Who would have thought, the new ChatGPT o1 is actually writing usable code. Still stupid of course, but way way better than before.

I think follower counts have their merits, but I see the problems with it. A good replacement for a general follower count could be "number of followers that I follow too." That is not as easy to game and is way more meaningful than just random people following someone.

GM nostr. Who is excited for the Apple Keynote today? Not in the market for new hardware right now, but can’t wait to see the new iOS and macOS. Hopefully some of the AI tools will be available in Europe, it was rumored that they might be on macOS and only iOS will be left out due to regulations.

There are a few good ones, all PC game ports, but for the most part, the only way to play good games on mobile is through emulators. I have a Steam Deck, so I don't do that on phones or tablets for the most part, but I do like using ScummVM for old point & click adventures on mobile, it's even available for iPad.

And relay choice, both in implementation and deployment.

It would be cool if everyone had their own local relay that would use this approach but not to let other people write, but to automatically cache your own posts and those from your web of trust. Other people can then get any posts of people you interact with from your relay. That would make it work a bit like the gossip protocol in Secure Scuttlebutt where you can share all the posts you downloaded with others, making the network much more decentralized and less reliant on big relays everyone uses which would then mainly be used for discovery. Not sure if something like this exists for Nostr yet, I've been away for a year 🤣

The "Summarize YouTube video" AI prompt for Raycast is so good. It's insane that it doesn't come with it by default. I highly recommend adding it.
It lets you get a quick overview of any YouTube video so you either don't have to watch it but can quickly get the gist in a few seconds, or helps you decide if it is worth watching.

Now that’s a blast from the past. Just saw on the Raycast newsletter that Diggnation is back, with Alex Ulbrecht and Kevin Rose.

Internet archive lost its appeal. Was to be expected but still very bad for the Internet.

I started eating Manuka honey a couple of days ago, lets see if that helps a little bit with my general health since the doctors have been quite useless 😅

What is really cool is that it can easily translate American recipes into the metric system so I can understand them :) And it can describe a computer as Terry Pratchett would:
"Ah, my dear friend, let me tell you a tale of the magical devices we call computers. They are powerful wizards, capable of performing incredible feats of magic with the mere flick of a switch.
You see, within the computer lies a cunning imp known as the central processing unit, or CPU for short. This imp is the brains of the operation, directing all the other components like a master conductor.
The CPU is constantly busy, receiving instructions from a spellbook known as memory. These instructions are written in a language known as code, and they tell the CPU what tasks to perform.
As the CPU works its magic, it relies on a trusty companion known as the memory or RAM, which acts as its spellbook. The memory stores all the information the CPU needs to perform its tasks, such as the code for the programs you are running and the data you are working with.“

Yeah, not sure when. I did use it when it was worth $1 for sure, but I do believe I tried it out even before that, when it was just cents, but I can’t remember :)
