In this hang out chat with my coworker, we browse through some of the best open but mostly closed twitter/the-algorithm pull requests and issues. If you didn't know, when twitter went open source on github, it attracted a completely different crowd. While some thought it brought transparency, it really brought an infinite stream of troll comments, issues and PRs. Many of the PRs include fixing all the bad code by deleting everything or switching the entire algorithm with a video game. There are plenty of funny find-replace PRs and you won't believe what the highest commented issue is. Honestly it's my favorite.

In this deep dive, we explore the paper 'The Pirate Kitty Theory: How a House Cat Being let out led to the Extinction of the Dodo Bird' from the prestigious Cranberry Lemon University researchers published in Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology. Dave and Cindy discuss the various models used to determine the feasibility of a single cat extinction when the diary of Captain Poopdeck Cooksley Johnson uncover a dark revolation, his pirate cat Lord Whiskers may have caused an animal to go extinct. In the paper, differential equations, Epic Battle Simulator, and a General Adversarial Network are used to determine that we don't really know what happened.

It is chapter 1 of 'Et al. Because Not All Research Deserves a Nobel Prize' https://packt.link/SEX9v
