Feeling cute. Might invent a new branch of mathematics called "mathstr".

SME score on npub profiles in clients when?
I would feel too bad for humans genuinely struggling with low scores unless the system is too easy to game
I mean in response to having it on all profiles, not measuring it in general
Well, you can game any score, but in the end, people who follow you would get annoyed if your posts were just nonsensical junk and you'd probably start racking up mutes and reports as spam.
I guess making it clear you're not a bot could be easy enough. I just wouldn't want to encourage the next generation of kids to get competitive about it. Imagine your kid coming home from school saying nobody laughs at their jokes and someone made fun of them for having a low social entropy score. Or your kid is a polymath but the anti intellectuals actually pick on their social entropy score for being too high.
It could also go a whole other way, imagine your grandpa flexing on you because your social entropy score isn't as high as his?
Leave these complex mathematical statistics to us nerds imo 😆
How do I not qualify as a Real Nerd™?????
I'm literally a computer scientist who has just spent her free time creating an algorithm for determining the intrapersonal perplexity of json file content.
You qualify. You seem better with this stuff than me - I understand statistics quite well conceptually, but I'm not as good at math.
The measurement algorithms that frighten you aren't actually developed. They're just the way we analyze the world around us on the fly, and sometimes we pour them into code, so that other people have the same information we do.
Hmm...
Maybe I just invented a new way to measure intelligence. The more intelligent someone is, the more-easily they become bored with repetition, so they'd probably create a bot to write the more repetitive stuff or just skip it because they find it tedious to write, and their personal account would stay complex and varied.
And, in that case, it probably shouldn't go on profiles because most people don't like having their intelligence measured or even knowing that it's that easy to measure.
good idea! 👍 Need to couple it with a usefulness/on-topicness metric though, as randomly generated posts would have high SME
Darn, I knew I'd somehow get screwed over by this measure. Can't stay on topic, for the life of me.
The thing is, on-topicness is in the eye of the beholder, so it can't really be an objective metric, needs to be personalized 🤔
You could maybe ask for follow recommends for X topic, ranked by WoT and SME.
Then you'd find new, high-quality material, even if they weren't in your WoT. Would be a way of getting out of WoT-bubbles.
