I was just talking to a friend from India, and he mentioned that the largest crypto exchange in India, WazirX, was hacked a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, he lost a large portion of his savings and investments. They aren't even sure if it was really a hack or if the founders just stole the money, founders have already left the country. Moral of the story: Not your keys, not your coins.

If we could somehow build a truly decentralized private messaging system here, we would be solving a very fundamental problem. Being able to share secrets over long distances trustlessly is a problem of historic proportions. Nostr gives us the opportunity to solve it for everyone once and for all.

Apart from searching for apps, AppCore Search also allows you to search the internet. It uses DuckDuckGo by default, and you can easily use DDG "bangs" to search for anything. For example, use !chat for AI Chat, !yt for YouTube search, !r for Reddit search, and more. Download:

But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes? Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

This is what the user experience looks like on AppCore. Once you add your favorite websites and apps, switching between them becomes seamless & ability to keep any website in a floating window while using your native apps is incredibly handy.

I’ve made some more improvements to AppCore. Next version will have some interesting features. If you find it useful, I highly recommend adding it to Obtainium, it will see many improvements in the coming days. Feel free to share any recommendations to enhance usability. View quoted note →

When you thought it couldn't get worse, it always does.

Assange walks out of the US Federal court as a free man. Congratulations @Stella Assange

A future version of Chrome will come with an inbuilt Gemini Nano model that developers can access with just two lines of code. These models will run locally, and we can also integrate them into our web app. Someone has already extracted the weights of this model, and it's available on Hugging Face.

There is a lot to be said about the Assange case, including the injustice of his nearly 15-year detention and the coercion to plead guilty despite his innocence. Yet, on a personal level, witnessing his release and departure from the UK is truly heartwarming. 🤍

In the next few days, WebCore users will have access to a suite of encryption and password security tools. These tools will help you generate strong passwords, encrypt text manually, and provide offline storage that is also AES encrypted & of course everything will be open source. Install: https://webcore.live

Omg, Julian Assange is free

Fun fact: You can also run other AI models locally on your phone, including those for summarization, speech-to-text, translation, and more. You can essentially run any model that uses the Transformer architecture on mobile devices, and fortunately, these task-specific models are usually small and run very efficiently. This opens up exciting possibilities for creating private smart note-taking and composition apps. NostrNet's new 'Aithena' dashboard will become a hub for running multimodal LLMs alongside task-specific SLMs. You can try these small task-specific AI models and run them locally through your browser. https://xenova.github.io/transformers.js/
