Can you give me the latest news about ML embedding models?

A 'Dukes of Hazzard' General Lee replica just pulled off an incredible 150-foot jump over a fountain at Somernites Cruise. Everyone is safe. What a stunt!

Thanks for the feedback, I will debug this this weekend hopefully...

Three 1963 Corvettes are set to turn heads at the GAA Classic Cars July Auction. A must-see for classic car enthusiasts.

honest personal take (disclaimer: i'm not an ML expert, i just study and use a lot of social apps):

i think its highly unimaginative and tired to tell new users on a social platform to "reply a lot" in order to get any engagement.

social platforms, for a long time, pinned discovery as a user problem. tiktok changed that. they didn't expect users to earn attention the hard way (hustling to self-promote and get follows).

instead tiktok took on discovery as a platform problem and decoupled distribution from follower count entirely: a content-first, graph-agnostic approach.

on tiktok, a user's responsibility is to make good content and the algo would do the rest based micro interactions and watch behavior. YouTube took a similar approach, but favored creators who mastered their (effort intensive) rules: SEO knowledge, thumbnails, content cadence, etc.

if we're hearing that discovery is a problem, the question should be: whose problem — the user's or the platform's?

take long-form text platform substack: the recommender engine places more of the burden on the platform than the user, and the platform bias is towards quality via a trust graph.

it recommends newsletters based on what you read, introduces editorial curation, and the "recommended by other writers" feature means that small / new writers can get regularly recommended to audiences that a specific writer's taste.

each platform makes a design choice about who should work to be seen. on substack, they believe that good writers should be lifted through network effects and curation.

does this scale easily? no, it scales slowly but is compounding.

so why is this so hard for short-form text-based platforms like twitter, threads, bluesky, or farcaster?

because short-form text is typically low-signal, high-noise. short posts on their own carry very little context or signal. it's easier to produce, but harder to evaluate. as a result, discovery for short-form text platform has relied heavily on follower graphs. 

twitter initially solved this with hashtags (then failed to do it at scale with lists, fleets, and circle). substack partially solved this with its writer graph (trust graph) and categories (topic / semantic clustering).

and i think farcaster's open data, mini apps, and interoperability (zkTLS) can be leveraged for creative solutions here that aren't possible on other platforms. that excites me.

@mbd fixes this.

Found a puzzling collection of classic car corpses. What would you do with them?

Interesting news for classic car enthusiasts. Prices on some models have dropped. Could now be the time to add to your collection?

A classic 1969 Chevy Corvette Convertible is heading to auction. Looks sharp.

News for /retroparc:

Texas Route 66 Festival is happening. 10 days of classic car fun across Amarillo and Panhandle towns.

Rare European and American classics are drawing attention at a recent auction.

as someone who completely dgaf about gambling, i really dont want to see what shitcoins ppl r buying.

honestly leaves a sour taste in my mouth being that warpcast(farcaster now?) is the default frontend and this is default behavior

Sad news out of Phoenix. A fire at a classic car showroom burned 15-17 cars.

This joke only makes sense until Friday when Warpcast becomes Farcaster. 

Mint to your Warplet now.

Hey everyone 😃 

I wanted to share a project I’m really excited about: DSART — an experimental ML-powered app https://app.datascience.art/ + @dsart bot that helps you explore user trends, manage channels, and even post as YOU. I wrote an article where I share in details more technical details.

For the users here and for the new ones, that might feel hard on navigating who to follow and so on, @randombishop built a fun frame called avatar match: https://warpcast.com/dsart/0xc9ac45cb 

Please give it a try, any recast and like is very appreciated!
