On the flip side now that I think about it, there’s no good alternative to have a platform neutral version of this without permissioned data that inherits trust. Otherwise, the options are Google or similar

@patrickboueri.com avatarPatrick Boueri@patrickboueri.com

I suppose with permissioned data you could do something liked this but i think i’d be wary with exact location for quite some time until its super secure and trusted. Here icloud is battle tested so it inherits the security guarantees from there

I love this. Even pure meath is constrained by social forces

contrast that with this lecture by Terence Tao on how to address LLM-driven changes in your field but hold onto disciplinary values teorth.github.io/tao-web/slid...

You can get a gist of the app here checkonyou.app I plan to clean up the copy and theme

Well here’s a testflight beta for the app CheckOnYou. Pairing is tricky cuz you need an email - but other than that im very pleased with it so far! Sadly no atproto integration since i piggy back off AppleId for icloud storage testflight.apple.com/join/wPSK5Kj6

My primary use case is thinking of what an approach to location tracking for my future angsty tern would be and how it could feel less invasive. Its currently on cloudkit and uses icloud data cuz i dont trust storing anything location wise on my own. I’ll try and get it out on the store

I _really_ love the idea of a "lifeline" of a post and characterizing its spread through the network. romiojoseph.github.io/bluesky/blue... Thanks again @ruoshuiresearch.bsky.social for sharing. I started digging in (see screenshot) and will try to create a taxonomy and write up sometime soon.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

It’s still shocking to me that I can build a full-fledged app by talking to my phone and then it will build deploy and release and I can see the update. It’s the future plain and simple

The fact the chicago 311 app doesnt take normal phone photos since theyre too large is the type of thing that is not a big deal and also a huge deal. Little frictions grind the gears of gov

Once permission data is live - the concept of a group that persists across different apps feels so powerful. Like ldap but for your personal life. Thinking of family photo sharing for example.

Gonna call this the McLuhan Heat death of the media universe. Not hot or cold but tepid, washed out, demands nothing of the audience.

The quantified self is all fun and games until you can measure baby induced sleep depravation. There must be some negative effect from knowing Instead of lying to yourself

I wanted to learn more about how Spotify’s data plays a role in live music for my newest @chicagoreader.com feature. I ended up writing more about Instagram.

First ”Life of a post” visualization that i’ve seen - really cool! It’d be interesting if you can visualize a conversation “tree” similarly and get a feel for a post’s dynamics. Could be even richer with more metadata about each post (sentiment) and profiles (mutuals etc).

I love that this mentions Find My as a social network - feels like one of the most under developed spaces. I’ve been prototyping one on ios called check on you - where you can see someone’s location and drop a message but they see that you’ve seen it. disclosure feels important for trust

Part II is live now. What comes after social media?

Bluesky network6d ago

Is this anything? Idea is to create a (semi)structured "Attention profile" -- that can then be used to bootstrap recommendation systems. Like a really compact representation that is informed by all of atproto
