Nobody more deserving than Chris to receive this honor!

Need tech advice. I have a Ghost blog at @spacecadets.love. I want to migrate to an ATproto-based blog so I can have an atproto native account and bridge to activitypub instead of the other way. But I want to keep my page URLs + RSS feed the same and keep as much of the social infra as possible.

Top US Fema official claims to have teleported to a Waffle House before ‘Teleporting is no fun,’ Gregg Phillips, picked to lead Fema’s office of response and recovery, has said on a podcast

Apparently people are teleporting to waffle houses now? I feel like such a tourist for WALKING yesterday...

Waffle, bacon, scattered and smothered hashbrowns, eggs, toast, and coffee

In Georgia for a conference, and had to try Waffle House. Lived up to this California boy's expectations!

In contrast to Jesus' unbelieving audience, John expects his own readers to believe.

Topical discovery for publications using @standard.site is slowly getting better thanks to longform.fyi. Trying to fix some amusing misclassifications...

Screenshot showing count of publications with different numbers of documents: 1 document: 468 2 documents: 161 3 documents: 86 4 documents: 51

There are 51 @standard.site publications with exactly 4 posts. Only one more to be listed on longform.fyi! Get writing ✍️

In John 12, Isaiah is both a witness to Christ, and a pattern for Christ's own ministry.

longform.fyi topical discovery for atmospheric blogs

It has an OG image now! Maybe that's enough to make it worthy of the @standard.site homepage? 🥺

To explain the people's failure to believe in Jesus, John quotes two passages from the prophet Isaiah.

There it is! Btw, I really like the idea of borrowing @pckt.blog's content format behind the scenes. Might do that myself

I've patched the error on my end! Things are still backfilling, but Ramblings should appear at some point tonight...

Standard.site Validator A friendly tool to check if a post has valid standard.site records

My validator only handles one case (where the url + /.well-known/site.standard.publication resolves to the publication), so I assume yours is allowed

Is this the validator you used? site-validator.fly.dev

Oh good, I'll add this case to my validator

I don't see a /.well-known/site.standard.publication endpoint, either at /ramblings or at your domain root

The most promising path for Christianity to regain legitimacy will be through respecting the expertise of scientists.

The floodgates have opened! My @standard.site topical discovery tool longform.fyi now indexes @leaflet.pub publications. The main requirement now is having at least 5 English-language posts. Categorization itself is still all over the place... apologies to those who've been misclassified...

oh sorry, I meant that the 30 categories are pre-defined, stolen from the categories that explore.ghost.org has. Only the non-empty categories are displayed on longform.fyi itself

This is all very rough and ready, I started with gensim which I knew from my computer science days, but found that SentenceTransformers works a lot better

Cosine similarity between the mean of the 5 most recent post vectors, and the category vectors, similar to the quickstart: www.sbert.net/docs/quickst.... Category vectors are taken from descriptions that I just had AI generate: gist.github.com/jackvandrune...
(30 categories taken from Ghost Explore)

Right, of course. I see now. It's unfortunate that it works that way, especially for static sites where the deploy time is probably more likely to be delayed...

Time to fix my validator I guess.

Published records should be immediately verifiable #13 The recommended workflow in the Quickstart has publishing to PDS come before verification by deploying the static site. But if an AppView is watching the firehose, it might try to validate the public...

@stevedylan.dev I think this is a potential problem for Sequoia too. Opened a PR: tangled.org/stevedylan.d...

Embarrassing when you realize that your own @standard.site aggregators are dropping your own posts.

Records really need to be validate-able before being pushed to the PDS, or they might be thrown out by AppViews that watch the firehose.

What would it mean for theology if natural laws could explain the development of complex life?
