Folks are slowly rediscovering coevolutionary algorithms without understanding that that’s what they’re doing, I guess.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I didn’t know you were into “machine learning” and did a PhD on the subject 😳
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Ahh nice! 😆 I tried to do a PhD in distributed systems but I never completed it 🤦♂️
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Nope not at all. Yarn.social was born out of a desire to be able to conveniently “blog” without the burden of a full blog which is time consuming and someyhing I never managed to do very well/
@prologic@twtxt.net mega-microblogging? 😅
@eaplmx@twtxt.net Yeah well the rest of the back story is documented at About Yarn.social 😅 I realised I actually did want some kind of micro-blogging / social media “thing”, but I hated Twitter™ (had an account once upon a time, deleted, re-created, deleted, and finally deleted and never used it), and any other social media are basically “yuck”, advertising centralised piles of garbage 😅
Or in the case of Mastodon – Too complicated to stand up. And ActivityPub, too hard to build against. So I (almost by accident, I was looking…) came across the Twtxt spec/format and voila 👌
@prologic@twtxt.net You need to stop changing that page very often, every time I read it is different! 😋 #joking #orItIsJustMyBadMemory
That said, having the option to micro-blog with an emoji, or mega-blog with a decent-sized post is cool IMO.
@eaplmx@twtxt.net Bahahaha 🤣
