Thanks for quick reply. I downloaded FLAN for comparison and you are quite right, gives similar results, with the benefit of privacy and self-sovereignty in serving the model.

So other than untestable claims of _how_ Jev generates responses, it's main feature right now is its API design?

Sorry if this sounds like a letter to Santa Claus Bryan, but when you do really well in this market, do you have any plans to build something this well rounded for small dev agencies, faculty-level education, etc?

I applaud all you tinkerers for pushing on the state of the home-brewed art here. Like crypto, AI is drowned out by hucksters, very few people talk about developing resilience. Or the researchers who will push on open source models in efforts to cram them onto an electric toothbrush or tamagotchi. Bravo to you all.

For anybody interested, the meat of 'EU sovereign' means EU companies, not US or UK companies with EU servers. (because of CLOUD Act and the UK-US bilateral arrangement connected to it).

International visitors might tell us more about benefits of non EU, US or UK nexus companies/legal/rights.

For another perspective, see Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff. She looked at indigenous cultures alive today and makes the compelling argument that the Western boomers were the outlier - not their kids. 'Free range' meant having no meaningful responsibilities or expectations within the tribe, other than 'do what you like all day'.

Fair play x775, I'm currently moving lots of EU and UK projects away from US-owned and/or sited infrastructure. There is a huge marketing push from the EU cloud providers to display their sovereign wares. Maybe us Europeans need to make them more aware of how futile it is to move to EU companies if there are laws equal-to or more pernicious than the US CLOUD Act? A dozen large EU tech companies will sadly exert more pressure on EU lawmakers than trying to explain to 500 million normal people how a law that looks like it will protect children is a smokescreen and terrible for civil liberties.

I've tinkered with nostr and there's plenty to agree with here, but it's not specific to nostr. Nostr is in its very early days where people who tinker now are also pretty good at protecting that private key (dorks like us). For mass adoption we're probably going to see WebAuthn develop and solve the problems you're mentioning for most non-technical people. The early dorks will flinch at Apple/Google syncing people's e2ee keys, but techies will always be able to just dial in their private key to the client of their choosing. So it will be a bit messy, but hopefully the best of both worlds. And a giant improvement from current paradigm.

I don't use it, but Minds is an example of an app that is using delegated keys to sign people's messages using nostr protocol, allowing a user's data a route out of Minds' infrastructure in the future. Again, seems a healthy improvement.

I'm currently integrating MJML into a React/JSX context. From my vantage point, MJML is the abstraction.

I once worked with a guy who kept looking over my shoulder and saying 'just use binary'. Nice guy, but they had to let him go.

Thanks for this, I looked up recent Google I/O announcement, it had passed me by. iOS/MacOS has it in beta too, so you're right, we're getting close to half the problem improved.

Thanks for this. Related to it, does anybody have any resources showing the state of the art for non-tech audience to remember client generated private keys?

What are options? Password manager (most people I know don't use one), Browser keychain (no guarantee of sync between user devices), WebAuthn (same problem), IndexedDB or localstorage, (both can be purged, again, no sync).

Unless I'm missing something, I feel this is problem worthwhile solving as a community, it would unlock a lot of utility/privacy for the average web user.

Would love to hear any more qualified takes on this.

Some useful rules around Web3:

1. The most beautiful and innovative things being done in the Web3 space are much more beautiful and innovative than anything you will do in your life.

2. The most dastardly things being done in the Web3 space are much more dastardly than anything you will do in your life.

Now for the two broad camps of people I see here:

a. People who think 2. is not relevant to pursuing 1.

b. People who think 2. can never justify pursuing 1. – or even finding out about it.

Look at the kids: the day is better spent curious.
