My feed is full of peppers today šŸŒ¶ļø

This might delay some Damus updates šŸ˜…

Considering trying Factorio too. Similar concept but the gameplay feels very different

Another example: Bluesky hired one of the most famous JS developers who in this podcast says Jack Dorsey lost interest in Bluesky cause he’s ā€œmore focused in bitcoin thingsā€.

Nostr hasn’t made it to the agenda yet.

There were discussions about surveys, I guess it is a subset of that problem? šŸ¤”

Funny that the day after hearing some talks at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r pushing for classic revivalism (or at least presenting it as superior aesthetics), I went to take a look at Villa Müller, by Adolf Loos, the author of ā€œOrnament and Crimeā€.

Ironically, he saw ornament as a state imposition:

ā€œā€¦the State, whose task it is to retard the cultural progress of the people, took up the fight for the development and revival of ornament.ā€

ā€œAll right, then, the plague of ornament is recognized by the State and subsidized by State funds. But I look on this as retrogression.ā€

ā€œThe immense damage and devastation wrought on aesthetic development by the revival of decoration could easily be overcome, for no one, not even governments, can arrest the evolution of mankind. It can only be retarded. We can wait.ā€œ

nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle just gave the talk I can send to the friends who don’t have the attention span to read nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc Bitcoin is Time. (https://dergigi.com/2021/01/14/bitcoin-is-time/)

Great talk (and great essay)!

Super interesting when companies show where they source materials from, gives a hint at what different countries have specialized their production on.

However, countries get rich not by hosting the suppliers, but by hosting the sourcing companies, which capture more value.

Pretty excited about this ML framework for Rust! It's the sort of thing I wished existed, but am glad someone more competent than me built!

I'm starting to read through the NIPs and there's a lot of good stuff to build cool new clients with.

Still fighting connection issues, but excited about Nostr!
