@digitalnaiv@mastodon.socialKI ist längst kein Zukunftsthema mehr – sie schreibt E-Mails, bereitet Podcasts vor und flutet unsere Timelines mit KI-Videos und Fake News. Jetzt kommen die ‚KI-Agenten‘: autonome Assistenten, die selbstständig handeln sollen. Doch wer kontrolliert sie? Zwischen Bequemlichkeit und Datenschutz klafft eine Lücke. Wie viel KI vertragen wir – und wer zahlt den Preis, wenn etwas schiefgeht?

@… "Quoting quiet public posts: When quoting a quiet public post, your post will be hidden from trending timelines."

The whole thing is on github (yes, I know, "Microsoft github"):

How does the timeline algorithm of your dream look like?

@ErikJonker@mastodon.socialPlaying around with Antigravity, vibe coded a social media summarizer that makes a summary of the last 48 hours of my bluesky and mastodon timelines, using python, a local database of the posts on my laptop and APIs of mentioned services. Works greats after squashing some bugs and a few iterations. Interestingly you need to know a little bit about coding to use it efficienctly, even in "vibecode" mode.
@tomkalei@machteburch.socialMy algorithm (roughly, there are knobs to turn):
- Fetch the last 24h hours or 1000 posts (whatever is fewer posts), including boosts which are handled separately, though.
- Score them by engagement (I don't know better). There are bunch of ways to do that, e.g. geometric mean of boosts, favs, and replies weighted by account size.
- Take the top of that list and prune down further it its too many.
- Add 3 serendipity posts from accounts I don't follow.
@bobmueller@mastodon.worldBack to Now: My Case Against Time Travel
Time travel sounds thrilling—until you start thinking about paradoxes, pandemics, and unintended consequences. For this week’s WWBC, I explore why I’m actually glad it’s fictional, from alternate timelines to germ theory and everything that could go very, very wrong.

@tomkalei@machteburch.socialThe project had been abandoned for quite a while but it was running for me on github for years.
OK, let's get to the second reason you might want to unfollow me at that point. Vibe coding. I've recently gotten into claude code (for lean proving actually, but why not use it for python too?)
Of course claude can just modernize this very easily. So I've sat down in a few short sessions and modernized the code base and added some features and doc.
@tomkalei@machteburch.socialToxic feed algorithms that serve Meta or X are bad, but that does not mean that we can't do something better ourselves here.
For many years I have been using a fork of mastodon_digest that scores posts by engagement and emails me a daily summary. It's open source and helps me to discover what has been going on in my timeline without following it all the time.
If you see me fav-ing your posts like 18h after the post. That's probably why!

@tomkalei@machteburch.socialFrom time to time I like to complain about reverse chron timeline that we all love here on Mastodon. One example: It localizes the timeline to people who post around the time you read.
Of course you can do lists (I do) and read everything from those lists and so on.
But in the end, reverse chron is also an algorithm. Algorithms per se are not bad. I love algorithms.
