I'm calling it guys, 1sat=1sat by the end of the year

Yeah it can be useful for that but don't learn to rely on it, it will honestly just bite you in the ass if you do.

Just build a proxy to get around CORS if it's a hinderence

I honestly see no benefit using ChatGPT or any other LLM when coding. Just the fact that I have to "change brain mode" and try and explain something in English is enough for me to lose all the potential "productivity gains".

Then even if you do that, the code it writes is so bad, it writes bad code with the confidence of a cocky 10 year old who has just learned how to code and thinks they know everything. But it keeps decent ish variable and function names, decent type usage and a consistent style, so some less skilled developers can't tell how horribly bad the code is.

Also, finally, I honestly think the only developers who can even benefit from an LLM in any way where they save time is either beginners or people that just do repetive and iterative things.

The only thing it's sometimes genuinely useful for use an LLM is if you're dealing with a new programming language or some badly documented api and you want a quick way to search for something (and you don't mind if its wrong 20% of the time)

He would've loved nostr if he were still alive. I wish I would've met him. Honestly he was a hero, I wish I would've met him when he was still alive. Rest in peace Aaron.

The note above is why people don't like this feature, but that being said to me it's personally essential. I typo all the time and rewrite what I said to fix typos all the time. The original note is still visible and any good client should implement a way to see it (like amethyst does), then there isn't a problem. The way that element displays it (you can see the history with all the diffs) is good enough for every single use case in my opinion.

I vote no on editing

Woah that's far right thinking right here, don't you know that taxes are the price we pay to be in a society... Something something social contract something.... 🤣🤣

I tried... I cant even joke about being a statist lol

This is why in order to inspire change most people truly do not matter. I know it sounds awful to say, and it is, but you can safely ignore 80% of the world.

If you're building something revolutionary you need to convince the top 20% of the 20% of people that are not NPCs. As soon as change happens it will propagate up to the NPCs, it has happened time and again in history.

To me, this is a liberating perspective. Trying to convince 8 billion people of anything sounds like an impossibly daunting task, who could possibly do that? While convincing 300 million people is still impossibly hard but much much easier. And this scales, convince 20% of them and it slowly propagates down the chain, eventually reaching the NPCs who just do what everyone else is doing.

How so? Some Linux distros are worse than others naturally but how is Linux as a whole becoming like Windows?

nah sorry Walker this time you're wrong, I only clicked it after listening to the last episode, I fully expected a joke and I got rewarded with exactly what I expected :P

Rough translation:

Here's the Plan ₿ forum

"The pride of lugano", says folletti

Starting tomorrow, the highly anticipated conference, Bitcoin the queen of Europe, begins. On the eve of the event, we interviewed the mayor [of Lugano] who played a key role in creating this event that will attract, for the first time, thousands of people around the world.

A chat with the "Lord of the house" (no clue what the meant here) on the eve of the most important Bitcoin conference in Europe. We interviewed Michele Foletti, mayor of Lugano, a city that in 24 hours will become the center of glboal attention from the world of decentralized tech and finance. The countdown is almost over, and tomorrow, Friday 25th October, the veil will lift on the third edition of the Plan B Forum, the reference conference for Bitcoin and decentralized tech.

This year too, the event will be hosted at the Lugano Congress Palace - including satellite events in Piazza Castello, Villa Ciani, Aula Magna, and Parco Ciani - where over 100 international speakers, thousands of attendees, and a series of enterpreneur activities will gather to explore these sectors in depth and discuss their exponential growth in the near future, with a central role in financial, technological and social innovation.

Among the most anticipated speakers are names like Adam Back, Nick Szabo, Paolo Ardoino e Stella Assange, wife of Julian Assange, the founder of wikileaks, who will be accompained by her father and brother. Alongside keynote speeches, there will be thematic panels, workshops, interactive masterclasses to explore technical, economic and social aspects related to Bitcoin.

There will be no shortage of side events, such as the free initiatives by "Spazio 21", the meeting and formation space open for everyone (not sure if this is the best translation, but whatever), and the Super League match between FC Lugano and Young Boys on the 27th of October, where Forum participants can assist by the symbolic amount of paying 1 CHF.

The latest goalpost, so to say, it confirms the vision and the effort of a municipal administration that, especially through Plan B, has transformed the city on the river of Ceresio to an international hub for decentralized tech and economic experimentation.

On the eve of this crucial appointment, we reached out to the mayor of Lugano Michele Foletti, to give him the possibility to express his views, and future prospects of a project like plan B, which is redefinint in an extraordinary and innovative way, the tech and financial role of the city.

> Mayor Foletti, we are on the eve of the for this third edition of the Plan B Forum, what are your thoughts?

"I am very enthusiastic about welcoming the third edition of Plan B Forum. It is extraordinary to see how this initiative has grown so rapidly and how Lugano has become a reference point for the cryptocurrency world in Europe and beyond. Our commitment to make Lugano into the capital of tech and financial innovation keeps yielding tangible results. In short, it's a great moment of pride for our city."

