My point is that is this is not a trade-off but a complete violation of the principles that are used to justify the existence of nostr. Nostr's whole shtick is about "users owning their keys". If I can not change the keys u

Both signal and WhatsApp punt key revocation and recovery to phone number verification, so ultimately these keys belong to phone number provider.

It is not about the difficulty, it's the potential consequences. People also take care of their house keys and their wallets, but If I lose the keys to my house, it isn't automatically taken over by squatters and if I lose my ID c

That also goes to the other extreme. For all the faults of current Fediverse software implementations, it at least gives more options than nostr. If you don't care about controlling your own identity, you can use someone else's

Nostr will always be a fringe network. The normies do not want to manage their own keys.

I'm again toying around with the idea of building an ActivityPub Server built around the principles of RDF, JSON-LD and the Linked Data Platform. [0] It can work already as a "Generic" ActivityPub server and it can be made to

I don't know how else to get my point across: what I am trying to say is that there is nothing "smart" about an automaton that needs to resort to A* algorithm implementations to "solve" a problem that any 4-year ol

By your analogy, the developers of stockfish are better chess players than any grandmaster. Tool use can be a sign of intelligence, but "being able to use a tool to solve a problem" is not the same as "being intelligent enoug

It's not the open models that suck, it's the infrastructure around them. None of current "open weights providers" have: - good tools for agentic workflows - no tools for context management - infrastructure for

Yeah, I am not interested in playing this tape again. The actions from Brendan as an individual are completely separate from his actions at Mozilla. Mozilla did not change any policy during his tenure and Brave is not accused of any discrim

Which goes to show the importance of judging people by their actions and not their opinions: are they going to boycott Apple as well, since Tim Cook gave millions to Trump?

My moral compass does not change based on who is being accused, but context is fundamental to make a proper judgment. It is hard to come up with a situation where Google would be doing these types of tricks, because Google is already the

You are vastly overestimating people's willingness to deal with bullshit, when the product does not have a real lock in. It would be incredibly easy to have a company offering their ChatGPT over WhatsApp or iMessage, and get people to

The funny thing is that make a big deal about blocking Brave on "ethical" grounds, but don't e tend the logic to Chrome, Edge or Safari. Talk about punching down/virtue signaling.

I don't get this logic. Putting aside that to get 33 different models you would come up with 5-6 different form factors, each of them on a distinct point in the tradeoff scale, why do you think that something is only worth doing if it
