This is not believable. It's not syntactically valid Python. https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/blob/c54bec0d4e029fe34926ef3258a86ccacc0d0182/trust_and_s

- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y agoTrue, but on the other hand, it's not exactly surprising if they're redacting details related to spam detection, algorithmic manipulation, foreign interference, and other such adversarial phenomena. (I'm not necessarily saying that's what's going on. But I do seem to recall that when reddit open-sourced, they deliberately chose to redact info related to vote manipulation/spam detection/etc.)
- 3np 1y agoDo you also believe it plausible that aside from redacted parts, this module has not been changed in any way on production servers for over 2 years (last commit is spring 2023)?
- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y agoThat's a fair point, it looks like they aren't making much effort to keep this up to date.
- jibal 1y agoi.e., it's not production code and the guy who said it is and claimed to work at Twitter was lying, as previously pointed out. If only some people would read for comprehension before commenting ...
- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y agoIt could be old production code.
- jibal 1y agoThat's obviously not what "production code" means here. You just said that "Do you also believe it plausible that aside from redacted parts, this module has not been changed in any way on production servers for over 2 years (last commit is spring 2023)?" was a good point, so you know what is meant. And further up in the thread there's "I've always wondered - how can I as a non X engineer be sure that the code on GH is actually deployed on their servers?". I just made the point about ignoring the context and then you do it again. That is indistinguishable from trolling. Feh. No more responses from me.
- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y agoSeems like a semantic argument over the definition of the term "production code". It's OK for you to use that term differently from anonym29 does. Cheers mate.
