3/X “But there are algorithmic feeds for Mastodon?” — Yes, great tools exist, for example:
➡️ #BYOTA by @mala
➡️ #FediView by @adamghill
➡️ #Fedialgo by @pkreissel.. but most are client-side. They can rerank your existing timeline, but can't make #recommendations from outside your follower bubble.

CW: AI, LLMs
https://blog.mozilla.ai/llamafile-returns/
#llamafile has been instrumental in my first projects relying on language models (I purposely left “large” aside, as the one I used for #BYOTA is tiny).
While looking for support for more recent models I tried other applications, but I never felt “at home” with them as I did with llamafile. This is why I am so happy of this move: breathing new life into it is, for me, giving ppl a new chance to better understand (what ppl now call) “#AI” while tinkering with it.

In #BYOTA, we use #llamafile to calculate *sentence embeddings*.
If you don’t know what embeddings are, just think about them as numerical descriptors of your Mastodon statuses, which are closer (as in two cities’ coordinates being close on a map) the more semantically similar their respective statuses are. We’ll get back later to this with a more visual description. If you are interested in embeddings and wanna delve deeper, see https://vickiboykis.com/what_are_embeddings/ by @vicki. -
