This is the eleventh iteration of the entire system

We’re also building in fine-grained control, so what surfaces for you actually reflects your deeper interests—not just what’s most transmissible.

This is exactly why what we’re working on matters so much. We want to create feeds that don’t optimize for engagement, but instead prioritize meaningful connections between ideas.

Why Good Ideas Die Quietly and Bad Ideas Go Viral A new book, “Antimemetics: Why Some Ideas Resist Spreading,” argues that notions get taken up not because of their virtue but because of their catchiness.

On the internet, the winning ideas are often not the best ideas but simply the most transmissible ones. Can this problem be solved?

Never again

Building a better algorithm is weirdly personal for me. Feels like trying to fix the very thing that broke my trust in people.

Saving this

@1494.bsky.social always find interesting accounts while developing my feed

*gaussian blurs you*

#weirdinternet #ethicaltech #outliers #nervouswrecks #writerswhocode #decentralizeeverything

My social battery is low but my desire to find people who get it is somehow infinite.

Working on ethical recommendation systems because I believe your feed should reflect you, not the algorithm’s worst assumptions.

If you’re building something weird, if you feel a little broken but still want to connect, I’m probably already rooting for you.

Constantly torn between wanting to change the world and wanting to disappear quietly into a field of tall grass. Anyone else?

Going to post some things to hopefully improve my search vector for Bluesky and my own custom feed, getting results but I get weird recommendations in my own algorithm im developing because I haven't yet represented myself!

Fascinating

A proper rebrand

I hate computers so much rn

@mary.my.id will check out atcute tonight sounds like it would solve some of the headaches I was going through. Doing some codebase rewriting so it’ll be the perfect opportunity, I got frustrated with some of the auth and also getting basic records and it would probably clean up my code a lot haha

Looking to find communities for at protocol or feed devs

Where my feed devs at

Step by step, line by line, failure by failure, I am getting closer to my goal

gm stranger!

I just wanted to type out the word bust, no correction intended

Exciting that all of Bluesky is basically coming through my house

bust

Somehow, I have built a server in my home with CUDA support and it's currently indexing the firehose in real time. I'm probably gonna get fired from my job

Block em all

I had to move to a GPU in the cloud that’s very expensive and costing me $1.50 an hour but I’m indexing all the posts on Bluesky and creating a recommend feed based on your posts. Now I get to actually form the group and play with social media algorithms

ITS FUCKING WORKING
