This is starting to make me angry 😤😂. I don’t see a link? So many times now, people will post notes with videos and links and I don’t see anything. nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955

yeah I agree, he makes hit videos like this so not sure how much you can trust it.
he did make some interesting points which will make me more skeptical of lex going forward.
the whole him flipping out on the printer lady thing was a huge red flag, like people who yell at waiters. not a good look.
Although fridman man a video refuting many of the points. So who knows.
The thing that happened to nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe is enough for me. I can’t stand disingenuous people and not going to give my attention to support them.
yeah the fact that he just gave a public lecture at MIT once just so he could say he went to MIT is pretty lame. and his one paper on self driving cars was just an Elon/Tesla simp paper to make Tesla look good that wasn't peer reviewed.
lots of interesting facts that make him a bit more shady then I would have thought otherwise
this took me down a rabbit hole. "the many lies of lex fridman"

why can't their agents use chatgpt too. seems unfair 😆
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s does lnsocket-rs support TOR connections?
not sure might need to add that
its there in tablet mode we just need to add the button on the toolbar
*see, we’re open guys *
I am thrilled to announce I have joined the board of the newly formed Payjoin Foundation.

damus lightning node has been in this state for the past 7 years. not entirely bad.
Gemini pro seems a lot less retarded
ok I'm happy with this for now... was only a small detour from the main quest.

gpt5 thinking feels the same or worse than o3. wtf is this.

got channels rendering, not sure if i'm happy with the design, but at least I can visually see my liquidity now

you can think of this as using your core-lightning node as a super secure endpoint for managing your entire bitcoin business.
think btcpayserver or lnbits without needing to run lnbits or btcpayserver
you can create client software for your lightning node like how we create nostr client software for relays.
the entire goal of this is to make it easier to run lightning nodes. what if all of the power was in the client like we do with nostr? what if you didn't need to run 10 different pieces of software to operate a business out your node?
you could create a whole storefront app without even needing a web server or btcpay server, you just talk to directly to lightning nodes over the lightning protocol.
this first app is the most obvious one, a lightning node dashboard:
- view/manage channels
- view balances
- view invoices
- view node accounting (bookkeeper)
- use your node as a wallet (no NWC needed)
- view channel peers
- buy channel liquidity via lightning-based liquidity ads
- initiate dual funded channels with friends
- lightning peer visualizer (like lnvis)
- view and manage your bitcoin-core wallet via a core-lightning extension that adds bitcoin-core rpcs to core-lightning, making them accessible over commando and therefore this dashboard (i wrote a plugin that does this)
but there can be many more different types of apps using this method.

who reads docs
yeah this is just a much simpler way without needing lots of extra software and web servers. if your lightning node is already hosting a port at home why not just use that for fetching?
unfortunately lnd does not currently support commando (custom rpc over lightning), but they should
whatever fits your narrative!
and we don’t need the complex web stack. We can build native apps again that are fast
i think the point is that Nostr affords client choice and therefore enables this for those who want it.
yes its planned in nostrdb, as well as cached wot scores based on incoming contact lists. Like i said its the best you can do, other than hyperloglog counts
eigencentrality > follow counts
google figured this out decades ago with the web and pagerank.
lets stop copying centralized metrics that don’t make sense on a decentralized network
clients are not meant to trust relays in any way, i don’t see how you could even trust follow counts from relays in the outbox model.
You of course have a trusted index, but indexers abuse those to promote their friends
yes but primal is not a nostr client. I am building a nostr client.
because nostr is not an api, and there is no follows_count. If you want to propose that as a protocol extension then by all means, but most nostr devs already find kind3 contact lists problematic so it’s unlikely to happen.
as for caching counts when you download lists, yes thats the best you can do. but considering it is so easy to fake follow counts i don’t think its worth it or meaningful.
A more meaningful metric in a decentralized network is eigencentrality (like pagerank but for web of trust)
