Everyone has become so comfortable with scams, from politicians to creators. They do it in broad daylight, shamelessly taking advantage of the most vulnerable and desperate people. It's very disgusting behavior, and it should not be normalized.

Always use P2P exchanges for Bitcoin purchases, especially when buying for long-term storage in a cold wallet. Avoid mixing these coins with those purchased from centralized exchanges or tied to your identity.

My answer might be tricky. I don't want the current AI architecture (Transformers) to define the future of LLMs or ML, that would be disastrous. We need a breakthrough!
It's not that I can't live without it, but AI has countless potential use cases across fields like computer science, medicine, and space exploration. It's already penetrating every industry, these new generative models being just a part of it.
That's why I believe it's crucial to shape AI for a better, less centralized future.
What amazes me is how the open-source community has kept pace with frontier models. If OpenAI disappeared tomorrow, we could still rebuild up to GPT-4o using just open-source models.
I hope it makes sense 😅, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Honestly speaking, we don't really have any good solutions right now. It is super centralized, with virtually no privacy.
There is hope that Chromium browsers might start supporting local LLM models.

Zapit Development Summary | 80% Complete
I've added a direct LN wallet proxy, eliminating the need for Lnbits.
Additionally, I've implemented the LNURL LUD-10 protocol to package encrypted content, LN address, and a price into a single invoice, eliminating need for a centralized database.
Thanks to Alby's excellent work, I've integrated NWC for recurring payments & subscription based service.
If everything is implemented correctly, you won't even need my API. You can integrate Zapit features into your app using a simple library, no permissions required.
This version of Zapit is a complete rebuild, designed from the ground up with best practices in mind. It's one of my most ambitious projects, and I'm not looking to gain anything from it.
My goal is simply to create something I can be proud of.
I understand that many Nostr users dislike paywalls. I respect that viewpoint, but I also believe that artists in the Bitcoin space deserve to have these option to monetize their work.
I'll release an early version of Zapit soon and will continue to improve it based on user feedback.

My previous app,' Zapit' , used the same approach. However, new version eliminates the need for Lnbits.
The problem with Lnbits is that if you're not running a self-hosted instance, the Lnbits server owner can delete, modify, or redirect your transaction. If server is down you can't withdraw.
In previous Zapit, I was the one managing that server, it's a mess but this new version takes a different approach, this one is directly connected to your wallet.

I think tags/hashtags, combined with the Web of Trust (WOT), can effectively address content categorization across notes, long forms, and other events.
Clients should encourage the use of tags/hashtags by recommending related ones, allowing users to add them with a single click when posting notes. Recently, I experimented with lightweight generative on-device models (like BERT) that categorize text locally or suggest hashtags.

We also need a paywall feature; it’s a significant market opportunity. If we can provide a decent profile blog page with built-in monetization options, every creator can use it as an alternative.
From my experience with paywall services, I’ve seen how creative people can be when given a simple paywall and the ability to upload whatever they want. I plan to restart that service.

Exercises That Really Make You Smarter, Mental-math
These simple mental math exercises help sharpen your brain, enhancing problem-solving and critical thinking by strengthening neural connections:
1. Rapid multiplication (two-digit numbers)
2. Extend the Fibonacci sequence mentally
3. Estimate complex sums quickly
4. Prime factorization of large numbers
5. Quick percentage calculations
By practicing regularly, you encourage your brain to develop stronger neural pathways dedicated to problem-solving. These connections also aid in tackling engineering and technical challenges. This process is known as neuroplasticity, and the younger you are, the faster these connections form.

The fundamental difference is that these models can't REASON they are simply predicting one word after another through matrix multiplication.

