I'd long decided that my next car would be whatever works with comma.AI. It's insane to me how shit the self driving capabilities on most new cars are.
Honda can't make a turn more than 10° of your steering wheel. It constantly will lose track of the lines and disable steering completely. How is this better than taking a best guess? It's not like its even able to yank the wheel more than a slight turn. It will nag you for not touching the wheel, then if you ignore it it will disable lane keep. It won't touch cruise control though. So if you fell asleep at the wheel while on CC + lane keep, it will keep you going full speed off the road and into a barrier.
GM is genuinely a scam and worse than not having it. A couple years back I rented a pacifica and the lanekeep genuinely doesn't steer. At all. It is enabled, and it shows the lane detected, but it never moved the wheel an inch in hours of trying. Then on a 2206 model it somehow got even worse. Lane keep will jerk the car back into lane, but no jerk back or centering so the car will just ping pong right to left in lane, worse every time until it can't turn enough and you fly out the lane. These people are genuinely evil for selling cars with this.

The $20 plan is for the masses that will never use close to the limit. That's essentially the passive income version. The only way your going past that is if you are doing code or design, or some form of higher level workflow, at which point you are presumably making money off the ai. That's when they api bill you, because you are their main customer who treats them as a cost of business to account for. To be honest, I'm surprised they even offer the Max plans at all. The gap between pro and max seems entirely to be small businesses/professionals rather than normies.

To all the codemonkeys out there hopeless about their job prospects:
Before I got a claude subscription I spent 0 hours a week coding. I knew how to code, I never had enough time to actually build what I was planning on building and kept putting stuff off as they were ancillary at best to my main revenue source.
After getting a Claude subscription I spend 10+ hours a week "coding".
Every small and medium business is thinking the same thing. You have 20x as many potential customers as a freelance developer, you just have to charge 1/10 the price, but if you are efficient, you can still make more money than before since you are way faster.
Even if your a W-2pilled matrix slave, these opportunities will trickle down to you, as long as you are willing to broaden your job description and make yourself useful in more ways. Companies will no longer have an IT team and pay some company for a website. Every small IT dept will require coding knowledge and you will develop the companies webstlite and mobile app.
It will be like knowing a foreign language. Useful differentiator in any position, but not strictly its own job in most companies.

Malicious compliance tech idea:
Relay software where you can remove something from your relay while broadcasting that event to a million other known relays. So that if a relay runner ever gets a legal notice that they don't wanna deal with, they delete it but in doing so spread that note so far and wide that it's impossible to censor it, causing a Streisand effect.

You can always fake zaps by just paying someone to zap you. Proving that someone really sent you money is not solving anything. What are you even solving by putting it on chain?
I can spin up npubs and zap myself on chain, paying only the TX fee. So you still have to WoT the zaps, same as you are with private LN payments.

Specifically the combo of onchain zaps and amber removal from 2 top clients this week is some insanely bad timing.

Login with Google isn't the problem, amber removal is.
Really brave step to tell all your existing users to fuck off. Theres a lot of people who are on nostr and learned enough to use amber but they still want a nice and clean client that Just Works™. To have amber support just to remove later, they feel like you just used them to beta test the app and now you're throwing them away.
I support you in your mission. I even like this fake Google login. Idk if removing amber genuinely made the DX any better, or if you intentionally did it to filter out the autistic nostr users from trying to alter the development roadmap, but either way, I am principally against complaining to someone who doesn't care about your opinion. The complainers feel a lot like immigrants protesting ICE. I hope you didn't receive this comment that way.

Expensive fees = "bitcoin will die, its unusable as cash"
Cheap fees = bitcoin is dead, no one is using it as cash"
Its not that big of a deal. All of the high fee times historically were caused by moving on, off and between exchanges or "defi". Day traders buying on coinbase and sending it to FTX to gamble on shitcoins. There was never an actual bitcoin circular economy using blockspace enough to cause a noticable increase in fees. That's mostly dead now, and even a ton of the inter and intra-exchange bitcoin moves are down because of ETFs where no bitcoin ever changes hands. Even if a billion $ worth of bitcoin gets sold on grayscale and bought on blackrock, it will not result in a single on chain TX because both custody it at coinbase.
I'd be willing to bet the actual bitcoin economy (excluding drugs) is as big as it ever was, but a lot of the real ass bitcoiners shifted largely to lightning (in terms of number of TXs, even if not in total volume). Just take all the people on nostr for example. We've all sent more zaps than total onchain transactions in all the years before nostr.
The whole point of small blockers and lightning was that 1mb would be enough for a shit ton more traffic by moving most of it off chain. We've seen exactly that.

Most if not all public relays are hosted on rented servers. Scaling will not be a problem. They might lower write limits to limit cost, but kind 1 and 0 events will be unaffected since they take up virtually no space. The first to fall will be the free media hosts like nostr.build but this will honestly be good imo because it will result in a relative increase in attention to all the people who pay for hosting or host themselves. It will mean that the million new kids won't completely take over the space, but they will be subject to the influence of the based MFs here that host their own shit.

I believe amethyst and many other clients actually just run a local relay. They hold a local database of posts, and all read requests are first synced to the local database. Then when you publish a note, it gets sent to the local relay like all the others, that's why it shows up in your feed immediately.
This is a much better architecture IMO than not having it, since often times you will switch between screens while trying to show a lot of the same notes, and you don't have to re-request the same notes, or hard code the logic to pass notes up and down your app like a monkey.
There are many different use cases that you can add to your app very easily with this architecture that would be a code nightmare to add without it.
It does have the effect of an optimistic ui update, which is a good thing imo, and you can just do the upload confirmation modal that yakihonne does to avoid the situation Yusuf is facing where you think it worked when it didn't.

