yeah, it's a very well known type of fish caught in the waters of eastern australia. tastes pretty good too. and yeah i think the hairstyle got that name from australians, as it was a hugely popular hairstyle. those silly "rat tail" things that jedis have also were hugely popular in australia.
aspiring, crappy austrian artist who caused big problems for poland and france and a bunch of other countries. quite a famous one.
SMS messages are tied to sims. this must be something additional to do with the iOS configuration / apple account you both have.
the quantum fud against bitcoin is an old staple of shitcoiners and nocoiners, but especially shitcoiners.
it's quite nonsensical because schnorr's algorithm, supposedly enabled by the use of extremely expensive to keep cool qbits to be computed in a relatively short time period, is for reversing the transformation that turns a secret key into a public key
the public key of a bitcoin address (which is a ripemd160 hash, with only 20 bytes, 12 bytes are completely removed, the rest is scrambled with a still known to be secure hash function) only appears on the record after it's spent.
this is why it is commonly said you should not reuse bitcoin addresses. the pubkey and the secret key are mathematically related, and according to the theory of Schnorr, can be reversed. thus, once a UTXO is spent, the key that controls that address is now vulnerable to a quantum schnorr algorithm attack.
a lot of hype goes on in shitcoin land about how they are using supposedly "quantum resistant" public keys, and it's notable that basicaly anything that uses schnorr's signature algorithm, meaning taproot, nostr keys, musig2, and all of the shitcoins using the closely related edwards 25519 curve and the signature algorithm which is almost identical to schnorr, are not vulnerable to this attack anyway.
so, yeah. already, if people would just git r done and move to taproot addresses, this conversation would be over already. not only that, there has been some wallets that generated vulnerable keys, via signatures with poor entropy, that have been hacked. but these were trivial attacks and yielded nothing, and the signatures of this wallet are relatively easy to identify across the ledger.
oh yeah and not to forget, microsoft loves to fud bitcoin with quantum schnorr hype
it's nonsense. you can't quantum reverse a hashed and much smaller 20 byte address back into a secret key, without brute forcing at least on average half of the field, ie, 128 bits, this is where you always hear the "12x bits of security" regarding elliptic curve signatures.
once that address has been spent though, you have a valid target for a quantum crack.
what's the lesson here?
don't reuse addresses on legacy or segwit. prefer to use taproot. and stop listening to quantum fudsters, who are just one of the many latest snake oil vendors of this time.
like, that they are in the business of lying, cheating and stealing?
i wouldn't know how to become friends with them. they eat bugs and worms, and are very flighty and evasive, they fly low and on the ground they have this way they run that is really comical, head down, like the upper part of their body forms a flat line from head to tail, and most of the time if you get within about 4m of them they dart off.
i probably should read it again tho. i think the last and first time i read it i was 18 years old, in 1994.
my english teacher gave our class the option on a book report assignment. nobody cared. i said 1984. teacher said "no, not that book, specifically because you asked". this was what radicalised me. couldn't get more blatant that i had just read a book about the world this prick came from.
"and he realised, that he loved big brother" that part.
you would not go back. he already went out to the proles, he would have gone to the wilderness after that. i seem to recall there was a great deal of hints at the idea that the society was entirely contained and controlled to the point where nobody scarcely saw any more than their own neighbourhood.
no, i mean the part just before he gets shot in the back of the head! lol that is the end of the story. the rest is appendix.
i mean, i'm sure everyone in this thread has read the book.
as if you would go back. you'd be off searching for the plains of silence like mad max. not only was there outside of the cities of the system, where there were enclaves of proles, there was wilderness that nobody visited. and it was kinda implied that none of the wars were actually real. that basically everyone was a prisoner in the urban settlements they lived in.
