> It's nonsense

Why? (Honest question.)

which part do you want open sourced? timelines are generated after going through machine learning and then multiple services. even then, some of the infrastructure limits what you see in the end.

> Unfortunately, Haplo has its limits. Since we try to pull every single Tweet ID in a conversation every time a conversation is loaded in real-time, this is potentially an unbounded amount of data. We’ve found that if our platform tries to load more than a certain number of entries from our cache at once, our cache request latency will spike, and we begin to time-out on a significant fraction of read requests. Because of this, there is a limit of thousands of Tweets per conversation tree in this cache.

even just showing an ad is a ton work has a bunch of services involved

Other stuff that I think explains the complexity

there's no single algorithm, its a bunch of parts coming together from hundreds of engineers and multiple services.

Also genuine, why would a person believe that would happen? The foremost thing that comes to mind is they'd be giving something of great value and receiving nothing in return.

You think there is no such thing as OSS models?

Please explain. I can easily envision much more transparency on how the feed works.

Transparency i can agree with, i think twitter does a horrible job at that. especially explaining the rumored shadow bans and stuff. But i think thats different then open source code
