Was a pretty good article! nostr:npub17zk2weur62r0t4endvfg3z84muljn8s8r9e74up72gqfrh8rxphqlqm5zy nostr:note1t8xlq6jmqx4uhyjzuuxdja0wlvnu24vhgn4r8l7z4kxd9pym8kqsajm39w

Im afraid

i read this as shaving and was concerned

you will own stuff and you will be happy.

My original thought experiment from a couple years ago was: could you create one of those laptop screen protectors where the polarization encoding was a kind of one-time pad so that only you can see the screen with a special set of glasses. So many optical effects are quantum mechanical wave interference stuff, so I have always thought of using optical effects to make it hard for classical computers to decode things.

How all of this plays out in practice would be serious research endeavours i’d imagine 😅

Thats where I just found it! Listening to the quanta podcast

Random idea combining #physics and #bitcoin:

I was trying to think of a way to encode ecash so you can send it over the public internet but in a way that could not be swiped by computers, only humans.

One idea I had was to tie a physical process into the decoding the qrcode: Encode the ecash into some complex pattern where if you using some kind of overlapping filter it would generate a reconstructed image of the qrcode.

A long time ago I was trying to think of some polarizing filter scheme to do something similar. Maybe you could sell a physical polarization filter with some kind of moire pattern for decoding the image on your screen.

I like the idea of using optical phenomena to make it harder for a computer to simulate and decode. It would be a form of optical steganography(Is this a field?).

Not practical at all and not sure if it’s doable, but it’s a fun thought experiment.

Well it took them like 100 years to find this one

TIL last year they found a single shape that tiles aperiodically

It shouldn’t be that hard to create a “proxy mode” for noteguard, so that it can sit in front of any relay to enable advanced functionality: rate limiting, forwarding, whitelisting, kind filtering, etc. its like an antivirus for your relay 🤠

getting there :D

not true, damus maintains a fork and is developing it

Just finished the forwarder for noteguard. Here’s a demo of it forwarding notes to another strfry instance. I have it behind the rate limit filter so that it will only forward notes subject to previous noteguard filters.

The basic idea is that the damus relay will use this to forward notes to our push notification relay. You could also use this to build a high availability setup for strfry where it forwards notes to multiple instances.

Nerd demo:

We got around that limitation recently thanks to new stem cell tech

They are catching on. May need to go back into hiding again soon.

we would have to make a spec that gives a hint that clients should render them inline. There is no spec on where you put images at the moment.

yeah they will see that when they try to query it, i want something myself that i can use for sending notes privately that can notify people. We are also going to e2e encrypt the notifications so not even apple can see the contents. Right nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8 ? 😁

you can just get a nostr.build account

if you open the account in damus you can use the first aid feature in settings to fix it

I don’t think you can enable nip-42 with strfry plugins, but maybe it would be interesting to generalize strfry’s plugin system to send arbitrary events

I think that's only available on primal android. should work in damus ios and nostur (I think?)

breaking out equations and code to keep the ladies away at the bar so i can focus

noice

GM note enjoyers

not sure what you mean. why would it be persisted between nodes, which nodes?

I’ve been doing this before and after I took elliott to the park. Don’t worry i am efficient i wasn’t just doing this all day

what features do you miss the most from amethyst ?

if you follow someone it should show a purple icon next to their name. this is a trusted signifier of sorts

I can't remember if we added that. I know we do it for replies, not sure if we do it for things you're quoting yet...

Glad to hear! Once we upgrade damus ios to use nostrdb for caching everything, it will be much faster

We have to decide if logging in with nostr is a desire-able thing to have. The ecosystem seems to be moving to passkeys, i don’t see why we necessarily need npub identities for login. There are many reasons you wouldn’t want that: privacy, etc.

yes

You need https://damus.io/purple/login to get the purple testflight link

hmm bleh I may have to install ubuntu somewhere to see what's up

nope

you can have an identicon or something if its missing, most relays do have an icon, if they don't they usually have a favicon

yeah no testflight needed for this, just download and compile with `cargo build --release`

probably 2-3 weeks for alpha ?

desktop nostr is wild. I have always been mobile... rip productivity. oh wait this is my job.

I just queried it and got an EOSE on a missing note

I just added replies last night, so it should work. we should probably have it select a user by default as well... going to do that now.

I believe that was the original intention of the User-Agent header in browsers as well, but it ended up being abused for filtering and tracking clients

I like to think I know a decent amount of physics to at least understand a lot of things, be even eric went into confusing directions with his analogies. just found it exhausting because it was all over the place. couldn't get through it.
