@GlobalPandaemic @AOCummies @emmataiko i'll give you the real secret. follow everyone and unfollow those who dont follow back. rinse and repeat

@noahopinion @GlobalPandaemic @AOCummies @emmataiko yeah i dont really do this anymore lol

@KarlMaeser its a good point tho. there will be some co-evolution between competing AIs

im already having premonitions of what life in big tech is gonna be like in a year. you tell your bosses you're remote working out of your apartment in SF. get a PO box or something to prove it. then move to guatamala where you buy a 100 acre ranch with your 400k salary

TFW zuck hires bounty hunters to track employees down and see where they're actually living

@Hellachans buddy, i'm doing that right now

@discourseloverr it's normed to the population, so it's a real measure of how *unique* one's level of intelligence is. but imho there's massive nonlinear gains at the high levels vs from 80 to 100

@discourseloverr in other words, there are exactly as many people between 60-100 as there are between 100-160 but u prlly already knew that

@powerbottomdad1 truu gonna be great waking up at 9:30 pm india time to pretend it's morning in SF

@import_jerbear @discourseloverr @Dans3rdAttempt i don't know much about psychometrics research but my understanding is that IQ is highly "g loaded" and therefore very good at approximating a person's skill in every subject

@import_jerbear @discourseloverr @Dans3rdAttempt "The existence of the g factor was originally proposed by the English psychologist Charles Spearman in the early years of the 20th century. He observed that children's performance ratings, across seemingly unrelated school subjects, ..."

@import_jerbear @discourseloverr @Dans3rdAttempt "...were positively correlated, and reasoned that these correlations reflected the influence of an underlying general mental ability that entered into performance on all kinds of mental tests.

@import_jerbear @discourseloverr @Dans3rdAttempt HOWEVER https://x.com/tszzl/status/1273683409517322240?s=20

@JonMIPol Iconic

@browserdotsys memes

give me some scifi recs folks, i don't want to just reread Dune again

@browserdotsys exactly

@eigenrobot its great but i dont think i ever got to Endymion is it worth?

@apoorvasriniva1 its a great one, iconic last line

@_vivalapanda no, looks interesting

@halvorz i need to work my attention span way back up to read Stephenson stuff, I think I'll download Blindsight tho. been meaning to read it. were either of the latter altered carbon books good?

@petergodofsky @halvorz @eigenrobot imho Hyperion is good but like ... generically good. it tries to do a lot of things and doesn't do any of them better than other novels. really like Dan Simmons' Ilium actually precisely bc its so bizarre and unique

@_AlastairX_ lol

@JohnCarltonKing ive watched the expanse, is it worth also reading the books?

@blamelessjay holy moly

@whoevennos @gregeganSF one of my absolute faves

@ryamcdoogle ive actually not read any Vonnegut, good suggestion

@pacinocchio https://x.com/ylecun/status/1274782757907030016

@hotdogontology @MorlockP @robkroese tyty

@aquariusacquah @pacinocchio this 100% makes sense for tasks like risk approximation, fraud mitigation, etc and 100% does not make sense for visual tasks -- the features are completely self learned by the conv nets & the model is biased toward one thing only: finding cartesian spatial patterns

@aquariusacquah @pacinocchio there is only one avenue for bias to enter such a task and it's in the train set, eval set, test set. FlickrFace is pretty diverse, but clearly not diverse enough

@import_jerbear my favorite part of any such encounter is when people lecture you on how exactly to apologize and then tear you apart that it wasn't good enough when you do

@aquariusacquah @pacinocchio and I consider the potential reweighting of loss func to cater to minority cases as a data problem as well

@orthigonian lol at this point i basically have an allergic aversion to a handful of words and phrases employed by critical theory types, my eyes start to glaze

was never about the science

@import_jerbear @aquariusacquah @pacinocchio none of these results seem remarkably better than the viral one, most seem worse but ya it seems also that the one everyone is complaining about is based on a single inference sample, maybe could be much more accurate with more searching idk

