GM and a happy New Year, Nostriches. We at nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz have reached another milestone, on our way to #Alexandria v 0.1.0 (Gutenberg edition). We have printed the entire Bible using 30040/30041 notes and made them available for you to peruse, using a pre-release of our Nostr client. The books are broken down by chapter. Breakdowns by verse will be delivered with the beta release. In addition, we have printed "Jane Eyre", so that you get some idea of how quickly a full-length novel can load. We are working on making it faster, with pagination, but this is already surprisingly quick. You can't yet use the client to upload books (please use the e-book CLI, for that), and it's all a bit buggy and wonky, but we have already implemented a first pass at the Visualization page. Feel free to view the Asciidoc test data, here: https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/. You can log in with a browser extension. (We are still working on the site certificate. Please excuse the mess.) https://image.nostr.build/798bbd3359e7ae27d079e4bba79706167c3170e39931d1dd4caf1840b7d2d6ee.png

As you can see, we need to work more on zooming and loading faster, but it gives you a map of the 30040/30041 events, including any connections between them. You can see the event details, while hovering.

For reference, it took circa 3 minutes, to print Jane Eyre in events. This is much too slow, I'm aware. I need to refactor the CLI. Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqs8eseg5zxak2hal8umuaa7laxgxjyll9uhyxp86c522shn9gj8crspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgmwaehxw309a6xsetxdaex2um59ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz75w59d4 for making sure wss://thecitadel.nostr1.com runs smoothly. I gave it a workout, today, with no problems.

Yeah, we destroyed the lightning hub, while getting next-alexandria running. We're reconfiguring the entire server landscape, right now, so it's going to be a bit fragile. I put my minibits wallet behind it, now, so it should work, again. Sorry, about that.

OpenSats already turned this project down for a grant, but that's okay.

At the moment, we can publish multilevel books, but we're only able to display monolevel books, in the reader. Multilevel display got pushed back to the Euler edition, so that we get Gutenberg out, faster. MVP will only contain the most basic functionality, the NIP-62 "a" tag event-style, plus the DevOps (which is a doozy; we currently have 4 people working on that).

I never applied. Someone else in our company did. They have the application and are welcome to reopen and approve it, at any time.

You have it backward. Alexandria only exists because we stopped caring about what OpenSats does or thinks. Most people let them decide what software is worth building, but we are not most people.

You're right. You're a waste of time to interact with. Muted. But thanks for the engagement. 👍🏻 Feel free to keep posting in this thread.

Because she doesn't realize I'm not the client dev. There are 8 people working on the project. It is, as far as I know, now the largest Nostr project team, and it's actually three main projects (Alexandria, Aedile, and GitRepublic) and some additional supporting projects and libraries.

Sure! I'm in charge of marketing, documentation, and customer support, so feel free to pepper me with questions, like an LLM. Lots of lurkers are reading, and they're often also interested in the answers. Aedile is a SDK (software development kit) for Nostr. A programming library, with which you can build Nostr clients. We originally built Alexandria with the SDK that many other projects are using (called the "NDK"), but we're going back and writing our own, in a programming language called C++. Some of our lower-level libraries (such as noscrypt) are written in straight C, which is as low-level as you can get, without delving into Assembler. The next version of Alexandria will have some of the NDK stuff swapped out for Aedile stuff. That won't be visible, on the outside, but it will stabilize everything and make it a bit faster. It also allows us to quickly and independently implement our new event types.

The e-books in Alexandria are kind 30040/30041. Then there is kind 1987, for vector embeddings (we need those the LLM implementation and the Visualization development). We have some additional kinds coming up in the Euler edition, focusing on source references.

It's a way of measuring the similarity between objects, such as two long-form articles, by converting the content into numbers and then plotting them on a diagram. Closer objects are more-similar than objects that are further apart. Vector embeddings are lists of those calculated numbers.

It's literally vectors, like in linear algebra.

It just dawned on me, that I can upload to my local relay, and then just broadcast to thecitadel. That's probably faster and smoother. I'll do it that way, next time.
