Next week the Beatles are set to release "Now And Then" — their "last" song to feature all four members that's been in the making for over four decades. https://t.co/7rg37Jh7DL
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!
Did you know that the Northern Arizona University (NAU) scholarship is super popular in the beautiful southwest?Lots of students are vying for it! Better start working on that application! #scholarship#NAU#education
