From all this AI saga, all I want is a general-purpose open-source LLM that is efficient enough to run locally on a phone, > 10 tokens/sec and smart enough to handle basic tasks like answering questions and reading PDFs with contextual understanding. No AGI, nothing, just a model, Light enough to run on a device locally, yet smart enough to handle essential tasks, that’s all I need, I'm a simple man.

0xChat is basically at the cutting edge of what's currently possible with Nostr in terms of direct communication. It has audio/video calls, gift-wrapped private DMs, & both private and public group chats, light discovery page & minimal design. It's also a great default app for all Nostr notifications. Absolutely love it 🤌🤍

End of Ghosh Chat | Important Story, Lesson & Realization | Warning for Threema & Session Users! It looks like Australian government agencies have compromised Ghosh Chat, an anonymous & encrypted messaging service. Context: Ghosh Chat was an anonymous messaging platform where you could send messages without requiring an email or phone number. It was partially open-source but controlled by a single company. In terms of user experience, company structure, and governance, it was very similar to Threema and Session. But like any company, they had a headquarters. Ghosh Chat’s HQ was based in Sydney. Until yesterday, it was generally trusted for anonymity and encryption. It was used daily by many criminals across the world and had been battle-tested, although it also had plenty of regular users. The Scary Part: It turns out Ghosh Chat had been compromised for quite some time. Today, police started making arrests across Australia. Authorities have all the chat logs and are now using them to incriminate users. The site is still live, but it’s compromised. So, what went wrong? Ghosh Chat wasn’t just any app—it was OG, battle-tested, and encrypted. But it had the same fundamental problem as Session and Threema—and it’s a dangerous one. The issue is the single point of failure. When one company has full control over the underlying protocol, the app/website, and the encryption implementations, it becomes incredibly easy to introduce backdoors, compromise the entire network, or even take it down altogether. Nostr now has a huge opportunity to solve the private communication problem once and for all. It’s the only decentralized, permissionless, and anonymous communication protocol that exists right now.

Everyone has become so comfortable with scams, from politicians to creators. They do it in broad daylight, shamelessly taking advantage of the most vulnerable and desperate people. It's very disgusting behavior, and it should not be normalized.

Always use P2P exchanges for Bitcoin purchases, especially when buying for long-term storage in a cold wallet. Avoid mixing these coins with those purchased from centralized exchanges or tied to your identity.

Apple Notes can now "solve/calculate" basic math equations and make graphs in real-time. I regularly practice math on my iPad, I'm super curious to see if it makes any difference!

The more I build it, the more I’m starting to love it. With each custom personality, you have a 2-million-token context. You can set constraints or modify the model's behavior using 'system prompts,' making them task-specific, even code as context. No login, chat history stored locally, option to attach your own API.

Side project—an AI chatbot that lets you build custom sub-models for specific tasks. You can use your own data, system prompts, to build them and even attach your own API!
