Optimizing for Multiple Objectives in Search and Recommendations (shaped.ai)
Building effective recommendation and search systems means going beyond simply predicting relevance. Modern users expect personalized experiences that cater to a wide range of needs and preferences, and businesses need systems that align with their overarching goals. This requires optimizing for multiple objectives simultaneously – a complex challenge that demands a nuanced approach. This post explores the concept of value modeling and multi-objective optimization (MOO), explaining how these techniques enable the development of more sophisticated and valuable recommendation and search experiences.

The Curious Case of Quentell (startifact.com)
I hang out on Mastodon quite a bit. 1 One of the most consistently engaging people in the Mastodon fediverse is @futurebird@sauropods.win. Besides pro-ant propaganda, you get thoughts about teaching and mathematics, micro-science fiction, her cat Pica (often wronged, always right), and much more. Highly recommended.

Lesser-known science fiction movies (exotext.com)
I love science fiction in all forms, and I can't resist watching almost any sci-fi movie. So, I watch a lot of them. It's a bit annoying how "sci-fi and fantasy" became the standard pairing. In my eyes, these genres are exactly opposite. It's like grouping movies about horses with movies about cars.

Tools Worth Changing to in 2025 (matthewsanabria.dev)
It’s almost 2025 in my part of the world and that means another year has gone by. Another year of love. Another year of joy. 2024 was a great year for me and my family overall. There were highs- we opened a physical location for my wife’s chocolate business, Lily & Sparrow, and I joined the team at Oxide Computer Company. There were lows- one of our dogs passed away and we adopted another shortly after.
