Engagement
A typical post picks up 355 interactions against 954K followers, an engagement rate of 0.038%. Measured over 71 original posts, its engagement rate beats 54% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 83K times each, and 0.427% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.72% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 7.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 71 posts sampled, 46% carry an image or video and 41% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 67K interactions, about 189x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Noah Smith ๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ๐น๐ผ's engagement rate beats 54% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 27% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.038%, Noah Smith ๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ๐น๐ผ sits above the 25th percentile of the 212,741 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.025% to 0.146%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 46% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 41% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 46% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 41% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 278 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzymeโs gene sits a long array of repeating DNAโa structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR. We donโt yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use. Read more: https://t.co/RuEosScSMb

i think AI is about to uncover an entire hidden world of animal communication and what it's already found is insane... > AI found evidence that elephants call each other by name. when researchers played one its name-like call, it approached the speaker faster and called back more, revealing a form of personal naming once thought almost uniquely human > AI analyzed 53,993 marmoset calls and found tiny monkeys may use names too. entire families use similar labels for the same monkey, suggesting they learn names and dialects from each other > AI learned to tell what Egyptian fruit bats were arguing about: food, mating, sleeping spots or personal space. it could even partly identify who was shouting at whom inside a colony of thousands > AI discovered a โphonetic alphabetโ in sperm whale clicks, with rhythm, tempo and tiny timing changes combining into at least 143 recurring patterns. their communication system is nearly 10x more expressive than scientists previously believed, and we still don't know what most of it means > an AI trained on 1.5 million zebra finch calls held real-time vocal exchanges with living birds, generating calls as they spoke and getting them to respond with the same timing and flexibility they use with other birds > Google trained an AI on decades of dolphin recordings to predict what sound comes next, then paired it with an underwater device that gives objects their own synthetic whistles. the goal is for a wild dolphin to copy a whistle to ask a human for a specific object, creating a tiny shared vocabulary between species > AI combined microphones worn by wild crows with nest cameras and uncovered quiet calls that may announce when a crow is arriving at the nest and help entire families coordinate caring for their chicks > a robot bee performed the waggle dance real bees use to share the direction and distance of food, and the bees changed their flight paths based on its instructions. researchers effectively sent a destination into a hive in bee language

- What is Noah Smith ๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ๐น๐ผ's engagement rate on X?
- Noah Smith ๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ๐น๐ผ (@Noahpinion) has an engagement rate of 0.038%, based on the median interactions across 71 original posts from the last 30 days against 953,980 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.038%, Noah Smith ๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ๐น๐ผ sits above the 25th percentile of the 212,741 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @Noahpinion have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 54% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @Noahpinion post?
- Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 7.67 posts per day across the measured window.
