Are there any nostr web apps that use “no backend” architecture? To me, that is a major selling point of nostr, but it seems that not many are taking advantage of it.

There’s a number of NIPs that add larger amounts of complexity. I don’t like it when they do that

Whether you agree with them or not, nostr would serve identitarian movements well. They are respectful and follow the rules. They just have views that advertisers don’t like.

Remember when, after Trump got elected, Zuckerberg told everyone he was going to stop the censorship and that it was all Biden's fault? Well, he r...

You know, Unison might be the answer to LLM slop. When each function is content-addressable, with a strong meaningful type system, code becomes actually re-usable. So the only code you’re writing is meaningful (theoretically). Feels less scammy than figuring out how to get free crap from an LLM and shovel it onto a greater fool. View quoted note →

If Nostr UX was more like putting up posters/flyers around in various places, people would get a better idea of the expectations around deletions and what that entails View quoted note →

You wrote your book with AI? That’s crazy because I read your book with AI.

Might as well have a note “there is no good UX in a distributed system”

Has anyone re-discovered the joy of programming recently? If so, how? I think it would have to be something like a quiet, small, interesting language. Maybe Factor, Pharo, Zig? View quoted note →

Realistically, how does @Bitkey stop a wrench attack? They require you contact your recovery helpers if you want to spend more than X amount? Important thoughts for Bitcoin Vegas coming up

Computer programming genuinely isn’t fun anymore. The leet coders and LLM slop ruined it.

Photographers are adopting Substack instead of the typical Instagram knock-offs

I prefer @Maple AI because it lets me pay with USD. (Why would I ever spend bitcoin?) View quoted note →

There is big money to be made in service that detect and block AI content. The only question is how can you do it? Constant arms race. The best solution is seemingly web of trust. You just trust that the people you are connected with don’t use it. Web of humanity, or something.

Has anyone figured out a UX for relay management that includes this sort of stuff. Like “who hangs out here” info for relay management @Fabian @Martti Malmi @General Ned Ludd @rabble View quoted note →

Nostur has awesome control for relays (select which ones to read from, post to, and search on). But I’m realizing that I have literally no information as to which relays are better than others. I want to reduce the amount of relays but how? I don’t personally know anyone running any of these. It’s like choosing Home Depot or Lowe’s. Literally the same, makes no difference.
