I'm making music again! Will drop some old original stuff on nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg soon and maybe more mixtape stuff as blossom file...

Woud love to do some collabs with nostriches too

This was recorded before COVID:

Feels like a different life...

What are your favorite subreddits? How do we get that content on Nostr?

Personally I'd love to see content from subs like:

https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/

https://www.reddit.com/r/makinghiphop/

time for some nostr stickers ;)

💯 Nostr is the open digital substrate in which an ecology of AIs will evolve. Pubkeys will be the membranes delineating organism from environment. And the flow of energy backed money (bitcoin via lightning network) will represent metabolism.

I published this >1 year ago, but still generally agree with the thesis: https://hivemind.vc/ai/

So far I've been excited by projects like Open Agents, Unleashed Chat, Project Alexandria, and DVMS. What else should I be watching? nostr:npub1tlv67m7xvlyplzexuynmfpguvyet0sjffce3y8vu0suuyuwgzauqjk7fdm nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 nostr:npub1m3xdppkd0njmrqe2ma8a6ys39zvgp5k8u22mev8xsnqp4nh80srqhqa5sf nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft nostr:npub1mgvwnpsqgrem7jfcwm7pdvdfz2h95mm04r23t8pau2uzxwsdnpgs0gpdjc

Is anyone building an open nostr data set formatted for fine tuning llms? For inspiration: https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceFW/blogpost-fineweb-v1

Different benefits at different stages

While you're in the cold water, you have extreme connection with physical reality. It doesn't matter what else is going on in your life, you're 100% there (during winter it feels a bit like you're entering cardiac arrest haha)

After the cold + sauna, immense relaxation. Like this very deep calm despite whatever external conditions. The contrast between extreme heat on the skin and this deep cold you feel internally is magic

It also seems to be great exercise. Purely anecdotal (no research), but the cold seems to burn off excess fat and a long hot sauna feels like you did cardio

I'm hooked

[New Pod] Ideas from the Edge: Music, Discovery, eCash, and Identity with Tony Giorgio

https://fountain.fm/episode/BZEqpFxBFzeLGgZUV177

This was a fun one! @tony and I cover a lot of ground, including:

- Music and its role in society: “He who controls the music controls the mind”

- Why the ad model for monetizing the Internet is not only a panopticon, but also extremely ineffective

- How to find under appreciated long tail Internet content

- How to improve Nostr on-boarding for noobs

- The role of the curator on Nostr

- Permissionless identity creation means evolution can happen much faster

- How Tony uses AI

- How to live a healthy life with (and without) technology; camping is great - in theory

- The balance between contributing to open source and building a company

- Lightning Network as the final settlement layer and Nostr Wallet Connect as the async message layer

- eCash and why Tony is bullish on Fedimint

- Fedimint as its own consensus network

- Nostr evolving into identity for the Internet

- Nostr as the fire hose of raw data - you can build anything with it

- Open source vs. closed AI development

This is my understanding: a web service reachable via Nostr

ie I only need to share an npub for you to find the service

Huge milestone: First demo of Nostr Web Services (NWS) bringing TCP to Nostr. With NWS, you can host any existing web application on Nostr without having to use DNS or even announce your public IP to the world, simply by sharing your service's npub (or nprofile).

Try it out the demo yourself. Here is a Cashu test mint running with NWS. Let's use curl to retrieve the mint's information. The request travels from your computer to the public NWS entry relay, then through nostr to the service's NWS exit relay. At the other end is a Cashu mint with HTTPS encryption.

```

curl -s -x socks5h://relay.8333.space:8882 https://nprofile1qqs8a8nk09fhrxylcd42haz8ev4cprhnk5egntvs0whafvaaxpk8plgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuwpnxvejuumsv93k2g6k9kr/v1/info --insecure | jq

```

I can't stress this enough: THE MINT RUNS BEHIND HTTPS!

The NWS entry relay can't read your traffic. It's encrypted. We can host public entry relays that can be used by anyone.

This means we can plug the entire internet to it 🌐.

Let's plug it into Cashu for now. Nutshell wallet supports socks5 proxies (that's how it uses Tor). By setting the public entry relay as the proxy, the wallet can now connect to a mint's npub/nprofile and communicate with it via NWS.

This is going to be so freaking cool. And it's going to be a lot more useful than just for Cashu. There are still bugs and issues that need to be ironed out but the code is coming out soon. Watch this space.

This is big 🤯

Nostr is not for social media. It's the ENTIRE web 🌐

As the old web drowns in waves of AI generated spam, only Nostr will survive. A web without centralized choke points. A web with authenticity where every note is signed. A web that's machine payable by default.

Buckle up amigos. We're sailing to the new world much faster than I realized. Feeling lucky to be alive to witness and be part of this! 𓅦 🚀 ⚡⛵

This is the rule of thumb I've always used as well. I doubt Nostr is 99/1 lurker ratio just yet (though we probably get there at scale), but lurkers are still probably the majority. What's your best guess at how many weekly active users just lurk/read?
