LLMs can generate info, but there are differences between using them and a source like wiki. Wiki is a visible repository of information - users can find a wide range of topics from early childhood to experience to recognition at a quick glance. Wiki has10B views per month and I doubt it would be dying anytime soon.
LLMs on the other hand function more as search contributors. Users prompt queries to generate information. But LLMs can be customized to provide wiki-like profiles, tailoring model's responses. Many people are customizing LLMs for various applications, and turning that into startups
I was thinking abour wikipedia on nostr - Nostrpedia - i'm sure someone have thought about it or created it. Long forms can be used as it can be edited.
To a user, it becomes a link that a lot of people refer to for information. To Nostr it becomes a form of marketing as well as these links will often be googled up and shared. It can also generate secondary jobs for people who want to edit information, be Nostrpedia writers etc
Not sure if this is along your train of thoughts on the above.
looks good!
wow, this is incredible
Worked through another weekend and this week stretched out thin, literally every part of my body hurts lol. Got 2 major publishers locked in for my side gig, so grateful. Hired a newbie as I could not keep up trying to do everything. Over time I realise my leadership style changed a lot - I went from this cool tech manager to a paranoid startup founder to now just trusting your team (and letting them go if they can’t pick up).
So much to cover this week but I really loved what JayZ said during his award “you have one chance”
What does it mean ?
It’s a powerful reminder of the limited opportunities people face, especially if you are from a disadvantaged background. Take any opportunity that comes your way and give it your all because you may not get another chance.
If you have had to bootstrap, work multiple jobs, or face constant setbacks, you’d know that every opportunity, no matter how small, is significant. If you are getting these tiny breaks in life, you know that that didn't pop out of nowhere or a miracle, you worked every moment for it. Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.
It's also a great reminder to hone your skills, to improve your knowledge, and to always be the best version of yourself or try to be, because when opportunity does present itself, you have this one chance to make the most out of it.
Have a wonderful week ahead everybody!
my dad used to do the 3 days water fast. the earliest seen stories of 3 days and 3 nights without food and water was seen during Queen Esther's time 450 BC, almost 2500 years ago.

interesting. cap table strategy is so important.

Bitcoin makes the best mediator between Brics and USD/global trade currencies. Brics is at 30% global trade and rising.
EU is losing its tact and acting out of desperation perhaps - outcome from taping down energy source from Russia, cutting off clean nuclear energy, suffering from ego and heavily influenced by the US - all of which is backfiring.
Most people will view problems as negative element. Very few will view problems as opportunities. You are among the few and you got this right.
You got this.
you are right tho, i agree with you. I just took one step back in finding users before facing the user dilemma lol.
But it also got me thinking that maybe Nostr is this big makerspace or hackerspace for any creators to come + build + find own users + grow the business.
And that would mean it would need more creators, more devs, more entrepreneurs + designer + genius like you, more builders idk.
Maybe there are many ways to define Nostr and this is one way.
As I was reading through the hackers era, punk era, the rise of DIY movement which lead to the open source movement, one part that struck me the most is finding your own users. And I think that's kinda important as it is ultimately your project and you have your own target users in mind (you as in any creator, developer).
So say if you want to charge a bomb for it, if you find users willing to pay for it, then so be it. If you want to make an entire anime version of your client and you find users for it, so be it. If you want a cooking focused client and you can configure the relay as such and there are users for it, so be it.
Ultimately, you can build anything you want and if you can convince users to use it, who's to stop you.
thanks for the tips!
I need beef lessons - how do you pick good meat ? Thus far i've winged it on marbling,1.5cm thick, grass fed if there is any.
I stocked up on a kilo of flank because that's all the market had left last week, but my brother said it may not be as tasty. They all look the same to me lol
And how are you marinating / cooking this ? I just use butter, salt and pepper and fry 2-3 mins each side.
this is very sad, 2 people who stood up against wrong doings in this world died one day after the next.
Reading up on open source hardwares, and the rise of makers movement. The 70s and 80s era were the rise of hacker culture and the punk movement, moving away from mainstream ideologies.
While they were different subcultures, they shared common values of DIY ethos, anti-establishment sentiments, and a desire for autonomy and self-expression. Both movements encouraged experimentation, creativity, and questioning of authority and played a heavy role in promoting innovations.
If you were to rewind to the 50s era post WW2, inventors had to patent their creations and license them to manufacturers as setting up their own manufacturing was too expensive. As a result, inventors typically didn't establish businesses around their inventions but earned royalties through licensing agreements instead.
One of the best examples of the 70’s open source era where inventions rose is the Apple story as told by Steve Wozniak in the book ‘Founders at Work’ by Jessica Livingston.
During his highschool days, he badly wanted a computer but apparently computers at that time were as expensive as a house? So his dad said no.
He couldn't afford to build it on his own either so he would read up journals and manuals and design them on paper (and redesign on paper to optimize and simplify it)
He had some hobbyist gigs and eventually worked with HP in designing calculators. When he first popped into the Homebrew Computer Club which was a precursor to the open source hardware club he came across microprocessors and it triggered his desire to build computers all over again.
He couldn't afford the Intel one which was $400 so he got the cheapest from Motorola for $20, connected to his TV as a monitor. His most expensive gadget was his keyboard for $60.
He would bring his schematics and share them at the computer club and tell people they can make their own computers really cheap - but the club had more SW than HW folks and didn't pick up.
He tried to sell it to HP twice but they said no, and even gave a letter to emphasize that no.
Eventually Steve Jobs found orders for it - 150 orders, small but enough for magazines to pick it up and make comparisons. The name Apple stood out and the rest was history.
Fast forward to today the internet democratized access to tools for invention and production - raspberry pi, arduino, CAD models, 3D printer, fab labs, rapid prototyping, makers faire, hackathons.
The world is still figuring out the balance of makers but I think there is def more opportunities to rise in today’s world compared to what it was
