Can you personalize your own ranking algo that can be shared with friends? That’s the breakthrough we’re all waiting for…
Isn’t loops open source?
Yes
So then this is just a shorter explanation, and not “publishing” the algorithm? Because before already anyone could read the code and understand how it works, it would have just taken longer.
anyone could read the code and understand how it works
“Anyone” is doing some heavy lifting here.
Technically, yes the info would be available but not everyone is able to read code so this is a welcome additional bit of info and transparency. I also see it as an example of how future open source social media platforms can promote and demonstrate the way their algorithms work as opposed to the black boxes of proprietary web apps like Instagram etc (which, while not algorithmically transparent or open, have been pretty well established to have algorithms that prioritize maximizing time on platform and engagement over all else with some serious negative repercussions for that).
Well. This is good news.
This infographic reeks of AI slop.
What about it?
probably because the block under the cpu looking thing doesn’t indicate how it interacts with the cpu looking block and the block that ranking engine feeds into the ranked “for you” feed also there’s two user controls
It seems that the pie chart under the cpu describes the weights of video characteristics that push to the top of your algorithm. But that’s a guess, and it should be clearer than that if the platform wants to be transparent.
