i don't want to abandon yet another cat. sick of moving around. next step is gonna involve a van and me mostly staying in it until i stack enough to buy a little rugged patch of dirt on the mountains of the carpathians

i have a cat now as well, this greatly complicates things.

yeah, of course a commie would think i can just get all that money from nowhere.

i already have too much and i don't even know how i'm going to move this shit when i need to, at this point. it already cost me like $200 to move here.

put it this way. the math that would be involved is already well established in computer graphics. it's just a curve.

i love discrete computational mathematics. so i get what it means. sadly most people don't even understand basic shit thanks to the fucking state educaiton system.

the entire denomination scheme of bitcoin is just fixed point integers.

it's just a matter of changing the function so it doesn't do half every ~4 years but instead decay the reward smoothly, but still as a fixed point.

fixed point simply means that the precision before and after the decimal are fixed, X bits are whole numbers, and Y bits are fractions.

it's not "tail emission" it's just interpolation. modern computers are about 10x or more performant than the time of satoshi and power functions are cheap to execute now to simply take a block height and derive a reward value using fixed point integers.

it was corndalorian, the notorious memer. but mostly it's not worth following him anyway. people repost his highlights enough that i get all the corn i need in my life.

this is also why it hasn't happened yet.

most of the people arguing about it couldn't even plot a function on a graph if their life depended on it.

i honestly don't get why they dress it up in this stupid "tail emissions" bullshit. even if you smooth the curve once the precision runs out, it is going to go to zero. but that is like 100 years away

the main argument for tail emissions, which i'm just gonna call "interpolation" is that it changes a 4 year cycle of up and down.

peter todd is a dick but stairstep reduction of emission rate is clunky and cheap. it would not substantially burden nodes to change from the halving algorithm to using an exponential decay that follows the same exact path, except more precisely.

also, lol. you posted to my relay, while muting me.

you understand that the current schedule is a stair-step that drops by half every ~4 years right?

there's a technique in signal processing called interpolation, you see it every fucking day on images on the internet when stuff is upscaled.

that's all it is. smoothing the stairstep into a curve.

also, i have a vague recollection it was actually a mcdonald's burger. at one time about 20 years ago they had a brief promotion about it. so it was probably the lowest grade of wagyu. but if you read up on how they produce it, it's not actually that special, i mean, just more careful and specific how they raise them.

well, it was on offer at some place i visited once in Brisbane years ago. it was pretty rare to find it and yes it was expensive but yes it was worth it.

the most important thing about it is the breed of cattle and how they raise it, and how they cure it after slaughter. probably a lot of common types of cattle would produce decent stuff if you treated them the same way. i'm pretty sure they let them run until more than 18 months also. not sure exactly what the procedures are but i don't think the cattle are especially different except for having been raised by meticulous japenese for a few hundred years. maybe longer, but i doubt that it's anything more than typical japanese excellence.

i'm pretty sure you are still muting me so whatever.

literally, the only difference might be that before last halving to 1 sat there might be less sats issued and then after it would have rounded to zero tail emissions would have continued to reward 1 sat for a while longer.

if you have any grasp of how quantization works you'd get it.

tail emissions would make no difference if they didn't change the total supply. i am sad that so few bitcoiners who oppose the idea have such poor skill at simple mathematics.

if set up correctly, both would reach a point where it rounds to zero sats and hopefully long before that the precision of the denomination would be expanded.

maybe i should draw some pictures sometime to explain how it's utter nonsense that tail emissions change anything. what is more concerning is that introducing it would entail some people trying to change the supply. this is a solid reason to oppose it. everything else is literal ignorance.

btw, you posted this note to wss://realy.mleku.dev

if i build fences, and you cross them, you agreed to be shot at. the end.

i'm interested in discussing the finer points of any proposals you make. i also have my own designs that i'm working on. you saw my first draft http api, i'm refining it now and will have subscriptions implemented probably eod tomorrow. uses a single listener for the client with a relay assigend ID and then subscribe/unsubscribe methods to activate/deactivate filters on the listener.

