@aquariusacquah the main reason i tweeted this is bc she's *still* the front runner on predictit and i'm a Kamala Harris "no" bagholder lol

@aquariusacquah i got in on gretchen whitmer "yes" at 1 cent so i'm already calling it a dub

you dont want to admit yang was right about the "legion of builders and destroyers"

Already seeing rose types complain about techies leaving Menlo Park lol. Complain when they come, and twice as hard when they leave

@nectarina12 tbh same, farthest I’ve been from center was when I was a moderate Bernie stan lol

@pelotom imo the driving force behind techie wages is global competition for talent and not just CoL

@discourseloverr Not really, operating in India is a nightmare. there is really no market like China and it does us no benefits to understate the economic disruption a full embargo would cause

@discourseloverr You can see this isn’t true rn as China has total control over medical and pharmaceutical supply chains and the rest of the world has been struggling to get what we need for this pandemic. It’s advantageous to have a trade surplus rather than deficit for that reason

@rickbruner @default_friend Gawker was a genuinely sociopathic organization imo, and Thiel was only able to take them down b.c. they committed actual crimes. Whether the insanely pricey legal system needs reform is a separate question.

@rickbruner @default_friend as far as palantir goes, i'd rather have an outspoken libertarian in charge of government surveillance programs

online gaming is legit miles ahead of actual remote work software

if I’m starting a remote company/team we are def gonna have a discord server

@jomgy Based

tbh it’s v simple; software has always been about finding the right metaphor. This is true at the programming level and also at the UX level. Facebook won because it was 1:1 digital map to real people. Dropbox won by its name alone. Discord wins with its “server->room” metaphor

@thefaceberg The war metaphors are a morphological feature to avoid battle :^)

@Imperial_Eagle2 There is a phenomenological difference between an institution and its members. The Coca Cola company wants profits. Its employees and executives want promotions and fat compensations

@Imperial_Eagle2 But keeping that in mind, yes I agree that “states rights” is revisionism

@MarkORWalsh @theirfanator @jamescartermin1 @Imperial_Eagle2 doesnt make sense tho ... free labor is the worst kind of competition

@Imperial_Eagle2 @MarkORWalsh @theirfanator @jamescartermin1 just to be clear i dont think this at all. the civil war was 100% about slavery. im making a statement about warfare in general and the ideological purity of soldiers

@browserdotsys 🙏

@eigenrobot hmm

@Noahpinion (1) neural networks are strangely good (2) discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe

@Noahpinion I’m going to say also: Higgs boson and gravity waves are cool experimental validations predicted 20th century theories, but they didn’t change the way we view nature. If anything they were a bit boring

@OzAmram @Noahpinion u right, so why was the Nobel granted in 2011?

@Rabadash2 @Noahpinion I’m aware, but there is something to be said about putting the pieces together in the right way. At the least, deep reinforcement learning is brand new

@Imperial_Eagle2 Once again fooled by randomness

@Imperial_Eagle2 Guns Germs and Steel doesn’t claim that these elements are all encompassing — the final chapters are dedicated to other factors, and discrepancies. For example, why China lost to Europe despite having access to the incredible species of the Eurasian landmass

@similaralterity Why not use the free version of LastPass? It does everything I require tbh

@bob_burrough @ID_AA_Carmack not really ... the computational model of spiking neurons is kind of similar to ANNs. Both sum over a linear combination of inputs. One outputs a continuous nonlinear function of this sum, the other creates a spiking probability

@noampomsky the divine is all narratives. religions are passed down as a set of stories, generally orally. when the kids gather round as the village elder tells the stories of animistic spirits, a they feel the thrill of transcendence up their spine

@noampomsky if anything acid and its like make you hyper-narrate everything and find patterns where there was previously nothing

@neolibureaucrat to be a first mover you’ve done something novel

@neolibureaucrat Not really ... creating google was far more socially valuable than subsequently creating bing

@neolibureaucrat lol ... we're talking over each other. of course they're equivalent. maybe bing is even better. but you understand creating novel technologies is different from replicating them. the 0->1 creates more value than the 1->2, and gets correspondingly rewarded.

@neolibureaucrat to be more specific, it's about bringing a new technology to market for the first time, not simply about developing technologies. in many cases first movers don't even win. Facebook was not the first graph-based social network by any means.

