    7 moves in 5 months. Sounds about right for chess. /s

    I had no idea Twitters recommendation algorithm is open source/source available. Is that because of some EU requirements? I vaguely remember talks about it being required, but that was few years ago and I don’t know if it ever passed.

      they haven’t updated it at all, despite lots of big and obvious changes.
      iirc, its a bit useless, and can’t be used for anything.

        Thanks, I haven’t really looked into it, and kind of expected that it’s probably not to be trusted. But it surprised me that it’s actually a thing, not it makes sense why.
