It’s fashionable to accuse anyone on the long side of the spectrum on any opinion you hold, to be an extremist / zealot.

In contemporary dialogue people think they are the epicentre of a floating spectrum, rather than themselves floating on a fixed spectrum.

I think part of this is that smartphones and web algorithms have tricked young brains into believing they are the solipsistic centre of the universe. Bless.

Figuring out a meaningful way to contribute is half the fun, even if that means nothing more than social participation. 😁

So when this ponzi rolls over and fees tumble back towards 10 sats/vB… you will be sad, and see that as a bad thing, a reversal of progress?

Or just reinvent a diametric reason for it to be bullish?

Some intellectual honesty is required for credibility.

Someone should try and figure out how to host a consolidated limit order book on nostr.

Maybe auctions that match every 12 minutes?

And once the auction is executed the order book moves to a random relay on a decentralised relay list?

I can imagine a way to do it that makes co-location impossible and thus reduced HFT arbitrage.

That’s not how I see things.

Bad users shouldn’t be censored, they should have enough free speech to humiliate themselves.

Very kind of Bitcoin to allow scammers to monetise Bitcoins hard won reputation.

When ETH has high fees, everyone: ROFLMAO look at all the losers trapped in ETH.

When it happens to BTC, oh errr designed to do this.

Some intellectual honesty please.

High transaction fees are a major inefficiency for any financial system.

They are friction. Friction is bad.

Network needs much more agile resourcing to arbitrage the fees to converge near zero. Obviously doesn’t have that yet. Why pretend otherwise?

There’s something strange about US food.

I dont know if its the transport or the processing, but something bad has been normalised somewhere in the chain.

US chefs however are excellent.

In Europe we have the opposite problem by default, better ingredients but average chef is lower standard.

Obviously there are exceptions all over the place.

Turn it off for QoL.

You can have spellcheck and predictive without autocorrect.

That’s the quadrant where all the child exploitation lives. That’s never gonna scale, because nobody wants to be there / see that, and people with kids will actually organise against it. It will never be on iOS, etc.

There’s a big natural tension between free speech and privacy. If forced to choose, would you chose:

Free Speech

OR

Privacy

You can do either well, but trying to do both at once forces a lot of compromise.

If you want to throw stones, maybe you should live in a glass house. If you want to live in a brick house, maybe you don’t get to throw stones.

Self governing systems are the best, have the lowest cost and are the most scalable. Sooner or later, choices have to be made.

Just how deep is everyone with the GPT API?

Do people realise you can contextualise the response in the API?

For example the web version response is contextualised with the default “You are a friendly and helpful assistant.”

But in the API you can change it to anything,

eg “You are deeply resourceful and diligent C++ developer.”

Results are incomparable.

I turned off autocorrect earlier today.

Autocorrect ❌

Spellchecker ✅

I think this is better, especially since I know the shake = undo secret of iOS.

Ordinals are good for all the wrong people.

No problem. A couple of warnings:

1). You are very early, this is like an open source alpha/beta era.

2). Things change VERY VERY fast.

Yeah but we shouldn’t neglect the many people landing each day with zero follows and left scrolling global and thinking, this is nostr?

At the moment you enter nostr through the sewer, we need to manually haul them out of it.