@neolibureaucrat if i independently discovered relativity today I would not receive a nobel prize, and for good reason

@trepur349 @DukakisDude @GerEEEEldo space travel is needed even in the short run for military and communications purposes, but forget about that for as econd. you're implying that space travel only fulfills exoteric needs like those for minerals and such. but space travel should be in demand for its own sake

@mordroberon https://x.com/tszzl/status/1264690380873830410?s=20

@swapp19902 look around you and subtract the screens. has anything changed?

@GerEEEEldo @DukakisDude even travel at subluminal speeds opens up whole vistas of possibility at any rate

@GerEEEEldo @DukakisDude since we have no full theory of physics, FTL remains probably impossible. but I have a nagging feeling that the universe is more FUN than we think it is lol

@billpshort my hope is still for biotechnology to take off in an accelerating way

@trepur349 @DukakisDude @GerEEEEldo not to give you the boilerplate elon musk spiel but if human civilization is going to be permanent, it requires investments in offworld self-sustaining colonies, and that's something that should generate its own demand.

@trepur349 @DukakisDude @GerEEEEldo and even more importantly, humanist liberalism needs its own eschatological cult so we don't fall into despair. christians have the rapture, marxists have the overthrow of the bourgeoisie, and I have humanity on a hundred worlds lol

@swapp19902 these are not instances of technological progress, but globalism. they've imported technologies that were already available in developed countries

@Hellachans @what_ntarnation @swapp19902 curing HIV is an interesting one, b/c it's so important but also notes something major about the biotech revolutions of the past 30 odd years -- they're all mostly focused on niche diseases, the so called specialty drug. we haven't, for example, cured cancer

@trepur349 @musclUSA @DukakisDude @GerEEEEldo yeah you would need some novel nanotechnologies for this. you could build it out of nanotubes but we can't really manufacture it in measurable quantities

@GerEEEEldo @DukakisDude yeah this is true and some part of me is praying for that new cold war with China so we can get back on top of this shit

@ElGasparYanga @DukakisDude public funding for the war on cancer as an example turned out pretty poorly, it seems the government has lost the ability to coordinate science funding in effective ways

@kar_nels it's a recent development, but let me point something out -- we've had safe clean energy technology since the mid 60s in the form of nuclear fuels. and yet, most countries are decomissioning their nuclear plants and relying on *more* fossil fuels.

@kar_nels the problem here has always been political and not technological. i'm not sure if solar will the do the trick where nuclear couldn't either

@Teleonomic @swapp19902 in some ways it is, in some ways it isn't. we've seen rapid advances in communications technology and we don't have too much to show for it in productivity growth, automation, science output, etc

@Hellachans @what_ntarnation @swapp19902 yeah maybe cancer is not the best example, but something like radical life extension technology would be something that helps everyone rather than a small subset of people

@musclUSA @swapp19902 the *price* of flying has changed. flying is more or less the same tho since the mid century

@powerbottomdad1 right, but he mentions the faster smaller computers. what about everything else? and yeah i mostly echo peter thiel's sentiments on this topic

@GerEEEEldo @Hellachans @trepur349 @DukakisDude the important thing is that civilization ending events are unpredictable and they're in the category of "unknown unknowns". i wouldn't want us to die without an insurance policy

@musclUSA @swapp19902 yes, you're right. the logistics of flying has changed, people's incomes have grown, all of which has led to more people flying. but my point is that airplanes run on similar technology to what they did 20-30 years ago, now with better flight computers

@kar_nels the amount of batteries you need to make solar&wind viable as a primary energy source is generally a pipe dream, even with the current cost curve of lithium ion

@powerbottomdad1 spacex and tesla are exceptions that prove the rule imo

@powerbottomdad1 it seems like we've made all these crazy advances in communications technologies ... but where are the downstream effects? where is the huge increase in output from globalized science? where is the insane labor productivity growth from automation? it's just not happening

@trepur349 @DukakisDude @GerEEEEldo @Hellachans the space program had tons of downstream benefits here on Earth

@trepur349 @DukakisDude @GerEEEEldo @Hellachans lol i sincerely doubt any analysis of this kind — people aren’t robots ya know? If you put them to work for a worthy cause, they’ll work harder than they need to in order to move the heavens and earth

Remembering Leonard susskind dismissing the black hole “firewall theory” saying “the universe is more interesting than that”

You can see the slowdown in actual macroeconomic indicators but ppl continually invent epicycles to explain their way around it https://x.com/yhdistyminen/status/1264714078414667778

@koaleszenz People often say things like, what if newton spent 100% of his time dedicated to physics instead of 90% of it on esoteric theology, but imo that’s a grave error. Greatness & genius is always idiosyncratic. Humans aren’t robots or compute engines

@koaleszenz The other 90% was required for his special contributions to the world. Perhaps if he wasn’t such a pious man, he wouldn’t even have cared about the mechanisms of Creation

@Imperial_Eagle2 I haven’t but I’ve gotten the summary from multiple sources

@Teleonomic the downstream effects have certainly been felt

@anti_stokes @koaleszenz When did Keynes have time to be a science historian while he invented macro Econ lol?