i don't really care that much to discuss issues around message types. i think you know i'm opposed to the whole kinds field altogether for the same reason as i oppose the numbered nips. i think document types should follow the HTTP standart.

anyone who jumps a fence or gate has already earned a big bang in their direction if you ask me. some idiots think you have to put signs up saying it's private property but i say, it's implied by the existence of fences and gates. thus, once they enter, they are consenting to being shot at.

fuckin agorists. they are red, as far as i'm concerned, when it comes to this subject.

they can try and occupy the edges of my ranch, and i will put bullets in their asses.

this and somun are the two forms of bread that i am very tempted to eat if they are offered to me. despite having celiac.

i know right? almost 2 years since i first contacted them and asked wen open source.

so, yeah, i don't use it. i can at least build simplex from source, pain in the arse as it may be compiling haskell (you need more than 16gb memory)

o hai

who are you? i think i saw you before but what kind of paranoid narcissistic bullshit is it to assume that just because i was replying to him i was replying to you?

i've only just started, but i've been cutting out allergens and high carb foods mostly. it's partly caused by kidney damage. but i would say from that i have 10% back, it got unbearable to work about 2 months ago. so i think i've got a chance of getting it back.

doing the exercises, i'm also doing this thing called mewing, which i don't think will help physically my vision but i feel like it increases my alertness and that tends to have a good effect on muscle strength. i've also just started doing situps, just one little set every day for now, just gonna work up to more things bit at a time.

i also don't go with this rent is immoral agorist bullshit.

but this is like plucking teh leaves off a weed.

the root problem is banksters.

shoot over their head, and then "i'm now aiming at you, get the fuck out"

the right answer is "i need to get my stuff" and then you say "i'm coming in in 5 hours and if i see you, you lied to me as well as trespassed"

peter todd is so obviously handled by someone with an agenda. anyone who brings MSM garbage into nostr is an agent provocateur. i don't like that lola wench for the same reason. also why i get so friggin tired of moneros. they also are promoting an agenda that is irrelevant to bitcoin.

bitcoin is about 21M forever. anyone who doesn't get that, is trying to change it, and that is a bad thing.

wat be that?

i meant 100x a month.

i pay 21k sats a month for cloud hosted alby hub. i can understand why you would not want to pay that much if you are making less than 10x that a month.

if that's the case, then i advise don't bother. i am only just a bit outside of that margin myself, and the cost i pay to keep my xapo bank is quite ridiculous as well. i paid $150 for the first year and then second year $1000. i have to keep my income over $3000/month or i am not renewing it.

forget all the other reasons, if it's not economical for you, don't do it, and don't feel coerced or harassed by people who do. they all have more money than you. you can't get over that hump by spending money.

revise the request acceptance policy and maybe add a configuration system that lets you block IP ranges. you can even just do this with ufw

i can use my computer casually without my glasses again.

i'm gonna keep on working with the eyepatch and doing focal distance switching excercises every day until i have my vision fully back. for now, i can leave my lenses off my face and still shitpost.

it's been like 3 months since this was reasonably comfortable without increasing text size.

dopamine is the devil. satisfaction at something achieved will build.

yeah, the funny thing i learned was the name "Dane" - there was this shady guy in the circle of people i knew, otherwise means "the day" which i thought was interesting, and probably related to the name Daniel. there was another dude, a total retard pothead with the name Milan, but his nickname was "Robija" which means slave.

serbs have really strange vernacular.

the word "kod" means "place" also, idk why exactly. must be some kind of mongolian word or something. in bulgaria they have a similar word, i can't think of it just now.

ah yes, "pri"

so "kod djordje" (at george's) in bulgarian would be "pri georgi", a common expression in bulgarian for referring to one's own people or culture they say "pri nas" - with us, or to us.