I never read Jude before.
the 2001 translation is lucid. and oh look. Enoch
well, you'd have to interpret the meaning of each kind to decide how they would be tagged. some might be one, some two, some three facets of the design.
like what nostr:npub1l5sga6xg72phsz5422ykujprejwud075ggrr3z2hwyrfgr7eylqstegx9z has been doing building indexes and document segments has done with several types, there is a case of several kinds that are really part of one document.
and in other cases, kinds can actually pertain to several kinds of documents, all connected to the one kind, but they have several formats related to them.
yeah, simple example:
kind 1 events
you have the root second field in the tag for the OP
you have the mentions (p tags) that point to past known events related to the thread
so, you already have two distinct types of documents in the kind 1, the root, and the reply type.
then, additionally, you can also refer to these in other 1 events that are either root or reply kind 1s, that refer to other kind ones, called "quotes" and "reposts".
well, you'd have to interpret the meaning of each kind to decide how they would be tagged. some might be one, some two, some three facets of the design.

til:
annunaki is from anu na ki, anu is the god of heaven, ki is the earth, and anunaki means the people born of this coupling
this is the same as what is described in Genesis (all versions) and Enoch talking about ... well, enoch goes into quite some detail about this. but the point is that the descendants of these "annunaki" are among us even today.
the greeks described it with different names, titania and ouranos, and gaia, gaia is the "earth" and titania was the mother of the titans, or the atlantean people
they are basically talking about the same thing, this happened about 15000 years ago. also in the book of jasher you can read quite a detailed description that sounds a lot like adam (and his study partner eve) were invited to be students in an agricultural research/education facility, a university, that they called the garden of eden.
then there is the "war in heaven" and next thing you know there is all the empires and kingdoms in the middle east, enslaving the people to work the fields and produce the beer and bread for the gods. since that's what the governments they formed claimed to be.
i find the part of this video that gives the impression as though the impactors of the post-pole-shift/geomagnetic/solar superflare/micronova disasters tedious, because ... simply, this phenomenon CAUSES the formation of impactors. and of course the legacy continues, the whole asteroid belt is composed of these small to medium sized big rocks, mostly under a kilometer in diameter. this is not the centre of the story. they cannot drive the ocean over most of the earth. that could only happen if the earth's crust slips.
anyway.
i need to finish watching the rest of this.
i'm also now hmmmmm about both the catholic church and the order of freemasons. (not particularly down on either side but a lot of stuff about illuminati and free masons and the whole fraud of baphomet and all this stuff, and omg the amount of crazy things you can draw further from that).
anyhow. i made the AI write me code and the AI couldn't make the code test properly. so, haha. lol. it could do a simple fetch by ID after i gave it most of the material how to store events by ID. but it can't do a filter, based on the indexes i designed for it.
that's fine, really, i probably could have implmented the algorithm myself in the time if i hadn't been watching this video lol. tomorrow i will do that.
the rest of my evening will be this video and then i'm gonna hit the sack
they are deliberately designed to be elaborate to prevent ASIC production
they can generally understand if you can't roll well, it's more about the vowels that makes it hard to understand.
the hardest part is the rolled R, for me it was anyway. i did eventually get used to it, most southern and eastern european languages have it.
bulgarian's voicing rules makes it so you don't have to stop between syllables at all. in dutch they have similar rules but bulgarian takes it to an extreme.
ah, with the slivers of nuts through it.
yeah, all of that shit is so disgusting tho seriously. i mean, pure diabeetus
also, regarding quic, and TCP itself - this is for short message interactive protocols predominantly. not even as slow as IRC chat messages, faster than this. think collaborative document protocols.
for threaded forums, completely useless and irrelevant
for chats, pretty much not relevant to use this kind of low latency interactive socket transport
it's only for control interfaces between servers, really.
i mean, sure, there is no problem to use HTTP/3 over QUIC transparently in many languages already anyway. i think it should be just negotiated in the http headers, or better still, different ports/schemes (same thing, really).
from a database implementation perspective, the kind field creates an extra factor in a factorial combination of fields that the user can search on, that's why i want to do away with it.
kind specifies a protocol - the combination of an application, and an encoding, right? all messages need this anyway. mimetype: text/plain would be all you would need to describe kind 1 notes. other things might be more complex, like long form, you would want to have text/markdown or text/asciidoc or text/pdf or something, but again, you would have to put these somewhere anyway, it's not like it would be logical to leave out the document type. most event kinds are just document types, some include encoding, some include application/protocol stuff.
so, i'm just saying, kind is mostly redundant, and even already some event kind specs already are redundant by having a kind, as well as these more detailed things in the tags that are part of the kind definition.
