Last Notes npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod It's an interesting tradeoff npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I fully believe it, that movie must have been so expensive to make npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Just watched Redline. What a wild movie. Thanks to @nprofile…6rfd iirc for another great anime recommendation. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Coracle renders custom emoji but doesn't have a way to add them to notes npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Bolting is tragic npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Sorry for the slow reply, I had surgery yesterday 😅 From your previous note it sounds like welshman isn't authenticating, you'll want to run: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Good questions to which I don't have the answers. The simplest thing would be to use a separate relay, since zooid enforces relay membership. If you used it for signing it could create chicken/egg scenarios where you couldn't sign AUTH events to prove you are a member of tge relay. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod If you don't take a vacation, eventually a vacation will take you npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod This is clever, going to try it with flotilla when I get a chance npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Just had surgery for a 3-4 cm diameter abscess in my neck. So that's how my Thursday has been. Appreciate any prayers that they got everything and it wouldn't recur. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Genesis 9:2–3 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The reason it works with card numbers is that they're just opaque identifiers interpreted by a machine. Private keys have to be held to be used, and aren't passed around directly and so can't be linked by the non-existent server. By definition something that can directly create valid signatures on behalf of another key is that key. Keys are cool and weird. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Guys, stop commenting on this, it's been 2 years. Primal is good and @nprofile…xka5 is a nice person npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod That's what a bunker is npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod A bluesky-integrated github alternative is getting some attention on hackernews. Upvote my comment mentioning ngit: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Anyone have opinions about Jolla? I never heard of them until today. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod It's because the LLM gamed the benchmarks and wrote an empty function body npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod lol npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod This is a pretty good heuristic. I put reference stuff very low, and books that I want my kids to pick up when they're bored on the second shelf from the bottom. Other than that, I try to organize by topic: theology, literature, technology, etc. But my shelves are a disaster at the moment. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Mastodon minus identity, minus client. It's significantly less centralized/controlled npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Honestly think that probably would have been a better choice npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod You guys are going to get me in trouble 😂 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The QR in QR Code stands for "quantum resistant" npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Got it, sounds like everything is working as designed but there are some documentation gaps. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Here I am, and I see your PR on zooid but I haven't had a chance to look yet. Happy to take any other contributions/answer any questions npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Sure! npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, flotilla doesn't connect to relays without ssl. This is a long standing bug deep in the stack. Use ngrok or a self signed cert or something if you can npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Nostr is a bubble of cutting edge tech. I just talked to some people working at my former employer and mentioned agent factories in passing. They had never even heard of them. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Reminds me of Richard Heart npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Pasting keys is poor security hygeine, so we don't support it. Try Amber if on android, Aegis on ios, or a nostr browser extension on web npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, I appreciate you bringing that to my attention, I was believing the hype. Never believe the hype npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Is there even that much content on nostr npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod A lot of people think they are using AI in a meaningful way npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Doing it well takes an incredible amount of discipline. Writing code is easy because it keeps your mental model in sync with the product. Agentic coding is hard because you have to deliberately slow down to maintain your mental model, when the entire reason you're using the tool is to speed up. I haven't been able to strike that balance myself yet. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Flotilla 1.7.3 (and 1.7.4) is out — this one is mostly quality of life improvements (with the addition of polls). npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Thanks for the reminder, used it today to look up a note by @nprofile…8yl7 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Literally overhearing some college students telling each other about it right now npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod And we wouldn't want them to be npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I present to you... Claude Opus 4.7 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I can't remember why it was bad. I think part of it had to do with the fact that nostr.build optimizes images itself and he wanted clients to use those directly so that they didn't have to serve the full sized file over and over. But caching on the proxy's side should improve that, and clients don't know to download the smaller files anyway. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I vibes this, works for my purposes: https://highlights.shakespeare.wtf/ npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Flotilla does this npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod This has also been my experience npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod No, I haven't found a lot of good harnesses. Which is why I was looking for something like this. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod yeah, me neither npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod It's good at parallelizing sub-agents with well-defined prompts and context boundaries. It makes it possible to use the research -> plan -> implement flow without filling up your context. I haven't written any custom flows yet, I just use archon's built-ins with custom skills. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod A week, can't say how reliable yet. I think it's good at what it does, but that reveals other unsolved problems (building new code is much easier, maintenance I haven't cracked, hence my snarky tweet) npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The boring parts are inextricably tied up with the interesting parts npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Unfortunately I'm still stuck on a computer npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod https://github.com/coleam00/Archon npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I hope so npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Archon is incredible. It has 10x'd my output, which means I can now one shot 100k LOC instead of only 10k LOC before throwing it away npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I miss writing code npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Just got my local smoke shop to enable bitcoin payments npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I think a tag for this kind of thing (like `-` and `expires`) would be the right way to generalize, but as far as I know this kind of thing is only one-offs so far npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod This is probably the correct answer npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Regards are my favorite leftovers npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod What does this mean? