I write a lot — Nostr posts, articles, course updates — and I could never remember what I'd already said or who it was for. My content was organized by when I posted it, not by who needs it. That's backwards. So I built Lievik. You define your audiences as plain-language channels ("privacy course students," "local Bitcoin meetup"), and it ranks every post by how relevant it is to each one. The same post might score 94% for one channel and 23% for another. Then it drafts the actual update for you, adapted to that channel's form: a short blurb + link for a Signal group, a narrative post for a newsletter, or a quick bullet brief for when you meet people in person. Real example: I'm heading to the sauna and want to tell the people there about the cool stuff I've been posting. Lievik surfaces what's relevant for that group (I define who i go to sauna with and what they are interested in) and hands me a brief — better than political debates. 😄 Nostr-first, no passwords, your content stays on your relays. It's in early access and free to try.

Why I built a tool that tells me which of my posts matter – Juraj Bednar

Píšem veľa — Nostr posty, články, aktualizácie ku kurzom — a nikdy som si nevedel spomenúť, čo som už povedal a komu mám čo zvestovať 😀. Môj obsah bol usporiadaný podľa toho, kedy som ho napísal, nie podľa toho, kto ho potrebuje. Tak som postavil Lievik. Svoje "publiká" si definuješ ako kanály v obyčajnom jazyku („študenti kurzu o súkromí", „lokálny Bitcoin meetup") a Lievik ohodnotí každý post podľa toho, nakoľko je preň relevantný. Ten istý post môže mať 94 % pre jeden kanál a 23 % pre iný — rovnaký obsah, iné publikum. Potom ti rovno pripraví návrh aktualizácie, prispôsobený forme daného kanála: krátky popis + odkaz pre Signal skupinu, naratívny post pre newsletter alebo rýchly odrážkový brief na osobné stretnutie. Reálny príklad: idem do sauny a chcem tým ľuďom povedať o super veciach, ktoré som postoval (teda som ich vytvoril alebo našiel). Lievik vynesie na povrch to, čo je pre tú skupinu relevantné (napíšem si, s kým chodím do sauny a čo ich zaujíma), a podá mi brief — lepšie ako politické debaty. 😄

Nástroj Lievik, ktorý hodnotí, ktoré moje posty sú pre koho dôležité – Juraj Bednar

Yop. And I think he actually believes that. Sam Altman seems to me like a type of guy that would just do it for regulatory capture. But Dario genuinely believes the words coming out of his mouth. I'm not sure which is worse. And neither of them is stupid. View quoted note →

Running Nostr-VPN. Amazing experience. The only trouble I had was not being able to pair, then I realized I have proton vpn on. It's all good, everything works, simple, intuitive, yummy. Thank you @Sirius

O kreativite, umení, hierarchiách, AI a tvorbe Krotiteľov Entropie s @No Good Kid Ako sa prepnúť do cypherpunk režimu? Poznáme prípady ITčkarov, ale v tomto rozhovore s NoGoodKid sa dozviete, ako sa to dá aj v úplne inej oblasti. NoGoodKid je Nostr-natívny tvorca, umelec, producent a dizajnér. Spolupracovali sme na viacerých projektoch, vrátane knihy Krotitelia Entropie. Ale dozviete sa aj o tom aké to bolo odísť z hierarchií, akú rolu v tom zohrávala identita, Nostr, prečo štruktúra, v ktorej tvoríme ovplyvňuje výsledok.

New 🎙️OptionPlus: An audio production of Nocoiner Syndrome: Diagnosis, treatment and money distribution effects on society Abstract: Since the emergence of Bitcoin, we have observed a psychological phenomenon among certain groups, particularly those involved in traditional financial institutions, characterized by the moral opposition to Bitcoin’s early adopters and the system itself. This paper introduces and analyzes the “nocoiner syndrome,” a condition where individuals, especially those benefiting from the current financial system’s Cantillon Effect, perceive early Bitcoin adopters as immoral. Through a case study of recent academic work by European Central Bank employees, we examine how this syndrome manifests in academic discourse and institutional behavior. We analyze the syndrome’s root causes, including cognitive dissonance from missed opportunities and the psychological impact of working within inflationary monetary systems. The paper challenges common misconceptions about early Bitcoin adoption’s morality by examining the risk-adjusted nature of early investments and demonstrating how hodlers contribute to economic resource conservation. We propose several treatment approaches for the nocoiner syndrome, emphasizing the importance of understanding complex systems and the limitations of central planning. Our analysis suggests that this syndrome is not merely a personal psychological condition but a broader societal phenomenon with implications for economic policy and institutional behavior.

Nový 🎙️podcast: Káva z odrody Geisha v Paname nás priviedla k spontánnemu podcastu s Wilderom, Buggiem a Peťom o tom, prečo je Panama cool – a nie len pre dane. Najzaujímavejšie na presťahovaní do inej krajiny je totiž to, čo sa najťažšie podáva ďalej: nie je to „to isté, len iným jazykom a inými peniazmi“, ale úplne iný operačný systém kultúry. Bavíme sa o panamskom vnímaní času, nižšej hladine stresu, boome infraštruktúry, slobode bez cenzúry, kávových plantážach pod sopkou Volcán Barú, miestnej kuchyni aj o tom, čo Panama dala každému z nás. Diel možno aj pre tých, ktorých samotná Panama vôbec neláka.

I am often joking that the clearest sign of bear market environment for me is switching from fancy bio 🥩 to Lidl 🥩. Yesterday I needed a fresh shave, and being in Lidl, I got their Cien-branded razors instead of Gillette, somehow expecting to fight with it and being disappointed. I didn't even get the most expensive one with most blades. It's 3-4x cheaper. The shave was good, honestly I can't tell the difference, maybe it was even a bit better. It won't save me many sats, it's not much per year either way. Another pro tip: no shaving cream or gel needed, water and soap works too. And the Lidl steaks are also good. Morale of the story: bear market is time of discovery and life enjoyment as much as the bull market.

Why is this called geography and not stateography? There are no borders on Earth, they are in the heads of people. Geography should be about rivers, mountains, not about territories of violent gangs. View quoted note →
