There’s a new pattern emerging in tech:
We’re starting to confuse theoretical possibility with production reality.
Recently, there’s been a surge of content around:
“Dirty quantum attacks”
“9-minute Bitcoin breaches”
“Stealth systems breaking encryption quietly”
It all sounds urgent.
It all sounds plausible.
But that’s exactly the issue.
---
What’s Actually Happening
Quantum computing is progressing — no doubt.
But today’s systems still face fundamental constraints:
Error correction remains the bottleneck
Logical qubits don’t scale easily
Noise dominates computation
These aren’t minor engineering problems.
They are the problem.
---
Where the Narrative Breaks
We’re seeing a shift from:
> Research → Engineering → Deployment
to:
> Research → Narrative → Assumed inevitability
And that gap matters.
Because once a story sounds technical enough, it often bypasses scrutiny.
---
The Real Risk
The real risk isn’t:
Instant cryptographic collapse
Silent mempool attacks
Overnight systemic failure
The real risk is slower — and more manageable:
Gradual capability improvements
Migration to post-quantum cryptography
Legacy systems becoming the weakest link
This is a transition problem, not an apocalypse.
---
Why This Matters
When narratives run ahead of reality:
Markets misprice risk
Teams make premature decisions
Attention shifts away from actual engineering work
Clarity matters.
---
Closing Thought
Quantum computing will matter.
But not because of headlines.
Because of measurable capability, verified progress, and real-world deployment.
Until then:
> We should be careful not to treat possibility as production.

Are they like the old ones where the flash is just an internal SD card? I upgraded a Kobo mini to 64gb. 10 years later a friend is still using it. Kobo's are awesome.
So the relays rebroadcast but we still need outbox in clients. Make it make sense.

Awesome, that's perfect... you're already halfway there. Before I go typing out a list of relays, is there anything specific you want to be different? Like, do you want to reduce spam replies on your notes? Or do you want to leave big relays completely (and not be seen by a portion of the people using them)? Or trim back on data consumption?
I've had a couple people end up disappointed because we went too restricted too quickly 😅 I don't want to do that again, so I'd rather try to tailor this to what you're wanting.

I’m perfectly bullish here, dude
Sexual harassment towards LGBTQI+ is not tolerated.
The challenge when using wall paint on the ceiling is to make it look even. But if you're really good at it, this is fine.

Invidious always, please. No reason not to.

I wonder if genz will get together ... His hack would be all those people watching on a webstream...
I watched that scene just recently, and the cat made so much sense to me, but at a purely instinctual level. I can't explain it.
gm sucka! bulls on parade 🦓🦓🦄
May come as a shock to you that I'm in the 99%, so can appreciate this. Media is complicated and was not covered by my computer teacher in HS.

How many eggs full of nickels were hidden?
How do you actually corn a beef?
Will Jesus take the wheel?
And many more.
Mike is the quintessential example. Just look at him! Who would suspect that guy knows anything about anything? 😂

Really the clients should be doing proper compression of avatars, and other images & video. 99% of users are clueless about optimizing media for the web. Most don't even have a mental model of what a MB actually is.

Too bad Nostr avatars don't support modern formats, instead of ones from 40 years ago.

Cuz I think I'm supposed to act like I understand what you did wrong to result in having such a heavy pfp, which I assume fills up my image cache or something, and I was meant to shame you for it. I don't actually know how anything works, and was mostly relieved my uploaded pfp wasn't large. Doesn't bother me none

Not very good at "we lost, back down"
Banning migration is madness.
I could swear our first interaction was around xmas songs.. Oh, maybe you're making the distinction that they weren't silly jingles, but the respectable children's choir/cathedral sort. Yeah, that tracks, and I'll grant you this on a relative to other xmas songs scale. I like that one that goes "hee ho hee ho, hee ho hee ho,... ding dong ding dong," etc.
The girl placed in this gif in particular is such a mood. I identify strongly.
Took me forever, to figure out what that sticker was depicting. 😂
Happy Easter, my fren. 🫂