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Phlegmonade npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod No, much npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Mich* npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I like this,uch better name npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, see https://github.com/coracle-social/pomade. Everything is implemented in flotilla for reference. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I resemble that remark npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Hackernews doesn't like it when I tell them nostr is decentralized and bluesky is not npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Is there an existing implementation of NIP 29 roles or is it just dead spec? @nprofile…ptmr @nprofile…z8s8 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod And you were right all along. Allowed kinds might be worth adding, although nostr event kinds have different purposes sometimes and it mght get confusing or restrict utility behavior npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2310 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Ok, I've been letting this simmer, and I am going to switch to only rendering kind 9 in chat. When publishing a calendar event (for example), I'll h tag it, then create a kind 9 even which q tags the calendar event and send that to the room as well. When fetching content, I will only fetch kind 9s and show other content as embedded cards. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Thanks, that was what I was looking for! Although when I query your relay I get this: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod More just trying to improve performance in flotilla right now. If it means I have to accept something slightly more centralized/suboptimal, that's ok for now. But long-term, I want decentralized + personalized with global fallback in case of insufficient data. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I discovered this weekend that I am part Welsh, which is a great source of joy to me npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod So how do I use this as a client developer? Do users have to calculate their scores in advance, or can they be auto-generated? How many events do I have to download? How long does it take to do it on demand? Can I calculate scores for a single target pubkey? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'm the first person to advocate for the idea that "there is no global". Giving users context asap is important for powering all kinds of recommendations — which is why I have invite links with built in follows/communities, and why I think communities are a great starting point. So ideally, search should take all this into account: members of communities the user is part of, follow based wot, etc. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'm building a search page right now, so complete, spam free, ordered search results is the goal. Secondarily I want to power the wot indicator, so a "rank" of some kind. These are blunt force instruments, so while personalized scores are better, pagerank style will suffice. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I think it balances a lot of different concerns (dx, safety, speed) pretty well. What do you dislike? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Something that doesn't rely on the user having followed anyone to give good results. Personalized is better, but I want it to work for anyone npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Because it's stone age technology. Hand coded even npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod For now, falling back to follow-based wot is fine. Long-term, I'm confident you wot-nerds will come up with something workable npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Relays npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Interesting. I don't fully grok 85 yet but what you say rings true based on what I've seen. I know someone made a relay that generates them on the fly, which is a nice idea. But I don't need the full subjectivity involved in vetting people, I was only doing that before because I could calculate it in memory. A page ranks style algo would be plenty, and that would scale linearly rather than exponentially. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'd like to avoid relying on a single provider if possible. Does vertex publish nip 85 assertions at all, or is the format incompatible? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod @nprofile…v6ss @nprofile…72gj so I'm exploring NIP 85, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to validate which service providers I should actually use for my users in order to get a good "global" view. I was thinking of hardcoding 5 or so relays and 10 or so service providers and taking the median of the results. But there are a lot of 10040s out there, and lots of different service providers referenced, very few of which have published a kind 0. How am I supposed to hold this thing? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I unfortunately have to take credit for my own mistakes, can't blame them on AI. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'm glad you had good doctors, this kind of thing is terrifying. Pregnancy is no joke, I'm glad everyone is doing ok. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod @nprofile…86lj convinced me it was bad from an optimization standpoint. I would like to see this stuff built into blossom but I'm not exactly sure how. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, they'd probably love that npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I will try to meet some normies and report back npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod What do you think about email/password login as table stakes for normies npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod This was two years ago, the baby is sitting here looking at me npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod My wife had her appendix removed at 8 weeks pregnant, stupid doctor didn't realize it was ruptured at first and told her to take antibiotics npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod He is risen! npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I like doing taxes on Holy Saturday because I can't think of a more hellish activity npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'm just trying to download my transaction history for tax purposes, not use encrypted cloud backups or anything. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod @nprofile…mkqd I'm kind of confused/annoyed about this pop up I'm getting to upgrade my self-hosted AlbyHub to "Pro". Isn't the point of self-hosting that you have access to your own data and aren't getting intermediated? I don't remember this being part of the deal. 😕 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod @nprofile…ypa7 I just tried to send myself an image from the android build of Manent to the web app and got the following error: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Oh, probably not relevant then. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Get an early 2000s Saturn. Bonus points if you live near a junkyard and are willing to fix it yourself. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod April 15th I will be presenting Flotilla at Folk Tech alongside a bunch of other projects from the DWeb community. If you'd like to join, please give this link a gander: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, fork, edit files, open PR. You can do it all from github's UI, although it's certainly not a painless experience