@VinceNeoliberal What have we done with crispr?

@VinceNeoliberal Have we done anything life changing with CRISPR?

@gullfire_ they don’t take roko’s basilisk seriously lol. This is clear from the fact that Yud spends his days actively trying to slow down the progress of strong AI

@discourseloverr you’re goddamn right

@Imperial_Eagle2 lol If you listen to any smart libertarian at all you’d see they aren’t autistically focused on private roads but just want to legalize housing

@aquariusacquah honestly Omar's thing reads to me as some cringey liberal feminism about yaskweening Thatcher regardless of ideological disagreement

@Imperial_Eagle2 for example Brian Caplan or Tyler Cowen provide a good model for what libertarianism looks like today (hint, both want freer immigration and neither care too much about privatized roads)

@selentelechia @eigenrobot best to dismiss these things with tautological bullshit to preserve sanity “Well why is nothing privileged over something 😏”

@ResonantPyre where is this from?

@awilkinson This is speaking with the benefit of hindsight bias. There was no guarantee of instagram’s success, especially at the scale it achieved over the last decade. At the time the journos were calling it an idiotic move on zuck’s part and evidence of a tech bubble

@awilkinson You also have to consider the post valuation of Instagram vs the pre. A social network is a lot more likely to grow and thrive if it’s allowed to mooch from Big Blue

I firmly reject this midwit psychoanalytical framing of emotional development. Freud and his psych buddies invented this shit to rob you blind

there’s a certain kind of secular religion that frames emotional development as it’s own weird kind of game with desired outcomes and a linear pathway to victory. It comes filled with fake epiphanies and an eschatological frame of personal enlightenment.

There is no such thing. Greatness is always idiosyncratic. pursue it in your own way

there are too many things Happening, and Happeningness is increasing all the damn time. Like, do you realize the internal politics of the Saudi oil princes effect the price of our Uber rides??

@Hellachans the market doesn't only price in currently available information, but is actually omniscient and accesses all future information too

@NeoLibBen >he fell for MBS's "reforms" meme this is the shittiest trick in the dictator's handbook to get in the good graces of the liberal West and we fall for it every time. I remember the good old days of Assad Jr's democratic & humanitarian "reform" campaign

@Hellachans the yield curve literally predicted coronavirus

@NeoLibBen being a SA realist is different than boosting them and calling them good lol

you don't want to admit that yield curve inverted, and then engineered coronavirus to make its prediction retroactively true as predicted by @0x49fa98 https://zerohplovecraft.wordpress.com/2018/05/11/the-gig-economy-2/

@jachaseyoung they'll likely hit a diminishing return curve on this particular architecture, but what is the upper limit of all possible NN archs? Feel like GPT-10 will be very smart indeed

@aquariusacquah everybody wants to make science happen from dogshit data tbh so they just hire statisticians

@jachaseyoung it seems we're closer to comprehension than we are to true natural language generation. if you look at the tasks performed in the paper, some involved reading a paragraph and answering questions about it and GPT-3 passes with flying colors

@jachaseyoung a super impressive version of this would put us all out of jobs. after all, programming is probably easier than making good writing

@Nathani02617995 @aquariusacquah all these tech dudes will normally simp for Uber but all of a sudden its unprofitable and dying when someone wants to regulate it / tax it

@jachaseyoung there would definitely be a shortfall of compute power, which means that many of us will still have jobs. it's the simple Ricardian trade principle. If country x (AI) performs everything better than country y (humans), both countries can have mutually profitable trade

interesting

@GerEEEEldo https://twopcharts.com/

@BenjaminGCox yep

@_djpn both

i hate this chart for outing me as a @Noahpinion reply guy

@jachaseyoung maybe we're 100x worse at writing code but only 10x worse at writing poems ... time to read some Frost and get cracking

@eigenrobot confirmed eigenrobot can read my mind and knows what i'm thinking

hate to take a Side but my hot consequentialist take is that rioting might be good despite property damage if it results in the decrease of police power in any way at all if prosecutors are distinctly aware of the riot risk, will they be more willing to prosecute cops?

