changed my approach a bit as I progress with DDIA. on completion of each chapter, I have decided to read papers relevant to that chapter.

currently reading - Dynamo: amazon's highly available key-value store focusing on making deliberate tradeoffs between availability, and consistency.

A deep dive into #X #CommunityNotes contributions in English and Spanish (2021-2025) organized by #DDIA, the Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas. Less than 10% of submitted community notes are published.

Event: DDIA BRIEFING: Inside X’s Community Notes

On July 9, 2025, the Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas (DDIA) hosted a briefing to share the first bilingual analysis of X’s community moderation tool. Based on over 1.7 million Community Notes, the presentation revealed how the system functions, identified language-based disparities, and offered data-driven insights into participation patterns and platform design challenges in decentralized moderation.

Meer dan 90 % van de door gebruikers voorgestelde #CommunityNotes op #X wordt nooit gepubliceerd. Dat zegt een studie van ngo #DDIA (Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas). Dit cijfer werpt twijfel op over de doelstelling van deze methode om #desinformatie op het internet te bestrijden.

"Meer dan 90 procent van community notes op X blijft onzichtbaar": rapport waarschuwt voor gebrekkige strijd tegen desinformatie | VRT NWS: nieuws

Meer dan 90 procent van de door gebruikers voorgestelde 'community notes' op X wordt nooit gepubliceerd. Dat blijkt uit een studie van ngo Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas (DDIA). Dit cijfer werpt twijfel op over de doelstelling van deze methode om desinformatie op het internet te bestrijden.

#BDA on US attacks on the #IranNuclearProgram : A preliminary #DIA report said (with low confidence) that the program was set back by a few month. A few days later, the #DNI and #DCIA both stated unequivocally that the program had been severely damaged or destroyed. I find it interesting that the #DDIA was appointed by #Biden and therefore is presumably a neutral actor, while both the DNI and DCIA are both Trump appointees and so are presumably political hacks.

RT @CarsonYangk8s: 📖 现今,尤其是在互联网领域,大多数应用都属于数据密集型应用。《设计数据密集型应用》这本书(即大名鼎鼎的 #DDIA)从底层数据结构到顶层架构设计,将数据系统设计中的精髓娓娓道来。其中的宝贵经验无论是对架构师、DBA、还是后端工程师、甚至产品经理都会有帮助。

沒想到作者最後來個回馬槍,講工程師倫理: 使用者也是人、要尊重每個人的資料、不要搞成 Designing Surveillance-Intensive Applications、工程師有責任為了那個我們想要的未來而努力。

這本書真的是棒棒,看不完至少也看最後一節 Doing the Right Thing。

End date is approaching fast (not fast enough!), so of course I decided to pick up a data visualization project to help me work through #DDIA. Thanks to @[email protected] for the book recommendations!