@import_jerbear @aquariusacquah @pacinocchio also i'm not sure if the social justice spirit is in the right place lol. im happy to have some police cam footage of me upsampled into a white face

@ChrisCroy @JohnCarltonKing lol, wasn’t a huge fan of the show honestly so will probably stay away from the books

I regret to inform you I will he ignoring all of this and re reading Dune

@Cullen_OK you've probably already thought of this stuff but, I feel "customers/labor union AIs" are highly valuable and likely will be underproduced by the market https://x.com/tszzl/status/1276079594462986241?s=20

@Cullen_OK also this is an absolutely fascinating company/app: https://donotpay.com/ but i fail to see it monetizing if it wants to maintain the right incentives. also afraid of it going the way of the adblockers and working out contracts with companies to give them a backdoor

@Cullen_OK I used this this to auto magically cancel my Comcast and NYTimes subscriptions and am still in awe

@BonbonFork @hotdogontology @simplic10 @MorlockP @robkroese i've read part of it and stopped actually. Egan is one of my favorite authors but there was a point where I just didn't understand what Egan was going for and I had to stop until I figured it out (which I never did lol)

@BonbonFork @hotdogontology @simplic10 @MorlockP @robkroese it was the part where he discretizes the subjective experiences of his avatar and runs them out of order ... did not make sense to me from a software perspective. don't you need to have prerun the forward simulation linearly in order to arrive at these subjective states?

@BonbonFork @hotdogontology @simplic10 @MorlockP @robkroese in other words, you have the discrete world state at s_0 and you can compute it forward to s_1, and then to s_2, etc. AFAICT there's no other way to run simulations. Is it meaningful to "run them out of order" if we've pre-calculated the forward progression of states?

@jeff82874662 still mad at myself for impulse buying DADOES? and ending up with the graphic novel version

@BonbonFork @pelotom 3BP is fun but wasn't intensely compelling or anything. the language of the book is not great and i'm thinking 3BP loses something in translation

@jeff82874662 forgive my shitty acronym, i just meant Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

regarding the results on PULSE face generation. The results are sampled from StyleGAN trained on FlickrFaceHQ, which has independently been shown to bias towards white faces. Since PULSE is a downstream method, it makes sense that it should show similar biases

and just taking a random sample from FFHQ ... these percent breakdowns seem exactly right for this dataset. (i'm guessing roughly 80% of flickr users are white)

@PeetoDuss very bullish

i'm very seriously thinking that the model is really confused by barack obama since he's mixed race. it's just guessing that he's just a tanned white dude. will play around with PULSE in a bit to see if I'm right https://x.com/jonny_sunrise/status/1276976524063727616?s=20

if you *really* wanted to nail this down, you'd have to figure out a way to give the GAN a racial geometric prior and place mixed race people somewhere in between "white" and "black" clusters in the latent space etc, although this seems subtly phrenological lol

@jonny_sunrise broke: raceblind facial prior woke: make the model racist

@swapp19902 @ylecun Exactly

update: this shit really fuckin sucks at nonwhite faces lol. like much worse than i would've thought

the so called "natural face manifold" the authors talk about in the paper is really just the "white face manifold" lol. this is a much more serious deficiency than the authors make it out to be

@nasgyc We regret to inform you the AI is racist

If I turn the acceptable error down, the search just fails entirely.

@oldvillagesage probably

@oldvillagesage yeah, it should clearly be able to handle different facial clusters. after all, it's pretty good at distinguishing men and women so no reason it can't do race w sufficient/balanced data

@alth0u yup

@alth0u only bc of the power of suggestion of what the AI gave you imho pretty easy to tell the downsampled face is asian without the AI superresolution right by it

@browserdotsys i always stymy an insane urge to defend GPT-3 to its haters and to disparage it to its supporters

@orbuch very hard to actually adjust for carbon prices at the border especially given unreliable reporting in poor countries

@orbuch the issue is that domestic carbon intensive industries would not be able to compete on foreign markets — we would end up buying all of our steel abroad if we don’t adjust it at the border to include the carbon price

@orbuch in that way we end up offshoring carbon emission instead of reducing them without the comprehensive export/import policy

