The only project you need to succeed at is yourself.

An elitist attitude has pervaded the left in this country that considers nuanced speech dangerous. "What you said is factually accurate and reasonable but The Lessers won't understand the nuance so publicly stating it is dangerous and toxic to society."

The easiest way to be right is to lie to ourselves. We can even remove the need to lie with just one meta-lie: our feelings are facts. We want so badly to be right and for there to be no problems left to solve. Our feelings are springs surfacing oceans of self-certainty, virtue, and complacency.

Why do we only say "100%"? I feel like partial agreement is underrepresented. them: "pineapples don't belong on pizza" me: "50%"

Is it weird that I imagine GitHub Copilot is judging my code while I'm writing it?

statistical model is running is the new code is compiling

Been programming to edm lately

Saw a puppet show in Austin that was an amazing live production of a family traveling the Oregon Trail. Only puppets (surprisingly!) would let you experience - live - the audacious scale of the journey. Then the director had to ruin it by explaining that the moral of the story was “the white man’s insatiable thirst for more things that don’t belong to him.”

One of my favorite things about nostr as is today is that it feels relatively private.

I can't use twitter anymore. They've tuned the "actively viewing" parameter of the reward function *way* too high. My feed was almost entirely videos of random attacks even though I kept telling it I didn't want to see those.

Super happy @npub16x07...s89d is our first eng hire!

Is this a reasonable approach to algorithms on nostr?

Nostr already has an "algo" all relays use to order events. The algo is "sort by created_at in descending order." What I want is a way to ask relay...

From today's SN newsletter: If you've been struggling to comprehend nostr, stop thinking about it as decentralized social media and start thinking about it as less centralized social media. Nostr makes application backends interchangeable and encourages using multiple backends simultaneously. That's it. It isn't decentralized in the way Bitcoin is. But, more importantly, it isn't centralized in the way Twitter is either. It's less centralized *enough* that nostriches aren't dependent on a single centralized entity and thus applications built on nostr have significantly altered incentives. Someone I'm forced to respect (me) once tweeted: > Unless a technology changes incentives, it merely helps history repeat faster. Nostr changes incentives. What comes next isn't a digital utopia, but its harder to predict than you think. Pura Vida!

#[0] is there a way to prevent needing to reload the Alby extension repeatedly on Snort?

Woke up excited to continue hacking on my toy nostr relay, booger. Today is newsletter day tho so hacking will have to wait.
