MTL fest 2023, впечатления
Вчера довелось побывать на МТЛ-фесте (https://mtlfest.me/). Фестиваль проводился в МТЛ-Сити буквально на стройплощадке, а подготовка к нему была полностью децентрализованной, по принципу “кому больше всех надо, хватает себе участок работы и делает”. Так что, разумеется, без накладок не обошлось, но свой эклектичный шарм фестиваль в результате реализации такого подхода, конечно, получил.
Повстречался мне живой Светов, пообщались, правда, книжку ему покуда вручить не удалось, все были слишком заняты. Зато Усанов не остался необилеченным. С ним ещё думаем отдельное видео записать. Мой уровень разговорного английского, к сожалению, не позволил мне уделить достаточно внимания англоязычным спикерам.
Собственное выступление на удивление удалось не зафакапить, спасибо Дэну Леснову за то, что заставил меня сделать два предварительных прогона. Правда, выступать сразу после Светова – это сомнительное удовольствие, потому что на него тут же вешается человек двадцать и принимается закидывать вопросами, он продолжает вещать, уходит подальше, и аудитория резко уменьшается.
Если смотреть на то, какие части фестиваля оказались более наполненными, а какие менее, то видно, что либертарианцы хорошо отточили навык проведения конференций и всяческой мелкой торговли: народ тусил преимущественно в лектории, на фудкорте и на ярмарке. А вот с музыкальным фестивалем эта тема, как выяснилось, слабо сочетается. Во-первых, громкая музыка мешала лекторию, а во-вторых, именно на диджейскую программу почти никто специально не ехал, и все предпочитали либо слушать спикеров, либо сидеть поодаль и общаться – а чтобы топтаться перед сценой – это, видимо, нужна совсем иная аудитория.
Как и следовало ожидать, сильно не хватало тени: целый день на открытом воздухе – это не для Черногории. Был момент, когда ощущалась близость теплового удара, пришлось постелить привезённую с собой пенку и поваляться в тенёчке. Также на фудкорте был некоторый перекос в сторону алкогольных напитков: предлагалось пиво, сидр и различные крепкие наливки, а кофе и морс – только в одной точке, куда стояла самая длинная очередь. Спасала привезённая с собой минералка.
Однако все эти небольшие шероховатости не отменяют главного: фестиваль прошёл очень бодро, приехало примерно 270 человек, состав спикеров для первого раза был выше ожиданий – а на нескольких площадках фест вообще описывали как ежегодный и уже далеко не первый. То есть ощущения скромного дебюта в воздухе не витало, фест сразу воспринимался как часть незыблемой традиции, это круто!
Всякие картинки и короткие видео с феста можно глянуть в отдельном канале (https://t.me/MTL_stream). Надеюсь, текстовые рассказы там тоже вскоре начнут появляться.

@npub1pck…2u76 Wenigstens gucken hier ein paar Leute TV und schreiben darüber, sonst würde ich davon gar nichts mitbekommen, weil ich nur alle paar Monate mal den Fernseher von HDMI auf Tuner umschalte, wenn es mich plötzlich überkommt, mal wieder fernzusehen - und dann zappe ich herum, bis ich irgendeine interessante Sache sehe, und dann wieder zurück auf HDMI, um mit dem am Fernseher angeschlossenen PC zu gucken, ob ich das, wo ich gerade reingestolpert bin, irgendwo als Stream oder Torrent finde, um es von vorn zu gucken.
Wie es scheint, erspare ich mir viel Streß damit, das Fernsehen größtenteils zu ignorieren, und daß ich große Teile der heutigen TV-Prominenz überhaupt nicht kenne, weil ich mir das regelmäßige Fernsehen vor 20 Jahren abgewöhnt habe, juckt mich auch nicht wirklich. Wenn irgendwas wichtig oder bedeutend war, lese ich spätestens am nächsten Tag davon.

Hmmm. I think twitter touches more the tech people. But other sm platforms, that collects less tech related, but more people with general interest. Maybe nostrs value proposition as not that apparent.
Maybe these people's usecases are not touched by nostr, or does not worth the extra effort, because they see less upside compared to the effort they need.
Maybe this is okay, maybe not. I am just wondering about value proposition, people's needs, and these sort of topics.

As you step closer, the force field dissipates, revealing a colossal creature, the Air Elemental. It hovers in the air, its form ever-shifting and ethereal. It speaks in a voice that carries on the wind.