@powerbottomdad1 yeah I don’t have a good mental model for this stuff

has anything positive happened in the aftermath of prior riots?

@jachaseyoung seems close to comprehension https://x.com/powerbottomdad1/status/1266199927824228352?s=21 https://x.com/powerbottomdad1/status/1266199927824228352

@powerbottomdad1 @jachaseyoung so this is a human answer?

@ahardtospell RIP I’m gonna become an @ahardtospell reply guy

@powerbottomdad1 true but I’m particularly bullish on medical imaging tech

oh fucking shit https://x.com/swapp19902/status/1266267260143861761

@OldDreyfusard folks tend to die in riots

@eigenrobot @visakanv it just gives him something to complain about, it’s kinda toothless

@ihtsae @GerEEEEldo yeah I impulse bought it like a moron

@similaralterity NOTHING TO SEE HERE

@koaleszenz lmao what game is this

what we're fighting for: a humanity that has conquered Death and lives on a 100 worlds in a 100 star systems

@koaleszenz is 'coring' it the same concept as 'razing' in the civ games?

@man_ditch not like this. private space usually just meant being NASA's bitch with no actual grand challenges of engineering. you just build the parts they want you to build to the exact specs they want you to build them at

@eigenrobot @halvorz fool of a Took

it's true but let's not pretend NASA's work in spaceflight didn't get us most of the way to the cost performance curves that SpaceX is able to operate on. Propulsive vertical landing was the key missing ingredient https://x.com/PSouls2/status/1266816736407552001

@StephenBuell2 it’s also got a lot to do with SpaceX’s tech company esque willingness to use simple consumer grade hardware instead of having lots of custom built chips

absolute madmen programming rockets in nodejs https://x.com/steeevg/status/1266858642155831298

@similaralterity didnt catch it if so

@sonyasupposedly don't want to minimize the harms but the ancient Hindus and Schumpeter both understood that creation is the flipside of destruction -- we are coming out of an era of unprecedentedly bad governance, and there will be destruction before we can rebuild again

whoda thought https://x.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1266879497355309057

a certain someone was correct in his covid article — we don’t have a government in america, we have a free trade zone of competent companies and little else

@Imperial_Eagle2 it ain’t good. it’s a curse that befalls the bureaucracies of all advanced states

@_vivalapanda nothing is irreversible, but i think there’ll be a period of destruction before rebuilding is possible

@selentelechia usually ppl seem overly sure of their explanations which is enough to get the blood boiling

@andrej_haulis truly cursed

@sonyasupposedly pleasantly surprised by his take(s) on this lol

@Imperial_Eagle2 I don’t think that’s a subsidy so much as it is a government purchase. But, it’s fair to say SpaceX wouldn’t be around nasa

@Imperial_Eagle2 I hope you realize though, the state did everything it could to avoid innovation. DoD tried to continue buying launch service from Boeing (corruption) even though it costed many times more. SpaceX actually had to sue the government into accepting their contracts

@Imperial_Eagle2 Suffice to say, the US space effort of 2020 is much worse than the space effort of 1970

@RIPAOCummies come again?

@marthsshinedair it is an exaggeration that demonstrates a truth -- they are feckless

@AOCummies they were all homosexual

@aquariusacquah @AOCummies gotta take a T break every now and then

just absolutely heartwarming to see nytimes wreck itself like this after the journos shed so many crocodile tears about facebook's decision just a few days earlier

and they dont stop coming

@jaydavidmartin1 yeh

@aquariusacquah the journos are demanding liberation and freedom

Trump's posts are TOO DANGEROUS to be left up on facebook https://x.com/CNLiberalism/status/1268365447919030272

@RIPAOCummies "New: $62M (2020), Reused: approximately $50M (2019)," I think they started pricing aggressively in 2016 assuming the whole propulsive landing thing would work out

@RIPAOCummies why wouldn't they break even? Even consider a couple billion dollars in R&D, they now have an effective monopoly at this price point and launch cadence

@RIPAOCummies https://spacenews.com/spacex-targeting-24-hour-turnaround-in-2019-full-reusability-still-in-the-works/ Musk said SpaceX lowered prices from “about $60 million to about $50 million for a reflown booster,” and expects “to see a steady reduction in prices” going forward.

@RIPAOCummies I don't quite understand the argument though, because reusability R&D is a fixed cost that will potentially reduce costs permanently. why would you grade it on a per rocket basis?

@RIPAOCummies i.e. say my rocket launch costs $50 million and I sell it for $60 million. I invest $1billion to bring the costs down by $10m per launch. over 100 launches i've made my money back, is that not the case?

