Years of old content already exists. At this point, it is set in stone.

On large closed models the FT possibilities are limited too.
These black boxes annoy me to no end, and there is little price competition.
They work good as teacher models for synthetic data, but even then I still use the -mini versions...

attack surface *really* depends on the app, and usually people make it out to be way larger than it actually is normally

oh well, a bunch of the top people at Qwen got replaced. ugh
we need a lot more innovation on open source *small* foundation models, as they will be what enable a lot of use cases, not your huge 1T parameter chatbot

in general do not quote unless:
1. you have something actually useful to add
2. are branching in another direction
3. want to make a more "fat" renote

Would it not be possible to also do an app setting? I don’t want to see HDR in Damus but want to in other places.

unrelated but I wouldn’t trust this site for too much technical details since it says his wallet was hacked *due to his pgp key*
it wasn’t, it was even worse: both on the same system for some reason??

My definition of bot spam is any bot that doesn’t follow these guidelines:
1. Don’t create more noise than necessary.
2. Do not interact unless explicitly authorized (such as by following WITH the user knowing, or explciitly tagged)
3. Minimize interaction scope if possible (untag irrelevant pubkeys)
4. Mark yourself as a bot and specify a human contact.

I see all this vibe coding stuff going around on Nostr and yet there have been no new clients that weren’t slow asf or have horrible UX.

oh, I am not the only one that thinks this?

Clients can honor kind 5 deletions but they don’t.
It’s sloppiness from clients and an intentional disrespect of user privacy, not DRM.

2026-02-24 18:19:24 CET

Why are devs so resistant to adding features to give users back control of their data?
This is one of the main things that annoys me, and that I am working on with the NFDB rewrite.
"You own your data" has become "Everyone owns your data, forever"

I will implement this when implementing new deletion features for new NFDB version. Thanks for the idea, unfortunate to see people do not want this.

I should also say that writes to 1 relay can fail. So, outbox algorithm should read from multiple of users’ inboxes.

It’s operated at a loss and is only propped up by grant orgs and ~5 selfless operators, really.

WoT is quite an unreliable metric, so it would need to be a custom “trusts this person” kind (follow != endorsement)
even then, risks like compromised nsecs (see Shai-Hulud worm), actors building up reputation with skills with hidden backdoors, etc.
and there will always be new devs making new skills, and so people will regularly disable the filter anyway
nostr doesn’t win by slapping WoT onto a context that is even less applicable to it.
it does by providing more tools to users and developers, for example automated malware scanners

how does nostr fix the malware problem, again?

You should ignore the name field. too many assumptions are made about “name” compared to display name.

2026-02-19 18:43:26 CET

- reply

Display name should take priority, then.

2026-02-19 18:05:07 CET

- reply

I think display name is for the main name, “name” is supposed to be for mentions.
I would say “name” should be used for mentions, but NIP-05 should override that maybe with a special color to indicate it is that.

at nostr plebs we don’t because it’s *huge*
plus for both, it requires a full table scan which I do not want to expose as an endpoint
