Glorious day yesterday - the calm before the storm - and so walked the 7.5 miles from Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay along the old railway line. Lovely walk, lunch and wandering before the bus back to Whitby and some drinks and fan dinner...

Good stuff: 1. An afternoon walk that leaves you feeling happier than before 2. Hearing someone’s family story (or a little of it) 3. TWO phone calls/chats today! 4. Getting a letter in the mail 5. One cookie, 2 glasses of wine - A photo from the walk

How we find similar posts

A meaning fingerprint
Every post is turned into a list of numbers that captures what it says, so two posts can match without sharing a single word.
Close neighbours
We look for the posts whose fingerprints sit closest to this one.
A second opinion
A second model, trained on our own judgements of which posts really belong together, puts those neighbours in order.
Related posts stay together
Posts on similar subjects are grouped, with links to read the rest.
Weak matches stay hidden
If nothing is close enough, we show nothing rather than a poor match.

Likes, reposts and follower counts never decide the order.
