Join my winning team!! I’m considering entering the @nosfabrica #wotathon with a doosey of a project that will prolly have plenty of momentum to last beyond the competition. Looking for a few people to join my team and split first prize. All talents will be considered. Comment bellow with yours.πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

That's quite a loaded ask πŸ˜‚ But you can define it as using a collection of frameworks in domains ouside what they were intended for. The relation between parts and wholes, how different systems interact together. What does that mean for a wotathon? If cities, immune systems, computer networks are able to have defense from external attack, can nostr do something similar? What about those defenses are algorithmic? We had a conversation about network effects on technology adoption. There's probably some relevant parts of that to work with.
I could be your intern. Becoming a valuable team-member in the future after getting experience in your project and learning a lot about WoT. What are my talents? Doing stuff that interns normally do.
From my perspective, WoT will be the healthy alternative on Nostr compared to the algorithms used by legacy social media platforms. Instead of "serving" an algorithm, you will "serve" your social graph. How do you achieve this? By embracing low-time preference and providing genuine value to your network.
It is a way to distribute learning of model parameters and inference of wot scores without having to share local user data or preferences. So one can preserve the privacy if needed, but still have reliable estimates. In addition, the client side computation just has to be aware of the subnetwork user cares about, the missing information about the rest of nostr network would come in terms of parameter estimates from other users or relays, which is low dimensional in comparison to raw data.
WoT takes advantage of this by using a quality rating matrix instead of a quantity one (quoting Arkinnox's post, "1 Out of 5 Stars - Why the Five ..."). By the design of the WoT system, content can be objectively evaluated (part 2 of Arkinnox's post), allowing the value of the post to be better perceived. Furthermore, WoT is different for each person (npub) because everyone has a unique social graph proximity and objective profile validations. And every user can choose for themselves the balance between these two metrics. https://www.relatr.xyz/about

Thanks for your insights. I look forward to seeing you on the competition calls and hearing more of what you learn and what you would like to work on. We’ll have intern positions open in a little while … keep in touch. πŸ‘€βœŒπŸΌ