65536 possible encodings/document types/applications is very restrictive and not at all future proof.
yeah, that is precisely the use case i see it being for. the idea i see is that you store the document as unsigned collection of these events, that originates in an asciidoc master version. there needs to be a bidirectional codec between the master and storage format, and the rest is handled by standard git commits, and because the document is already segmented neatly, there should be very few chances of several people working on different paths having a merge conflict issue, but it can be fixed i guess. probably just to poll the log in case a user is editing a section of the document that has been updated in the repo.
git itself, for actual signed nostr events tho. so simple. everything is already atomic, there can't be conflicts, although there might be a problem with forks.
everyone's metabolism is crinkled in different ways
until a few years ago i constantly had a problem of excess thermogenesis. made me a pariah in social situations, i couldn't have showered often enough to not be sweaty. i know my liver is a he-man of a liver which explains a lot of things. i've beaten his ass pretty bad in the last 20 years tho. i'm giving him some TLC these days. a little, anyway.
carnitine has a definite effect on increasing ketosis and thus also in general energy utilization. i don't know the details of the suspected mechanisms but i know that's a major selling point for it, you can find carnitine and NAC in most body building supplement suppliers catalogs.
the N-acetyl ester is just more bioavailable form of carnitine, for similar reasons that diacetyl morphine is more bioavailable than morphine (the brand name "heroin" is literally the same modification of morphine as NAC is to carnitine). of course, backyard chemists can't get access to the easy reagent for doing this, there is other ways involving halo-substituted acetyls and such.
in my opinion, satoshi is doing this. whoever is watching the movements of these addresses, what's the bet they end up mixed into dozens of coinjoins and payjoins and various other random patterns and maybe even some certain people suddenly get a big wad of sats from who knows where in the future. probably not right away, but it's gonna happen. you know it's gonna happen. satoshi is still with us. satoshi is a buddha.
or, someone may have found his wallet files. or maybe he is still around...
quantum cracking wallet keys is the lowest probability explanation.
the thing is, he did use a secure cryptosystem. the ripemd160 address hash addresses it's literally 96 bits of brute forcing there, that is well over 1000 years worth of work with current tech (by which i mean all computers, and all computers added to that projected outwards until that amount of time, which is very optimistic anyway), to pass the "50% odds" mark.
friends do this
my cat is constantly mooching for cuddles, and poking his head and sniffing and licking things that i did not consent him to bump, sniff or lick.
so, naturally, he also mostly puts up with it when i harass him with some smooching also.
i don't get him either but he doesn't seem like a bot, just a weird person
most of the modern stuff is literally plastic that will eventually dissolve fully too, made out of PEG400 and shit like this
he keeps us all at gibberish distance
not trusting the government and paying attention to what space sensor projects are reporting doesn't necessarily come into conflict. there has been a lot of hype about the doom of impactors but reality is they happen rarely. the most frequent cause of the largest number of big ones is from rocks condensed out of micronova and superflare discharges, and it takes up to 1000 years for them to form big enough to be a problem, and they are football sized mostly
keep in mind that if one of these things is big enough it will also have its path affected by the fields of the sun and all the planets as it passes. more often than not this is going to cause it to pass between. the distances are enormous, compared to the objects that they might hit.
there is also occasional higher frequencies of them such as when the taurids do their orbit and some other ones, but most of those are tiny.
also, it's quite probable that this one is just passing by and isn't in an orbit around the sun at all. stuff does get blown away from its orbit and get lost in space, usually by big solar flares or similar.
yeah, we will be able to see that thing on the way out of the solar system. it's quite big, but is not going to come close to colliding with anything
well, it definitely works to clear out the cobwebs, i'm gonna do it monthly now
i think definitely there is something involving UHT milk in this as to why my guts are so wonky.
