I've always wondered - how can I as a non X engineer be sure that the code on GH is actually deployed on their servers?

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don’t think that’s the point of open sourcing things, in general
I agree in general it isn't. But in this case Musk claimed that was the point of open-sourcing the algorithm. Transparency on what they are or are not suppressing.
Oh, I see. Well, purely on his claim:bs ratio, I'd too take than with a grain of salt :)

#23This is laudable. But the great thing about Twitter is that you don't have to use the algorithmic "For You" feed at all. You can just use the "Following" feed, which is purely chronological, and doesn't contain any recommended content. This isn't possible on Facebook, which makes it unusable for me.

That ignores the way Twitter sorts replies, which always use an algorithmic weight-based listing.

Republican, Democrat, and Elon.
Wow.

Facebook has a "friends only" feed (Friends button, next to Home), but it's not chronological.

Re: Source code for the X recommendation algorithm
#30It's so disappointing to see that Twitter has only released the source code of their algorithm while all of their competitors have released both algorithms and weights.
