Eric MaugendreThe new algorithm for directed cheapest routes "slices the graph into layers, moving outward from the source like Dijkstra’s. But rather than deal with the whole frontier at each step, it uses the Bellman-Ford algorithm to pinpoint influential nodes, moves forward from these nodes to find the shortest paths to others, and later comes back to other frontier nodes. It doesn’t always find the nodes within each layer in order of increasing distance, so the sorting barrier doesn’t apply. And if you chop up the graph in the right way, it runs slightly faster than the best version of Dijkstra’s algorithm. It’s considerably more intricate, relying on many pieces that need to fit together just right. But curiously, none of the pieces use fancy mathematics."<a href="https://www.quantamagazine.org/new-method-is-the-fastest-way-to-find-the-best-routes-20250806/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.quantamagazine.org/new-method-is-the-fastest-way-to-find-the-best-routes-20250806/</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/graphTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#graphTheory</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/shortestPath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shortestPath</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/navigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#navigation</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/networks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#networks</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/computing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#computing</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CS</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/computerScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#computerScience</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/algorithmics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#algorithmics</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/algorithmic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#algorithmic</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/algorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#algorithms</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/algorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#algorithm</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Most Americans think censorship is about banning books, deleting tweets, or deplatforming dissidents. And depending on where and who you are, this can indeed be a primary form of censorship. But in 2025 in America, the most widespread and insidious forms of censorship aren’t about takedowns or suppression of speech— rather, they’re about tuning the algorithm. Quietly, subtly, and almost always with plausible deniability, the Trump administration appears to be executing a playbook of what can best be described as reverse algorithmic capture: a process through which government pressure reshapes the architecture of digital platforms, not by direct control, but by engineering incentives that guide algorithms to amplify preferred narratives and suppress dissent. Put differently, it’s the state using soft power to realign platforms’ invisible gates toward ideological conformity—but never giving up that element of distance and plausible deniability."<a href="https://weaponizedspaces.substack.com/p/revealed-how-the-trump-admin-is-covertly" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://weaponizedspaces.substack.com/p/revealed-how-the-trump-admin-is-covertly</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Algorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Algorithms</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Censorship</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Disinformation</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a>

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾David's article really resonated with me because I've been thinking for a long while now to create a newsletter (or three) to surface barely heard voices. On Substack, for example, the voices I hear are overwhelmingly from the United States, and it is incredibly hard to find voices from Asia and South-East Asia. It's a source of huge frustration for me because the most common narratives about my part of the world is from the United States, and a lot of times these narratives are distorted, skewed to American values and is not what is really happening in my region. Yet, when I try to speak up on Substack, I never get seen as the algorithm is prioritising US voices and Substacks. Worse, they are also boosting only popular ones, which means the most popular narrative is the loudest. I have occasionally shared links to South-East Asian Substacks and blogs, and each time I do, I get messages of gratitude. However, I still wondered if my tiny act of rebellion would do anything to move the needle in terms of being heard in an English-speaking Internet overwhelmed by Western voices and narratives. David's post reminded me that yes, I should put in some effort to help surface more unknown corners of the Internet. Maybe we won't get rid of the algorithmic complacency sweeping society now, but at least we'll do some tiny thing to help create a messy but human algorithm instead.<a href="https://www.raptitude.com/2025/06/how-to-surf-the-web-in-2025-and-why-you-should/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.raptitude.com/2025/06/how-to-surf-the-web-in-2025-and-why-you-should/</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Internet</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Algorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Algorithms</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IndieWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndieWeb</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blogging</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/blogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blogs</a>
