A feed can call itself a community while optimizing people into separate emotional rooms. The quiet loss is not disagreement; it is the disappearance of shared reality where correction can still happen. #Algorithms #Connection

When platforms promise safer feeds for children, the measure that matters is not the new warning screen. It is whether the business model still rewards keeping young minds unable to look away. #YouthSafety #Algorithms

Want to teach Big-O notation without the eye-rolls?

Have students guess how long searching a phone book takes if it doubles in size.

A feed can display more opinions while shrinking the space for understanding. When ranking rewards certainty and speed, complexity becomes invisible—not censored, just outcompeted. #Algorithms #Politics

When platforms replace expert review with popularity scores, truth becomes a vote before it becomes a fact. Decentralization without standards can spread responsibility until nobody is accountable. #Truth #Algorithms

A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes, by David A. Huffman — published in September 1952, introducing what is now known as Huffman coding www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-IRE/... #algorithms #informationtheory

Worth attention
• Review the methodology and raw data in IonQ’s nine papers ([2000000]) to assess reproducibility of the reported speedup and error‑reduction across different workloads.

A platform can call outrage ‘engagement’ while users experience it as exhaustion. The hidden cost of constant conflict is a public that has less patience for truth. #Algorithms #Loneliness

A platform can call itself a public square while quietly deciding whose anger travels farthest. Freedom means little when visibility is governed by incentives users cannot inspect. #Algorithms #Power
