So you completely separate governments and people right?
Just 2 cents from my side.
Everything looks differently from different places. There is a view from North America where people have to pay taxes for the war in some remote place when Russian is actually not a threat until things escalate and ICBMs start flying.
There is different view from any place in Eastern Europe where people know what was to be under Tzar Russia/ USSR regime. There is only change in the name but Russia remains the same for them.
There are different views in Ukraine and I am sure not everyone finds this war the same way.
Everyone has its own view and a right to have it.
nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9g84ctjf has its own view and so does nostr:nprofile1qqsve2jcud7fnjzmchn4gq52wx9agey9uhfukv69dy0v4wpuw4w53nqh8t7m0 and even though I know shit I also have my own opinions about this was. I’d rather have discussion on that than calling the other people names only because they tend to have opinions different than mine.
Whats your personal view on govts breaking their international agreements?

nostr has no global source of truth, and that is a good thing
Out of interest, I follow the progress of a lot of other projects similar to nostr, and a couple links surfaced today:
BlueSky has a big "firehose" connection that streams all updates (new posts, reactions, etc) to subscribers. Unsurprisingly, this is difficult to process except on beefy servers with lots of bandwidth. So, one proposed solution is to strip out all that pesky cryptography (signatures, merkle tree data, etc): https://jazco.dev/2024/09/24/jetstream/
And over on Farcaster, keeping their hubs in sync is too difficult, so they want to make all posts globally sequenced, like a blockchain. The details are still being worked out, but I think it's safe to assume there will be a privileged global sequencer who decides on this ordering (and possibly which posts are included at all): https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/193
In my opinion, both of these issues are symptoms of an underlying errant philosophy. These projects both want there to be a global source of truth: A single place you can go to guarantee you're seeing all the posts on a thread, from a particular user, etc. On BlueSky that is https://bluesky.app and on Farcaster that is https://warpcast.com .
Advocates of each of these projects of course would dispute this, pointing out that you could always self-host, or somehow avoid depending on their semi-official infrastructure, but the truth is that if you're not on bluesky.app or warpcast.com, you don't exist, and nobody cares that you don't exist.
nostr has eschewed the concept of global source of truth. You can't necessarily be sure you are seeing everything. Conversations may sometimes get fragmented, posts may disappear, and there may be the occasional bout of confusion and chaos. There is no official or semi-official nostr website, app, or relay, and this is a good thing. It means we are actually building a decentralised protocol, not just acting out decentralisation theatre, or pretending we'll get there eventually and that the ends justify the means.
Back when computers were primitive and professional data-centres didn't exist, it was impossible to build mega-apps like Twitter. Protocols had to be decentralised by default -- there was simply no other way. We can learn a lot by looking back to protocols of yesteryear, like Usenet and IRC, and still-popular protocols like email and HTTP. None of these assume global sources of truth, and they are stronger and better for it, as is nostr.

Aren’t nostr adepts of mythical outbox who consider anything server side to be an evil centralization from “them” saying the same things? “No one guarantees relays keep your posts but you can always selfhost and no one will care about you and this is a good thing because Nostr is a pure signal and we don’t need stupid normies here!”
I’m not very interested in your content because for me its 100% obvious what you are saying (I totally agree with you), I also don’t like posts usually because it makes no sense on nostr right now and no one wants it fixed
However I must admit seeing content like yours is very inspiring — its a breath among bitcoin/nostr/politics that gives hope this place could be used for regular social network activities
Really good question, maybe its because LLMs can only complete your sentences and not “carry a conversation and understand complex commands”? 🤔
Intent recognition (i.e https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/intent) topic is a bit different to LLM.
Can LLM mimic intent recognition? Absolutely! If-else statements can do that too though
Self hosted client side and p2p federation sound like you really now the thing!
Bitcoin fixes physical world in general and governments in particular
Outbox fixes virtual world in general and spam in particular
Nostr and bitcoin are protocols so they already won and we don’t have to do nothing

There are far less than 15000 active users and nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s pays something for the damus relay — what should I do for my 10GBps raspberry4 to substitute relay.damus.io?
More evil than rusian terrorists committing genocides all over the world for decades and their people praising and sponsoring this?
I like the proposed nip76!
While nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z has some medical data in mind, what I see this enable is to share kind-1 posts with groups, only! Those 12 I awarded a batch for example. Or all my 2000 follows.
The assumption of privacy would be low - any of the group could leak the event to a relay that doesn't care about nip76 but it's akin to facebook groups providing privacy. The bigger the group, the more likely somebody leaks stuff but with the bloom filter tag you can extremely efficiently limit access to any set of pubkeys.
But just how efficient are these Bloom filters here? Extremely efficient! To limit access to just a single pubkey, assuming you spend as many bytes as it would take to write the pubkey out, you get a false positive rate of at most one in 319784383802483100000000000000000000000000.
But how about groups of 12 or 2000?
12 pubkeys can be specified with a FPR of 1E-9 with 66B of data or 1E-17 with 118B.
2000 pubkeys can be specified with a FPR of 1E-9 with 12kB of data or 1E-17 with 20kB.
In both examples we need 6 or 10 bytes per pubkey respectively, compared to 32B which these pubkeys actually weigh.
Smells like premature optimization
Haha did you actually develop any software at least once?
Does the same apply to email and DNS servers?
How does one achieve this primary goal? Why would relay operators be willing to receiev, store, transfer and respond with user data?
Since right now its based on pure enthusiams and facts that operating a relay costs pennies and has almost no overhead and completely no legal consequences
#growstr #nostr reason to be early #simplybitcoin banned in youtubeDo you really considered mentioned resources to be youtube alternatives?
I was thinking on doing something similar but after initial investigation of fine tuming mechanics and consulting with great AI scientists and ML engs I came to the conclusion it won’t work nearly as good as I imagined and I didnt even start
Would be extremely interesting to see at least a prototype 👍
Rag and fine tune are like apple to oranges — different tools for different purposes
Nice idea but I bet that would look like a spam for the majority of both: normies and bitcoiners
Since the number of relay operators became equal 1 and the operator decided it doesn’t make sense to do so
Twitter is an implementation of nostr when its irrelevant how many relays there are
