JonReally great analysis of Twitter's new "open source" initiative. Ultimately, like everything else he says, what Elon says is usually not what is actuary happening.
Patrick here makes a really good point that, while you can see the source code, you can't see the database - which contains the actual tweets of course, but could also store things out algorithm decisions and weighting. That is, you might be able to figure it how the application might make a decision given a certain set of inputs, but we don't have the inputs, so we can't really be certain of the outputs.
