Also, this machine could make a mistake so it’s untrustworthy, but these humans over here….. that is a prevalent flaw in reasoning.
His example was technical documentation, which one also writes.
1 hour of QA vs 10 hours of writing. I’ll take that gain every time.
The progress made in language models from 2017 to 2024 isn’t impressive to you? These things are literally writing software. The returns will accrue to those who understand how to use them to run circles around those who think they’re a toy.
No previous AI cycle had this amount of data, and this amount of compute, available to this number of people.
The shift in scale has created a virtuous loop, enabling more people to experiment with machine learning models, which in turn accelerates AI development.
AI, in this sense, is a byproduct of technological and societal trends rather than the driver of them.
An llm only understands the relationship between tokens.
Those concerned with personal privacy in the AI era will require tools that not only protect their data but also poison data streams.
I’m more concerned about the people in denial of AI than any threat from AI.
It’s the much faster thing which is catching people off guard. We are used to changes of existential significance taking place over millenniums and centuries, not decades and years.
If you find yourself writing an “open letter” chances are you are too late.
Threats are inversely related to what's at risk. When you mention extensive key reuse, that can mean a variety of things. Are you referring to the number of notes being published or the number of clients using the same key? I suspect it's a combination of both.
That said, it's difficult to provide a global risk assessment. If someone like ReplyGuy has their key compromised, the impact is minimal. However, if a more prominent figure like Jack, Gigi, or ODELL gets compromised, the damage is more significant—it sucks, but it's still localized to them.
This brings us to a kind of structure or formula: the longer a key is in use, generating valuable and trusted information, the more reputation it builds and the greater the associated risk. There's a (time x value) equation tied to each pubkey, and this value doesn't begin at the network level, it originates bottom up from the consumer level. Ultimately, it's the recipients of the key's information who determine its value across time—the creator doesn't get to decide.
Think about how nuanced that is, the biggest risk in losing a key is to the person (or machine) that seeks trust from others. The flip side in the risk equation is when that entity breaks the bonds of trust - then every recipient in their network suffers. You don't need to lose your key to do that though.
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't feel the same way at times. Taking full responsibility for your keys is hard, but I've also learned it’s a good signal of the value of learning how to do it right. To practice getting better at it in low risk environments, so it doesn't feel like a burden.
Nostr is honestly a great place to learn. Let's be honest, at this stage if someone loses their keys it won't be the end of the world. The other thing is, on nostr there is value in using your keys to sign notes, notes that are tamper proof and tied to you at the time you created them. Nobody can retroactively take that from you.
We'll still need better key rotation and delegation schemes to ensure longevity, but this is different from losing your key and losing everything associated with it all at once.
Oddbean webapp is in a strfry branch
Yeah it’s the best interface I’ve seen so far which captures the nostr zeitgeist all in a clean and simple way. Really nice work.
TIL nostr:npub1yxprsscnjw2e6myxz73mmzvnqw5kvzd5ffjya9ecjypc5l0gvgksh8qud4 is not only the incredible talent behind strfry, he also built Oddbean - a Hacker News clone built on nostr.
While we're encouraging people to engage in conversations through nostr, conducting any sort of dialog through interfaces which are effectively ephemeral is challenging for users.
Oddbean fills a gap in the nostr ecosystem:
* Interface encourages continuous discussion over time
* Implements clean, consistent threading
* Provides transparent way to rank/sort notes and threads
* It's not a firehose, notes don't constantly move in a river of posts
* You don't have to follow someone to discover the most interesting content.
Finally, check this out, his ranking algo is published right at the top of the site.
He encourages others to build their own. This is the future.

And…. uhhh…. the website is written in C++ Doug is hardcore folks 🤣

That’s a really nice idea
First error was user error, I was using -p from your first post. I get a second column now, but not a 3rd. Should there be a 3rd? Ran it with your npub
./target/release/notedeck --pub nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s -c contacts -c notifications 
Ha, interesting…. Well then maybe I need to file a bug report. I tried that as the startup params as well and the only thing I ever get is “Notes” and “Notes and Replies”.
Sorry for my dumb questions….. Got the npub to load, what does one provide for the additional parameters?