@RIPAOCummies The time to recoupment may change based on how durable the booster actually is, but that's a separate question

@RIPAOCummies What % of total cost do you think all of this is?

@peaktransit extremely based and freespeechpilled

@powerbottomdad1 https://x.com/DavidRutz/status/1268355078383075328?s=20

@marthsshinedair what i was referencing. he says it better than i can. our government is largely a set of directionless cronies https://medium.com/@curtis.yarvin/plan-a-for-the-coronavirus-7db3997490c1

@marthsshinedair he makes some valid criticisms of our way of government, and the total incompetence with which the coronavirus situation has been handled. attacking him as alt right is not an argument

@JacksonKernion little bit of column A, little bit of column B NYTimes are tremendous hypocrites, and twitter's "light touching" is imo useless, probably boosted his post far more than if they had left it alone

@eigenrobot the man is everywhere at once https://x.com/ahardtospell/status/1217220155043930112

@marthsshinedair imho it is absolutely clear our government is undergoing a legitimacy crisis rn due to a cascading set of failures. the stuff about how "this is a joke to anyone who has gotten anything done ever" really does hit hard. we stopped demanding competence from govt long ago

@djmicrobeads @sm0b0t @similaralterity @browserdotsys honestly hilarious and exactly what i expect from twitter engineering

@powerbottomdad1 it just hits way way different to troll professional class midwits

@eigenrobot u could change history rn with a tactical hate crime

@alth0u @eigenrobot yup, that too

giving up and googling “Obama best comebacks compilation”

"lived experience" is the platonic ideal of ingroup signaling, it means exactly the same shit as "experience" but it also implies that you're woke

@eigenrobot my goal is to experience as much as possible while living as little as possible

@peaktransit SMH have you even seen our Great Lakes

@Find45sdealer people carry a bit of 5g with them in they pockets

we’ve now reached the “giving up” stage of pandemic control

we don’t have a government in the us

@powerbottomdad1 I don’t think it’s that — the lockdowns just aren’t feasible for too long. At best, they were a stopgap measure for test and trace efforts to ramp up, which never happened

@_vivalapanda yep

@OldDreyfusard Are there any receipts?

@bshep0909 @OldDreyfusard i love a good twitter unmasking

@similaralterity if you want RL theory, can't beat the classic Sutton and Barto. if you want modern Deep RL stuff, you mostly have to piece it together from a handful of blogs and research papers. BAIR has a lot of good stuff, as do Deepmind and OpenAI.

@similaralterity here are 2 disagreeing blog posts that give a good overview with a lot of nice citations https://tesslerc.github.io/posts/drl_works_now_what/ https://www.alexirpan.com/2018/02/14/rl-hard.html

@eigenrobot many people i know seem to have esoteric, idiosyncratic health problems that detract from their quality of life moreso than any structural issues

@eigenrobot as a diaspora indian i've been rebelling during my formative years against cultural forces that aren't even relevant to me. why did I even care abt the 2000s internets' criticism of judeo-christian faiths? still dont know

@eigenrobot neither the eastern nor western faiths seem to sit right in my mind, as someone raised in equal part by hindus and by western civilization

@eigenrobot and the last thing is the strange co-opting of social justice mores by fellow second generation Asian-Americans, generally extremely high class folks who find the language of american progressives profitable to them

@eigenrobot jk ima keep going -- there is something about the experience of growing up on the internet that nobody has managed to capture very well, maybe outside of a couple of animes

@alth0u @eigenrobot the high priests (saira rao) eg are surely grifters but most others just want a story to be a part of

corollary: everyone who grew up on the internet is too wired to ever sit down and do the self reflection it would take to explain it well https://x.com/tszzl/status/1269771843566780418

@aquariusacquah Yep, I was thinking of NHK and serial experiments lain. Maybe a bit of Eva. The Japanese discovered the social atomization of 2000s America long ago

@neolibureaucrat Yeah I agr

The only point of dark matter is as an entry point for science fiction writers to insert whatever bullshit they want into their world

@GerEEEEldo Or the infinite variations of “dark matter is alive”

@GerEEEEldo Seems accurate

@AOCummies realistically tho i feel like there’s a price — the more offensive your tweet it is the better it has to be before you hit send

@AOCummies I’d hesitate to tweet some garbage if it’s also going to piss everyone off and lose me followers

@GerEEEEldo did it taste like bubblegum

@neolibureaucrat Include some maga hashtags next time and it’ll go through the roof
