Correct assessment of the meme culture:

People started losing the ability to use language when the internet gave them communication with pictures.
I thought that was bad; but I suspect that as AI continues to develop, people are going to lose the ability to think at all.

@Alex Gleason is it possible to have an API to translate a Mastodon URL to a Nostr event id on https://mostr.pub/?

Lantern v0.3 will come with an automatic detector of Nostr events even when they're being displayed in a web client (by looking at the URL) or when they're in a completely arbitrary webpage (by looking at @Râu Cao ⚡'s <link> tag):
That means that you can use Lantern to highlight and annotate and comment on an article on Yakihonne, njump or Habla or a website like https://fiatjaf.com/ or https://nostr.kosmos.org/@raucao and your comments will show up on every other instance of that same article.

Coracle's custom feeds are actually usable now, and pretty fast.
Even though @ hodlbod claims Coracle is buggy I've only been seeing one bug sometimes and it seems to be caused by a broken NIP-11 response from purplepag.es.

What are some websites that use querystrings for core routing (i.e. the presence of a query string changes the actual page that is displayed, not only acts as a filter or toggle in the same base page)?
The only two I could find were YouTube and Hacker News (and the OPNSense dashboard, but that is not a real website).

I wonder if one could make a blockchain that is a neural net thing and every block modifies its parameters and that influences how it validates and interprets the next block and so on.
Or: what are people doing when they try to combine "blockchain + AI" in order to scam people? That was the best I could come up with.

maybe we should bitcoin+nostr+mcp this hashcash thing https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis but make it so that the challenge string (provided by a spam-deterring site operator) is actually the components of a prospective bitcoin block header.
If the operator is too lazy to run their own bitcoin node to construct the block template, then they can grab one from a service like mempool.space
From the visitor's perspective it is the same (they must complete the pow challenge), but at least this way every website operator can also be a solo miner.

MCP is just a JSON-RPC API with natural-language docs.
Maybe all the hype around it will make developers realize that RPC is better than REST.

@Gossip Client was using 30GB of storage (is that expected @Mike Dilger ?), so I nuked it all, but then it has also deleted my key so now I'm using Coracle as my main client for a while.

In the middle of this interview the host, beginning to grasp the idea of Nostr, says something like: "I like this separation of powers".
It is interesting that it's not hard for people to realize that that a big corporation controlling the "public square" isn't a good thing, but many will have an immediate impulse of trying to fix that situation by coming up with a protocol in which not one company controls everything, but multiple companies.
This seems to be the mindset behind Mastodon, Matrix, Farcaster and Bluesky. They all assume users will be immediately subject to one server, one company, but that there is room for other companies to join and compete for users, or something like that (there are differences in how this plays out between all these protocols). So instead of one "corporate square" controlled by one company you end up (in

https://dearrow.ajay.app/ is a very good thing that exists.
It not only makes browsing YouTube much better and saner, it also makes it very clear right to your face how retarded things can become when everybody is desperately trying to cater to some platform algorithm.

So both https://www.themoneyillusion.com/ and https://slatestarcodex.com/ have abandoned their blogs which worked perfectly over many years and migrated to Substack. I imagine many other blogs I never knew about have done the same.
Why is that and what does it mean for us?

Hopefully this settles all the discussions regarding "dumb relays" that I've seen since I wrote that line on that initial Nostr description text:
npub1t6jxf
•
1w ago
Replying to @USER
The dumb part is about the type of queries you send towards a relay; the point is that you should be able to ask any relay the same type of question. Or put the other way, a client (or a feature rather) should not depend on some special sauce server/relay side in order to work, because that means 'lock-in' and undermines/destroyes the whole Nostr model.
Now wether a relay cooperates (i.e. what policies it employs for accepting these simple/dumb requests/queries) is a different matter. Actually it is precisely BECAUSE the relays are supposed to be "dumb", we have this situation where relays can deploy whatever arbitrary 'censorship' without causing (fundamental) problems, because you as a user can move over to another relay.
Its the "dumb relay" idea that allows for the censorship resistance; and as a result provides freedom of association.
Hope this clarifies

Since no one asked we've finally delivered: a full-blown FUSE filesystem for all Nostr events and metadata.
nak fs /mnt
cd /mnt/hodlbod@coracle.social
I was going to make a shiny video of this but the result was too bad, so please someone make one and post it here.
In the meantime I have these amazing screenshots of the most beautiful file explorer I could find on my computer:
