Last Notes
This is an actual rabbit hole, for those who enjoy conspiracies.
Way too many things were off that day.

Do you think that match was rigged for Argentina? Very likely
This is the “At least you tried.” meme if it were a member of the animal kingdom.
Have been playing with this morning. Good stuff.

The medical and psych fields are overrun with "experts" on conditions they've never experienced.
A personal favorite example is that Borat's brother, a neurotypical, has been the worlds leading "expert" on autism for decades. After all that time working with autistic people he unironically thinks that autistic people have no theory of mind. That shit would be funny as hell if it wasn't peer reviewed, accepted, published, and used to guide the care of actual human beings.
Anyhow, you don't look disabled sooo....
It feels like that but no, she's just a careless 95 year old in a giant steel Buick who needs to get off the road already. The theory folks at the farmer's market have is that she's related to the police somehow 🤷♀️
Real talk for a second: speaking as a confessor, you would not believe how many people really struggle with this.
I was at a conference once where someone once asked a priest giving the presentation if he had any advice for brother priests.
He said, "Yes. Stop watching the news."

Dump a whole bunch of it on the public, keep the rest, make profit on inflated API.
Or maybe they are looking for a way to get their other portfolio companies to funnel more revenue at the AI providers at the same usage.
Correct. It's all about the IPOs.
Nope. She's driving around like a lunatic still. Absolutely no shame. Never stopped going to the farmer's market. I've avoided it because I didn't want see her again, and then instead she nearly ran over me at Kroger too. I feel some kind of way about it but hey, at least insurance will cover the ongoing medical fiasco I'm dealing with.
The short-spine syndrome raccoon out of Seattle, affectionately named "Jimothy," is a national treasure.

I expected them to just ramp the hype and go public to dumb on the economically illiterate. Trying to actually turn a sustainable profit is remarkably Un-VC of them.
Despite the naysayers, the most obvious explanation is that the VC insiders think there is more money to be had holding and turning them profitable than hype and dumb to exit now. That would take a huge gap in expected profit considering how high time preference VC usually is when there is a profit to be locked in.
To be fair, she's used to a lot more socializing and activities. She's been a very good girl while we're on the mend these days 💖
Argentina was threatened and had to lose the world cup final
That's me in various situations. Which ones? I dunno.
A day in the life of Princess Aurora 💖🐶💖

On my way to pick up more pecans but scooped up some peaches along the way 🫠❤️🚀

Oh, I get the counting up halfway thing now, no need to explain. Will have to ponder the last bit, then decide if I care enough to fully solve this in closed form for you or not (jk...).
I think it had to do with what "they" needed for the world cup
It's completely culture-dependent, it will probably succeed in the long term but not down many generations
The global Argentina hate is manufactured, and many are falling for it. It escaped the online sphere, people have been physically attacked for wearing a shirt or waving a flag.
Nothing about us has changed, we are a passionate bunch proud of our nation and heritage. The argument that we're racist is simply cope by jealous foreigners whose countries are beyond repair.
Thank you bruv!! Picking up pecans today!
It's better . the old design was getting old
I was going to saw more Marlboro 😄😆
It seems that we are now in the part of the bubble where AI companies try to profit.
In a year, the price of models has gone up 3x for OpenAI models, for example. This has especially impacted nano and mini models.
Same with Gemini, 2.5 => 3.1 going up in price 5x for output tokens.
Took a good 30m or so to write.
I have also included some additional details here:

We all have biases. Some pretend they don’t. I try to stay away from them. GM
You can see it in her face, she doesn’t fully understand what’s going on. I tell her it’ll be fine in a few days 😭

Youngest has been sick for a few days now. Nothing unusual for a 2 y.o. though.
Are you affected by the forest fires?
fedora with gnome is great
i spent almost a week with a macbook air and used webinstall.dev for managing packages instead of homebrew and it was very pleasant
I could not bring myself to work on the Nests rewrite while being exhausted, under public pressure, and other concerns. The unilateral decisions about a project I contributed to so much did not help.
I forgot to mention, we held a bounty pool to be paid out to any contributors to the ground-up rewrite, that was separated.
I transferred any custodied sats for this bounty I might have to Derek when I left.
If I remember correctly, we also compensated both TC and Karnage out of pocket from Nostr Plebs for their work. It was however unfortunate to see Karnage’s design work go to waste..

I do less Nostr development now. Mostly because the AI slop takeover, and the focus on quality going downhill. I have tried to prevent that to some extent, but I have failed.
(Especially on the NIPs, where my access was revoked)
But, it is great to be able to work with amazing people like @npub1r0r…q9ac and the @npub137c…k37w.
I try to do the right thing. Sometimes I make mistakes.
Me too! 😂

Making it open would not have helped with interoperability, unfortunately. Jam was not designed for that, which both Nests and Corny Chat were based on.
It would have been good to fully open up, but it’s gone now. There was no attempts though to “lock it down”, and it remained compatible with the base Jam software.
The goal of the rewrite was to provide specifications anyone could implement to get their own fully compatible audio room. That got lost after the takeover, somehow.
I attribute the downfall more to Primal and fast-moving specs, more than “scrutinizing what is a true client”.
when were gestures, ie swipe back, fixed in brave for linux/fedora? is this only working in brave origin? am i just late to the party? #asknostr

It was more complex and weirder than that.
Derek started hosting Nostr Nests independently based on Jam software. They made some minor modifications early on, but got bigger.
With our existing work together on Nostr Plebs, I agreed to help.
With there UI leaving a lot to be desired, me, @npub1jdg…2mys and @npub1r0r…q9ac worked on a UI redesign. Most of the core remained the same, with mostly some UI changes.
I have been clear that Nests was based on Jam, and I have never tried to obscure that.
Anyway, at this point, it was decided that a complete rewrite, fully independent from Jam was a good idea.
There were too many issues with large rooms on Jam. Also, it was built with a different identity system than Nostr, which made it hard to integrate.
The main reason that we, together, decided to not make it open-contribution is due to the rewrite. It would be fully open source and open contribution, and more suited than that.
(Looking back, I’m not sure if that was a good choice or not. The code depended a lot on internal details to work.)
Anyway, I did not have the motivation to work on the rewrite due to burn-out and personal reasons. This was not helped by the fact that our informal agreement with Derek that it was a shared project fell through, of sorts.
Derek had made it clear that he treated it mostly as his own project including making unilateral decisions, and I felt like that was disrespectful to the work of me and others.
Around that point I left and took a break from Nostr.
I did not track what happened fully next, but I believe it was replaced by a rewrite by Kieran and then proceeded to become inactive.
——
If it was ever unclear that Nests was based on Jam, I apologize for that.
There was never a goal to gatekeep contributions, but more that it was simply not suitable for it due to it being designed with so many internal components.
The situation was more complex than this person was solely responsible about it”.
Even though I have mixed feelings about it, I will not share my personal interactions with Derek in depth out of respect for privacy.
Air quality is excellent here 😂
Luckily there’s no impact from forest fires. Thanks for worrying homie
