@krausini_@schkuba Nie ma różnicy ile przed, alokacja miejsca w kolejce jest losowa bez znaczenia czy 3 min przed czy 3 godz przed, jeśli jesteś na stronie gotowy przed czasem sprzedaży to po prostu kwestia szczęścia.
The software engineering behind the X "algorithm" is epic. It has to distill 500 million daily tweets down to a personalized handful it shows each person. This algorithm runs ~57,000 times a second 🤯 ... and each execution takes 220 seconds CPU time, but runs in 1.5 seconds real time on average, which means compute is distributed across 12+ million CPU cores working continuously.
Each step of recommendation algorithm pipeline is fascinating: maintaining real-time interaction graph, embedding spaces for clustering interests, ranking via 48M param neural net, etc. I love that it's mostly been made open source, and hope more companies do the same!
