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

Some of the /sop research is applicable but it’s not explicitly targeting the upside and importance of programmable social itself. https://summerofprotocols.com/research

This is a good start but I’m ideally looking for something textual (h/t @dwr.eth, @jackson). https://open.spotify.com/episode/5GNtXP2MbMgqm7JZ2vvnOd

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

Pretty well tbh. Morning protocol during the week is basically read for an hour then do 40-60 mins of math. Sometimes that’s the same on weekends. Don’t think “relaxing” is the adjective I’d use 😂 it’s been a big boost to start days by 1) trying something consistently challenging and 2) get dopamine doses from overcoming said challenge. Starting to get some meta realisations about fluctuating state of my cognition per day too, which is nice. Functions as a proxy for recent lifestyle choices.

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

Hypothesis: hand-writing math grounds the abstract ops required more deeply and helps intuition? https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/jan/21/signature-moves-are-we-losing-the-ability-to-write-by-hand

The mapping of share actions to share outcomes is a big part of this upgrade, and it was a tough call to do it in the way we have. This blog gets into more detail about why we chose the "user labour" approach over platform integration, protocol interop and agentic tech. https://paragraph.xyz/@subset/we-made-sharing-legible

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

Any MathAcademy fans out here? Just signed up after interviewing their data lead for CS Primer Show. Excited to maybe actually feel like I’m good at math again.
