A new version of Subset is now available on iOS via TestFlight. The big upgrade? Share direct from the app or the Subset share extension > select info to include and add share notes > see and search share records > link those share records to their outcomes We also cleaned up the UX: there's swipe actions in the list view, a toolbar in the detail view, pill buttons for sorting share records, and generally more cohesive styling across UIs. Head to the site to see it in action and/or get access. https://subset.network

Is there a post similar in breadth / depth to this, but for programmable social? Find myself needing something to point others to when making the case for things like Farcaster. https://0xparc.org/blog/programmable-cryptography-1

Today’s morning read was fiction for a change: Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. I forget just how good Muir is and I’m reminded each time I pick the text back up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrow_the_Ninth

Today’s reading: more from V2 of Fernand Braudel’s Civilisation and Capitalism. Enjoyed descriptions on merchant education, attempts to form and adapt monopolies and profits from trade versus agriculture and industry. https://www.ucpress.edu/books/civilization-and-capitalism-15th-18th-century-vol-ii/paper

Getting back to training logs with a BJJ gi session. Technical class focused on a few different armbar attacks and sweeps from closed guard, some of which are in the JJM vid. Sparring was 10 x 5 min rounds. A couple coach-y rolls with newer people. A couple spent attacking from top open guard, side control and the back, and the rest getting mushed by others from those positions. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ud2SvQWkYm4

Does the Warpcast client on iOS not have a share extension? Currently unable to share an arbitrary link from an app to WC.

A mega-thread of all the books I read in 2024. The setup: one cast per book (from oldest to most recent)—title, author(s), an impression and a link. Comments, questions and further recommendations welcome.

Training log, gi: worked a few motions and attacks from sit-up guard into knee cuts, side control and mount. Sparring was 8/9 five minute rounds. Spent most of the time attacking from open guard and side control but also tried for some smooth, controlled sweeps from butterfly and half guard (middling success rate).

Question: is parenthood so transformative because it reliably evokes a true and deep awe? An awe that may have been slumbering for years/decades, or only ever emerged momentarily since childhood.
