The open-sourcing of the X's feed algorithm is a typical Musk's smokescreen. First, while the code was open sourced, the configs and data that determines its behavior wasn't. Any researcher that has some knowledge of the matter will tell you this. Second, that code was last updated in July 2023 [1]. News feed algorithms are updated regularly, especially around the time of US elections [2]. [1] - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

Sure it's open source but that doesn't mean the public repo is in any way up to date. Especially given that the repos only have a handful of commits from the few months after the repos were published and they haven't been updated in well over a year. https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

Yes, and it's here: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm If e.g. Amazon open sources some part of its software infrastructure should they also open source the data it uses or their configuration files? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

And I believe the source for that was effectively opened up to the world: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm. Source: almost 2 years ago

I've been using WACUP, it's really good: https://getwacup.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

I use the community update of Winamp, WACUP, and it's excellent. I've tried other media players but always come back here. I'm not even one of those people who likes the shitty visualisations, I just think the interface works perfectly. https://getwacup.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

Obligatory mention of the current fork of winamp: WACUP https://getwacup.com/ Based on core that was open sourced around Winamp 3 DrO one of the ex devs is gradually re-implementing all the other parts. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

FWIW, a reimplementation is available: https://getwacup.com/ (I'm unsure how long it'll last) Nevertheless, This may a good time you get to say bye-bye to Winamp. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I made this Winamp skin based on the design concept in "Diablo II: Resurrected & Remixed". It's a Modern skin, so requires Winamp 5 (or WACUP). The skin can be downloaded from my site. Source: over 1 year ago
