How do you poop without fibres? It’s known that they’re not nutritious, but since I started experimenting with carnivore diet, pooping has become a major pain point, as in it became a very small amount and very difficult to press out. I’m aware that that’s a point in favour of meat being very efficient food as I seem to digest almost all of it, but it doesn’t help pooping :/

Here’s stabilized version of the thermal video that someone on Twitter made. It’s much easier to see the forward-facing anti-gravity trajectory of the orbs on that video.

Here’s a stabilized (and slowed) version of the thermal video that someone on Twitter made. It’s much easier to see what’s going on than the shaky video.

One of the crazy things about AI and robotics is that in the year 2025, most people still don't use Roombas or other robotic vacuum cleaners.

They're useful in many contexts, but they're not clearly better across most metrics than a human with a vacuum cleaner yet. They've been out for a very long time, gradually improving. And that's one *very specific* task with pretty clear visualization requirements and floor mobility requirements and pretty low safety thresholds with high repetition levels, and yet that market isn't dominated by robotics yet.

That's an example of why I continue to view white collar computer-work AI as being *way* ahead of in-the-field blue collar robotic AI in terms of competing with human jobs.

The moment where it's a joke to buy a human-powered vacuum instead of a robot vacuum, rather than a debatable trade-off, is kind of the canary in the coal mine moment for consumer robotics. We can't even nail that yet, but once we do, it's kind of a floodgate moment, considering how long that task has been in the works for, and it will probably quickly expand to other areas following that moment.

That's kind of my basic test for robot hype. Yes, they're getting better and better. Yes, they do backflips now. Yes, it's a big deal. But in-the-field blue collar skilled work is a really high bar, and we haven't fully cleared the "vacuum carpeted areas of the same house floor area over and over" stage of that yet.

Everything is kind of hype until that stage is fully breached. Then it's off to the races.

What's your view of that heuristic?

Yes.

I looked into a vacuum robot and quickly realized it takes more effort to constantly clean the floor of all the stuff lying around so it can operate efficiently than to just quickly vacuum myself.

And I can quickly move chairs around from under a table and such which the robot never will.

To be fair, the US have a strategic cheese reserve

Nostr has lost the battle for censorship resistance.

While WE all know that Nostr is superior because it’s a protocol, people do NOT care enough. They are more interested in what’s written ON the box, not what’s necessarily inside the box.

The people who did care about “free speech” are now placated enough with Rumble for Video, X for short form, Substack for long form. With Meta now throwing their weight behind the movement, it’s game over for this narrative - at least for the foreseeable future.

There is no way Nostr as a brand can claim that space in people’s minds, especially against multiple established brands.

That ‘censorship resistance’ and ‘free speeech’ ships have sailed (even though they were fake), and the people who cared enough boarded.

The normies who never cared, still don’t care, or they found their way to the anti-platforms, like Threads, BlueSky or Pornhub.

The small minority of us still here on Nostr…are well…still here. We’re building, which is great - that MUST happen before anything else.

But if the goal is to grow the network effect here and bring in more people, then we need to find a new angle. Something more compelling that is a “running towards” value, not a “running away from” value.

I’m not 100% sure what that is. My instinct is that a “network of incredible applications”, that don’t necessarliy or explicitly brand themselves as Nostr, but have it under the hood is the right direction, but it needs more experimentation. Also needs more really well-build apps for non-sovereignty minded people (especially content creators) and people who don’t necessarly care about the reasons Nostr was first built.

We’ve been working away at this Satlantis thing for almost a year now and it’s coming along - albeit WAY slower than I would’ve liked. We’ve made a whole bunch of mistakes and at times I feel like a LARP considering the state of non-delivery.

BUT…we made some big changes in the last 2mths since missing a couple key deadlines, and I’m pretty confident we’ll have something cool to show in a month or two.

Let’s see if this approach starts to bring new interest andn activity here. Or if I’m full of shit. Either way, I’m going to keep looking for a better ngle than “free speech” because I no longer think that’s a battle we can win (we can come back and fight that battle when the time is more right, and when the winds have shifted in our favor once more).

Yeah, nostr is a technology layer, not an app. The apps will come if you guys build the layer well. Don't worry.

Connect through miracle creation (not kidding)

Has anyone thought of writing a database backend for Nostr? Like you could create different npubs for different DB tables, encapsulate whichever data types you like in normal notes, readable or encrypted. Then you can squat that database on public servers for free or host your own decentralized server network for mission-critical data.

Is there any benefit in this over hosting known DB software on normal servers, since you can HTTP-tunnel through Nostr as I heard?

You probably can't query a lot, although an interface could be added later on the server side if it doesn't already exist.

Also, database sizes can easily blow out of proportion if this catches on, so how would public servers deal with this?

I'm not very deep into the tech yet so forgive possible misunderstandings.

#nostr is Proof Of Word

You will never be able to convince me of the legitimacy of Israel.

That's the position I once held, having been indoctrinated in the German-zionist education system.

And after learning about the facts of how it was created and at what cost to whom, I pivoted my position.

You need to understand that it's not possible to go back to the original position anymore.

Hello world.

I created this Nostr account because a total of 6 of my recent posts on the ongoing Gaza genocide got deleted on Instagram and Facebook combined, a genocide that my government as well as Meta is complicit in. As I write this, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has the Palestinian death toll at 28,091.

In addition to the outright deletions, my Instagram account is currently shadow-banned beyond recognition, to the point where it's essentially dead. This is unnerving because I still need it for professional promotion. My Facebook account on the other hand I simply deleted. Facebook has become completely unacceptable already before the recent war.

A decentralized social network like Nostr with immutable posts comes with its own set of challenges, though. Immutable means you're uncensorable, but it also means you can't delete your own posts or account. So if your fascist government decides they want to persecute you for stuff you said on the internet, you're stuck with your posts for good.

The Nostr protocol is designed to support post deletion I believe, but I couldn't figure it out yet. It's tricky because posts are mirrored across several servers across the internet to evade censorship and you need to get posts deleted on all of them at once. I hope this will be possible in the future.

In the meantime, the Fediverse (like Mastodon) may be a good compromise between consorship-resistance through immutability and decentralization, as Mastodon posts aren't immutable, and you can move your account to a different server outside of your government's jurisdiction while taking your followers with you.

Nonetheless, Nostr is very interesting, even if only for the post length 🤪
