You either have permissionless identity or reliable bot filtering. Nostr chose the former, all the centralized shit chose the latter (although reliability is still a question). We've just gotta learn how to live with the bots. But that's a good challenge. View quoted note →

GM. Confessions of a vibe-augmented coder: The value of others' open source code went down. My own version is only a prompt away. I was working on something the other way, my AI agent has found a library that was doing exactly what I needed. The AI agent checked it out, said the idea is clever, but wiring and auditing a third party library was more difficult than just doing it from scratch. A friend was making a knowledge retrieval bot. I have a RAG pipeline. I explained to him why keyword search is inferior to semantic vector lookup. He understood. Coded rag. Didn't touch my code. It's amazing, but also it feels very strange. The only thing is when "one prompt away" turns into half day vibing session. We could have saved time and the tokens. But mainly time. It also exaggerates the feeling of someone else's code feeling a bit dirty if you know what I mean. They use a language we don't like. Oh, they don't use poetry or uv for dependency management? They ask me to run docker? OMG, that's dirty, I'll just vibe it myself... What we forget is that open source projects are (sometimes) maintained and updated. We lose that. If someone has an idea to make something better, we don't get that improvement with one git pull. Strange. But also ... My code is exactly for me. Just right. I think a fun thing to do would be to have something like lightning talks, but people would show their pet projects and explain why they are made that way and why they are great. If not using the code itself, we might at least use the ideas.

This is very cool but I think it makes much more sense to put this in mobile, which you can mostly do today (Medical Wikipedia app). And you can run local inference. The missing piece is local RAG. Of course you can install this whole thing locally because Android supports local Linux. View quoted note →

How I actually run OpenClaw in practice. SimpleX, proton mail and drive. Everything stays as local as possible while still being useful, although main inference is cloud. Tts and stt, embeddings, etc is local. No Mac mini required.

I'm not usually a fan of petitions, but it blows my mind that over 7900 Paraguayan tax residents (citizens and expats) have signed petition against dangerous reporting that puts people at risk. People actually care. And these are not random people from internet, but tax residents. You have to sign with your tax id. All is not lost. And by all I mean my faith in human brain.
