Today I under-valued my time

It annoyed me

Getting caught up in someone’s vision, idea, and emotions

Reminder: must be more vigilant to guard my time

I missed a golden opportunity to hang out with my wife, whilst all kids were looked after in some capacity

Fail

Through failure we learn!

My fault

Onwards

YO BITCOINER CREATIVES 🎨

210,000 Sats for someone to help me create a fillable pdf / printable Amazon KDP workbook/book in Canva for my 11x LOVE Code project - holistic personal development on steroids.

Most of the work is already done in Canva but I want it:

1. formatted for KDP correctly

2. additional graphics

3. way more prettier ;-)

4. style will be between Be Here Now by Ram Dass and sexy modern AI art magazine layout

5. About 120 pages

I have brand guide, template, and the deck/workbook to share

Please send DM me a link to your portfolio and similar projects

⚠️ I will ONLY respond to you if you share detailed portfolio links

✅ I need an experienced designer to do this - especially the KDP part

If we are a good fit I will have MORE WORK for you in the future. ⚡️

YAY ROSS IS FREE! 🙏

Please repost to your crew ;-) Mahalo 🤙

Of course.

Yes! We are building an app for publishers!

"I'm really excited to see how it's gonna change the vacuum game" 😂

One of the crazy things about AI and robotics is that in the year 2025, most people still don't use Roombas or other robotic vacuum cleaners.

They're useful in many contexts, but they're not clearly better across most metrics than a human with a vacuum cleaner yet. They've been out for a very long time, gradually improving. And that's one *very specific* task with pretty clear visualization requirements and floor mobility requirements and pretty low safety thresholds with high repetition levels, and yet that market isn't dominated by robotics yet.

That's an example of why I continue to view white collar computer-work AI as being *way* ahead of in-the-field blue collar robotic AI in terms of competing with human jobs.

The moment where it's a joke to buy a human-powered vacuum instead of a robot vacuum, rather than a debatable trade-off, is kind of the canary in the coal mine moment for consumer robotics. We can't even nail that yet, but once we do, it's kind of a floodgate moment, considering how long that task has been in the works for, and it will probably quickly expand to other areas following that moment.

That's kind of my basic test for robot hype. Yes, they're getting better and better. Yes, they do backflips now. Yes, it's a big deal. But in-the-field blue collar skilled work is a really high bar, and we haven't fully cleared the "vacuum carpeted areas of the same house floor area over and over" stage of that yet.

Everything is kind of hype until that stage is fully breached. Then it's off to the races.

What's your view of that heuristic?

I want to emphasize that we're building a product on Nostr because we believe in Nostr's mission of protecting freedom of speech. Thus, our product, #Alexadria, focuses on the uniqueness of Nostr as such, and we are using its momentum to give back to the protocol.

Our core concept of open publications has already made its way into a NIP proposal, which others have begun to adopt. This will make Nostr a haven for independent writers, publishers, and scientists.

Our work on publications illustrated the need for a Nostr citation format, and the recently-proposed NIP-A4 addresses that, providing a means of citing physical and digital works, as well as LLM-generated content.

The Euler edition of Alexandria will utilize our in-development C++ SDK for Nostr, which we intend to support the needs of all clients developers, not just the needs of our project.

Your support of Alexandria lets us contribute to fortifying and growing Nostr as a whole. Thank you for all the ways you support this effort.

Which of you Nostriches are going to be in El Salvador next week for Plan B?

With all the chaos and nonsense going on in the world right now, I wanted to share something that I believe is critical as it relates to what is happening on #bitcoin (the first global free market that can’t be cheated) versus a system of corruption (trying to stop that system) Either 1) through willful intent or 2) lack of knowledge.

(*the majority of people fall into the lack of knowledge group)

According to game theory and playoff matrices: even when there are very high rewards and low punishment (they wouldn’t get caught) approximately 10% of people won’t cheat - no matter what!They place a higher internal value on integrity that overrides external rewards. I’ve seen this number as low as 2.5% and as high as 20%.

Why is that important:

Although everyone wants to see themselves as one of the honest, the math says that between 80 - 97.5% of people will cheat depending on the rewards. Now enter money - the ultimate pot of gold with high rewards and low punishment for cheating because people don’t understand it. Most people will cheat - a mirror of the world we see and have seen in Bitcoin since its inception. Need inflation, bad for environment, drug money, doesn’t scale, crypto, meme coins - the list will go on and on because if people can “get rich at someone else’s expense - most will. Those are simply the numbers and always have been.

In fact, in prior periods of history, the honest were at a massive disadvantage because and would often be killed by the cheaters. Because the integrity was so rare, society would often celebrate these people after their deaths as lessons of what we wanted our higher selves to look like.

#bitcoin has changed the equation. Giving those with integrity the power. Why: because 2.5 - 20% of people that won’t cheat is a massive number - especially if many of those people are decentralized and can’t be “found”. Those are the people who eventually run nodes, contribute their time and energy to keeping #bitcoin decentralized and secure, watch for attack vectors, build value on top of this protocol, call out the cheaters, teach and advocate to help others see it. Those people simply can’t be bought, and more are joining every day.

That decentralized and secure protocol bounded by energy is repricing everyone and everything from the other system and it will continue to do so as that system tries to grapple with: the cheaters no longer make the rules.

It will be chaotic, many more will try to cheat (don’t be afraid to slay your heroes) but in the end…..Satoshi unlocked a way to put the best of us into a protocol that was best for all of us.

What a time to be alive.
