What's on the Internet stays on the Internet. Act accordingly. But also get used to humans being fallible.
Here's Thomas, causing me to notice Damus doesn't check signatures about 6 months before this other security team. Will's fix was just to add a dialog that says don't connect to relays that you don't "trust" and Jack said "Everything comes down to trade offs. Important that it is ultimately verifiable, and that if you require it you could use another client (if the option doesn’t exist to turn it on/off)."

Then here's Vitor fixing the same problem for amethyst same day.

Anyway, just sayin' .. told ya. Nostr without signatures is an abomination, I don't care how slow it is.
I was under the assumption to interact with signed content and while I see a performance challenge, not checking the signatures at all cannot be the solution. I'd be fine with a background thread checking signatures, especially of not explicitly trusted relays. So if I explicitly trust relay.x to check signatures, the client could check events from relay.y for either having come from relay.x, too or in a deferred manner check signatures and if any invalid signature is found, flag the relay as bad mark events from it as not checked until they are checked.

I think you will need LLMs to outpace the context window growth with specs.

I'm still reluctant to talk about personal stuff.
Last night over Odesa, a Ukrainian L3Harris VAMPIRE SAM system successfully shot down a Russian Shahed attack drone using a laser-guided APKWS rocket.
This is the first footage in months showing a Vampire intercept, confirming that U.S. deliveries of APKWS rockets to Ukraine have resumed.
The Vampire plays a crucial role in Ukraine’s defense, enabling forces to destroy Russian attack drones with a far more cost-effective interceptor.

Glad to see you don't actually zap randomly.

Thank you for being generous with your time, building the tools we need to make nostr a success.
I got screwed by Taxi drivers at airports more than once. Admittedly I also got screwed by Uber drivers at an airport but only once ;)
Hotels? I don't know. If you are travelling alone I can see the case but when you are shopping for a group of 10, AirBnB all the time!
I must admit I don't remember that conversation. Wish I did.
The plan mode is obsolete with horizon-beta. It doesn't touch files if it's not ready to even in act mode.
And horizon-beta disappeared. Could it be that gpt-5 is much slower than horizon-beta? Or was opening the flood gates just drawing much more load?
And I got a weird error (just a red X) when trying to do a query with "horizon-beta".

How natural is sugar when 10k years ago there was no fruit in the world with the sugar content of today's fruits. When you further extract and concentrate that natural sugar, is it still natural?
Meat production aims for tender meat and fast growth. There's no carbs in meat. And yes, there is a good chance that domesticated cows are less healthy than wild animals but I never heard of anything except for hormones and antibiotics fed to cows for growth. Genetically, life stock might grow fast but has essentially the same composition as other animal species.
Pineapple is not the scam. Only the claim that it's generally healthy.
Fruits were not optimized to be healthy but to be high in sugar and low in fiber.
Looks weird. As if it detected multiple installations with the same app name but differing app id?
Sun Tzu warned: ‘Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.’ In war, it prevents desperate resistance. In policy, it creates a two-tier web.
When governments tighten controls but leave escape hatches, the tech‑savvy route around them while everyone else absorbs the costs. That widens digital inequality, mutes democratic feedback, and trades real security for theater.
If we care about freedom, the answer isn’t just to cultivate workarounds for the few—it’s to insist on rights for the many:
- Privacy and end‑to‑end encryption by default
- Device ownership (unlock, repair, install)
- Transparent, proportionate laws with oversight and sunsets
- Open standards
Resilience comes from empowering users and building trustworthy infrastructure, not selective loopholes. Don’t just leave an escape—remove the walls.

It looks like a fun exercise to come up with this but many basic assumptions look totally arbitrary. Did I get that right? The idea is to have an automated preparation mission to get the target planet livable before the generational ship gets there? The time scales here are so vast. So robots can prepare the target planet but still the ship's population is doing basic chores like agriculture? They allot more people to agriculture than we allot here on earth right now? I just scrolled through so maybe that's just to have people some purpose.
I would filter it by my follows and maybe their follows and would want to know who voted what. No need for sats.
Pretty wild but "isolated peoples" always makes me think of the Fermi Paradox. Are we the isolated people here on earth? What gives one the right to forbid others the contact? Maybe some isolated peoples want to remain isolated but probably not all members of those peoples want that. What about that who want to know what's out there? What's with their rights?

With Equities, Real Estate, Cars and Art you can argue about their monetary premium but with Bonds, Money and Gold ... these should be direct competitors to Bitcoin. Imagine buying Bonds when you can buy Bitcoin? The issuer literally has to promise to outperform Bitcoin. And Gold and Fiat ... Gresham's law applies directly. That's $440T / $2T = x220 from here? That should be enough to get Bitcoin to $2.5million in today's fiat.

Most wallet apps claim to be the most secure, probably because clients search for "the most secure". What do you want to do about that?
I was surprised to have found really quality ones made of plastic. My kid didn't destroy it in a long time. It was twisted up many times but always, removing the knots fixed it to perfection. The metal ones used to sit uneven after the first small accident.

Hmm ... the trailer looks intriguing (a genere I like: Zombies) but also a bit low quality with no hint at anything novel or deep.
TWD in the later seasons completely gets away from being about zombies to being a post apocalyptic society building exercise with the protagonists trying to mimic the US institutions cause meh, whatever.

I'm a bit irritated by this from "War Monitor". Clearly this man is sick but not part of any war. This is not why I follow this account and hope it remains an exception.
Interviews like that usually start with networks desperately looking for people who would tell them shocking stuff on camera for money. He probably got $300 for the gig and looked into LLMs yesterday.