> What should we expect, especially when compared to the two previous editions of what will be considered the msot important Bitcoin Conference in Europe?

"This year the forum will be even richer in content and speakers of the highest caliber. We will have experts, innovators and leaders from all around the world to talk not only Bitcoin and Blockchain, but also about the social implications of this tech. Our goal is to continue to grow this event, making it increasingly international and strategic for those who operate in this sector. There will be new collaborations and partnerships that will further evolve Plan B (this last sentence's translation is a bit rough sorry)"

> The Forum, moreover, always represents an important way to take stock annually of the evolution of Plan B project: do you want to anticipate something in this regard?

"I can say that the assessment is very positive. Plan B has made great progress both at local and international level. We have seen a significant increase in cryptocurrency adoption in Lugano, with over 400 stores that now accept Bitcoin, Tether and LVGA as forms of payment. Also our commitment in training young people and local businesses on blockchain technologies is bearing important fruits. During the Forum, we will present details of new projects and partnerships that will further consolidate Lugano's role as hub of financial innovation"

> This ambitious project, born in Lugano, is slowly expanding in the entire world. This January, the Plan B forum will land in El Salvator, will the representatives from Lugano be there?

"Absolutely. We'll have an official delegation to strengthen our bond with El Salvador, the first country to adopt Bitcoin as it's legal tender. This collaboration will represent a unique opportunity for trade. El Salvador opened the door, and Lugano, with Plan B, wants to continue on this path to promote the global adoption of cryptocurrencies and decentralized tech."

> In general, how would you assess the evolution of the project Plan B almost two years after its launch?

"The evolution of the project has been extraordinary. In less than 3 years we grew the interest and participation of international actors, and have contributed to position Lugano as a reference point for Bitcoin and in general digital innovation. We've been able to build an ecosystem that not only promotes innovation, but also offers real opportunity for the economic future of our city. And we're not stopping at this, the next few years will be crucial in further affirming our position as an innovative and up to date city"

(jeez it shows that I don't read much stuff in italian anymore, I struggled with this, it's embarassing lol also the article really repeats itself a lot, they had a certain amount of space to fill and they just rolled with it, huh?)

Just sit back and watch it unfold, man, the media's decline is so obvious. What's actually terrifying to me is that there are still people that trust media organizations today, when they lie about everything and spin the truth all the time. It's honestly truly mind-blowing that anyone still takes them seriously at this point.

if you run your own inbox relay locally, you can get notifications in literally the speed of a network packet from the sender (plus maybe a few microseconds for processing) with this, with anything else it has to go through a notification service, which means at best you get 2 packets speed (and usually more).

If you don't run it locally, it's the time it takes the sender to send a network packet to your inbox relay (plus a few ms) + your ping to your inbox relay.

Literally nothing can beat this, assuming perfect code naturally

somebody could write a UnifiedPush system that sends nostr notifications and then you can get all your notifications for apps that support UnifiedPush via Pokey!

I'm not at all an expert in this area, I have never coded a Java card, but I looked into this a bit; javacard.framework.Applet defines a method called process(javacard.framework.APDU) which gets called whenever there is an incoming packet of information, and allows it to receive any kind of arbitrary data. This means that it's absolutely possible to code any instruction you would want, in fact from what I'm reading from the documentation, the byte at position ISO7816.OFFSET_INS, is designed specifically for that. So you'd check if it's whatever constant you set to getting sats and then read the following n bytes as the amount, the card can then respond with an ecash token of that amount without any issue.

That's why we need hardware signers

That's not at all what I said.... How.... What?

Don't blame the people, blame the sustem. There are lots of Germans that are great people in every way, some of the best freedom thinkers come from there. The problem is that the government still thinks it's the 40s and they want to control everything. Just like governments everywhere else

Question for Jonny:

How did you get into bitcoin, what was your orange pill moment? and why aren't you on nostr yet?

Every time I see something useful online and I can't #zap it I legitimately get angry. I found something useful that saved me minutes of time, I just want to tell whoever made it thank you, by zapping a few sats their way but I can't, it's so infuriating

If peter todd is #satoshi then I'm jesus

Simple static site, one page only, content only from nostr, no formatting, you may want to change it a bit if you want it to look nice (you asked for the easiest, so just as a joke I wrote the truly simplest website possible that does that!)

```js

const noteId = "fdf3d23250bea5008dc5d361ab195eef81942fe938f7aa7ae128379fc4161755";

const relay = "wss://nos.lol/";

const ws = new WebSocket(relay);

ws.onmessage = (e) => {

let event = JSON.parse(e.data);

if(event[0] == 'EOSE') return;

document.body.innerText = event[2].content;

};

ws.onopen = () => ws.send(JSON.stringify(["REQ", "science", { ids: [noteId] }]));

```

(naturally this is not production ready, but I had to do it as a joke 😛)
