Is it just the developer circles I exist in or has "❤️"ing eachother's messages in private chats between dudes become normalised?

I like it, feels like progress.

I still think passkeys are kinda stupid

The non-aggression axiom isn’t a passive philosophy, it’s a direct confrontation with systemic coercion.

Be careful before judging a person or a race for the system they come from

North and South Koreans are the same people, but the systems make one people third world and the other among the richest

Nostr conferences are probably the most un-Nostr thing out there. Nostr users meet up in one *central* location, usually in the US. How about doing a virtual conference instead, spread across all nodes and connected through relays? That would be in the spirit of Nostr, decentralized.

I decided to see if AI could help me with a rust programming issue. I started by looking at Github CoPilot, and that lead me to a few IDEs and after reviewing for rust support I went with JetBrains RustRover.

Well I sicked the A.I. on the problem with "fix with AI". And after 20 seconds or so it changed my code. It applied a naive solution I had already tried. I compiled and got the next error. I went to that error and selected "Fix with AI". Again another naive solution that didn't work. I did this about 5 or 6 times and it never got my code to compile.

I guess I was hoping for too much.

I’m going public.

After years of posting online, I’m done with the anon lifestyle.

My name is Roberto Rios.

I’ve studied macro for 8 years obsessively now, and I’m embarking on the next stage of growth.

Big things coming ⚡️

In the meantime here’s me at the Grand Canyon.

If clients implemented relay feeds you could just go to news.utxo.one to check the news without clogging up your follow feed

Then to catch up on top notes for past few days you could browse algo.utxo.one

Then you go to gm.swarmstr.com and reply GM to everyone today

But sadly you cannot do this on most clients

Just some rambling on the "intellectual dark web"... after watching Piers Morgan have Sean Carroll and Eric Weinstein debate.

I used to think Eric Weinstein was a reasonable and smart person. As I did Sam Harris and Doug Murray and Jordan Peterson. Back around 2016 with the "intellectual dark web". I agreed with them all about identity politics, political correctness, free speech, wokeness, etc.

But all of these people have fallen in my estimation.

Eric Weinstein is embarrassing. Like a child desperately trying to prove he is smart. Sticking to some ideas he had in college but isn't smart enough to put together anymore... desperately trying to make his mark on the world and prove himself. Hoping physics works in a way to make us multiplanetary rather than taking reality for what it is. I watched part of a video of him lecturing to a classroom. Except there were no questions from students, no coughs, no sniffles, no sounds of paper shuffling... I'm pretty sure he was videoing himself lecturing to an empty classroom. And his scatterbrain couldn't keep on any one subject he would say something he thought was deep and profound and then jump to something else without connecting his ideas. And he blames physics gatekeepers for blocking out his ideas. Sad, really sad. He has some great abilities to think out of the box, but too far out and disconnected, pathologically so. His brother Bret is far more healthy. I'm sure his wife has a major stabizing influence on him. He's not always right, but he's can explain himself coherently, his thinking remains connected, and his creativity is properly bounded by logic and reason and data.

Sam Harris I can't even be bothered to critique here. But I don't think he is worthy of being listened to.

Douglas Murray... just listen to his Joe Rogan episode with Dave Smith. I found Dave Smith through that, and I learned who Douglas Murray really is... two improvements in one.

Jordan Peterson started to look bad when he tried to redefine "truth" and redefine everything in terms of Jungian theory and "stories". I think he helped lost young men, to his credit, and I am absolutely on his side about the Canadian law of compelled speech. But he started to fall off my radar when he started tweeting "Glass Gaza", and went on about how great Europe is and European things... and how other cultures essentially suck. And then his latest debate with 20 athiests was enlightening.

Anyhow... the intellectual dark web wasn't really very intellectual. I'm glad they pushed back against the cultural woke nonsense when they did, but each member is not really the intelligent person they might have appeared to be at the time. Never could compete with the intellectual prowess of the new athiests: Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens.

Hum... We don't download it, but we do run a Head request to get the mimetype and then download if it is an image/video. I hope GitHub doesn't could those as downloads...

YHWH is the name of the Jewish god, who claimed to be Elohim (or El), the previous word of god.

The pronounciation of YHWH was apparently kept secret by the high priests and was eventually lost. Nobody knows how it was originally pronounced.

Some have suggested YaHWeH, others say JeHoVaH, but these are just placeholders.

I think it is pronounced YeeHawWooHoo
