Fediverse @lemmy.world Agosagror @lemmy.dbzer0.com Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post.
I was playing around with Lemmy statistics the other day, and I decided to take the number of comments per post. Essentially a measure of engagement – the higher the number the more engaging the post is. Or in other words how many people were pissed off enough to comment, or had something they felt like sharing. The average for every single Lemmy instance was 8.208262964 comments per post.
So I modeled that with a Poisson distribution, in stats terms X~Po(8.20826), then found the critical regions assuming that anything that had a less than 5% chance of happening, is important. In other words 5% is the significance level. The critical regions are the region either side of the distribution where the probability of ending up in those regions is less than 5%. These critical regions on the lower tail are, 4 comments and on the upper tail is 13 comments, what this means is that if you get less than 4 comments or more than 13 comments, that's a me

I am currently winding down the Mastodon bots I used to post sunrise and sunset times. The precipitating event is that the admin of the instance hosting the associated accounts demanded they be made nigh-undiscoverable, but the underlying cause is that it’s become increasing clear that Mastodon isn’t, and won’t ever be, a good platform for “asynchronous ephemeral notifications of any kind”. I’d also argue (more controversially) that it’s simply not good infrastructure for social networking of any kind. There are lots of interesting people using Mastodon, and I’m sure it will live on as a good-enough space for certain niche groups. But there is no question that it will never offer the fun of early Twitter, let alone the vibrancy of Twitter during its growth phase. I’ve long since dropped Mastodon from my home screen, and have switched to Bluesky for text-centric social media

Fediverse @lemmy.world Lovable Sidekick @lemmy.world How to find a post labeled "lemmy.world" that was on another instance?
No idea how I got there but somehow I saw this post somehow on sh.itjust.works, about a prefab house that was found floating in the Pacific. I wanted to comment but the only login I have is on lemmy.world. Notice the post is from The Picard Maneuver, whose posts I've seen many times, and it says lemmy.world above their name.
Lemmy.world has a whitepeopletwitter community but the newest post is 2 months old. This one is from 10 hours ago. Search on the lemmy.world main page for "Minding" turns up a bunch of posts going back months, but this one isn't there.
I thought I understood how federation works but I'm stumped. Is this really a lemmy.world post? If not, what does the presence of "lemmy.world" on it indicate?

Fediverse @lemmy.world Cattail @lemmy.world proposed video descriptor element for peertube
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28064839
writing down my thoughts for added elements called Video_description_vector and Video_description_vector_history. Video_description_vector is an element that an instance gives to describe what categories a video does and does not belong to and Video_description_vector_history is record of user submissions of what categories they say a video belongs to so that way categories can be removed.
Video_description_vector has sub elements that are format standards, this is done so that so that future potentially better format can be entered into Video_description_vector . I'm working on my recommended standard, so far I have isTrue array that lists what categories the video belongs to, while the isFalse element lists what categories it does not belong to—subjectively. done that way so that isn't a sea of element like "cartoon":True or "action":False . I do know that I need sub-element for music metrics

Fediverse @lemmy.world Cattail @lemmy.world Basic recommendation video algorithm for peertube
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28011368
So I started by doing research and by research I mean watching two videos on YouTube about basic recommendation algorithms.
I did watch a 30 minute video on Netflix software engineer talking about using machine learning and complex matrix and these bandit style machine learning algorithms to recommend TV shows/movies really the base conclusion is that there's a 50% improve over doing all these complex things over their baseline measurement. Baseline will mean traditional pre neral network based algorithms.
The way I interpret it is that basics take you a long way and all the basics are is just organizing any peertube video into a vector and people watching into a vector as well. The idea would be that which videos are more similar to each other would be good recommendations if a watcher watch one of those videos, or if they didn't like it don't recommend any videos similar to that. Once these videos get vectorized then t

Fediverse @lemmy.world asudox @lemmy.asudox.dev 2 Instances are being used for coordinated vote manipulation, and should be defederated. chinese.lol lemmy.doesnotexist.club
The attacker seems to be the admin of those two instances. Both instances have their registrations closed.
Edit: It is now open for both of them, or was already. I checked the Fediseer page for both instances and it still says that their registrations are closed.
Though it is suspicious that no captcha, email confirmation or manual approval is required for both of these instances. The admin of lemmy.doesnotexist.club seems to be inactive since their account creation yet this instance is still running. If the admin is the attacker, it could also be that they are the one behind the recent nicole spam.
