Morning notes (12/14) - ⚡ Boost for sats (more info at the bottom) ⚡ View quoted note → View quoted note → View quoted note → View quoted note → Be one of the first 10 boosters and you'll get 1000 sats minimum once ten boosts are reached or 12h have elapsed. This is an experiment and your feedback is welcome. I know I'm not the first but I'm interested to learn how these can be used for greatest effect. $boost

There are a lot of unknowns in designing a predator/prey simulation. I suspect it'll be important for all animals to have a hunger sensor though I wonder, do predators need to have different hunger functions than prey? Also how much should movement cost versus neuronal activity?

Noticed a couple of these stickers in the wild. Do you think looking at the metaphorical you each day as a drained battery would have a positive or negative emotional effect? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1276800276/family-battery-car-decals?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=car+battery+decal&ref=sr_gallery-1-10&frs=1&organic_search_click=1

Are car manufacturers still making adaptive volume a premium option? Noticed while listening to a classical piece in the car (with stock audio system) this morning that I had to ride the volume knob. Our ears do a good job of compression in the absence of noise but unfortunately there's a lot of that while driving.

Yesterday's boost note didn't seem to have much effect (2 boosts only, 2k sats paid). Part of it may have been the lack of any visual content. The previous one had an interesting video embedded. Posting morning notes in general will continue as it's generally stimulating. Will try another boost note today and maybe for a few more days to get a bit more statistical significance. Maybe the 10k sats should not be limited to 1k per but be split among boosters so the incentive adapts to boost interest.

For the boost yesterday, I didn't mention forwarding zaps from the main note onto the boosters. Today I'll add that in. So the reward will be what I put up plus whatever the note receives by the time the prism gets paid. It's hard to quantify the overall effect of boosts but certainly getting to interact with more of you versus just posting these things. Some further things to research: whether to unbundle the notes and give them their own prisms, how this works for different boost amounts and split populations.

Often in sitcoms the laughs come from a lack of self-awareness of some main character, e.g. Michael Scott. Thinking about self-awareness as a process, I wonder if it being energetically expensive can be a low-level source of anxiety. Childhood is a time when processes are learned and then automated so for those who didn't experience a lot of social interaction as children, self-awareness may be too expensive to perform a lot of.

My AI/ML research has brought me to develop a predator-prey simulation. The grand hypothesis is, self-awareness arises naturally from predator-prey relationships. The mini hypothesis is, predators and prey driven by neural nets will naturally co-evolve strategies for survival. In order to enable more dense process representations, neural-network topologies will be managed by a genetic algorithm.

While running I often have comments and ideas about whatever I'm listening to, but have struggled to find a convenient way to jot them down. Finally got a little voice recorder and made 22 notes on yesterday's run. Time will tell if this is worthwhile. I suspect it will be.

Now following this Milky Slug.

Ok, that was fucking lit. The prism got created automatically once it hit 10 posts. I zapped the created prism in noStrudel and all zaps went through with zero extra clicks needed. The only thing was I needed to check @PrismPosts feed to see the prism note since for some reason I didn't see their quote post in my notifications. If they'd mentioned me there, it would have been 20% cooler.

The reason AI/ML has become interesting to me personally is because it seems close to building something like consciousness. I suspect consciousness arose as soon as prey needed to avoid predators that were modeling its behavior. In such a scenario, knowing what the fox knows about the rabbit's behavior gives the rabbit just that much better chance of escape. So I'm wondering now which if any of the ML models might be able to work on a small simulation of predator and prey. After finishing the Machine Learning for Everybody video, I learned that there are things called a GRUs and MCUs that could figure in to a real-time behavioral model.

In developing a web of trust with noswot, the initial instinct is to make a user-facing application because that's what's most visible. The power of a web of trust however is probably more in the background. The listr-style list Noswot2k has been great as a note feed but perhaps has more potential as a filter for many other kinds of activity. I noticed while making prisms that one can specify a list to limit participants and if that works, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm thinking of. Limiting to more trusted users mans greater efficiency, less spam, and a rare win-win for decentralized tech.

To my followers, for the last few days I've been treating Nostr like an interactive notebook. For you this means that you should not take anything I say as settled business or set in stone. For me this means I get better grounding of my ideas by people from a diverse set of perspectives. Aesthetically, it's also neat seeing a social network as an extension of my thought process and life experiences. GM

The boost/prism experiment yesterday, even if not perfect, was a success. 10k sats given out. 6 boosts received before creating the prism, 9 boosts after. 1 failed zap. Plenty of reactions and comments. Today I'll try waiting longer until creating the prism and will put the ($)boost on its own line.

I'm wondering if a NIPs competitor process is necessary to solve the problems of ill-defined process, unwritten rules, deadlock, and over-authoritativeness. Perhaps FEP can be this venue. The key point of contention is whether Nostr could be considered part of the fediverse. Nostr's not made of federated instances though relays still wield more power to censor than most people think. Mostr joins them into one with a bridge however it's unclear if a set of bridges can turn two systems into one.
