Interested in open data, machine learning, and distributed systems.

It feels like magic.

Yup. But I’m also interested in what that looks like on the other side of the data/privacy spectrum.

For those of us whose name and email is already in thousands of databases, what does the next generation of ad-block look like? How do we protect our time and attention? How do we become reachable only by those we allow to be given our attention?

Let the rest of the world drown in their data, making it meaningless.

You should just assume there are already multiple companies on nostr harvesting npubs and building audience panels to monetize the data.

A nostr desktop client for power users will cater to a smaller audience, however it’s these users that will be the key to driving growth amongst the casual users (on mobile).

It's a wise move to focus on meeting the needs of the high impact users. nostr:note1ytczhkqzcy2k2eu9yy56ppwegn2xny46apgrc8yal7q8mxuluf9qd9t2zn

The thing I enjoyed most was the focus on sovereignty through the lens of small communities. nostr:npub1lunaq893u4hmtpvqxpk8hfmtkqmm7ggutdtnc4hyuux2skr4ttcqr827lj explaining how there is a shared responsibility within a group to own their means of communication.

Sometimes a heavy focus on self-sovereignty can feel isolating.

This episode was a nice reminder how we're all in this together.

Happy record store day!

Totally. For me the best part is how it helps keep me in a flow state since I don’t get sidetracked every 10 minutes on yet another JS or CSS obscurity. It keeps you in the problem solving mindset.

Typically developers write code until it works, and at that point don't have the time or incentive to iterate on it.

For judgement free feedback paste that janky ass function you wrote into an LLM and ask it "how can I simplify or improve this?"

Use ChatGPT, Claude, or the new Llama 3 (via meta.ai) to help. Ask it questions, ask it for examples, if someone tries to tell you it might hallucinate etc etc ignore them completely. Yes, errors are possible but you just feed errors back to the model and it help you resolve them with a smile.

It’s notedeck inception

The pursuit of profit naturally drives centralization, as economic activities tend to consolidate for efficiency and scale.

Really like the idea of a pubkey as a personalization vector. nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr added pubkey colors to nostrudel profiles and it’s simple but super cool!

Because power laws have 20% of the creators consuming 80% of the attention and/or inflation is making everyone unable to spend their disposable income on anything other than all you can eat content platforms such as Netflix and Spotify?

That’s a really great response. It’s not so much here’s some sats for what you’ve brought into existence, it’s here’s some sats because you bring me joy and I want you to continue.
