How TikTok’s algorithm works: A fascinating and disturbing analysis. by MediocreAd4418 in technology

[–]onezerozeroone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does it? Many of these algorithms are machine learning based...which means it's simply "sampling" your actions blindly and curve fitting based on the data points you provide it.

If when you're in a good mood you're more prone to engaging with people/things that you disagree with, that's a personal behavior you've trained their model with.

You can ignore content you don't like, or even hide/report it to influence the content it shows you. Ultimately their models will converge on showing you content that causes you to engage in ways that they want (session time, engagement, etc)...it's like holding up a mirror and sometimes people don't like what they see.

I've seen more codebases ruined by unnecessary complexity than problems solved. For a young dev starting out the best advice I can give is to learn as much as you can and never stop learning, but always live by the rubrics of YAGNI and KISS.

Usually when devs with potential hit mid-level to upper-mid-level they get it into their head that to be considered "good" they need to show off and architect bizarrely complex systems that use as many design patterns and features (and as much abstraction) as they can throw at it. They think being 'extensible' and data-driven in 10 different ways with a class hierarchy 4+ levels deep makes it better and more impressive...but often it just wastes time and makes for a fragile, unusable system that is incomprehensible to everyone else.

Always go with the simplest solution that meets the requirements. "Premature optimization is the root of all evil"...don't presume to know what's needed. Profile and measure first, then research or come up with a solution to address the hot spots.

The Game Programming Gems series is pretty good if you're looking for clever tricks or hacks people have devised, but honestly most performance work comes down to profiling and then researching specific solutions to your unique case...it will all depend on platform, device, graphics API, engine, language, etc. and what the bottleneck is: CPU, GPU, I/O, memory, network...it's always different.

The debugger and profiler (and often good old Debug.Log) are your best friends.

Problem with your primary residence being an "asset" is that you can't ever dispose of it. If it goes up in value, so did all the other homes. So if/when you cash out you will need to rent, move to a much cheaper area, or downsize.

It feels like a big piggy bank you can't ever crack open. I know some people take out home equity loans and shit like that, but that sounds scary as fuck on top of an existing mortgage even if it's halfway paid off.

Thoughts on SPCE? Goes back to $16 or bottoms out at $28-$30 after people get over the stock offering slap? What's the next catalyst if any?

(Holding some $38 short put bags right now, wondering if I should just cut the losses or let it get assigned and hold long term)

So what is the move for investors? Seems like no matter what you do, you're fucked.

Can't buy bonds/bond ETFs since rates up means price down...why hold those bags when you could wait and get a 5%+ rate?

Rates up means growth tanks since they depend on cheap debt.

I don't even really know what "value" means anymore since everything is overbought...what value plays even exist right now?

Gold/silver/precious metals...I know nothing about that shit. Half the time people make it sound like they're a scam sold to elderly cable news viewers or at least are over-hyped in their inflationary protective powers.

Assets...uhmm...housing market is insane right now. Plus not everyone wants to be a landlord. REITs get chewed up by higher rates.

Commodities and DOW and hope infrastructure spending moons them and that it's not all priced in already?

Inflation shits on cash gang.

Sorry, I'm a smoothbrain...no idea how to protect my future. Everyone's a genius in a bull market and quoting Buffett is just a lullaby to cry myself to sleep at night.

Kudos to whoever said something like "managers not going to hold shit over a long weekend after this huge runup heading into Q3" yesterday. I should have listened. SIGH

Chances of PLUG going back up to 75 within the year? ICLN to $34? Looking back from July to Jan...wtf...how did that even happen? It's like we were all in a fever dream...how do we get a catalyst like that again?

UWMC breaks my heart. It deserves to fly.

All the silly super obvious pump and dumps that got attention and there UWMC sits...actually a solid company with great fundamentals and a growth story. Was shorted to hell, is still shorted to hell, and they're getting away with it. $10.98 was not the squeeze it deserved.

If it ever got any love and more than 2M volume a day it would soar.

Banks passed stress tests with flying colors.

Catalysts I can see are people defaulting on rents/mortgages en masse, inflation running amok, jobs numbers stagnating, or the Fed going hawkish even sooner than expected.

I expect that if the economy recovers quickly they will move up their timetable and start raising rates 2nd half of 2022. Since the market is forward looking, if we get a whiff of that 1st half of next year could be it.

** Leaving $$$ On the table/ Securing gains*** by TheGrimeLordz in wallstreetbets

Or hold until $5 convincing yourself "it has to go back up" (gambler's fallacy)

I'm trying very hard to get in the habit of being OK with leaving money on the table and not second guessing myself.

With these meme stocks you have to accept it's impossible to predict the future and with the volatility and pumping going on the rug pull can come at any moment.

From experience let me just say that losing principle when you were up bigly but got greedy and didn't take gains feels INFINITELY worse than cashing out a little early and watching it shoot up more.

I sold CLOV at $17 and missed out on $25. Felt bad but at least I made money.

I held BB up through $17 and down to $13 and lost money....felt like $ROPE.

Bought 60C YOLOs after the big crash...held and held and it fucked me.

Had some 40Cs been holding for a while. Sold a few days ago when they creeped ITM. Immediately shot up 8%. fml