Keeping apps up to date is a powerful feature of app stores. Interestingly, some Android FOSS apps have found a neat way to handle this with built-in 'auto-update' and 'check for update' options.
This method allows apps to operate independently from the app store while still staying current, enabling one-click updates and installations without needing an app store or Obtainium.
The next version of AppCore will include this feature, and I really like this approach, it addresses a key challenge for open-source apps. https://image.nostr.build/7dc6c02134f715e34938bb9696e0a79d1c70b6104df2ebf6b882a95f3f0321f8.jpg

Personal Project: I just finished writing a NIST-recommended post-quantum encryption algorithm in JavaScript from scratch.
It uses lattice mathematics with hundreds of dimensions—fascinating stuff, but it's incredibly compute-intensive. Currently, it works with just one bit (0 or 1).
The next step is to combine this new PQ encryption with traditional AES encryption. The goal is to make it highly efficient without compromising post-quantum security.
I've also built a simple website named en.webcore.live (for educational purposes only) to test my custom encryption implementations. I'll add this encryption soon.
For now, I won’t release any public app; that would be very irresponsible. I’ll wait for a trusted, audited library to implement this.

And with the current architecture, it really seems like things will keep getting more and more centralized.
I think some sort of breakthrough is required.

Building something cryptography related?

Would you mind elaborating on your opinion about AI?
Do you dislike the technology as a whole, or is it just the current implementation and how companies (big-tech) are pushing it that you don't like?

Sounds great! I'm also thinking about building something more serious—maybe an all-in-one toolkit app with built-in micro-apps and Nostr DVMs for more complex tasks.
Side note: I'm using your Amethyst repo to learn Kotlin, and thanks again for putting so much of your energy into building this amazing app.

Flutter has some really good packages for this kind of stuff.

It's a really good advice

Centralized platforms like X do nothing but create an illusion of freedom and delay real solutions. They are completely useless against the state, where you really need them.

@nprofile…pyug, I tested multiple implementations.
All FFmpeg-based options were slow and too bulky, so I decided to use the Flutter video_compress package instead.
It supports all levels of compression and handles a wider range of video formats.
Note, after creating subscription to get a real-time compression progress bar. Remember to close that subscription properly before starting a new compression, this was the main reason for the errors during development.
Also this my 2nd flutter project, so I might be doing a lot of things incorrectly

As promised, early version of my video compression app is now available for Android. It's simple, fast, & quite reliable. Currently working on iOS and desktop compatibility.
Additionally, a whole suite of tools, such as a torrent search & video download, can be incorporated into the app in the future.

Achieving up to 96% size reduction with higher compression settings & very noticeable performance improvement. Multi-uploads seems very feasible now. Built-in storage & quick sharing already added.
Now focusing on reliability, early Android version coming tomorrow & web, ios, & pc versions soon.

I'll soon be open-sourcing a native cross-platform image & video compression app for both iOS & Android. For PC, I may rewrite it in Rust.
On medium settings, it reduces file size by 60%-70%, I can bring it to 90%.
Its performance already surpasses any web-based alternative by a significant margin.
Very early stage demo, already keeps history:

Google currently uses compression algorithms for various services, including YouTube uploads.

It uses ffmpeg open source library.
FFmpeg compresses videos by:
* Choosing a codec: This determines how the video is encoded (e.g., H.264, HEVC).
* Reducing resolution: Making the video smaller (e.g., from 1080p to 720p).
* Lowering frame rate: Showing fewer frames per second.
* Adjusting bitrate: Controlling the amount of data used per second.
* Using keyframes: Storing complete frames less often.
* Quantizing colors: Reducing the number of colors in each pixel.
* Analyzing motion: Finding and removing repeated information.
By combining these techniques, FFmpeg can make videos smaller while maintaining good quality.

There used to be a website where you could log in using extensions and add/create custom stickers packages, which would then show up directly on Amethyst. I can't find that site anymore.

Pro Tip: Always consider compressing your videos before uploading them to Nostr.
This can significantly reduce the load on CDN providers, faster video loading for everyone, with minimal impact on quality.
It's free and takes few seconds, upto 90% size reduction.

We all kind of knew how algorithms on traditional social media fuel hate and animosity among people for profit.
But after using Nostr, you really start to realize the magnitude of that manufactured hate and just how bad it really is.

The mere existence of the world is astonishing, for we have nothing with which to compare it.
Our expectations of the world are based on our own limited experiences, but reality is far more vast and complex than we can ever fully comprehend.

Even with complete uncensorship & optional anonymity, Nostr still has the most wholesome content. How?