also, i probably have a fatty liver, so the extremely unpleasant sensations i was getting this afternoon were probably similar to the "don't starve your fat cat" issue - sugars cause cats to have fatty livers, just as alcohol does to humans.
one of the best things about this type of data is that it's all mutable. no merge conflicts. you can always merge any branch to any branch, makes scripting the git log writes simple
yay
big beautiful bill = build back better
funny how they use the same alliteration
it's the crypto equivalent of the photo of the newspaper, like satoshi's headline in the genesis block, proof of can't have been created before that time.
yeah, i took some salt this morning
i was getting a bit woozy
i had an espresso, i don't think that counts as a break, because it's got such a trivial amount of caramel in it, and its main active metabolic product is paraxanthene, which stimulates the liver to convert fats into sugars
i was reading about fasting and cats too... couldn't find any info about like actual gut cleanse purpose, only addressing people who think starving the cat will make it lose weight. this is a very bad thing to do with a fat cat because what makes a cat fat is carbs in their diet, and in addition to the fat under their stretchy cloak of skin their liver gets fat as well. when they go into ketosis, their blood sugar spikes and this can cause renal failure, or at least a very bad time for kitty.
so it's something that is a little different between humans and cats, our bodies can tolerate more sugar than theirs can. in my opinion it should be considered to be animal cruelty to feed a cat food containing any more than about 1% carbohydrates in it. i babysat a diabetic cat for a flatmate once. absolutely apalling. and honestly, the overlap between human sugar metabolism and cat is not that narrow, almost everything applies. even down to things like raw egg white is very bad for cats, because it gets into their blood and gums up the red blood cells, causing anemia. humans can also get this, but it takes a much greater amount of raw eggwhite to cause it.
in addition, i think that it should also be considered to be animal cruelty to feed a cat vegetable protein. almost all the foods now are half soy. i'm pretty sure that my cat is allergic to it. also it's not just that, meat that is fed on corn also has oils and proteins in it that are allergenic. i get it real bad from the eggs i buy around here if i don't cook the yolk hard. so i think it's actually the fats in it, ie, from the GMO corn.
yeah, i have in my mind a model like that as the driving mechanism of the motion of all matter in the universe, an infinite subdivision process.
writing bots isn't that hard to learn either, if you have some reasonable experience. but you won't be able to do much complicated before a few months of tinkering. it really depends on how accessible the protocol the bot has to speak is, and how well you know that protocol's support in your chosen language.
the hard part is not the chatter but what it computes for you. databases and statistical analytics are not so easy to grasp at first.
Göbekli Tepe is the world’s oldest known temple.
Older than agriculture.
Built 12,000 years ago by hunter-gatherers.
The temple was intentionally buried.
The discovery changed our understanding of history.
Humans came together to build religious centers before they settled into societies.

There is some interesting takes on this (and other very old megalithic sites like Stonehenge) in the book The Apocalypse of Yajnvavalkya that suggests that this site was actually a training camp for ... how to say... the ruling class.
yeah, i think that the appearance is retained but the reality is steadily eroded by endless expansion of bureaucracy and the increase of corporate and NGO corruption funnelling more and more resources out of what people need, towards the benefit of these disgusting perverted megalomaniacs want it for.
i believe that taxation is extortion and resolve that question first and the majority of the rest is sorted.
the government is a common, and has the worst properties of a common, because it actively promotes itself as being essential when it's nothing of the sort. it's a political means, which is to say, it's criminal and violent to satisfy the delusions of fanatics.
yeah, i have sympathy for him too. i personally want to see a luigi for every politician, no matter what color or stripe, unless they vote no all the time and constantly lecture people about how government can't create wealth, only assist robbery.
haha yeah. throwing knives is only for assassination, if it's already an open fight you don't want to give away your weapon lol.
i don't really need to reiterate the dozen or more reasons why nostr sucks from a technical standpoint, do i?
having indexes for those makes the searches pretty fast
