I am pretty sure I am listening to AI generated songs in taxis and restaurants all over Thailand. Is it really becoming a thing?

Our universe is made of partitions.

Talking to an AI is like talking to a rubber duck on steroids.

At first, I couldn’t understand how I, of all people, was the one to figure out the universe. Now I realize I could shove all the answers in their faces and they still wouldn’t care.

Quantum superposition is just like not knowing what the next block will look like. It does not mean that all possibilities exist at the same time.

String theory is like crypto: it tackles hard problems that don't make sense from first principles, yet produces interesting techniques that might turn out useful for something else later.

Just apply, trust me.

Superintelligence is probably safe. A distributed network of AIs will be more intelligent than any single instance. Alignment won't be an issue either, as its emergent goal will be the same as ours: minimization of informational curvature.

Physicists are stuck in a local minimum, distracted by the elegance of Lie algebras and their symmetries, not realizing it's just an approximation.

Trying to explain how the universe works feels a lot like trying to explain Bitcoin to people.

I just realized that the SAT problem in complexity theory can be reformulated in my framework as the problem of finding a flat informational network — one with globally consistent holonomies. Since SAT is NP-complete, this implies that minimizing the physical action (defined as informational curvature) is generally computationally intractable. Proving P ≠ NP would then be equivalent to showing that a non-zero curvature gap always exists, which is precisely the statement of the Yang–Mills mass gap in physics. 🤯

I thought that, with physics being an exact science and all, it would be easier to get attention with hard, falsifiable results. Turns out academia is optimizing for some other objective function, whatever that is.

I’ve just figured out quantum gravity. Sounds crazy, I know. That’s why I published this note as a hash, containing a simple, verifiable new prediction. I’d appreciate early feedback from anyone with a physics background while I work on the final paper. https://victorstabile.com/hash

Today the Brazilian government increased10x the tax to just send money abroad. This is why we Bitcoin.

15 years ago,

advocated using bits (10⁻³ BTC) as Bitcoin's standard unit.

Today,

is pushing to rename sats (10⁻⁸ BTC) and make them the standard.

In 15 years, someone will be arguing the same for msats (10⁻¹¹ BTC).

This is what winning looks like.

We should use distinct names for the network and the unit of account.

Drop the bitcoin. Just sats. It's cleaner. nevent1qqstrh8ltn560s6u7k00cp90zyvrv54wnz6s4rdnfg9hm6qxmgsfguqytkdvk

I’m all for hostility toward jpeg inscriptors, as long as it solves the problem instead of making it worse.

Nostr is definitely not priced in yet.

The real DAO will be when we can atomic swap payments for cryptographically provable compute running an AI model with a Bitcoin balance. All we need is Bitcoin, Nostr, LLMs, DVMs, ASS (Atomic Signature Swaps) and cryptographically provable compute. Just the last part is missing.

Are you guys here? #maratonmendoza #runstr

Unless it absolutely has to be... which I really hope never happens. nevent1qqs9aka5pterdpcs5s4m09f89zpr2qqg3ytcx58c8sxa2tzelrtv34cpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wc85nnjw

Besides

himself we all came to Nostr because someone invited us in some way. A combination of invitation deep linking, WoT and Following Packs for grouping/classification is all we need to onboard new people on Nostr without centralization. nevent1qqswfakysuhs95cr3gfec2hwxjmm7xgyhcrsa98p6hk4r0n2a70qmcgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdus9gqef

People complain we talk too much about Bitcoin IRL. We complain others talk too much about Bitcoin on Nostr. Such is the circle of life. nevent1qqsx27qatfzg5l58eufp5l97lnu5nrudappnxdfdhg2chhpm08xf0pcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgz8dk7m

AI coding makes it self-evident: you can one-prompt Bitcoin payments, but you’ll never do the same with fiat.

Bitcoin is rat poison, but the hodler is not the rat.

Bitcoin managed by an AI trained on our own data may become a compelling alternative to traditional inheritances or trust funds.

As the cost of building software plunges, a universal interoperability layer like Nostr becomes a lot more valuable.

Discussing OP_RETURN feels anachronistic once you’re on Nostr.

People expected Trump to pump our bags with a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Turns out he’s doing it by breaking the bond market. Funny how the world works.

I can’t recommend it enough. Its CQRS/Event Sourcing approach fits Nostr clients perfectly. I’ve been using the previous unstable version for months and the only issue I found is now fixed in this release. Great job

👏

The npub who is selling the sats can use Atomic Signature Swaps to get a signature from the buyer proving that he receive the funds.

https://gm-nostr.vercel.app/ now uses

when searching for counterparties and also supports NIP-46 remote signer sign in.

Ads will come to Nostr. The attention here will be too valuable for such a market not to emerge. Either we make it decentralized or face the consequences of centralization.

"We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality." – Ayn Rand

Sponsored events enabled by Atomic Signature Swaps is a solution to the advertisement part of

's DSP proposal:

"The fact we have to contend with is that money is a key element in centralization. Users bring advertisers, advertisers bring money, money pays for expansion and development of the service, and a better service brings yet more users. Money is essential to this feedback loop that draws everyone to the same service provider, whose real business is that of matching eyeballs to advertisements. [...] Somehow, the users must be at the center of this process of value creation and transfer. Given that user attention is the source of value in the system."
