@davewiner @kylewm2 That's awesome. But why limit to blog posts? Why not also include the short title-less updates people post on their sites? e.g. https://kylewm.com http://tantek.com my site, and many others.

The wordpress plugin will need to be able to accept an access token in the HTTP header and verify it. The short path to implement this is to use the token endpoint I run at https://tokens.indieauth.com, that way you can just avoid all token management for now, and add that in to the plugin later.

@davewiner @kylewm2 That's awesome, like a Planet but without the full text? Makes it much easier to read!

We're working on it! http://indiewebcamp.com

@davidmead ahh that makes sense! I was wondering how that could happen. Issue filed, thanks! https://github.com/aaronpk/p3k/issues/84

@davidmead It looks like you're sending https for the target but your site links to my http URL. I should probably fix this to accept it regardless of the mismatch, but that's the reason.

@davidmead Great work! It sounds like you should send a pull request for your changes to the Known plugin! I bet many others would benefit from the changes too! #indieweb

Is it just me or is the author using the term "Uncanny Valley" completely wrong? Ignoring the silly Pixar story, I still don't understand how voice recognition (or more accurately, speech recognition) is currently in the uncanny valley.

You know when your GPS says "recalculating" in a condescending voice? That's the uncanny valley of text-to-speech.

They started sending random pictures back! :-)

@holman @oscargodson I haven't actually heard of the term being used like that. I've only heard it in this context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

@holman @oscargodson

@holman It's from a 1970 paper by a Japanese roboticist http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/an-uncanny-mind-masahiro-mori-on-the-uncanny-valley http://web.archive.org/web/20110313073609/http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20110310jk.html

@holman but the concept of the uncanny valley is way older than that

@holman While I agree with your points, that's not really the meaning of "uncanny valley." And what's with the Pixar story??

@ungoldman y!

@maxticket Maybe an indicator that a new version is available or that a new feature was launched rather than actually interrupting the app

@maxticket I think the problem is that I often don't open an app until I need it, so anything that gets in the way of me doing the thing is annoying.

@tommorris Wow, sorry to hear about all your frustration! I've been using the Eye-Fi Pro for years, but only as a way to automatically upload JPGs to Flickr. I use a normal SD card for RAW shooting.

@carolinamcdr Sorry, looks like it stalled out. I just kicked it so it should be going again!

@pdxgene @Cheryl_Crowe @aleeharrison Thanks! I started compiling a list of them: https://foursquare.com/aaronpk/list/bars-to-work-from-in-kerns
