So glad to see you have the tools now to turn your ideas into reality. I think this trend will completely revolutionize computer science. Please keep building.

It seems like, the radio waves from 5G, phones, wireless headphones etc, is actually damaging our DNA & brain, causing cancer & effects similar to nuclear radiation, just more slowly.
In fact, this whole idea of ionizing vs non-ionizing radiation might actually be built on a flawed principle.

If you already know your way around, you can basically do all the core things you’d do in Photoshop, way more than people expect.
But it’s not just that GIMP is different from Photoshop, it’s also not the most optimal design. I get why they chose this layout back then, probably to avoid an Adobe lawsuit, which was a real risk. But now, with so many apps openly copying Photoshop, GIMP should really give us better "layout & more" options.
We definitely can’t wait another 20 years for that update. GIMP is seriously needed, especially with adobe holding users hostage over subscription cancellations.

2025-04-14 16:55:51

Why is there no real competition for Adobe? GIMP?
GIMP is way more capable than you’d expect. But the UI, honestly, one of the worst, & it’s been like that forever.
They pushed some major updates recently, like non-destructive editing & proper layering, & much more, some pretty fundamental stuff, a genuine milestones. But the UX barely changed.
It’s a perfect example of how bad design ruining great open-source software.
Blender managed to avoid this fate, I still don’t understand exactly how they did it

No, it doesn’t support Dolby, but you’ll truly get to experience lossless music. That’s kind of a main objective. It won’t change the audio, it’ll be exactly as the artists intended. It has huge dual dynamic audio drivers to capture all the details.
There are physical switches for customizing bass, vocals, and more, you can do all of that without fundamentally changing the sound.

just get it, they cost $20. there are even some cheaper options & still better than most TWS.

2025-04-13 18:59:43

Going wireless was a way bigger compromise than we realized back then.
These IEMs cost just a fraction of airpods or any decent TWS, yet they give you objectively better sound, zero latency, & no battery nonsense.
I even got a 3.5mm to type-C adapter with a built-in DAC. I’m not going back, you just can’t.

very fair, pcvr is definitely the way to go then. in fact, the guy i mentioned in my previous reply, i highly recommend checking out that thread, or maybe even talking to him. he had a strong opinion about my choice of meta quest, which i totally get.
he suggested a headset with not only open hardware but also a new tracking technology that’s kind of becoming an industry standard, developed by htc and valve.
i’m also planning to explore the pcvr space, maybe in a few months. by then, i’ll have a better answer.

Maybe it’s a harsh take, but the reality is, most wars today are either partly or directly because of US, or at least within their power to stop.
After the USSR collapsed, they’ve held full hegemony over war worldwide. Things are shifting, but there’s still a long road ahead.

On Nostr, the Web of Trust based feed makes a lot more sense than a strict following feed.
You can set the depth, friends of friends, or even 3–4 degrees out. It’s a great way to discover new people & expand your web of trust by interacting and following them.
It filters spam, works trustlessly, & just feels like the perfect system for Nostr. At least to me.

one thing though, meta can end this anytime.
most common way needs an app from quest store. if they remove it, sideloading gets way harder.
& with full hardware control, they can even kill previously sideloaded apps in one update.
so that’s always a possibility.

meta quest os is android under the hood. you can technically access it file system, install apks, maybe even root it.
it has a debug mode it’s kinda like a official jailbreak, lets you install alt stores like sidequest, bypassing quest store.
hardware is solid on quest 3. but if you’re after future hardware upgrades, look into pc vr

privacy is a fair reason, especially since the only decent option is meta quest, apple just doesn’t have any apps/games yet & the rest of them are bit niche.
my mom also hates vr but for different reasons, she says this feels very dystopian, she says this is not the future she wants to see, where everyone is just on these glasses 24x7. i am acceleration, but i understand her perspective.

2025-04-07 23:17:00

many people think of vr experience like having a giant screen in front of your eyes.
no, it’s a completely different experience, it’s truly immersive.
in fact, it’s kinda scary how easily you can trick your brain. with just the sound of wind or a whisper, you can feel a literal sensation, just because your body expects it. it’s insane.

every 2 weeks, i take a part of my income & buy some bitcoin. some of it goes to my lightning wallet for daily spending, subscriptions & the rest straight into my hardware wallet, & i basically forget about it. i’ve been doing this for over 3 years now, sometimes small amounts, sometimes with delays, but never missed & i’m about to do it again.
someday, i might write more about this in detail, because i’m not doing it like some fanatic. i actually try to stay as rational as i can with money. i genuinely believe bitcoin is the best vehicle for storing long-term wealth. i mean that.

