i think "{flaps away screaming}" is one of the greatest lines ever uttered in the philosophy of mind

if one of your follows is following 5000 people, you're (proportionally, not absolutely) less likely to find the candidate in their following list. another approach is to only search the following lists of mutuals the user has recently interacted with

Friendship paradox - Wikipedia

something that might solve this and also the speed:
instead of sampling every follow's follows (which is a superquadratic[1] nightmare drip-fed through rate-limited network IO), sort follows by number of following and only scan the following list of those with sufficiently low numbers

oxidist, the dispenser of silent koans

yes, the infinite jest thing happened to me too

norvid_studies on X: "@oxidist oh did this happen to you too" / X @oxidist oh did this happen to you too

yes, it rules. upstream colour was less of a classic but pretty good too

in any case, you should watch satoshi kon movies if you liked 'your name'. they have a similar level of visual and aural beauty but with something to actually say. Paprika is a better Inception, Perfect Blue is very lynchian if you like that sort of thing

another point for the norvid is older version of oxidist theory

i haven’t watched much anime either, but my issue is that it’s using the stunning visuals and score to mask, imo, an incoherent and thin plot. one of those movies you watch while cuddling with member of preferred sex and don’t think much about afterwards

finally, a work of art over whose quality norvid and i strongly disagree

although i now notice that the twitter emoji set is open source

twitter has their own emoji set, so this is more of an ios/macos thing rather than a bluesky thing really

more ominous on this platform

ahahahahahaha

you're absolutely right!
