Interesting : " In 2021, around 40 % of the U.S. society has personally experienced online hate speech (Vogels, 2021)."
" hateful content from a verified user (as opposed to normal content) has a 3.5 times larger cascade size, a 3.2 times longer cascade lifetime, and a 1.2 times larger structural virality"

It seems to me that without an #algorithm, the best way to get engagement with your toots on #mastodon is to regularly boost, unboost, and boost again.
I wonder if anyone has automated that; keep track of the best toots, and regularly unboost, and reboost them at peak user hours.
Reading this statement in a way should be wholly unsurprising; as the inevitable direction of any #algorithm is towards a limited set of converged ideas of their creators. Still sucks to see.. :\

MIST0625/BLIPPYPIXEL-POSTER
Mistigram: many years ago, @blippypixel was in possession of a colourful framed poster of some geometrical computing algorithm’s output. It was hung proudly above his sofa, and one day for no apparent reason it fell off the wall and was destroyed in splintered wood and broken glass when it crashed into the floor. After 10 years of many false starts and fruitful distractions, this year he finally succeeded at rolling his own reproduction of the doomed poster using the #BBCMicro’s Acorn Graphics Extension ROM — the entire reason he got into making computer art to begin with. (That poster has a lot to answer for!) This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.
#PhysicsFactlet The bisection method is a simple and effective way to find the root(s) of a function The idea is that you start by "bracketing" your root . You then take the midpoint between them, check if your function there is positive or negative and update the bracket. ⚛️🎢 #Computing #Algorithm
#PhysicsFactlet
Finding the roots of a function is a very common problem in computational Physics, and the bisection method is a simple and effective (albeit far from optimal) way to do that.
The idea is that you start by "bracketing" your root between a value of x where the function is negative and one where it is positive. You then take the midpoint between them, check if your function there is positive or negative and update the bracket.
From gr*pists to nip nops, how self-censorship shapes the language of TikTok : Code Switch : NPR
Have you noticed people using terms like "unalive" and "pew pews" on social media? There's a reason for that: some people are changing the way they speak on #TikTok and other social media platforms to bypass what they think are #algorithm blocks. #SelfCensorship #aocialMedia #language #CodeSwitch

[en] Impact of social media on #democratic #discourse
A somewhat simple primer on "What is disinformation and how does the spread of disinformation affect #liberal #democracies worldwide?"
"This conventional understanding of disinformation is often tied to #platforms and #algorithms. ... But this definition seems to overlook the kind of #disinformation we now frequently see—namely that of political elites."

New paper!
How can we detect the presence of communities in networks with higher-order interactions? For instance, by maximizing hypermodularity! Also, this formulation will allow you to leverage tensor spectral methods to do it. Additionally, the paper also argues that the "overfitting" of modularity methods is actually just people applying them where they are not supposed to be used. And, as a byproduct, there is an explanation of why higher-order SVD works so well in classification tasks in machine learning. Oh, the code is available to use in your own projects (link in the first comment). And moreover, the code includes an efficient data structure for higher-order networks that is independent from the community detection method and that you can also use in your own work. 😎

Today's tip for lunchbreak: Watch a video to plant a forest. Beau is a tree planter (generally funny guy), and he is going to use all proceeds from the watching of this video to plant trees.
As in: take all the money this generates in one month, spend it on trees and shove them in the ground himself. What's not to like?
Nice article on optimization, collision detection, #SeperatingAxisTest via HN https://cairno.substack.com/p/improvements-to-the-separating-axis ... It's on substack, but worth reading non-the-less :-) #GameDev #Algorithm
Сорцы на выходные на «расте»
Наибольший кайф античных книг в их выдержке, актуальности. Книги точно проверены временем, актуальны (правда если знаешь в чем) и как ни странно, честны (книги хотели бы, чтобы их читали через сотню или тысячу лет). В программировании античные скрипты, наверно, написал Деннис Ритчи, сегодня же почитаем современников - Sean Parent (довольно известный чел в c++ тусовке) начал писать на расте (возможно, как начал так и закончил, но мы живем в моменте - поэтому предлагаю насладиться). Читать на расте сложнее, чем писать (это прям факт) - пишут его двое (автор и компилятор), а читают, ну читают на гитхабе. Далее в прозаическом сочинении свободной композиции, подразумевающем впечатления и соображения автора по конкретному поводу или предмету, рассмотрим компоненты новой библиотеки и попробуем насладиться примерами кода.

On other networks, we have to #censor words like s*x so the #algorithm doesn't filter out the posts. On Mastodon we can just censor words like Bri*ish cuz of the glo**al stop.
People in the Fediverse often say that #socialMedia without #algorithms that are programmed for profits let them feel calmer and better.
Algorithms of the big platforms can make people indeed ill. More and more influencers or social media #creators get #burnout symptoms: "There’s no off button in this job. The algorithms never stop. You can’t pause the internet." https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/jul/05/cant-pause-internet-social-media-creators-burnout

@artificialmind Nice! Thank you for the kind words! 🙂
Your own programming language!? This sounds really cool! We need those ambitious goals!
I wish you great success! 💪
