You see some people just throwing the word around unnecessarily. Probably makes them feel like they know what’s up 😂🤣😂🤣 e.g paraphrasing : “something is off with the algorithm cos why am I seeing so so post on my explore page”
There quite literally is an algorithm to curate their feed though...
select * from newsfeedtable
Where user='idiot'
nah I think most people learned it from youtube
“Just”? They’ve been saying it for years.
You don't gotta be a fully fledged high tech worker to know what an algorithm is lol
I mean... that's the right word in that context
Yes how dare they? they should not use algorithm word. It’s property of only techies. (Sarcasm mode off) 😝
I told friends I’m a software engineer, and they asked “do you work on the algorithms?”. I said “yes”.
😂😂
My 6th grade boy knows the word Algorithm. It doesn't belong to computer science, it comes from maths.
But your example just used the word algorithm correctly? Of all the posts in the world some decision gets made on which to show you, could be a complex ML model, a simple heuristic, or even just grabbing the 10 most recent posts but it’s totally reasonable to describe the newsfeed building process as an algorithm.
Yes they always blame the “algorithm”