Extremely sorry for the delay, I completely forgot. So, here is the initial version of that endpoint.
You might have to change the file name to index for it to work properly. You can deploy it on Vercel, Cloudflare, or any platform with server action support.
I’ve created a different version where you can basically have multiple relays, and that also has some other features. Once that is ready, I’ll share that with you as well. But for the current version, this is the code for it.

in production, it works like a normal api, you just send the required parameters. in this case, it needs a relay and at least one filter to return a response.
if you’re deploying it for your own production, i can share the code with you. i’ll be open-sourcing it anyway. I’m just little busy these days.

i recently built this serverless nostr api, you can choose any relay. it supports traditional nostr filters like kind, id, tag, and more. cors are *, so you can use it anywhere, you can even paste the url directly in your browser.

there’s no better indicator than having a meaningful interaction with someone, whether it’s through a reaction, a reply, agreeing or disagreeing, as long as it’s real.

it’s pretty accurate, but specifics matter. here, we don’t know what kind of hypervisor we’re getting with our android device. traditionally, hypervisors are used in data centers, it’s bare-metal

2025-03-10 08:59:16

- reply

not sure about the specifics, but in a traditional hypervisor, you get much lower-level control, hardware root access. you can create multiple isolations, each acting as its own server.
when you rent from amazon, you’re basically running on a hypervisor inside a large server. there are also security, performance, and file system access considerations.

any thoughts on strfry relay? that’s what i’m currently using. or is there any relay implementation more targeted towards apps? for example, if an app wants to use a relay as the majority of its backend, is there anything built for that, or do people just use strfry most of the time?

i have a question for you—it might also relate to what you’re doing now.
i want to set up a fast, lightweight relay dedicated to events like a paywall podcast event, but it has to be light & fast. i need to use it on my client to fetch those events & also be able to make requests from my server function to get & process relay data.
i’m not expecting an exact answer, just your thoughts & experience while building this stuff—you might be able to point me to something.

i think the next decade is going to be very interesting, not just for computer science, but for business and other forms of engineering.
i don’t think many people truly realize that these models/agents might make the entire concept of a workforce irrelevant, especially in technical fields.
someone with a deeper understanding, who can be more specific with these models, might outcompete 100% of casual workers alone. people & companies are not ready for it.

Should you still learn coding even if AI automates it all in the next decade? Absolutely. Think about it, people still learned C even if they never built anything with it. Why? Because it gave them a deep understanding of computers, how they think, how they process data, how memory works. Without that foundation, the code AI spits out will just feel like magic. You won’t know if it’s right, if it’s efficient, or even how to fix it when it breaks.
In fact, this might be the best time to learn computer science. If you know what you’re doing, you could soon be running hundreds of AI agents, automating work exactly how you want. You’ll be the one calling the shots, not just relying on whatever AI gives you. With the right skills, you could outcompete entire companies—right from your own room. And if you’re paying attention, you already know this is coming.

In the API, you can set the reasoning time, & it’ll also tell you the cost for each session in the response. This is some legendary stuff. https://image.nostr.build/8e3bc76f053c1a2bc2f84d953e8eb7241b914fdb6b210d8337ba1e4aadc229a1.jpg https://image.nostr.build/2ac4986e0ab4b4c3e29e67ea377521babf10bc5889159c31db7ad996f1e219b1.png #note16ps…8axp

We should totally make it for Meta Quest, that's where all the real VR users are! I was just thinking about turning my Nostrnet into a VR app, you can already use it with Deo VR.

it's the best model for coding & math stuff. nothing else even comes close!

this is a serious violation of people’s basic right to privacy. they’re using these spywares to monitor us 24/7, tracking our every activity. this future is unacceptable. #note1e0g…serj

So, some clients let you undo accidental reposts, and others just keep posting over and over.

Google secretly installed this app on various Android devices without users’ permission.
Reports suggest that it can scan through your photo gallery and takes up 2GB of storage.
You might want to check your phones; you can just uninstall it from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.safetycore
