a funny aspect of getting the coding agent to write meaningful tests around #nostr functionality is the understanding that secret key -> pubkey cannot be faked. I see so many "npub123-abc" in its tests. no matter how often I explicitly instruct it otherwise. I have a rule in CLAUDE.md which points out that we have a keys.md with a markdown table with 10 secret keys, pubkeys, and npubs for use in tests, and it always forgets and just makes things up.

I keep coming back to making lists of lists, or more accurately, set of sets. is there a reason why it doesn't exist in the NIPS? just hasn't been a need so far, or was it discussed and discarded? I ask because I've looked and did not find anything.
thinking of using 30100 for that kind. I like the idea of a hierarchical list of lists than can link in lists owned and maintained by others. if you hang follow sets from those lists, it becomes a nice way to subscribe to a feed, if there are clients that allow it.

this is because long form content is currently an afterthought for most clients. no blame, most don't care. but we definitely need better tools.

this is a common issue I think, but specifically with claude code.. I'm so exhausted by having to explain when I'm asking a question about a proposed change I am never asserting something... always just asking.
when i ask something like "why are you using Getenv() here?" I usualy get:
"You're absolutely right! I was so wrong, I'll stop that and go this other way..."
if I wanted to express that sentiment I'd do it directly. has anyone found a way to phrase a question economically that conveys that you actually just want an answer?

I am using claude-code, and one constant struggle I have is getting it answer questions without poisoning it's concept of what we're working on. I create markdown files describing the features and such, but when I come across strange implementation and ask something like:
"is there an implementation of this in go-nostr we could use instead of writing new code?"
it takes that as a suggestion "You're absolutely right!" and runs off to edit the code, rather than just answering my question. I have various lines in my CLAUDE.md describing how not to run off and change things without being explicitly told to do so, but that all eventually falls out of context or is just not working. do any of you have suggestions on how to ask claude code questions in context without derailing things?

excellent paper that zooms out to question the current AI paradigm of stochastic gradient descent. it results in "fractured, entangled representations", that is, deep neural network toplogies which are not modular. this means that in order to improve a specific function, all the scattered heterogeneous loci of that function must be found and updated. the author points out an example of neural nets, though vastly smaller than modern LLMs, that were generated by a process of open ended evolution, and that they produce highly factored and modular representations.

this book is still relevant, maybe more than ever
from Richard Hamming's "The Art of Doing Science and Engineering":
FORTRAN, meaning FORmula TRANslation, was proposed by Backus and friends, and again was opposed by almost all programmers. First, it was said it could not be done. Second. if it could be done, it would be too wasteful of machine time and capacity. Third, even if it did work, no respectable programmer would use it—it was only for sissies!
The use of FORTRAN, like the earlier symbolic programming, was very slow to be taken up by the professionals. And this is typical of almost all professional groups. Doctors clearly do not follow the advice they give to others, and they also have a high proportion of drug addicts. Lawyers often do not leave decent wills when they die. Almost all professionals are slow to use their own expertise for their own work. The situation is nicely summarized by the old saying, “The shoe maker’s children go without shoes”. Consider how in the future, when you are a great expert, you will avoid this typical error!
With FORTRAN available and running, I told my programmer to do the next problem in FORTRAN, get her errors out of it, let me test it to see it was doing the right problem, and then she could, if she wished, rewrite the inner loop in machine language to speed things up and save machine time. As a result we were able, with about the same amount of effort on our part, to produce almost 10 times as much as the others were doing. But to them programming in FORTRAN was not for real programmers!

https://npub.blog is a webapp for reading long-form content. it pulls articles from anyone you follow, as a feed. I haven't found another site that does such a thing so I built this. I've been polishing it, but it's obviously still very raw and untested. give it a look. send me feedback if you notice something broken.
you can enter an npub or a nip05 if you want to see someone else's article feed, or just sign in with your own to read your feed.
one day nostr will transparently supplant RSS feeds as the obvious way to asynchronously distribute and track long-form content. there's just some missing components along the way we have to build.

what is the most cost effective way to run a #LocalLLM coding model? I'd like as much capacity as possible, for instance to run something like qwen3-coder, kimi-k2, magistral, etc in their highest fidelity instantiations.
I see three high level paths. buy an..
- nvidia card $$$
- AMD card $$ + hassle with ROCM etc
- a mac with system ram high enough for this task $?$?
- something else?
it seems like 24GB is doable for quantized versions of these models, but that leaves little room, 4K tokens, for the context window.
