The best way to solve this is to keep the relay policy, to indicate that this is not welcome.

This does not eliminate the policy, however it makes it too uncertain for VC investors.

If anything, they should use witness data, because witness data can be discarded without losing 99% of the benefits of a full history.

What if instead of misinterpretable hand-wavey specs, we had concrete implementations in code of the core functionality? We might even package this up into an easy to use thing, which we could call a library.

But the UI is still very problematic. So we also make a base UI. Then, why bother with people reimplementing their own thing all the time? We add 99% of the functions everyone needs into the base UI.

I think it would be neat if websites in addition to or completely removed FAQ pages and incorporated a trained LLM on their products/services/niche instead. I know a lot of websites have "assistants" that help with customer service, but jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) did an excellent job with Dave with a nostr/decentralized training and sparked my thoughts in why more companies haven't tried something similar. Obviously I think cost could be a factor, since a webpage is a lot cheaper than paying for the compute power they might need. Who knows, maybe in the future compute cost comes down and we begin to see more niche LLMs. #randomthoughts

in case y'alls didn't realise it, the big money bros are leaving nostr and cancelling their relays

nostr stands on its own feet now, and that means that we have to have paid relays and we have to have protocols built to make discovery automatic.

none of this is frontier distributed systems tech. all are solved problems that never got solved for nostr because they deliberately kept things centralised, and paid devs to build for that architecture.

it is disappearing. nostr will become what it was born to be now.

or it will mutate into what it was born to be.

i'm here for it. i'll be building things from the steppe and my costs are low so if you want someone who knows this stuff inside and out, i'm available.

living in the middle of nowhere the only expensive thing is internet. food, rent, power, all relatively cheap. maybe i need solar panels. maybe i can find a place to set up where i have a hot spring and i can drill down and run off geothermal.

this is the future of nostr. welcome.

We need to focus on cutting social services first since that’s majority of the budget.

In individual finance, replace the $100,000 ford f-150 with a $20,000 Prius, the $7 Starbucks won’t change your financial outcome at all really.

Here’s the output reply too just in case you wanted to read it.

Trillions of dollars can be incredibly hard to wrap your head around. Shrinking the entire U.S. federal budget down to a single $100 bill is one of the best ways to understand where our tax dollars actually go.
Before we look at the exact dollars and cents, it helps to see how the overall money flows. The Sankey diagram below illustrates how the federal government takes in revenue (mostly from individual income and payroll taxes) and channels it into different types of spending:
Using the most recent comprehensive federal spending data, here is exactly how that $100 is divided up:
The U.S. $100 Budget Breakdown
| General Category | Share of the $100 | Specific Programs Included |
|---|---|---|
| Social Programs | $60.00 | Social Security ($22.00), Medicare ($14.00), Medicaid & healthcare ($14.00), and Income Security/safety net ($10.00). |
| Military & Veterans | $19.00 | Department of Defense ($13.00) and Veterans benefits/services ($6.00). |
| Net Interest on Debt | $14.00 | The cost of servicing the existing national debt. |
| Foreign Aid | $1.25 | Economic, developmental, and humanitarian assistance. |
| All Other Programs | $5.75 | Education ($2.00), Transportation ($2.00), Administration of Justice ($1.00), and everything else ($0.75). |
| Total U.S. Budget | $100.00 | |
1. Social Programs: $60.00
This is by far the heaviest piece of the pie. Nearly two-thirds of every dollar spent by the government goes toward domestic health, retirement, and safety-net programs:
* Social Security ($22.00): Strictly mandatory spending that goes directly to retired workers, disabled individuals, and surviving spouses.
* Medicare ($14.00): Provides health coverage for seniors over 65 and people with specific disabilities.
* Medicaid & Health ($14.00): Covers joint federal-state medical assistance for low-income individuals, children, and federal health research (like the National Institutes of Health).
* Income Security ($10.00): This is the actual "safety net"—including SNAP (food stamps), unemployment insurance, school lunch programs, and housing assistance.
2. Military & Veterans: $19.00
Often lumped together simply as "defense," this category supports national security and those who served:
* National Defense ($13.00): Directly funds the Department of Defense, including military personnel, weapons development, and global operations.
* Veterans Benefits ($6.00): Funds VA hospitals, disability compensation, and GI Bill education benefits for retired military members.
3. Foreign Aid: $1.25 (By Country)
Foreign aid is a tiny subset of the federal budget, representing only about $1.25 out of your $100.
Because $1.25 is a small amount to slice, we have to talk about "cents" to show where it goes. Based on the most recent fully finalized annual disbursements, that $1.25 is distributed as follows:
* Israel: ~$0.10 (10 cents) — Primarily foreign military financing.
* Ukraine: ~$0.09 (9 cents) — Emergency economic, security, and humanitarian aid.
* Jordan: ~$0.02 (2.5 cents) — Economic support and regional security.
* Ethiopia: ~$0.02 (2 cents) — Major humanitarian assistance, food programs, and public health.
* Democratic Republic of the Congo: ~$0.02 (2 cents) — Emergency medical aid, food security, and crisis response.
* Global Programs (170+ other countries): ~$1.00 — The rest is spread incredibly thin across the globe. It covers international disaster relief, global vaccine distribution, UN peacekeeping, and agricultural development.
> Perception vs. Reality: Public opinion polls consistently show that the average American believes foreign aid consumes roughly 25% of the federal budget (which would be $25 out of our $100). In reality, the entire world combined receives just $1.25, with the largest single-country allies receiving about a dime each.
>
4. Net Interest on the Debt: $14.00
This is one of the fastest-growing categories in the budget. This $14.00 does not pay for any schools, roads, or troops; it is purely the interest the U.S. government must pay to investors who hold American debt. Due to rising national debt and higher interest rates, the interest on our "credit card" now costs more than the entire baseline Department of Defense budget ($13.00).
5. All Other Programs: $5.75
This final pot is what many people think of when they imagine "government spending." Out of your $100, these domestic services receive relatively modest slices:
* Education & Social Services ($2.00): Federal grants for K-12 schools, special education, and student loans.
* Transportation ($2.00): Highway funding, airport improvements, and mass transit.
* Justice ($1.00): The FBI, federal courts, border security, and federal prisons.
* General Administration ($0.75): Everything else, including NASA, the EPA, national parks, and running the federal agencies.

Foreign aid is to Israel is about 0.05% to 0.01% of the budget.

According to Gemini, if the U.S. Budget was $100, Israel would be $0.10 of the $100 with social services being $60, and the military being ~$20 with all foreign aid in total being a $1.25.