I'm not saying we will specifically return to a system of only eye witness testimony. I'm saying that the age of self-authenticating evidence is over. Until recently, a video or audio recording was considered authentic on its own. It was an absolute source of truth, accepted prima facie.
This era is coming to an end. When we can generate any form of fake evidence, we will have to rely on reputation of humans. If you want to convict someone, a video will no longer be sufficient. You will need someone to testify that the video is authentic. And this testimony will be considered of the same class as a testimony from someone else claiming an alibi. Even with a video, that will only be counted as a single witness. If you have a personal recording that acquits you of the crime, it will be thrown out as evidence.

2026-04-30 01:02:54 UTC

The Islamic justice system relies mainly on witness testimony as evidence. It makes no mention of self-authenticating evidence such as video or audio recordings (evidence where the mere existence of it is enough to take for granted it's legitimacy).
Its long been an argument that video evidence leaves this justice system obsolete and insufficient for the modern world.
Now we are looking at the end of this. With AI generated video, audio, and any other type of sensor data which would previously be evidence on its own, we are quickly going back to the testimony and reputation framework that Islamic law teaches us how to contend with.
In the long arc of history, this form of self-authenticating evidence will be seen as a short, century long blip. A moment of delay between the ability to record, and manufacture certain types of data.

My prediction is it won't overtake android but it'll be too big to ignore (multiple % market share) and force android to take android closed source. This causes forces graphene and lineage and whatever remaining open source OS'es there are to band together and fork off that latest android version. The real question is whether Google then makes a breaking change to android so play store apks no longer work without them.

Turkey is completely cooked. The mere concept of civil liberties has completely been rooted out of the culture. 99% of the population genuinely has no desire whatsoever for any level of freedom for freedoms sake. You can make an argument to ban literally anything with the flimsiest argument and they would accept it if they themselves aren't impacted.
I've been called crazy because I suggested that bakers should be able to set their bread prices. In Turkey, bread has a maximum price (which is actually the default price because no one sells below it). When they inflated the currency, they decreased the standard loaf size instead of increasing the price and it became a political controversy because they see the government directly shrinkflating. The crazy part is, not one thought by anyone about why is the government setting the price of bread.
This country is completely cooked. There is no political cost whatever to authoritarianism. The slogan of every grassroots political movement is "why isn't the government doing anything about ___". The last election, every opposition candidate talks about the new agencies they will create. There is not a single politician that uses government overreach as a criticism against the current regime. The country is every day becoming more and more of a totalitarian hellhole and everyone on every side is completely in favor of the trajectory.

A user signs an event that they made a mistake and wants to change something about their post. I would rather see their edit.
It doesn't go against cryptographic verifiability. If they try to maliciously change the content, that's easy to call out since you still have the original signed event.
Deleting doesn't exist either technically. But it's still better UX for relay operators to delete posts that the user wants gone. And most do. It doesn't unsign the event. Anyone who has a copy can still spread that around, but it's just a basic courtesy to delete something that they want gone. Same goes for edits.

It would not help most of the newcomers complaining about engagement though, because most of them would be indifferentiable from an LLM output.
The age of fully online discoverability is over for all but the most talented accounts (across any medium; short form, long articles, podcasts, videos etc.).
Ideas like yours a decent way to promote the underrated accounts (and imo better than the tiktok model which is first filtering out most AI accounts with VPN IP filtering, then showing new accounts videos to 1000 people to gauge engagement metrics), but it does nothing for the actual 90+% of new users (who aren't capable of spewing signal by the minute), who drop off because they never found a community to keep them engaged with idle banter.
Imo for this we need a fedi style system with onboarding onto community relays. Whatever niche you start engaging with nostr through, you will start off posting to their relay. For example, if there is a community of bronies on nostr, someone will start a mlp relay as a home base to host the new users who join nostr through their community.
And here is the killer feature that would make this model work with no other changes: clients should look at your outbox relays and automatically determine the niche relays you're a part of, and put posts from it into your home feed. Less priority than your follows, but it should be woven in to keep the feed looking full.

War names are assigned from a reference point, not objectively. The original author seems to have missed this.

Likely negative effect on price in the short term as most bitcoin will be instantly converted to fiat. Still a win for freedom though.

Wars are named from the perspective of the people naming them. Vietnamese don't call it the vietnam war.

I mean sure, but you'd need a stupid number of tiers to achieve the same effect

AWS for example, everything is metered. You pay for how much you store, how many CPU cycles you use, how much it gets accessed etc.
All the paid media hosts I've seen for nostr charge a flat fee per month, which means your seriously overpaying until you get close to maxing out the plan you're on.
What I'm talking about would have some pricing like:
3¢/gb/month storage + 1¢/10,000 requests
(Based off S3 pricing + healthy profit margin)
In this model, I'd think nothing of signing up as my monthly cost will be negligible at first. My first month I might have 200mb of images that get seen by 100 people, leading to a 10 sat bill the first month.
This will only grow over time as you upload more images and videos, but by then, you will have more media and much higher value actually provided by the service to you. Meanwhile nostr.build wants $1.50 a month right off the bat. This isn't much, but when your a new user, you are not gonna pay $1.50 to host a single picture. The pay as you go model is feasible to be fully zap funded, which would make onboarding immensely easy.

Is there any paid blossom server that charges based on usage with a proper nostr login web interface to manage and see all the media and how much each is costing you, with DM alerts when usage spikes or balance running low? Because this is what we need right now. No one wants to start paying a fixed monthly fee before they have any media to pay to host. Even if it is more expensive with high usage, the pay as you go approach will charge those higher amounts only after the user has a ton of data they are paying to host.
