Nostr: the most retarded smart people I know 🥰😂🫂

Keto is great, but I like the idea of metabolic cross training. Your metabolism should know to shift gears between different nutritional environments: fasting, keto, high carb, etc. You shouldn’t exercise just one muscle group every day forever. Why “exercise” only one set of metabolic pathways?

#asknostr

By opting out of the system, a boatload of meditation and a metric fuck load of drugs ? What’s the magic solution ? 🪄

I don't want my Communities tied to a specific domain name.

So, either Relays need key pairs. #keylays

Or Communities need key pairs so they can switch their main relay. #communikeys

I can't sell Communities that you cannot fully own.

had the boomer financial system leak a bunch of personal shit because they sent it to someone else’s email address today. unbelievably frustrated.

GM!

I am stepping back for an unspecified duration from nostr and the Bitcoin community. The project is in capable hands, but I am now focusing my attention on other pursuits. Take care of yourselves

#devstr

Imagine you are a new to nostr dev looking to get started.

You see the nostr protocol repo, and are missing the galaxy brain dev context and lessons learned of the past two years.

What are the first couple questions that you ask?

## Why I am sidelining DVMs for now

When I started to grow tired of random posts on nostr I had a plan to create a DVM to tackle the problem of noise. I wanted a feed that caters to people like me in it for the professional discussions and meaningful FOSS work.

I used the LLM approach because simple hashtag parsing can only do so much. First I thought I would fine-tune a BERT-like model that should be easier to self-host. It turned out to be a harder goal to achieve than I expected.

I wanted to use GPT4-o to help me generate data for the fine-tuning. Sadly that was a bummer. It screwed me over so many times with garbage, I got exhausted.

Then I downloaded a bunch of high-rated stackexchange posts to be clustered and used for the fine-tuning.

This already took me more time than I wanted and realized that for a PoC I might as well use openai api. So did that and started experimenting with different prompts for GPT4-o mini.

In the meantime I got acquainted with the python based nostr-dvm framework and setup the basics I need for a DVM service.

After some grind I got everything working but still was not very pleased with the classification results.

Now, I know I could have put in even more time to really nail that prompt but I kinda lost my faith and appetite. I successfully use AI to learn and generate rudimentary code and chat about ideas. But what I needed is to generate a feed without manual intervention. AI people tend to recommend techniques to improve results that are borderline witchcraft. And every single time GPT finds a way to hallucinate plenty of stuff that I did not expect, no matter how hard I seem to try. This is my experience from months of daily interaction with GPT4-o too, which is much better than the mini version.

So no, I won't get trapped in the ai hype again. It is what it is: without human oversight these things are still worthless. I'm not aiming for a 90% usable thing, and I don't have a straightforward way to get to a 100%. No one has because these stochastic models are not AIs at all. They are mimicking parrots, nothing more. And this direction is a dead-end if you ask me.

All in all to customize a high-quality feed I tend to agree now that something like #nostrscript seems to be the better way to go from nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhglzevy3 .

It has the human element but is enhanced with the right tech to be much more than just picking hashtags to follow.

We might see a bunch of better use-cases for DVM-s but this is my overall sentiment right now.

👆yes, 100%.

Now imagine if it were spamming kiddie porn or something.

This needs to be fixed. I’ve already offered my services to be censorship czar. No kidding. I’ll do it. So many I want to eliminate, HUMBLY.
