Hey @Don't Believe The Vibe 🌱🍋🍊 I am testing the tutorial of nostr-dvm. I encountered a weird issue: - In '04_simple_chat_bot.py' I managed to run the DVM however when I send it a message, the reply message fails with error. - I think there is a bug in how it tries to send reply DM - I tried to fix the problematic line but can't get the modified code under 'nostr_utils.py' to execute

Some of my bitcoiner friends still need time to get used to nostr. I believe it is because in nostr there are NO well-understood models of clear tradeoffs like in bitcoin. Consistency of notes, relay roles and incentives, censorship game-theory, the degree of interoperability and how conflicts in specs are resolved... Most replies to these questions are just "We'll figure it out along the way" or "It is working most of the time" but this obviously don't help against strong skepticism. Embrace the chaos like @PABLOF7z says is often a hard sell for people with a mind set on bitcoin meachanics. Guess they just have to see how radically every app is improving. For them seeing is believing.

Posting from @primal , this has improved a lot since I last checked. Good job @miljan and team! While I am not a fan of social media, this is so much more than that. We still tend to compare nostr apps to social media to anchor this to a familiar concept. Nonetheless most of us know that we now have the freedom features the big-tech monoliths cannot afford to build. Thats how we win.

I'll soon set up my Flotilla group @hodlbod , I will demo it in a few days on my meetup for the folks in Budapest. Wish me luck I don't want to burn ppl out with my enthusiasm for broken nostr apps 😅

A must-read for devs. QR code scanning without copy-pasting and additional external configuration. Explicit, straightforward. The assumption that mobile phones can work best as signers makes a lot of sense. I am convinced. Also for me putting all necessary permissions in the connect request solved very annoying UX of unexpected popup windows from signers. Let the user go through permissions once and scrutinize but popups will not make the user examine perms more but less imo.

Check out @Guy Swann 's AI Unchained pod it's really great food for thought! My latest revelations: - AI is not human-like intelligence but a sophisticated bayesian probability machine. Therefore it has serious limitations that are very hard to overcome even for billion-dollar juggernauts like OpenAI - AI is despite not being intelligent in the human sense, it still is insanely useful to achieve an order of magnitude productivity improvement in a swath of tasks - AI will get Big-Tech rekt because they use cheap fiat capital to desperately try to bring their high time-preference AI products to market while these are falling short on initial promises mostly. The current pace is unsustainable and most big-tech giants fell for the craze too early. - I think this is great. Big tech corporations get their comeuppance while advancing AI to adopt by smaller open-source players. Such a positive outcome! Eventually better players with smaller pockets but aligned incentives can come online. Good stuff!

Decentralized web is not a selling point. Unfettered markets IS. Know the difference between needs and technologies that solve those needs. The story matters.

"If we taught children to speak, they'd never learn. If we taught them to walk, they'd never walk." If you think education today helps you learn anything you're wrong. The incentives are so perverse that you are lucky if you end up really learning anything DESPITE having gone through formal education. I created SatShoot for anyone to be able to start earning sats without permission and thus keep learning sustainably by solving problems of any size. The barrier to entry is really low, only Proof of Work matters. The open-source culture of nostr and bitcoin unleashes this virtuous cycle of learning and earning while building a permanent reputation in the freedom-economy. Incentives aligned. Say No to fiat bullshit degrees and certificates. Say No to corporate slavery and endless boredom. There's a better way.

Hey @Yuki Kishimoto and #rust-nostr fans, can you enlighten me please: When I am calculating my Web of Trust I do the following: 0. Create client with outbox model enabled 1. Get my follows, mutes, reports in one fetch call 2. Get follows, mutes, reports of my follows in another fetch call, using an authors filter that has all follows in it 3. Calculate scores with my weights locally Question: Why did step 2. take hours to complete? It seems like it's trying to connect to loads of relays. My guess is either I am doing sth horribly wrong or there is no smart relay set calculation for filters in the pool. In ndk this calculation takes under 10 seconds to complete, even without any caching. It will first look at the filters and calculate a relay set that has all authors in it then does the fetching. #asknostr #rust

We just need to persist long enough for the world to see that big tech is a big lie and freedom tech will take its place with smaller companies and mostly open-source software. I am absolutely not worried(keeping my default vigilance though) about big tech threats and captures anymore. The incentives are there: Bitcoin and nostr cuts right into their monopolies and will destroy them in due time. We just have to stay in the game long enough. By endurance we conquer. Keep working.
