😆 Thank you for your service.

That seems crazy cheap. Happy with quality?

Bravo to the nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 team for the upcoming release. I got access via TestFlight (Purple subscription benefits ftw), and there’s lot of polish and quality of life features.

I do as much as possible on my laptop using ollama.ai + a variety of models. On my phone, Claude is my go-to. I find it to be much less dysfunctional and annoying than ChatGPT.

nostr:npub19pj6f0nc9q6xr26qe3g8m6xe3hwe0d6p6zcvf57cm3kayghjdj0slnlenu asked me “How common do you think it is for Americans to live beyond their means?”

I asked Anthropic’s Claude “What percentage of Americans live beyond their means?”

The response:

“It's difficult to determine an exact percentage of Americans who live beyond their means, as this can vary depending on the definition used and the data sources consulted. However, several studies and surveys provide insights into the financial well-being of American households:

1. According to a 2022 report by LendingClub, 64% of Americans were living paycheck to paycheck, including 48% of those earning $100,000 or more annually.

2. A 2021 CNBC survey found that 56% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings, suggesting that many may struggle to cover unexpected expenses or emergencies.

3. The Federal Reserve's 2020 Survey of Consumer Finances revealed that 36% of households would struggle to cover a $400 emergency expense using cash or its equivalent.

4. In a 2019 Ladder survey, 40% of respondents said they spend more than they earn each month.

These figures suggest that a significant portion of the American population may be living beyond their means, either by spending more than they earn, having insufficient savings, or struggling to cover unexpected expenses. However, it's important to note that individual circumstances can vary greatly, and these percentages don't necessarily mean that all these individuals are consistently overspending or are in financial distress.”

Horror, stabbing, Iran, drones, pregnant people.

Citadels now. nostr:note1ta6qv2g4asljt482v5ugck6xvax53zu5yqunh70ejral2vhl9hmsupm24r

I see the dip. I buy the dip. It’s Science™️.

I have. It’s promising, but like so many nostr clients, it seems like an experiment, rather than a complete product.

One’s nostr experience is largely defined by the client you use. This has pros and cons. For example, nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg makes strong use of hashtags, while nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 provides a global/universe feed that can be highly tuned.

Beyond that, it’s about the relays you connect to. For example, wss://welcome.nostr.wine relays only new user notes/posts.

It’s a lot to take in, and it’s all still very much a work in progress, but the benefits of no algos and no corporate overseers makes it very worthwhile to those of us here.

A few good places to learn more:

And lastly, #asknostr brings a lot of helpful people. 🙏🏼

Another example of what’s happening outside our bubble.

Another great table-stakes UI improvement.
