I got 3 reasonable hypotheses out of open assistant. 30 min classical music a day to improve cognitive function. Increase artichoke consumption to improve processing ability- as measured by standardized tests. Something about olfactory sensitivity correlating highly with purported psychic ability. But then it went to verbal diarrhea mode as I was asking for hypotheses that might surprise me. Have to figure out how to stop that. #grownostr

Looks like I stumped open assistant with my electricity questions. I'm suggesting maybe field theorists had it right. Although, it could have been a spelling mistake I made that caused it's 'brain freeze'.

Why did nostr app devs not put in the J/K keyboard shortcuts? I don't want to complain, but I keep hitting J, only to have nothing happen. I am not even doing it consciously.

Gain of function research on corona virus seems particularly demented, since every attempt to make a vaccine failed. So even if you were crazy enough to think bioweapons should be made, you would avoid corona virus and pick something we had a good track record creating vaccines for. Presumably there's some group of people you want to reliably vaccinate-before you unleash the bioweapon. But this research seems completely nuts. #grownostr

John C. Davorak has talked about a program that could track company email and find people with hidden potential. The company could then promote from within its ranks. But obviously, this died as wokeness rose. If we could do a similar thing on nostr, it could be epic. That email program was decades ago, and there wasn't bitcoin, lightning, or nostr. If we could do it now with nostr, we could hope for things normally only referenced in a fedpost. #grownostr

Trying plebstr. Layout is pretty good. Hashtags don't seem to work yet. And it seems like when search for stuff, I get stuck on the search page and have to close the app and then open it again to get back to timeline or the global feed.

I just had a random thought, because I saw some game someone was promoting to win sats. What if there was a poker game where the first hand was something you could literally just make up- the catch being every card that appeared twice in the first round would disappear. Then everyone would have to draw random cards from the rest of the deck. Would it be interesting- especially for poker players? I'm trying to think of what a skilled poker player would pick in such a game, since creating the ultimate hand is an obvious temptation, but one likely to backfire- since other players are likely to pick those too.
