Im glad i almost scooped the launch of this from anthropic, a company with thousands of engineers and a tool for one of their own products. Maybe a good sign i should keep at it 😅 View quoted note →

since code is so cheap to generate, an ai can basically replicate your product just by looking at it, opensource just makes it easier to steal your architecture if you’re actually good at programming/agentic engineering and have built a good codebase. Oops, doesn’t matter, joe bob down the street now cloned your engineering expertise at the click of the button and is now selling your product. Seriously reconsidering my stance on open source in the agentic era. View quoted note →

Like whats the point of open source anymore, just to make it easier for your competitors to carbon copy your entire startup at the click of a button ? before it made sense for sourcing free labour and collaboration, but copying is so much more powerful now. Im starting to think opensource is going to get less popular View quoted note →

Are software licenses like GPL useless now that you can create a completely rewritten version of an entire codebase at the click of a button?

nostrdb doesn’t support replaceable notes because replaceable notes are a terrible idea. it does something much better: it stores every version of the replaceable note, and recovers replaceable note queries using a special query called a fold. Fold queries allow you to perform any logic you want while walking a filter. Whats cool about this is that you could have a query that shows the last 3 versions of each replaceable event. This can be useful for showing things like how your contact list has changed over time. image

the power if nostrdb is starting to show when you are negentropy syncing tens of thousands of encrypted notes that get automatically decrypted and unwrapped in a dedicated threadpool. agentium can send tens of thousands of private notes over many sessions: every time an agent does tool calls, sends a message, etc. so the performance gains from nostrdb is pretty significant.

been using codex a bit in agentium. codex is way more autistic than opus. I makes file edits using python scripts. what a weirdo. it's cool I can experiment with both of then remotely on the go via the same interface now image

I stopped running my clawdbot, gotta conserve tokens for actually useful work (swarm of non-autonomous coding agents) jex0 was useful for certain things, but it still felt like a waste of tokens for most of the things it was doing.
