#algorithm

Fortgeführter Thread

Many ingredients are already here: there is a vast array of open source #python libraries that cover every imaginable #algorithm, from classic statistics to #machinelearning. And python is already a first class citizen in linux.

At the other end are end-user apps like the file manager, #libreoffice, sophisticated editors like #kate etc. that are already mature.

What is missing the orchestration of services, API's, UI's etc. that will effortlessly bring these superpowers to the average user.

just an idea

(not an original one):

the problem with #algorithms on #centralized #socialMedia is that they can be manipulated

on the #fediverse why not have a menu of #openSource algorithms that anyone can write (audited so they are genuinely manipulation-free)?

people can freely choose one, and they can sink into their #algorithm stupor

if that's what they want

is there harm in that?

i'm not saying they *have* to do that

“Europe’s race to rearm is pointless if its adversaries are waging war online”

by Johnny Ryan in the Grauniad

#Trump cannot be allowed to hold the hidden levers of Europe’s internal political debate. Europeans must have the freedom to communicate with one another without foreign censorship and interference. This crisis is at least as urgent as rearmament”

The program no longer crashes and the fix was simpler than I thought.

Instead of comparing rounded doubles (what a silly idea) I did the proper thing, which is abs(a - b) < epsilon. A lot of times 🙂 Takes maybe half second to generate the design. Then I can pan, zoom and rotate to find a screenshot I like.

I'm thinking that the lines that end in lonely places should end with a tiny knot. I may try that next.

New paper, just out.

Often, in real-world situations, one does not know the full structure of a network. However, at the same time, one can often observe some interactions that take place on it, and may be interested in knowing its full structure. For example, one may be detecting some partial criminal activity and may want to determine the whole organization. We consider higher-order networks, which are structures with many-body interactions, and specifically simplicial complexes, and show that one can reconstruct a whole network almost perfectly simply by observing the transient of the dynamics that takes place on it. In fact, we give 3 different algorithms to do it, with different complexities and accuracies, so you can choose which one suits you best.

Exclusive: how the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg got added to the White House Signal group chat

"According to the White House, the number was erroneously saved during a “contact #suggestion update” by Waltz’s iPhone, which one person described as the function where an iPhone #algorithm adds a previously unknown number to an existing contact that it detects may be related." 😂

I 'boost' stuff I find interesting, or think needs more awareness, or is just damn funny.

I 'like' stuff to let the poster know I read it and appreciate/acknowledge/see the effort required to make the post. I may not agree with the sentiment but if it's in my locus of topics du jour I make an effort to acknowledge if relevant as an outlier.

Mastodon has no algorithms and I'm on a single user instance (i.e. just me!) so it is what it is - I guess. If you are offended by anything I post or respond to then let me know and we can talk about the topic.

#SocialNetworks that are fed by an #algorithm are causing much harm to you. Just one example of many: karl-voit.at/2024/07/13/social

Please do convince your friends and relatives to try out a healthy alternative like the #Fediverse here: karl-voit.at/2024/06/18/Fedive

When you visit your friends and family, tell them about not having #endlessscrolling or #doomscrolling. Tell them about being able to read unfiltered comments and articles. Tell them about not destroying your mental health all the time, following some #influencers that show a wrong picture of the world and the people.

Accounts on servers like graz.social are for free. (Donations welcomed: info.graz.social/spenden/ )

Have a happy weekend!