kod is a form of the word "at" which is normally "u"

also, kod kadre means "at the staff" or "at the personnel"

looking those things up i learned some funny things.

serbian!

haha... kod is a common name in yugoslavia (bosnia and croatia too) for a "rostijl" or bbq place. does kod kadre use charcoal for grilling btw? it's not really proper rostijl without it being cooked over charcoal. i lived in an apartment above a place that used an electric grill, it was nowhere near as good as the other places i've been to that have it over "cumur" which is the serbo-croatian word for charcoal.

btw, if you didn't try kaimak, you have to go back there and add kaimak to your cevapi and pljeskavica... and don't forget ljutenica.

the best food in the world, i don't think it's an exaggeration.

i'm glad that this simple insight is growing in its champions.

yeah, it's a pretty obscure subject. i learned to read english before i learned how to speak it. some of my phonetics errors transferred to my little sister and later i would laugh at her mispronunciations. then my mother told her that i taguht them to her.

number writing systems are probably my second most intense obsession after text writing systems. i never actually got around to learning to write numbers in ancient greek but they had a whole scheme for it as well. and could write quite big numbers.

the arabs were the most elegant with their base 10 decimal number system though. they had fractions and were the first historically recorded culture to get close to a precise approximation of pi. the greeks were into that math stuff as well but their scheme was a bit confusing since it reused the alphabet.

also probably due to the fact that they used it with signage which was mostly carved into stone. arabic was painted, so the arabic numbers are cursive style.

i think probably the romans decided on 1, 2 and 5 because it is probably quite efficient for numbers of characters to write numbers. 1s are half the width of the rest of the ciphers they use, so 3 and 8 are the longest single digit arabic numbers with III and VIII and they made a scheme where the less-than-next cipher could be represented by a prefix like IX for 9 or IL for 40

although there was some variance with those schemes, XXXX and IIII were sometimes used.

since they didn't have any kind of movable type i can only speculate that they were comparing its efficiency to tallies which are based on 1 and 5.

there are some boobies like that, i've seen some in my yoot. she was a redhead, so i think you can probably bet so is this woman

just need a hot spring and you're golden

i made it with an insole from my vivobarefoot boots. from the heel part, was just the right shape on one side. not pretty though lol. also kinda annoying i have to try and bend it so it's convex to give my stupidly long eyelashes room.

i honestly don't care about the current thing, one fucking bit.

i know that at least a substantial number of those who were sent to ES were sent BACK to ES, because they had a huge problem with street criminals.

i am an anarchist, i believe in no borders and i most especially believe in no governments. and my solution to this problem would be that the locals being oppressed by these violent thugs get guns and shoot these pigs dead in the middle of their violence.

almost everything about the situation is contrived.

probably not but i think i needed a reduction in message volume on my feed

HTTP has a thing for subscriptions called SSE. it would have a big benefit over websocket subscriptions because a) it starts instantly (no upgrade chatter) and b) a client only has to open one subscriber, which will then channel all subscription query requests back. i do have to add an endpoint for cancelling specific subscriptions as well for that, but it's still doable

glad i could help. yes, ephemeral events and subscriptions = rendezvous

"closed" lol. until yet again another flaw in their security leads to a trove of user data landing on the dark web

you'd be surprised how easy it is to get around just by spending a couple bux on a map at a gas station tho. most of the time if it's a place you never been before and it turns out great you will get to know all the landmarks anyway. in most places, the street signs are informative enough to interpret the lines on the map.

i'm also making it as compliant as possible with the relevant NIPs too, so it's easy for nostr devs to adopt it.

there will be a full and comprehensive openapi spec for it as well so for most devs it should be just a matter of taking that and generating the code for their project to use it.

i gotta stop watching my feed. i need to sit through this tutorial right now: https://tour.json-schema.org/content/01-Getting-Started/01-Your-First-Schema
