I'm not judging any particular academic here, because I haven't read any academic paper, but it's not necessary at this point. No technology exists that can achieve the claim, so I don't see any reason to dig deeper into something that smells too much of BS already.

This is likely fake. We don't have imagining technology that can see underground like that. They claim to have used Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to achieve this. Do yourself a favor and go ask ChatGPT, "Can Synthetic Aperture Radar see things underground?" The answer is basically no.

You're missing something. Nostr does not scale.
It will only ever be a small handful of people excited about a future that is not coming.
It cannot and will never even be a quarter of the size of Twitter, for example.
Why? Even all the Nostr developers will tell you, you should connect to around 3 relays. No more.
So if people want to be able to see each other, well, then they all need to connect to the same popular relays. That is a return to centralization.
Nostr will only ever be either:
- small groups of people who can't easily find or speak to the rest of the world (like right now), or
- a massive community of people but very censored and centralized, just like legacy social media (which kind of defeats the entire purpose of Nostr in the first place).
Nostr cannot be decentralized, unstoppable, and yet also massive, unless the developers make a profound shift in how notes move through relays to be more like a gossip protocol.

Who created #Amethyst? #asknostr

2025-02-23 05:31:32

In Amethyst, when a note includes a medium to long URL, it gets truncated.
Ie. It looks something like "https://example.com/..." where the "..." represents stuff you cannot see.
Is there no way to preview the entire URL without being forced to click it?
A long press nothing.
And regular tap simply opens the URL.
For the sake of #privacy and #security, it's not good that #Amethyst is obscuring 99% of URLs.
Is there any way to see the full URL without being forced to visit it?

The majority of people seem likely to remain apathetic.
Most people are likely to continue giving up their privacy so long as it gains them some amount of convenience.
Most people are likely to continue using fiat over Bitcoin as long as it's more convenience (less governmental road blocks).
Most people are likely to continue to have someone else (banks) custody their finances for the sake of "convenience.
Teaching your average person how to secure their private keys and still be able to use them when they need to is beyond what the average person wants to deal with.
Unless civilization slips into utter tyranny, average people won't be pushed to take matters into their own hands.

Ubuntu is great because it's easy, but at the cost of having introduced a lot of complexity and bloat. Using Arch or Debian reduces complexity by stripping some of that away, but requires more technical understanding from the user. If you can manage, it's probably a better way to go.

I tried Phoenix Wallet a long time ago, but the fees were so high (on par with on chain transactions), which kind of defeats the point of using L2. Maybe they've gotten better since then?
As for failed payments, I don't know whose fault it is. It happens with all sorts of different vendors. And then some days it works. All I know is it hasn't been very reliable.

With centralized wallets like Wallet of Satashi, sure, maybe. Self custody is a pain in the ass though. Breez Wallet payments fail often.

Gitlab even required that I provide a credit card.
I find this very disturbing. The open source community is cutting off it's talent pool by using Github or Gitlab.
I don't think people realize just how significant of a loss this is.

Regarding the deleted post, it might just be a latency thing. I was trying to view your other posts, but there were none. Then about 10 minutes later they started showing up. I guess sometimes it takes time for information to propagate in distributed systems, especially over Tor. Also, how old was the deleted post? Many free relays delete posts after a certain amount of time, according to anecdotes, and it happened to me as well, but my post was definitely more than a month old.

Individual relays can decide to stop hosting your posts, but as long as some other relays keep them, then people can see them. This is why it's a good idea to connect to many relays simultaneously. It seems very unlikely that all relays would drop your posts.
How do you know your post was censored? Were people interacting with the post for a while before it suddenly vanished, or what?
