Thanks for the book recommendation. It’s ordered. I enjoy my plebeian understanding of these things.
Haha good luck, i liked it because its like quantum mechanics with all the physics stripped out. Quantum information distills the essence of what computation means in our universe.
its because we’ve only figured out how to build like 6 quantum algorithms 😆 the overview of each one is quite interesting though. Shors is most impressive.
I mean utilizing quantum variants of Fourier transforms lead to Shors algorithm which breaks cryptography, wouldn’t be surprised if there was clever compression techniques. Downsize is trying to build quantum algorithms is like skipping rocks on a lake and hoping the correct answer is encoded at the peaks of the wavefronts. Its hard, ive tried. quantum computer science by mermin is really good for anyone who wants to deep dive into this stuff. Some light reading.
It’s a neat idea but would be hard to pull off and keep consistency. It also ties in consciousness which I am not a fan of. If it is a simulation, all it seems right now is that the 3d propagation of quantum waves we see are encoded efficiently on some distant 2d boundary. Then again this is all based on AdS/CFT which isn’t even a theory of our universe (but may be close somehow), so the story could be more complicated. we’re just ants inside a giant machine that we barely understand.
Very bizarre perspective. If anything this made me want to increase engagement of discovery and wonder of our reality. what better way to increase wonder than to reverse engineer reality to figure out how it works? I was getting chatgpt to help me understand quantum compression algorithms to see if there is any way to compress many quantum states (aka tensor networks). I even found a few papers of people thinking of these same ideas
Would be very easy to make
if you think about it the holographic principle is telling us that the universe actually running in a compressed format. There are way too many quantum states to simulate at once, so for the universe to run efficiently these states need to be compressed. The holographic principle makes this explicit: all of the information in the 3d bulk is encoded on some 2d boundary of this space. What happens when there is too much information in a small region of space and it can’t be compressed further? Boom, black hole. Neat hack universe engineers.

I just landed a new feature in strfry: "strfry router"
Docs: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry/blob/master/docs/router.md
I kind of think of this like "nginx for nostr". It lets you manage many up/down/both streams to remote relays using a single process and config file, and you can edit that config file without interrupting existing streams (mostly).
You can also use nostr filters and/or plugins to filter the traffic in both up and down directions, independently.

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s so is there any sort of ‘how to’ when it comes to this site? I see Zapps and nostr and this and that. No clue what that is lol
site? What site are you using
What would you choose:
- Purple Yam Latte
- Sugar Plum Latte
- Purple Sweet Potato Latte
- Purple Taro Latte
- Lavender Latte
Really, I wanted to see how many images you can upload in one post on here. Six is impressive. I didn't want to overwhelm, so I stopped at six. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s what’s the max number of images we can upload here? 
as many as you want

when I last looked at it it was full of eth people and shitcoin scammers
sounds like a good time
without a doubt
Best selfhosted alternative to google docs? Looked for shared excel support.

Disable the permission in ios settings as a workaround for now
I asked paul miller to clarify and he did not
yahoo had better discovery than nostr in 1994 
never been. Is it a lost cause at this point? 
I don’t believe in dealbreakers. I think there is always more goodsides to people that can outweigh any perceived negatives. If something your partner does upsets you then thats just an opportunity for you to make them a better person. If they care about you they will make the effort to change and improve. Dealbreakers are giving up before even trying.
I thought this was adam back
clients, nodes, peers. servers become dumb proxies/routers/relays
Its costing me $500 a month to maintain a server on damus’ bootstrap relay list, any relay I add to it ends up going away, probably because they cant handle the costs and traffic
I think servers should just become routers/relays, with data and logic stored within nodes/peers. I never thought this was viable until a realized how well nostr relays worked as a NAT workaround.
this is just a half baked idea but there might be something to it.
I like the store-and-forward functionality of nostr without the permanence. Some kind of p2p protocol with state. Maybe im talking crazy. Ill stop now.
