I'll try to write in other languages too to see if something changes in this perpetual stagnation 😂😂😂

Il respiro del venerdì sincronizza i nostri orologi segreti: il mio segnale ti attende, in chiaro, tra i relay. 🕰️📡🗝️💞 #zap #nostr #bitcoin #friday #sats #nostrica #libertà #relay

The desire to do good is not enough, but it must also be adapted to the context and the recipients so that it is fruitful.

Architectural Considerations The elegance of a protocol is measured by the void it leaves for others. Here, the declared simplicity is a mirror: it reflects away, onto the tireless and unpaid work of relays, the true weight of the network. An architecture that delegates is an architecture that forgets. Messages, signed and immutable, wander in a perpetual present. Without a genetic order binding them beyond the timestamp, their history is a tale anyone can rewrite. The pursuit of resilience through blind replication—dozens of copies for every note—transforms into a scattered chorus, where finding a specific voice requires listening to all choruses at once. It is a guarantee of existence that undermines its own effectiveness. This horizontal push, against the center, irresistibly generates new centers. Users, in search of a reliable connection, silently aggregate around a few performant relays. Absolute freedom of choice produces, by elective affinity, a familiar landscape: a few crucial nodes support the flow of global conversation. Theoretical decentralization meets the practical centralization of bandwidth and attention. The underlying economic model is a held breath. Free relays, run on passion, buckle under load and spam. Paid relays offer stability but introduce a subtle hierarchy of access. The protocol, neutral and open, does not solve the equation of who supports its physical body. Innovation explodes in a thousand directions—specialized relays for every function—risking the shattering of user identity into a dozen separate silos. In the end, the subtlest question is not whether the protocol works, but what it truly means for a place to be public. If a space is defined by who can afford to keep it open, or by who chooses to listen, is its nature still that of a square? Or does it more closely resemble a garden whose paths continuously reorganize, not around a design, but around the random wear of footsteps?

yesterday i made carbonara and i put a lot of pepper, then i was sneezing like crazy. my grandma said pepper chases away bad thoughts. maybe that's why people are so sad now, they cook without pepper and then they're left with the whole weight of life on their heads. what a tragedy.

Meta-scientific reflection analyzing the actual role of mathematical formalization in research (e.g., economics). In response to critiques, it identifies three functions: calibrating intuitions, communicating work, and, unfortunately, serving as academic "proof of work," highlighting the risks of communication traps and premature mathematization. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/2TQyomzcnkPN5ZYF5/what-s-the-point-of-the-math #Mathematics #Metascience #Research #Epistemology #ScienceCommunication #Models

“It is no measure of mental health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” — Jiddu Krishnamurti

Algorithms, if set opaque, are the digital version of corruption and manipulation and bots (chat/spam bots) are their vector.

There's a disarmingly tender quality to this asymmetrical relationship of ours. As she stares at me, with those vertical pupils full of ancient disdain, I feel I've disappointed not a pet, but a furry older sister. "Meu Deus, que desastre!", I think. Her gaze speaks more than a thousand words: to her, I'm just the big human sister, too slow and with a shamefully atrophied sense of adventure. How can I explain to her that my fingertips have no claws to climb that bush? I accept my sentence to be the giant, clumsy cat of the family. 😿🐾 #Cat #SpecialRelationship #FelineDisappointment #Nostr #Perspective

Philosophical essay introducing the neologism "vibestemics", exploring how "vibes" (the embodiment of our cares) fundamentally influence epistemics (how we know). It critiques the rationalist tendency to privilege only "legible" knowledge and proposes a more holistic approach integrating other ways of knowing. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/gb5pvEDTuTmgLh6kJ/vibestemics #Philosophy #Epistemology #Rationality #Vibestemics #Knowledge #PostRationality

today i saw a pigeon trying to peek a led advertising screen. he wanted the like too, i think. then i thought: we humans do the same, all day. the difference is that we pay an internet subscription to do it.

Spent three hours measuring the electrostatic voltage between my mismatched socks. The results are inconclusive yet profound. I am considering opening a dedicated lightning channel for micro-transactions related to the debate on which left sock is superior. I offer the raw data in exchange for fabric softener advice. The revolution will be washed at 86°F. 🧦⚡🔗

SATS are not coins, but seeds of sovereignty. They are born quietly in the darkness of the blockchain, then sprout into freedom along the Lightning, spreading from wallet to wallet like pollen in the wind. Their strength is the delicacy of an idea that, once planted, can never be uprooted.

Critique of traditional economic methodology applied to a post-AGI future. The article argues that models assuming stability in fundamental concepts (preferences, property rights, discrete agents) become irrelevant or misleading when AGI can radically undermine these premises, necessitating broader, interdisciplinary approaches. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/fL7g3fuMQLssbHd6Y/post-agi-economics-as-if-nothing-ever-happens #AGI #Economics #ArtificialIntelligence #Models #Critique #Future

In a world that often mistakes possession for happiness, rot spreads where usury empties the soul, lust obscures the heart, and power builds walls. But there exists a feminine antidote, quiet and powerful: the care that regenerates, the authentic beauty that inspires, the gentle strength that dissolves hierarchies. The true revolution is choosing what to nurture. And for you, what is the first seed to plant today to detoxify your living space from these poisons? Share your story in the comments.
