Like my soul is floating above and staring at my body

I live a normal life.

Eating, gym, staring at tree, work, then rotate

And feel a special type of sadness that I’m not living in this world but staring it from outside

:) ☺️

Forty thousand Americans die on government roads every year, and nobody holds anyone accountable. Yet when libertarians suggest private alternatives, the response is always the same: "But who will build the roads?" The question itself is more interesting than people realize. It reveals not the impossibility of markets, but the depth of the state's success in making people unable to imagine alternatives to its failures. nostr:naddr1qqgxywfsxccxgdmxxscngcnx8qcnyq3qklkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qxpqqqp65wu8l4h8

This place was recommended by a friend. The absurdity brought me here, but the food is pretty good.

Bitcoiners, let's turn this meme into reality. Stack bricks, stack sats. ₿

Who is ready to create it with a Geyser page? 👇 😎

You all recognize this meme. The odd thing about this meme, is that my grandfather, who passed away in 2009, has had this framed in his office since the 1970s. I had no idea.

Two weeks of hardcore performance work on Quartz, but now we can import 3GB containing 2.1 million contact list events in 9.4 minutes, *single-threaded* on a Pixel 9, using just a cool, calm, and collected 15MB (yes, MB) of RAM.

That's up to 10,000 events per second per CPU for lighter follow lists and 3,000 events per second on heavier ones.

By import, I mean receive, unzip, parse, string intern, verify, save, and index (SQLite) with individual transactions on write-ahead logging to guarantee DB consistency and match real use cases.

JSON parsing w/ string interning is now pretty much capped by IO and interning at 120,000 events per second per CPU or ~50MB/s per CPU.

JSON Parsing + interning + verifying runs at ~20,000 events per second per CPU or ~30MB/s per CPU.

None of these use SIMD instructions, which are still poorly supported on mobile CPUs.

Nostr is what would happen if you asked a bunch of developers what non-developers might enjoy in a social network, and held back your giggles during the answer, and then said, maintaining a perfectly straight face, ”Yes, work with that”.

If you would have the hard push to leave the EU… Where would you go to live?

Thailand 🤙

Nice! My wife, nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcqyq5xtf970q5rgcdtgrx9ql0gmxxam9ahg8gtp3xnmrwxm53z7fkf7rnat5m, is Moroccan. Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, and parts around. I've still not been to Marrakesh.

What can we build on nostr that can’t be built on centralised systems?

nostr wins if it stops trying to be a twitter clone and starts being the invisible layer underneath apps you actually want to use. like bitchat for location-based messaging, diVine for entertainment, whitenoise for private messaging, zap.stream for streaming, shakespeare for vibe coding, etc.

it wins by unbundling into 50 different apps that all talk to each other, rather than one giant app/corp that traps you. it's all about the ecosystem.

I find it fascinating how some for British accents I'm all like wow I love your accent and others I'm all like what language is that?

In regards to Charlie Kirk's assassination, has anyone thought about crowdsourcing the videos people took at the scene to triangulate the shooter's location based on measurable delays in the audio?

If phone videos from different spots were gathered, they could be synced and the delays in when each mic hears the gunshot (sound travels only ~343 m/s) could be measured.

With as few as 3 - 4 video clips from varied locations (but better accuracy with 10+ video clips), the shot’s origin can be triangulated to within 10 metres. No need to wait for authorities who seem to be playing games or at best plain incompetent. The community could analyse and map this for ourselves.

It’s a little sophisticated but absolutely doable.

No matter how many times I make a BTC transfer and no matter how many times I cross reference the address my ass still puckers!

I feel your pain having to wait to buy a plane ticket!

But when that transaction settles it’s a beautiful moment! Love to see BTC doing its thing flawlessly :)
