@KevinSimler is Intent tracking messenger.com as facebook usage? These are very different for me & it's important they be separate
@Meaningness Was thinking about atomization earlier today when a friend said the Lego Batman Movie contains a (Lego) Voldemort character. Ummm... what?
I would avoid the "-athon" suffix for something so short. Hack Sprint maybe? Name fits because 3h means there's no time for messing around! twitter.com/sehurlburt/sta…
@fortelabs Get the oblique strategies app and open it for a random something when you get the urge.
@fortelabs I'm srsly thinking about potential value of a conversation-oriented twitter app. Keeps track of threads, encourages replies not just scrolls
@fortelabs Conversationalists of twitter: is this something you'd use?

@Meaningness Also (like the DJ Lobsterdust Queen/Satan/PastorGaryG mashup) my friend said it's also legitimately *good*. Meta-modernism in action!
Now You're Cooking With Meta™
@KevinSimler The page doesn't load at all, because chrome won't let you click a link to a chrome-*:// url. But I popped it in checkshorturl.com ✓
@KevinSimler Loooool page doesn't work haha. I made a new group, but I can't drag messenger into it from it already being in the Facebook group.
@KevinSimler I would both change the default and ALSO encourage your users to use messenger.com instead of using fb, to chat w/o FEED distractn
@ryan_nayr_ @fortelabs Well the idea is that you could use it even if other people aren't. Like I could be using it right now to reply to you, for example.
@ryan_nayr_ @fortelabs But yeah, if multiple people used it, then it could create for even more effective twitter conversations.
Replying to @HiredThought
@BenMosior @ryan_nayr_ @fortelabs *sigh* so true. Could also do it without even using twitter API, maybe? Just by embedding tweets? Nonoptimal though probably
Replying to @HiredThought
@BenMosior @ryan_nayr_ @fortelabs Amen to that! ...but I guess I also mean that it might be on net *worse* than the more API-based way.
Replying to @HiredThought
@BenMosior @ryan_nayr_ @fortelabs Also could I get a retweet of the idea & poll from you? I want to get more responses.
@KevinSimler Oh lol it did move it just didn't look like it did until I reloaded the page just now to check for console error.
@KevinSimler I picked up developer.mozilla.org & put it back, then moved amazon.ca to Shopping. Got this in cons, but amazon.ca didn't move in ui.
@KevinSimler But again, once I refresh, it's there.
@chaosprime @Meaningness @literalbanana boids? nah, it's all about bahts now.
@suchaone @chaosprime @VesselOfSpirit I've thought of creating something like this. Offline multi-tab comms is hard but *is* possible (github.com/diy/intercom.j…).
@suchaone @chaosprime @VesselOfSpirit Probably simpler would be to make it an open-source app that you can just run locally and then use websockets. Easy to pkg nodejs as exe etc
@chaosprime @suchaone @VesselOfSpirit Probably easiest approach is to find an opensource chat project, and just mod user-identity so it's url/hash-based rather than login-based.
Seems like it could also be a cool tool for doing facets work like @byudkowsky does. (See sovereignsblog.tumblr.com/post/158053798… for "what are facets?")
@chaosprime @suchaone @VesselOfSpirit I did it once a few years ago; was pretty straightforward. I used some tool... *googles* maybe EncloseJS? Sounds like there's better now
shake away the distractions of your abstractions, and see the world in action
Things from high school math I still use: DeMorgan's Theorem: (!A && !B) = !(A || B) (probably wouldn't if I didn't program though)

@KevinSimler/@useIntent ...is this you? header.js:301 console.log('INSTALLING new content script') Would be nice if you'd get out of my logs on localhost, plz thx 😌

Sometimes success is 3% brains and 97% not getting distracted by the internet.
Whether your instructions come from your meta-selves or from someone else, the important thing is that there's an effective feedback loop from the agent-instantiations executing the instructions to the ones creating them.

@literalbanana It should consist of two mini-tweets with a context switch at 140 characters

@iangilman Baha, makes sense. They're delightful! I hope your kids enjoy their leftovers 😉

i look in the mirror and impress with how good at me I am today.
RIP clever thoughts from the past that were between 141 and 280 characters long and have therefore been lost forever.
you're just trying to trick me into saying something clever, aren't you

@ryan_nayr_ @KevinSimler @garybasin Haha awesome. I'm excited to try it out! One random thing that comes to mind right now is like, a thing that encourages me to reply more not just scroll and ♥. I can think of a few ways to implement that; happy to talk about it sometime if you want :)
@zwsexton Yeah for instance this guy in the photo doesn't seem to be solving anything at all. I hope he's just practicing his blackboard handwriting ;)
@keithwalkiewicz @TaylorPearsonMe Seconding Keith's question! Internal conflict is one of my main interests atm (or what @vgr calls a "river of attention" I think? ...@teachable won't let me in to the course notes 🤔) (My latest thoughts on the subject: malcolmocean.com/2017/11/self-r…)

@keithwalkiewicz @TaylorPearsonMe Wait, I just read the whole page and based on the Crab character and the "prelude", I think it's Gödel, Escher, Bach, by Douglas Hofstadter.
Having breath and a sense of smell is pretty weird. Like, it's a very intimate relationship to have with one's environment: taking in the molecules of the air, reacting with some of them to tell what they are...
