It's both. Since most videos are a couple minutes long at most, and a TikTok doomscrolling session can last for hours, the algorithm can show you all the new videos you haven't seen of accounts you seem to enjoy (or are following), and a ton of new stuff as well.


  Around 2,000 people were killed in Iran protests, an Iranian official told Reuters on Tuesday, blaming "terrorists" for the deaths of civilians and security personnel.

  A senior Iranian health ministry official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said about 3,000 people had been killed across the country but sought to shift the blame to “terrorists” fomenting unrest. The figure included hundreds of security officers, he said.
  Another government official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity, said he had seen an internal report that referred to at least 3,000 dead, and added that the toll could climb.

Maths Youtuber Noel Friedrich recently made a video about A4 paper[0]. It turns out that since the ISO specification rounds the side lengths down to whole millimeters, with compounding errors, more than 2^10 A10s (smallest paper size in the standard) fit into one A0 (largest size in the standard).

Great read and nice drawings!

I made some impractical dithering algorithms a while ago, such as distributing the error to far away pixels or distributing more than 100% of the error: https://burkhardt.dev/2024/bad-dithering-algorithms/

Playing around with the distribution matrices and exploring the resulting patterns is great fun.


Nice ! Thank you for the link! :)
