You can’t even hear whoever is speaking at the time, and we’d all starve before everyone had their say. But try to apply the same freeform discussion method to feeding a football stadium with 100,000 people. Everyone can pretty easily give their opinion, and reach a consensus before you all get too hungry. Figuring out where to eat with your three friends is easy - it’s low-stakes, and there’s only a few people involved. I think that we’ve all experienced something like this. The quote above, from Cheaper by the Dozen (the book, not the movie), is from a woman with eleven siblings, explaining that their father had to implement some aspects of assembly-line parenting to get everyone out the door in the morning. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, Cheaper by the Dozen Some regimentation was necessary to prevent bedlam. In other words, there are a ton of potential confounding factors.īut despite this, I think these graphs are suggestive of a real effect, and a strong one too - large communities are much worse at positive engagement with ideas, in my case, very silly ideas.
POKEMMO MODS CONTROLLER MOD
The /r/moviedetails mod I communicated with (above) explicitly says that they check post history to remove “spammers,” so, it’s entirely possible that this graph is merely a graph of when I trigger an automated spam filter. Further, I tended to post my articles first in smaller subreddits that I actually liked, and only then in larger subreddits. In the majority of “large” subreddits, I only made one post, which is difficult to do statistics on. Let me play the null-hypothesis advocate. Posting on larger subreddits gives you less engagement per subscriber, even though far more people should see your post, and you also run a much larger risk of simply getting your post removed. I notice a pretty sharp increase in somewhere between 10^5 and 10^6 subscribers, with an inflection point at ~300,000. Įach dot in the following plot represents a subreddit community, plotted vs. So, if a post of mine has 5 “karma” (defined as upvotes - downvotes ) and 4 comments, the engagement for this post on /r/AncientEgyptian would be 5 + 10*4 = 45. For example, the Ancient Egyptian subreddit community has 4,800 subscribers at the time of this post. number of subreddit subscribers roughly measures the positive response to a post vs. Looking at the per-post, per-subscriber engagement, vs. additive figures of merit, and finding basically no difference in the conclusion, I chose:Įngagement = Upvotes - Downvotes + 10*Comments. Further, I’m going to stick with reddit’s convention and subtract downvotes from upvotes.Īfter some experimenting with multiplicative vs. It makes sense to me to weight a comment higher than an upvote in terms of engagement, as a comment represents more effort involved engaging with the post. Let’s combine upvotes, downvotes, and comments into a figure of merit I call “engagement.” Engagement with a post should meaningfully combine upvotes, downvotes and comments. Additionally, we can also see the fraction of posts to that subreddit that were removed by the moderators. community size (number of subscribers to community). Its base is an extremely powerful PJRC Teensy 4.X micro-controller sporting an ARM Cortex-M7 and a USB 2.0 PHY that makes it possible to drive up to 4056 leds at high frame rates.Ī massive amount of 23 pins on Teensy 4.0 or even 41 pins on Teennsy 4.The above plots show the “karma” (upvotes - downvotes) per post, and number of comments per post, vs. The SRGBmods LED Controller v2 is a DIY (do it yourself) ARGB controller exclusively designed to be used with SignalRGB! Way faster, so the idea of a new and much faster controller was born. Transfer more data within the actual limits, we thought that it’s time to come up with something

The Pico LC is performing in reality due to its very limiting USB 1.1 PHY.Įven though the Pico is still being worked on and several compression methods are being tested to I am proud to present the latest addition to the family of SRGBmods projects to make your life easier and more shiny and blinky: The SRGBmods LED Controller v2 is here!Įver since SignalRGB added the ability to track a device’s frame rate, we were shocked about how bad
