equity not a flat payment. Dividend based on industry performance too.
This avoids the need to print more money.
I’m not planning on monetizing it. If enough people play it I might add a way to support development but otherwise it’ll likely star free.
GM ☕ Cold white stuff at my door this morning. Winter is coming.

Never seen that, tbh. The X ray image just reminded me of Mars Attacks. 🤣

@npub1utx…50e8
Wondering if/how I can view someone's long form articles from their profile in a convenient way on Dark Wisp.
To clarify, although NIP-23 is supported and I can view their articles mixed in with the rest of their notes in roughly chronological order, what I want is a separate tab like on Yakihonne (or even, ahem, Primal).
I'm interested in reading the pieces that people have put a lot of time and effort into, but I want a place where they're all collected separately so I can see immediately if someone has published any and I don't have to go digging for them.
Is this doable? Am I just missing something obvious? Thanks.
UPDATE
its "the exception *probes* the rule"
If the sign says parking is permitted Sunday, you know parking is against the rule the rest of the week.
I will be insufferable about this for the rest of my life

It's not just her, tho. His entire female staff be like that. He surrounds himself with these women and they are his most-trusted advisors.
This is who is _actually_ running the Empire.
Has the USA always live-streamed executions, or is that a new trend? I don't remember that being the case.
They should just set up an arena and give everyone gladiator costumes, if they're gonna lean-into this whole Fall of the Roman Empire schtick.

Well, Ivana had personality. That's why she dumped him and took him to the cleaners. 😁
Meet the new Press Secretary. Same as the old Press Secretary.
That's clearly a book rating, as it has an "m" tag containing "book". That can be viewed on an app that renders all events, indiscriminately, or that renders at least books.
It is not possible to break functionality by adding tags, as clients ignore tags they don't use.
# Why Den Chat Runs on Nostr — Freedom Comes With Responsibility
## The Core Trade-Off
> **Either we rent or self-host a Nostr/Blossom server, or our chatting
> history and/or other things (media, pins, packs, etc.) might randomly
> get wiped.**
This is why I made it so that people's events get published to multiple
public servers — and I've now increased the default from **3 to 6** —
as well as added more robust checking that those servers actually work,
plus periodic checks to inform you if something is wrong with one of
the public servers you might be using.
## The Residual Risk of Public Servers
However, the potential threat of public servers randomly deleting data,
or shutting down, is real — for whatever reason:
- The operator died
- They ran out of money
- They're deleting old data to keep the relay running for new data
- They might just be bad people
That's why this freedom system — the highest level of social online
freedom there is, as far as I'm aware (**Nostr**) — comes with a
**responsibility**: people must make sure their own stuff is properly
well-distributed and backed up (offline, for later re-distribution or
self-hosting).
## "Well, This Sucks" — You're Right, But It's Still the Best Freedom Option
Take any other Discord alternative out there, one that's open source,
with either a hosted option alongside self-hosting, or self-hosting only.
As a new user, how would their experience be?
### Option 1: The hosted "freedom" alternative
They join, make a community space on the company's servers, and land
right back into the same core issues with Discord:
- The host can **modify or delete** your account, messages, or community
spaces without your permission
- They can **spy on your conversations** (unless there's encryption AND
it's open source)
- They can **coerce you** into providing personal/legal information —
or anything else — under threat of restricting or suspending your account
- If they go **bankrupt or shut down**, everyone's accounts, spaces, and
chats go with them
### Option 2: The self-hosting route
The user must first figure out how to set everything up and spend time
doing it — **all before they can do anything** — and only then invite
friends and start chatting.
For people who just want to *join* spaces without creating one: they can
make an account on your self-host/site and join in. But:
- They're under **your centralized authority**, facing the same potential
core issues from Option 1
- Plus a new problem: they need to **register on another friend's
self-host/site** and log in — a constant, never-ending run of
registering and logging in/out just to talk with different
friends/communities
## Now Look at Den Chat
1. Click a button to make an account (installed version)
2. Click another button to make a hub
3. Invite friends — you're chatting within the first 5 minutes
(maybe less if someone wants to speedrun it)
- **No self-hosting required** to make a space/hub
- **One account everywhere** — anyone who makes a hub means you never
have to create a new account and log in/out repeatedly to talk with
different friends
- **No account deletion** — the creators of Den Chat, nor the owners of
self-hosted Nostr relays/Blossom servers, can delete people's accounts
- **No coercion** — nobody can force people to hand over private/legal
info under threat of account restriction or suspension
- **No eavesdropping** — nobody can listen in on private conversations,
because it's open source and encrypted
- **No kill switch** — if the creators of Den Chat shut down as a company
(hypothetically — there isn't one) or abandon the project and turn off
their own servers, people's accounts still exist: they can still post,
see their hubs and messages, and the app/client still works.
Everything remains operational
### The Only Downside
If a hub owner wants a **guarantee** that their hub's messages continue
to exist, then they — or even other members; it doesn't have to be the
creator/owner of the hub — need to guarantee that themselves by **running
their own Nostr relay/Blossom server** for their hubs.
---
**TL;DR:** This is the value of Den Chat that no other non-Nostr Discord
alternative provides (as far as I know) in the market right now.

Katie Zacharia, Trump's new press secretary, looks exactly how you'd think she'd look. 😂 There must be a factory, somewhere, where they churn these Barbies out.
Remember when everyone complained about Biden hiring people who were "too diverse"? Well, welcome to Opposite Land USA, where Trump just does the most ridiculous about-face possible.
She’s a little too doomer for my taste
Its the perfect anytime snack! And WOW does it smell good while it’s cooking in the crock pot - makes the whole house smell like a bakery
It's so mid that you can neither love it nor hate it. So it stuck.
"Faithful to the intended utterance" means that a translation, transcription, or interpretation accurately captures exactly what a speaker or writer meant to communicate.
Instead of just translating word-for-word, a "faithful" rendering preserves the core meaning, tone, and nuances of the original thought.
## Key Aspects of a Faithful Utterance
* Intent over Literalism: It prioritizes the speaker's actual goal or message, even if the grammatical structure or specific words must change to make sense in another language or context.
* Preserving Nuance: It maintains the emotional weight, politeness levels, humor, or cultural context of the original statement.
* Contextual Accuracy: It avoids inserting outside interpretations, ensuring the final output does not alter, exaggerate, or minimize the speaker's true point.
## Common Contexts
* Translation & Interpretation: Ensuring an idiom in Language A is replaced with an equivalent idiom in Language B so the listener understands the exact same concept.
* Speech Recognition & AI: Evaluating whether a voice-to-text system accurately captured a user's spoken command or intent rather than just guessing phonetically.
* Legal or Medical Transcription: Documenting a patient's or witness's statements in a way that perfectly preserves their intended meaning without misconstruing their words.
If you are working on a specific text or project, let me know:
* Are you looking at this from a linguistic, translation, or AI/technology perspective?
* Do you need help making a specific phrase more faithful to its original meaning?
I can provide tailored examples based on what you are working on.
the reposts will continue until the first month's server bills are covered 🥲
#nevent1q…e5x5
i use vim, thank you very much (😆). but really
I think every major AI company, espeically if it goes public, should set aside a significant portion of its equity base for the public. The people whose data was used to train these models should have equity in these companies. They can sell down that equity if they need to. This avoids the problem of having to afford UBI, which we know won't work anyway. Equity-based stakes make more sense.
That's gonna be yodl after the movie
