  • Here's another fun fact for you: Basically, if you replaced the sun with a big LED, it would last about equally long assuming it outputs the same amount of light power. that's because the sun gives off most of its power as light power already, because the heat has no other way to escape except through black body radiation

  • i read up on that recently and IIRC the heat that comes out of earth's interior is about 0.03% of the total power we get on the surface of earth, the vast majority is from sunlight.

    and earth's interior heat is about half-and-half from primordial heat (from when earth was formed) and from decay of primordial radionuclids and their decay products (basically uranium and thorium decaying)

  • thank you. that's indeed fascinating to contemplate about.

  • Content Recommendation Algorithms

    Jump

  • what if we filter ourselves into a bubble by choosing to use a site that does it?

  • Content Recommendation Algorithms

    Jump

  • hmm, i think you're overthinking this. what if the recommendation algorithm simply gives you stuff from communities and you've subscribed to and "similar" communities (these would have to be linked from the original communities / link to the original communities)?

    that should be reasonably easy and not involve any neural networks. i think basically it constructs a "feed" (post list) which is basically a remix of other lists (which are the individual communities that stuff is taken from), maybe weighted with a certain scalar factor.

  • Basically custom feeds are just a content recommendation algorithm.

  • There needs to be high-quality discussion about how to make sure that users of social media platforms are humans instead of bots, but it needs to be a discussion happening in the open and not behind closed doors.

    Right now, the approach is to not talk about it and assume that verification can only happen via photo. It could also be done in different ways, such as using a QR code that you get at a supermarket; or by only allowing 1 user account per physical device (which would make bot accounts expensive). There's lots of possible ways and none of them are discussed.

  • After reading the article, it sounds like they’re just making yet another xitter clone with the hopes that govt figures will use it.

    Nothing puts me off more than advocating for a new product or set of technology without reasonably comparing it to already-existing technology. They should dedicate a section of their homepage to an explanation what's the difference between their system and Mastodon.

  • like, i want to see posts from communities that i already subscribed to, but because there's more than 1000 communities on the fediverse and i'm only subscribed to a small countable subset of them, i inevitably lose out on a lot of content. (The "all" feed sucks unfortunately). So how to solve this?

    Jump

  • The lack of discoverability is non-starter for many.

    The Fediverse significantly lacks behind on the Content Discoverability technology.

    I guess this is because there was a loud public outcry in the last 20 years that whoever makes your feed (this is called an "recommendation algorithm" or abbreviated "the algorithm") has a lot of political power to decide what you see and what you don't see, and that's frowned upon. Because everybody that has power over what you see and what you don't see is bad. That is why nobody wanted to provide an recommendation algorithm for the fediverse, because they would expose themselves to wild accusations. There should be an open-source recommendation algorithm, though; I'm sure of it.

  • So, my main takeaway is that ATProto basically splits user authentication and content storage and feed algorithm? Like, these are 3 separate things?

    You can have your own authentication server at home that basically just says that you are you (similar to a cryptographic identity), then you can store your content on google cloud and then use a 3rd-party feed algorithm?
