Birds and humanity have interacted for as long as there has been humanity, and various bird species have proven to be constants, influencing mythologies, religions, art, economics, and even warfare. Natural history, as it turns out, is human history, and that is the idea behind the book 10 Birds that Changed the World. Stephen Moss is the author, he is one of Britain's most influential nature writers and broadcasters. You can find him writing a monthly Birdwatch column for the Guardian and appearing regularly on BBC Radio, among many other places. Also, a recent hantavirus outbreak on a nature cruise has the wider world looking at birders and landfills with a critical eye,  even though birders have been part of the solution.  Subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a rating or a review if you are so inclined!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Community Notes by X, published by NicholasKees on March 18, 2024 on LessWrong. I did an exploration into how Community Notes (formerly Birdwatch) from X (formerly Twitter) works, and how its algorithm decides which notes get displayed to the wider community. In this post, I'll share and explain what I found, as well as offer some comments. Community Notes is a fact-checking tool available to US-based users of X/Twitter which allows readers to attach notes to posts to give them clarifying context. It uses an open-source bridging-based ranking algorithm intended to promote notes which receive cross-partisan support, and demote notes with a strong partisan lean. The tool seems to be pretty popular overall, and most of the criticism aimed toward it seems to be about how Community Notes fails to be a sufficient replacement for other, more top-down moderation systems.[1] This seems interesting to me as an experiment in social technology that aims to improve group epistemics, and understanding how it works seems like a good place to start before trying to design other group epistemics algorithms. How does the ranking algorithm work? The full algorithm, while open-source, is quite complicated and I don't fully understand every facet of it, but I've done a once-over read of the original Birdwatch paper, gone through the Community Notes documentation, and read this summary/commentary by Vitalik Buterin. Here's a summary of the "core algorithm" as I understand it (to which much extra logic gets attached): Users are the people who have permission to rate community notes. To get permission, a person needs to have had an account on X for more than 6 months, be verified, and have committed no violations of X's rules. The rollout of community notes is slow, however, and so eligible account holders are only added to the Community Notes user pool periodically, and at random. New users don't immediately get permission to write their own notes, having to first get a "rating impact" by rating existing notes (will explain this later). Notes are short comments written by permitted users on posts they felt needed clarification. These are not immediately made publicly visible on X, first needing to be certified as "helpful" by aggregating ratings by other Community Notes users using their ranking algorithm. Users are invited to rate notes as either "not helpful," "somewhat helpful," or "helpful." The results of all user-note pairs are recorded in a matrix r where each element run{0,0.5,1,null} corresponds to how user u rated note n. Users only rate a small fraction of notes, so most elements in the matrix are "null." Non-null elements are called "observed" ratings, and values of 0, 0.5, and 1 correspond to the qualitative ratings of "not helpful," "somewhat helpful," and "helpful" respectively. This rating matrix is then used by their algorithm to compute a helpfulness score for each note. It does this is by learning a model of the ratings matrix which explains each observed rating as a sum of four terms: ^run=μ+iu+in+fufn Where: μ: Global intercept (shared across all ratings) iu: User intercept (shared across all ratings by user u) in: Note intercept (shared across all ratings of note n) This is the term which will eventually determine a note's "helpfulness." fu, fn: Factor vectors for u and n. The dot product of these vectors is intended to describe the "ideological agreement" between a user and a note. These vectors are currently one dimensional, though the algorithm is in principle agnostic to the number of dimensions. For U users and N notes that gets us 1 + 2U + 2N free parameters making up this model. These parameters are estimated via gradient descent every hour, minimizing the following squared error loss function (for observed ratings only): run(run^run)2+λi(i2u+i2n+μ2)+λf(||fu||2...

The boys consider BuzzFeed's demise and whether the ‘listicle' will be missed or not. Anheuser-Busch puts Alissa Heinerscheid ‘on leave', prompting Toby to extol the advantages of being honest when you've been fired, whilst recalling how his impressive hacking skills cost him his job at the Times. Toby and Nick discuss Diane Abbott's peculiar letter to the Observer, and her laughable attempt at backtracking, despite the fact that many of her woke fellow travellers subscribe to the same bonkers intersectional orthodoxy. Andrew Bridgen has been expelled from the Conservative party. Nick and Toby discuss why, and what the future may hold for him. Dominic Raab has resigned under Kafkaesque circumstances. Is this just a hit job by the blob? Comic titan Barry Humphries sadly passes away.

