How do you find balance past the horizon? Shadowy Super Coder; #nostr is the internets killer app

#NixOS comes close IMO if strict rigorous isolation isn't a primary concern, vs just sandboxing identities/exit connections.

But #QubesOS is excellent at making sure you know exactly what you're doing before you're even able to actually shoot yourself in the foot

They're not after you & your friend. They're after the folks who paved the parking lot where you & your friend were able to physically drive & meet for the exchange.

Depends how heavy the clutch is, but for most cars, it's way smoother shifting 👍

Plato's allegory of the cave

In a cave, people who have spent their lives facing back to the light coming from outside, see only the shadows of animals, people and objects in front of them.

These shadows are the only reality for these people who have never seen their true form.

One day, one of the people living in the cave is suddenly released. He encounters the world outside the cave. The eyes of this person, who are completely acquainted with the light, that is, the truth, experience almost blindness.

Over time, he begins to realize that the shadows that he thought were real until now are not real and are just dark reflections of the truth.

Realizing the truth of life, this person returns to the cave and tries to explain to other people that the shadows are fake and the real truth is outside.

However, these people, who have never seen the outside, cannot comprehend what is being said and they protest angrily...

Plato wanted to exemplify the inability of the philosophers, who had begun to understand something in the cave allegory, that is, the analogy, to the public.

This metaphor is still valid in today's world and order.

Because people accept what they can understand and do not accept what is told beyond their own understanding.

That's why those who tell the truth are somehow suppressed in society.

It is disturbing to see the truth in the light and to hear the truth. That's why the mind chooses darkness and bondage. Ignorance is bliss. It takes courage to face the truth and be free.

I wish everyone to be brave enough to get out of the cave one day.

This literally makes no sense🤦‍♂️

The word "organic" has been so bastardized, that now anyone who invokes it is likely misusing it, and sounding foolish. This is NOT THE SOLUTION to misinformation!

For those who actually want to effectively communicate, make good arguments, mean what they say, etc...

Coincidentally, Portman would go on to fight her diamond-form self in the movie Annihilation 😉

They're always too small, I can never figure out how to get my balls to fit in those things

It's a great song, but also has an apt title, given vedder is one of the few core grunge vocalists to, umm, survive until now. 🥲

i learned about this yesterday... last year, at one point, i had a bit of a mind blinder over how you can encode massive pieces of data with tiny pieces of data, i forget the scheme... completely forget it, but i'm sure it will come back to me...

it really flipped my wig at the time tho... i wish i could remember how i was envisioning utilising it

machine learning uses these things, apparently, and i can totally believe that you could devise a scheme to radically compress big long values like npubs and events, with zero chance of collision, would be an epic optimization for nostr event stores

I'm fuzzy on the details, but I think the holographic principle sounds like a physical cosmological description of this idea.

The total information contained in the 3D volume of a black hole is, remarkably, entirely encoded on the 2D event horizon of the black hole 🤔

Not quite the same, as the graphene words secure the monolith, not the individual components, that, with nostr, may be stored on various relays worldwide

Well basically, there's this war...

They conceded encryption to the public in exchange for the right to rebuild the inverted telco infrastructure that powered the internet.

They got the better deal there.
