The way zaps works is when you send a lightning payment to the server there is a nostr bot account on that server that publishes a zap receipt event that says how much was zapped. Nothing is stopping that server from saying there was a zap that actually didn’t happen or lying about the amount.
Does anybody know anything about the shape of the FedNow API? I’m guessing it’s very hush hush at this point but it can’t hurt to ask. In my eyes knowing what the API looks like is the only way to separate fact from FUD.
I agree but also we should be wary of creating a “trust graph” because it would probably end up with “trusted” zap servers which would disincentive people from running their own servers
Fair I can’t fake zaps on your post but I could fake zaps on my own posts
Actually you can fake zaps pretty easily
Security recommendations to not run containers as root are outdated now that it’s relatively easy to run the docker daemon in rootless mode. Always being root is one of the great joys of containerization and partly what gives it its development efficiency. Security people please don’t take that away from developers.
Whole Foods hot bar is underrated
A message for those of you who pushed for masks and vaccines: We know who you are. We forgive you but we will never forget.
With regulations specifically. Counter away in the public debate
That assumption is actually correct. But that’s exactly why we should not try to counter online misinformation
Also I just thought that it might be the case that the actually theory of everything is dead simple like A=A or just “42” but we’re not smart enough to deduce how everything else follow from that
Right? I think the effectiveness of a species math would have a massive role in how successful that species is overall
There might be some objective way to perfectly describe physical reality but I suspect that it would be completely incomprehensible to humans. That theoretical description might exist in the same way as a rock but that’s not what math is. That description would likely not resemble math at all
Is math invented or discovered? I find myself in the invented camp these days. Math doesn’t “exist” in the same way as a physical object like a rock. If humans never existed math would not exist but a rock still would. Also math is not as objective as most people think it is. It’s our collective best attempt to describe the complex phenomena that we observe but it’s not the thing itself.
AI is being setup as the perfect scapegoat for the next big crash. Just like Covid, it can be cast as an invisible enemy except this time the internet is where it spreads. It can be used to explain currency collapses and justify draconian measures like the RESTRICT act and CBDCs. I really hope I’m not the only one seeing this.
Brave to post that here
What? Naw. A P/E of 147 is definitely way too low. It’s AI we’re talking about here
