a really big ME too on this one… and i’ve spent more btc on pizza (in 2010) than 99.9% of people on nostr will ever see total.
long before BTC, we had Freenet and GNUnet and many other approaches to this were explored to get here. there’s far more potential here than a simple currency.

change the first word from optimism to hope and then this is correct.
optimism is fragile and shatters in the face of disappointment.
hope can carry you through the hard times and accomplish the hard tasks.
source: Man’s search for meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
Frankl distinguishes between hope and optimism, emphasizing that hope is rooted in finding purpose and meaning, even when the situation seems hopeless. Optimism, on the other hand, can sometimes be unrealistic or disconnected from reality. Frankl argues that hope, tied to a sense of meaning, is what sustains people through suffering.
i’ve been trying to use nostr while avoiding the crypto-talk, and muting anyone the first time they post moon lambo works fairly well.
where can i find more people interested in nostr as community and communication?
🤔 if i’m rewriting code in a high level language using an LLM, what’s the crossover point where the resulting program runs as many instructions as the model ran in creating it? perhaps this can be called the LLM code break when point. how many programs never reach this point in all the times that they are run, and might better have been computed on the model directly.
this leads to the thought of dynamic single shot models as an efficiency improvement.
The Sun emits actual ionizing radiation ☢️ so wear sunscreen while jogging with your 👂 pods on.
I kinda hoped nostr would be more resistant to engagement farming clickbait…
#detoxI’m hiring right now, and over the last month I have been seeing thousands of “perfectly tailored” resumes with cover letters that exactly match what we are looking for. All of these are programmatically generated and none of them are “real”. The pass rate from first round interviews for candidates applying with a traditional resume has fallen to nearly zero.
I recently started searching for services offering this just so I could understand why nobody is passing interviews.
The end result of this is, I have stopped using resumes. I’m only recruiting through conversations in technical group chats.
Résumés are dead.

“John Ioannidis has published some very compelling research to show why the majority of scientific research findings are likely false, and his conclusions are intimately tied to the fiat system’s decoupling of science from market incentives and feedback. 62 With such strong incentives to publish, the likelihood of a false result getting published increases drastically.”

Spreading fake news… unfollow.
Looking at job postings in the US a lot this week (shameless plug I’m hiring Clojure programmers, remote US/Canada) and I’m so relieved to see “Functional Programming” nearly as often as I see “Object Oriented”
Testing... Can you see the image?
What is the item? And what client are you using?
Primal on iPhone, nope.
Adding more ws2805 under cabinet lights. This time I got WLED 15 beta to work by installing beta1 then upgrading to beta2
You can automate much of your home and devices with a Raspberry Pi and open-source Home Assistant
This article is a worthy reminder that are already many things in your home which you can automate from garage door openers, to your home router, to a solar system, to lights, to speakers, and so much more.
Home Assistant has hundreds of ready to use integrations that just hook up with these devices, either directly or via their cloud services. This can provide a nice dashboard of what is on or off, what has warnings, to keep an eye on your Ring video doorbell or Reolink CCTV system, etc.
I've even found a way to use this to show some statuses on my Stream Deck and have a quick button to reboot my router.
It gets even more powerful when you set some basic automation rules like for sunsets or sunrises, when it starts to rain, when a battery level drops too low. I have various of these set up to announce over the home speakers.
All it costs you is to use a spare Raspberry Pi or to buy one.

Using HA with a message broker like MQTT makes it easy to use all of HAs features while using other things like NodeRed to fill in gaps like setting light scenes.
It’s totally possible to have a smart home made entirely of software you control running on devices you really own.
There’s so many ways this goes wrong. It’s an arms race, and anything that makes criminals profit from GPS jamming (the next logical step) is bad for all of us.
Another widow shade light, completing the front room yay 😁
Having problems with stuck pixels on the new ws2805 based led strips.
They go away after a power cycling of the 24v system. Not an I doing it wrong?
The house hack continues. More indirect lighting. WS2812 led strings really are much easier to work with than strips though less effective at projecting light.
This one uses another of the delightful seeduino RISC-V esp32c3 modules. They are just so cute.
Today’s IoTs addition is using the new ws2805 based RGB+WW+CW strips using WLED 15 beta.
Hi this is Friendly The Merciless.
Friendly started life as an office espresso machine before retiring to take up a second career as an augmented IoT espresso robot.
Friendly got their name by mercilessly waking up the sleeping humans by making coffee and lots of noise in the morning. Even on days when the humans really want to sleep in.
Dear humans, you have one job, to drink coffee.
IoTs : every house needs Red Alert mode for when it’s time to leave for school.
Beta 2 of WLED 15 works with the new ws2805 based RGBCCT led strips.
These have the usual RGB plus warm white and cool white. The catch is that every 6 LEDs are addressable only as a group, not individually.
