Morning notes (12/14) - ⚡ Boost for sats (more info at the bottom) ⚡
Be one of the first 10 boosters and you'll get 1000 sats minimum once ten boosts are reached or 12h have elapsed. This is an experiment and your feedback is welcome. I know I'm not the first but I'm interested to learn how these can be used for greatest effect.
$boost
There are a lot of unknowns in designing a predator/prey simulation. I suspect it'll be important for all animals to have a hunger sensor though I wonder, do predators need to have different hunger functions than prey? Also how much should movement cost versus neuronal activity?
Noticed a couple of these stickers in the wild. Do you think looking at the metaphorical you each day as a drained battery would have a positive or negative emotional effect?
Are car manufacturers still making adaptive volume a premium option? Noticed while listening to a classical piece in the car (with stock audio system) this morning that I had to ride the volume knob. Our ears do a good job of compression in the absence of noise but unfortunately there's a lot of that while driving.
Yesterday's boost note didn't seem to have much effect (2 boosts only, 2k sats paid). Part of it may have been the lack of any visual content. The previous one had an interesting video embedded. Posting morning notes in general will continue as it's generally stimulating. Will try another boost note today and maybe for a few more days to get a bit more statistical significance. Maybe the 10k sats should not be limited to 1k per but be split among boosters so the incentive adapts to boost interest.

For the boost yesterday, I didn't mention forwarding zaps from the main note onto the boosters. Today I'll add that in. So the reward will be what I put up plus whatever the note receives by the time the prism gets paid. It's hard to quantify the overall effect of boosts but certainly getting to interact with more of you versus just posting these things. Some further things to research: whether to unbundle the notes and give them their own prisms, how this works for different boost amounts and split populations.
Often in sitcoms the laughs come from a lack of self-awareness of some main character, e.g. Michael Scott. Thinking about self-awareness as a process, I wonder if it being energetically expensive can be a low-level source of anxiety. Childhood is a time when processes are learned and then automated so for those who didn't experience a lot of social interaction as children, self-awareness may be too expensive to perform a lot of.
My AI/ML research has brought me to develop a predator-prey simulation. The grand hypothesis is, self-awareness arises naturally from predator-prey relationships. The mini hypothesis is, predators and prey driven by neural nets will naturally co-evolve strategies for survival. In order to enable more dense process representations, neural-network topologies will be managed by a genetic algorithm.
While running I often have comments and ideas about whatever I'm listening to, but have struggled to find a convenient way to jot them down. Finally got a little voice recorder and made 22 notes on yesterday's run. Time will tell if this is worthwhile. I suspect it will be.
It should be in the camera app but I'm not sure. Usually to get anything more you have to use another app to speed it up further. YouCut is one I've used for this purpose.
I got sucked into Apple's stuff for work and it felt good experiencing a new OS and sleek hardware. I knew iCloud was a trap so larrely avoided it. My mistake was buying macbooks personally. Just had my main one die so got back to Linux as my daily driver and it's like a beautiful homecoming. Now looking to deApple my life as much as possible.
I like the mapping from markdown sections to notes, or at least to define one or more such mappings. Might make a good NKBIP.
The nice thing here is it's really easy to prototype by publishing note heirarchies. Just a fair amount of manual work initially.
That'd be manual for now but it is planned as part of the next round of UX improvements. Codeberg is down for the moment otherwise I'd link you to the issue.
This format is very close to what I'm trying to do in creating knowledge bases on top of nostr. Composable notes of various types that create a full article, textbooks etc. The spec is super simple and I think having specialized topic relays would help in organizing specialized, knowledge communities on nostr.
Have you created many notes of this format? I suspect the more you create them the more you'll identify what tooling would be helpful.
One pain point I have is composing the note. I have to copy the note ids over to a text document to build the meta-note. I could see a simple one pager with checkboxes and a template would help in generating the text.
With projects like this I often start with the simplest thing I can imagine. https://github.com/nbd-wtf/nostr-tools has a lot of simple examples which I used to create https://davidsterry.com/nostr
Now following this Milky Slug.
Hi. Do you know Stacker News? I'm sure you'd get a lot more feedback there. Take a look. You can use the referral link if you want.
And in the process, you can earn some satoshis. The people there are interested in the topics you're sharing here. I'm sure you'll be well-received.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
Ok, that was fucking lit. The prism got created automatically once it hit 10 posts. I zapped the created prism in noStrudel and all zaps went through with zero extra clicks needed. The only thing was I needed to check nostr:npub12u7xgzak939jlap3fnev05eky6d4ntwr4lrs03kgnnfd9njmtvrsr9jjmt feed to see the prism note since for some reason I didn't see their quote post in my notifications. If they'd mentioned me there, it would have been 20% cooler.

Seems so, what happens if you have like 512 of them?
Where can I read more about your project? I've been screwing around with some AI/ML ideas for a week and interested to understand more of what people are doing now.

I'm wondering if a NIPs competitor process is necessary to solve the problems of ill-defined process, unwritten rules, deadlock, and over-authoritativeness. Perhaps FEP can be this venue.
The key point of contention is whether Nostr could be considered part of the fediverse. Nostr's not made of federated instances though relays still wield more power to censor than most people think. Mostr joins them into one with a bridge however it's unclear if a set of bridges can turn two systems into one.
GM. 🌱 ☀️ Got any favorite time-lapse videos?
Any reason you stopped or don't do it as much any more? I try to meditate often and after trying a few forms, feel most comfortable with something called anapanasati. It's got four phases to it, each of which deals with different aspects of body, mind, and principles. Afterward I tend to feel more relaxed, more grounded in a certain view of reality, and often times energized to follow the natural energy of my mind. This is why I've been posting about a variety of things. It's just how it works up there. Thanks for the video tip, perhaps I'll search a bit for it. 🙏
Conservation of energy leads to Bernoulli's principle which is essential for understanding aerodynamics and the flight of a bird. In the same way I feel like conservation of energy must operate in the brain at least on certain timescales. Obviously net energy comes in via the bloodstream but what if neurons were able to directly reward each other with energy, forming a kind of activity market? Further research tells me this is unlikely however I did learn that often-used neurons and connections get optimized to be faster and more efficient.
It's a draft: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/686. Looks like our NIP number got ganked.

We're just waiting for NIP 44 encryption to get finalized.
The priesthood secretly hates protocol.
Can't wait for this year's Nostr recap. Who's on it?
Watched video of the multimodal interactions yesterday and was 🤯. What they showed was likely too expensive to offer but won't be for long. Gives me a bit of pause to work further on my AI/ML project but since it's mostly for fun and understanding I'll probably continue.
today i am going to write a script to read your notes on my console!
😂 what is a client mate? #devstr
More power to you! I think there is a console client in the awesome nostr list for reference or if you want ideas.
This is the second cultural effigy reference I've seen in a few days. In the Taiga they burn Winter.

Because that takes a lot of time and commitment to get the sound quality right, to develop the following and reputation to get good guests, and skill to interview them. A better start for many would be as a guest. Guess that aligns best with having a book or project to discuss.
