    It's interesting to see how "algorithm" has become a bogeyman among people who write about tech, even people who tend to be relatively well informed. It's as if people want "algorithm" to become the new "radiation". https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2018/04/what-if-we-paid-for-facebook.html …pic.twitter.com/J7GKcfJ2wt

        It's a word undergoing mitosis splitting into two different words that are spelled and pronounced exactly the same. An algorithm == recipe, procedure, automated function. The algorithm == an inscrutable black box collection of consequential decisions that has power over you.

        Should Facebook's feed curation even be called an "algorithm"? "Make people click on more ads" isn't an unambigously-stated problem like sorting a list is.

        I think that's exactly what's meant by "algorithm" in the wider community though - something you can't verify that has some wiggle room in its results. Wild that it's the exact opposite of the technical usage.

        No algorithms at all. Not even a linked list or linear search.

        Lol, what a fun thought. To my mind a single line of code constitutes an algorithm, even a NOP one-liner. Now imagine a machine that accepts a zero-length program as a single NOP. Then even the absence of code could be interpreted as a null algorithm.
