I have solved connections once, yesterday. It was a perfect score. I X/6 the wordle which I almost always win.

Now that I've seen the answer I feel like if you get one category the rest should be easy.

A 3 on Wordle and a total wiff on connections feels a lot more like home than yesterday.

Releasing soon on a nostr client near you.. IMDB on Nostr!

You will be able to

- Add a movie and it's metadata (with IMDb id)

- Rate it, Review it

- See Reviews and Ratings of people from your contact list.

If Apple can ship this border radius on the most used part of their system, our Nostr apps are fine.

Sure for low quality vibe coding it takes the fun away.

But for real professional complex applications it makes the work a lot less menial. Engineering problems can be focused on while necessary but tedious tasks can be outsourced.

Quite the opposite

I think JPEGs on the timechain are stupid.

But the idea that they're going to hurt Bitcoin seems so weak to me. Like the US dollar can withstand people scribbling on it but Bitcoin can't?

In fact, the idea of Bitcoin as a glorious digital monument with some graffiti scribbled on it represents humanity pretty well. That's kind of us in a nutshell. Seems on-brand. Perfectionists trying to keep their little gardens tidy while trolls come in and find ways to mess with them anyway.

NFTs and memecoins already had their peak fad moments. People now know that they're non-scarce gambling toys rather than investments. It's just echoes of that peak now. The only thing that concerned me about the ordinals/runes period was the rapid UTXO bloat, not the blockspace usage, since the latter already has a consensus limit on it.

And if Bitcoin transactions can't outprice JPEGs in the long run, then it's just not that valuable. Bitcoin currently does about 1% of the gross settlement volume of Fedwire. That's peanuts. Imagine if it reaches a point where it does even like 10% of Fedwire. What would you pay to move a full bitcoin globally, permissionlessly, in 10 minutes, in a world where it's no longer a niche thing?

I visualize it as a tree, each leaf is a Bitcoin address. Probably not very useful for the uninitiated.

Voltage have a bunch. Ask them

I use it similarly. I often use it to probe ideas and make outlines before I begin working. Like I have an app idea. I'll give it my requirements and ask like what kind of data structures COULD I use and what should I actually use for this and why. And tell me the reason I would and wouldn't use the other types. then I make an informed decision on how to proceed myself. Without AI I would be doing the same thing except I'd have to read a lot more documentation.

To contextualize the adoption of cryptography:

- Public key crypto was invented in 1976

- Bitcoin was invented in 2009, 33 years later

- In 2025 (49 years later), cryptography is still a niche topic

- The printing press was invented around 1440

- By 1470 (30 years later), a handful of presses had been established in major cities

- In 1500 (60 years later), there were only 417 presses

- By the 1550s (110 years later), printing presses were in use globally

Transformational technologies go through a period of obscurity, then centralized control, then eventually become universally accessible. My hope is that we are just coming out of the centralized control phase of cryptography and the internet.

What do you call it when you use ai to assist in coding but don't just "vibe" with whatever it says until you get the result you want? What if you're the kind that explains a problem, asks for potential issues and then actually read the response and follow it with "But if I add this part isn't that just redundant since I already do that in this section of the code?" And then it goes, "you're right, adding that would be redundant." But it did also show you why and how the original bug was a problem and then you fix it yourself instead of using the half slop artifact?

I'm that kind of coder I guess. half vibes, half PoW. Perfectly balanced right?
