• HBO Obtains DMCA Subpoena to Unmask 'Euphoria' Spoiler Account on X

  Https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm If it catches engagement, the main firehose feed will show it. They've begun using Grok and AI processes, which is hit and miss, but definitely improving. Having Japanese, French, other countries' tweets automatically translated back and forth has been fun, too. It'll be interesting to see where it gets to in the next few years. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Crack the Code: What the 𝕏 Algorithm Actually Rewards (And How to Use It)

  In March 2023, Elon Musk open-sourced Twitter's recommendation algorithm at github.com/twitter/the-algorithm. Nearly three years later, the core pipeline remains the most detailed public look inside any major platform's ranking system. And while the trained model weights and live tuning parameters stay proprietary — meaning we can see the shape of the machine but not every dial setting — what's visible gives... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• X algorithm has been open sourced

  I wonder if this'll turn out like the last time they published their algorithm to great fanfare, and then didn't bother to ever update it: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• X algorithm has been open sourced

  What is the difference between this and https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• X(Twitter) Shadow Bans Turkish Presidential Candidate

  > Elon will continue to mess with the algorithm until he gets his political goals. Twitter/X has open sourced their algorithm (https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm). So what do you mean by “mess with the algorithm”? And how do you characterize the extreme moderation (AKA censorship) practiced by old Twitter? For example when they banned a sitting president on the flimsiest reasoning, that even their own blog... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• John Carmack's arguments against building a custom XR OS at Meta

  Https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm Not updated in two years. > Go to Bluesky... At least people are not hyping "race wars" or discussing the "jewsish question" there. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Grok's white genocide fixation caused by 'unauthorized modification'

  Just like they are "publishing" their algorithm? https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm hasn't been updated for two years. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• X's algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to boost right-leaning accounts

  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 / over 1 year ago

• X's algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to boost right-leaning accounts

  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 / over 1 year ago

• "xAI will open source Grok"

  > Wasn’t the tweet recommendation system “open sourced” as well? Does this guy know the difference between open source and “open source”? What do you mean? There exists only one binding definition of open source > https://opensource.org/osd and either some product does satisfy it, or it doesn't. As far as I am aware > https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• "xAI will open source Grok"

  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 / over 2 years ago

• Twitter sends Meta cease-and-desist letter over new Threads app: Sources

  And I believe the source for that was effectively opened up to the world: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm. Source: about 3 years ago

• I need off this timeline

  He's mad cuz he found out blocking/reporting deboosts tweet engagement in the Algo and was a reason his tweets started getting fewer engagement. He must have read how many new people are blocking him. Source: about 3 years ago

  Nah bullshit and plus you can also look at source code for the recommendation system of sites like twitter that's been recently released(https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm). Source: about 3 years ago

• Show HN: Tzap – Simple contextual code generation

  Hey! We did some texting on https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm without issues(*), that was around 150K lines of code. And it works great, I wish I knew more domain details about twitter to be able to really leverage it, but it quickly finds parts of your system and how to build features like "removing echo chambers from the-algorithm by recommending... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