Welcome to this week's Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 33! Nick and Toby revisit Bud Light's disastrous decision to pay Dylan Mulvany to endorse its product. They discuss whether this is a turning point in the pushback against woke corporations and wonder if the Right should embrace the same tactics as the Left, i.e., encourage people to boycott companies they disapprove of. In our regular section ‘Birdwatch', the boys discuss Elon's evisceration of a BBC tech correspondent and why it's so damaging for legacy media companies like the BBC to be caught trafficking in misinformation when trustworthiness is supposed to be their great asset. They then talk about the latest Just Stop Oil protest, which involved orange powder and a snooker table, and forensically analyse the protestor's Patreon page. Joe Biden visited Ireland and Nick and Toby discuss his gaffe-ridden tour and how on earth this has persuaded him to run for president again. Can he win re-election? Not according to Dominic Cummings, who has used AI to predict a Trump victory in a Biden-Trump contest. This week's sponsor is Simple SEOMan, who you can contact via email on guy@simpleseoman.co.uk.

Welcome to this week's Weekly Sceptic podcast – episode 31! Donald Trump has been indicted by the New York District Attorney – Toby and Nick discuss what might be behind it. Andrew Tate (Top G) has been released, is under house arrest and is back on Twitter! Nick and Toby debate Tate's meteoric, mythological (and unlikely) path to fame and notoriety. And whether Tate is a useful ally or not… And whether or not Toby might have become a Top G, had he be raised in Luton. Trans madness continues unabated since last week with the media outdoing themselves referring to the recent school shooting in America, with Christianity being blamed for the tragedy. Nick and Toby discuss this as well as if and why the elites are promoting wokery… Rishi Sunak is threatening to combat grooming gangs – Toby and Nick consider the predictable meltdown on Twitter as well as whether this was, in fact, a trap set for the Labour party. Birdwatch makes a welcome return this week with the boys discussing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's possible sock puppet Twitter account making threats to Matt Walsh and the rising temperature of political discourse in the US. Will Jones and Nick catch up about the most interesting recent stories from The Daily Sceptic.

Welcome to this week's Weekly Sceptic – where Toby and Nick discuss how Liz Truss's downfall was more to do with the Bank of England, Pension Funds and LDIs, rather than her ‘Low Tax/High Growth' policies. They talk about Rishi's reshuffle – with Kemi Badenoch having been given the larger role of International Trade and Business. Toby recalls an uncharacteristically funny story by Stewart Lee about Grant Shapps – who was also reshuffled to the somewhat oxymoronic Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Nick and Toby also discuss the pathetic examples of Dominic Raab's so called ‘bullying' of civil servants (aka holding staff to high standards, like spelling correctly). Nick and Toby discuss whether The Grammys were Satanic or just naff. Toby posits that back in the day – David Bowie dressing as a woman (whilst actually being incredibly talented) was genuinely counter cultural; compared to the low quality musical output from ‘brave' woke performers who are simply swimming with the tide. Nick suggests that maybe Elvis's hips were to blame and Mary Whitehouse was right...

Alistair Campbell attacks Toby for being white and not Trans (while at the same time outing himself as not in step with the LGBT lobby), Nick discusses his genius peanut allergy analogy and Toby discusses how Nicola Sturgeon is spending what remains of her political capitol trying to win the miniscule Trans vote. Toby rallies behind victims of ‘shy bladder syndrome' and Nick announces that controversialist Andrew Tate actually has ‘aggressive bladder syndrome', judging by how unconcerned he was when Nick observed him peeing at GB News. Also this week, the great Dr Jordan Peterson is accused of wrongthink by the College of Psychologists of Ontario – who have summoned him to attend a Maoist political reprogramming session (to be paid for by Peterson!) and Nick accidentally establishes Canada's branch of the Free Speech Union.

Hour 2 -  Good Monday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:  Twitter announced the expansion of Birdwatch, a fact-checking program the social media platform began testing last year that has contributors flag "misleading" tweets with "notes that provide informative context." The U.S. army is recommending soldiers apply for SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps, to help cover their rising costs from inflation. The anniversary of the tragic 9/11 attacks took place over the weekend. Students on college campuses were asked about 9/11... Nick shares some of their responses.  CNN contributor Dean Obeidallah commemorated the 9/11 terror attacks with several posts equating former President Trump and “MAGA” Republicans with the Islamic terrorists behind the deadly 2001 attacks. Chuck Todd also weighed in on the anniversary of September 11th... “We're now as a nation battling a threat from within. Is the threat equal or greater than what we faced after 9/11?” A reporter tried to compel a Las Vegas sheriff to condemn former President Donald Trump after police arrested a local Democrat politician for the murder of an investigative journalist.
