I'm going to play some free software game on stream here, hunting aliens invading the planet.

Join me if you want to talk about fun stuff in the chat while we manage a secretive organization, controlling and containing the interplanetary threat.

Разбираю рекомендательную ленту свитера (анализ алгоритма ранжирования)

X опубликовали репозиторий с исходным кодом своих рекомендательных алгоритмов в 2023 году. Там нет конкретных весов и многих переменных, но есть общие принципы. По репе можно понять общую механику того, как именно контент попадает в ленту. Похожие рекомендательные системы используются и в других соцсетях. Главная проблема — из сотен миллионов ежедневных твитов невозможно прогнать через тяжелую Ranker-нейросеть каждый. Поэтому используются быстрые алгоритмы, чтобы отобрать топ кандидатов (конкретное число скрыто в params.rs). Для out-of-network контента X использует SimClusters — алгоритм, который находит сообщества пользователей с похожими интересами. Если вы попали в кластер "Любители Rust", а пост популярен в этом кластере, он попадёт в кандидаты, даже если вы не подписаны на автора. Потом идёт второй этап — Grok-трансформер, который для отобранных кандидатов предсказывает вероятность 19 различных действий (лайк, ретвит, ответ, шер в личку и другие).

Element 115 makes an appearance in the original #XCOM game, which calls it elerium instead.

The newer Firaxis XCOM games still feature elerium, but they don't give it an atomic number any more.

I believe there was a lobbying campaign to name the real-life element 115 “elerium”. Wasn't successful, though; the element was instead named after the Moscow researchers who first synthesized it.

Já que estava jogando #xenonauts, bateu uma vontade de rever a abertura de XCOM, o jogo no qual ele é inspirado. Pura nostalgia!

#xcom Parece que la tactica de usar a un agente como como cebo mientras otro le mete un taser por el culo al cultista ha dado resultado. Nota: no intenteis lo mismo con un morlok o un yeti. Ni lo notan y te meten un guantazo que no lo resiste nadie. Más teniendo que mi armadura es una corbata y ya
