I've been trying to use Olas on and off, but it never seems to work properly. Photos take forever to load. Old content gets stuck at the top of the feed. etc Today, I tried Unfiltered from the Zapstore. It works out of the box. Guess I have my new Nostr photo app now!

I have known many fellow educators who use ChatGPT or Gemini to produce worksheets, quizzes, and so forth. That part is fairly standard. Heck, they can obviously even make minor tweaks to existing materials with relative ease. However, hallucinations are still a problem. The other day, I met an IBDP physics instructor, who was specifically using Google's NotebookLM for his classes. While other AI tools worked for him, he found that NotebookLM was great for producing IBDP-like assessment questions. He would populate a dozen or more past paper questions of a particular type and then ask the AI to create a series of news questions, using the existing ones as the sole model. Because of the nature of NotebookLM, he found this to be the most accurate way to create new, but true-to-form IBDP-style quiz or test questions for his students. I had to say that I was impressed. I normally had seen the students using this platform to query a given set of materials for answers for their homework or to study for upcoming exams. However, for the teachers to use it for generation of new assessment topics was brilliant in its own right. I was afraid that NotebookLM's own parameters wouldn't allow for extensive creativity, but that physics teacher swore by it. #education #teaching #ai

Has anyone heard of QVAC Workbench? It looks like some kind of AI tool that uses the Pear Stack or whatever to connect your private AI instances between devices. The idea is cool, but part of me is skeptical, as it's being released by...Tether? The same Tether as the stablecoins, right?

Workbench - QVAC by Tether

QVAC is Tether’s answer to centralized AI, an entirely new paradigm where intelligence runs privately, locally, and without permission on any dev...

Who needs their #privacy anyway?

Maybe I'm just an overindulged modern, but does anyone else think that these meal prep serving sizes look way too small? Perhaps the protein helps to fill you up fast, but I fear I'd be way too hungry after this. I'm used to doing more volume eating with a good deal of cabbage, carrots, and other veg. #nutrition #healthstr #asknostr

I've spent the last few days messing around with #Reticulum and have been surprised by the number of people building #Nomadnet sites. Content is still sparse, but the individuals involved are freely broadcasting their own sites over the protocol without interference or ownership by anyone else. I think this is something that Bitcoiners and so many others could and should get behind. #freedomtech View quoted note →

#Reticulum nerds, is there any danger in adding too many interfaces to #MeshChat or #Columba?

I finally got #Meshchat up and running. I basically was lacking the proper, public-facing interfaces necessary to find peers and to find Nomadnet sites. After messing around with this for a few hours, I can't help but feel like I'm back in my old #Bitmessage days. Does anyone else remember chat software? #asknostr #Reticulum @shortwavesurfer2009 View quoted note →

#Reticulum nerds, I need your help. I set up Sideband on an old Android phone, and it seemed to connect to peers by itself. I was able to look at the announcements and find others to connect to all over the planet. I've just installed MeshChat on my desktop, and it says I've not discovered any peers and thus can't receive any announcements. What can I do to connect to everyone else? Any pointers? #asknostr @shortwavesurfer2009