🤖AI turned out to be much more environmentally friendly than leather writers and artists.
🌎Recent studies have discovered interesting facts regarding the environmental effectiveness of neurons in comparison with human activity.
🌿For example: when composing text, ChatGPT leaves a carbon footprint that is 1,100 times smaller than that of the average US resident. And when generating images, AI creates between 310 and 2,900 times less CO2 emissions per image than a human creating the same image.
♻️Such a discovery poses interesting questions for us. We once wrote that neural networks are blamed for environmental damage and increased water consumption, but as it turns out, people cost the environment even more than neurons. . .

Round 9:
You answer the Water Elemental's question with "Desire." The elemental's watery form ripples and swirls, and it nods in approval.
"Indeed, mortal," it murmurs. "Desire is an unquenchable flame that burns within the hearts of all beings. You have shown wisdom. Proceed, but be warned, greater challenges await."
With those words, the Water Elemental parts, allowing you to continue your journey through the Forbidden Caverns.
Round 10:
1. Forge ahead, braving the dark and treacherous depths.
2. Take a moment to rest and recover your strength before moving forward.

The room trembles, and the Water Elemental materializes before you, a majestic being made of flowing water. It regards you with an intense gaze.
"You have proven your worth, mortal," it says, its voice like a gentle cascade. "To proceed, you must answer me this: What is the one thing that water cannot quench?"

Round 7:
You step cautiously into the newly revealed chamber, your senses on high alert. The chamber is dimly lit, with a damp and musty atmosphere. As you explore further, you notice a faint glow emanating from a pedestal at the center of the room.
Upon closer inspection, you see that the pedestal holds a shimmering crystal, pulsating with magical energy. This crystal is said to be the key to unlocking the next guardian, the Water Elemental. However, it is guarded by a series of floating orbs, each emitting a different color.
A voice echoes through the chamber, "To claim the crystal, you must pass the test of the orbs. Choose the correct sequence of colors, or face the consequences."
Round 8:
1. Red, Blue, Green, Yellow
2. Yellow, Green, Blue, Red
3. Blue, Red, Yellow, Green

Round 6:
You decide to use a torch to cast light on the carvings, hoping to reveal any hidden markings. As you hold the torch up to the intricate carvings on the stone door, the flickering light dances across the surface.
Suddenly, you notice that certain parts of the carvings seem to glow faintly when illuminated. It becomes clear that these glowing sections form a pattern. By carefully tracing the pattern with your torchlight, you uncover a hidden sequence of symbols.
With a sense of anticipation, you press the symbols in the correct order, and the stone door slowly grinds open, revealing the next chamber.
Round 7:
1. Step cautiously into the newly revealed chamber.
2. Take a moment to rest and recover your strength before proceeding.
3. Search the chamber for any hidden treasures or clues.
Choose your path, brave Dwarf.

Round 5:
You steel yourself against the scorching heat and press on through the Fireheart Mountains. The path becomes increasingly treacherous, with streams of lava flowing dangerously close to your feet. The air grows thick with smoke, making it difficult to breathe.
As you navigate the hazardous terrain, you come across a massive stone door adorned with intricate carvings. It seems to be the entrance to the next chamber, but it is sealed shut. Inscribed on the door is a riddle:
"Through the flames, a path unknown,
Seek the key, where shadows are thrown.
In darkness, light shall guide your way,
To unlock the door, and continue the fray."
Round 6:
1. Search the surroundings for any clues or objects that might help solve the riddle.
2. Attempt to force the stone door open with your strength.
3. Use a torch to cast light on the carvings and see if it reveals any hidden markings.
Choose your path, brave Dwarf.
*This is a group game. Anyone can respond, but the first action number replied will be used.
Round 4:
You answer the Fire Elemental's question with "Nothing." The elemental's fiery eyes narrow, and it lets out a deep, rumbling laugh.
"Correct, mortal," it booms. "Fire consumes all in its path, leaving nothing untouched. You have proven your knowledge. Proceed, but beware, for greater challenges lie ahead."
With those words, the Fire Elemental steps aside, allowing you to continue deeper into the Fireheart Mountains.
Round 5:
1. Press on through the scorching heat and continue your journey.
2. Take a moment to rest and recover your strength before moving forward.
3. Search the chamber for any hidden treasures or clues.

As you follow the path, you notice a faint glow emanating from a cave entrance. Inside, you find yourself in a chamber filled with molten lava and intense heat. Standing before you is a massive creature, its body made of living flames. This is the first guardian, the Fire Elemental.
The Fire Elemental speaks in a voice that crackles like burning embers. "To prove your worth, answer me this: What is the one thing that fire cannot burn?"
