is [[hofstadter]] in [[twitter]]? a beautiful thing of writing like this is that you can see the [[past]] at the same time as the [[future]] -- the recursive step adds a [[time]] delay

Good morning, all!

Today is a free day for me, like all Wednesdays this quarter (except when oncall).

I'll use pomodoros to try to advance through the list of everything I want to do today, posting about them in this thread.

How are you today? To begin with: one pomodoro of reading Notes on the Synthesis of Form. I need to read pages 83-134 for a reading club session tonight (forgot about it until today, ha).

In bolo'bolo, education is decentralized and peer to peer. There are no standardized tests; titles are seen as arbitrary. In this context, "university will become universal". Perhaps [[Flancia]] is more of a [[Sumi]] nowadays in my mind. ImageImage

@s5bug If you use [[wikilinks]], when the Agora works (soon?) people will be able to see your note with that name when they click on such a link anywhere. @s5bug Even if you don't write a note there, you are allowing people to click on it and "see what happens".

Stuff surfaced can be both notes and whatever the Agora users pick from around the internet.

It's like social crowdsourcing of opinions, comments, knowledge.

The Agora v0.5 is built around the idea of publishing our notes following some conventions:

flancia.org/go/agora

Poll: what is a good "default path" to store your notes in? A good default strengthens the convention. In this directory you'd store Markdown files, one per note. Go link: flancia.org/go/agora-path-…

Please share to those interested.

An Agora is a goal-driven social network built around a cooperatively maintained distributed knowledge graph.

flancia.org/agora for the idea.
flancia.org/go/agora for one implementation I'm working on. The Agora does not exist yet. The Agora has always existed.

One of the best things about following people freely (I follow 1.7k people, have way fewer followers) is that it allows me to effectively implement ranked follows by hand. Twitter should support this natively, but this is what we have.

I think the approach has some merit.

This is how it works: whenever I see someone that looks interesting, I check their account quickly for obvious red flags (it's important to define those well, but that's likely outside the scope of this thread) and I follow them.