@gbrl_dick @orbuch There are good legal arguments that WTO allows adjustments ‘Hillman concluded that both the letter and spirit of WTO trade rules permit countries with carbon taxes to adopt “non-discriminatory harmonizing tariffs.” ‘

@gbrl_dick @orbuch Yeah you seem better read on WTO conflicts than I. Overall bullish on carbon trade zones but will require upfront international legislation to standardize imho

@gbrl_dick @orbuch I think a smart precedent to set would be simply ask to join the EU ETS and harmonize the carbon markets. Carbon permits could be traded across borders straightforwardly

@DrewliganLul @AOCummies just absurd

@MiloJKing i also don't quite believe his 'confession' either. the mask guidelines were in place long before there was any kind of shortage, implying that the CDC just *hadn't thought about it* which might be even worse

@PeetoDuss radicalized meaning catapulted outside of the normal political spectrum

@mazuretsky honestly at least they admitted it

@besttrousers @JohnCarltonKing this is the most transparent gaslighting i have ever seen lol there was no new information. the *absolute best case* that you could make is that they were nobly lying to protect healthcare workers as Fauci claimed

@GreySmithereens i was previously under the assumption that, in the two party system of government, one of the parties had gone to shit. i now think that the rot is pervasive and bone deep on both sides. it made me more sensitive to blue tribe hypocrisies

btw talking about 'new evidence of asymptomatic spread' is puro de gaslighting (1) your prior should have been that asymptomatic spread was likely given the alarming R0 of the virus and relationship with SARS-1 (2) masks are obviously effective even against symptomatic spread

low latency satellite internet will legitimately be a game changer for rural broadband + decentralization https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/1277759266598932480

@TenCentPistol9 @Azazeled The bandwidth is not the major concern as it can always be improved by densifying the satellite array; the latency is the prime concern. Elon is promising sub 20 ms latency which would be a tremendous game changer

hmm ... I wish I had a program for monitoring which of my followees I least interact with so I could easily stay under the 5000

@amadeusine @browserdotsys In the future we will query GPT-10 trained on the XKCD corpus to generate one of these for whatever scenario ur in

hmmm it gets more interesting StyleGAN itself is quite capable at generating nonwhite faces

so it really comes down to PULSE being a flawed search method of the StyleGAN latent space

@shill_globalist @stefan_arrr uh so ban whoever is doing the credible threats rather than the whole subreddit

@nate_bronze you’ve not understood Ol Man Teddy’s argument at all

anti natalists, pls explain yourself

@ModLibChip why?

@neolibreplygirl hmm can you elaborate?

@ModLibChip “Solve the birth rate”? No clue what you mean. And of course, someone else in another country is always making the financial investments to raise a child when you accept an immigrant.

@neolibreplygirl so I’m guessing you mean fewer serfs equals higher wages but we are not feudalists anymore. More people = more ideas = more innovation. I also thing this argument is too utilitarian or not utilitarian enough but I can’t put my finger on it

@ModLibChip So you’re an anti natalist for Americans only? lol seems hypocritical

@neolibreplygirl You can erase a child’s carbon footprint for a few grand, it’s literally nothing compared to what we spend on them on public education alone

@neolibreplygirl not to mention I find it funny that libs will generally roast Malthusians but then adopt their arguments when it comes to atmospheric sink capacity.

@ModLibChip what happens when all countries reach some level of development?

@ModLibChip do you think policy can really effect birth rate that much? i.e. China’s one child policy was a pretty big disaster

@marathiMaharaja if we lived in a smaller, better-run country my opinion might be different. but we live in the US, where the cdc told us that masks don't work for the first 1.5+ months of the pandemic

@harridanechoes @DanielTabakman @Meraxion @robinhanson moving power from the sun to earth doesn't sound like a very lucrative or monopoly industry. just commodities. now as then, the richest companies will be the ones in control of creative monopolies a la Google, Facebook, Apple, etc

@harridanechoes @DanielTabakman @Meraxion @robinhanson space based solar power in general doesn't sound very attractive and since we're talking about scifi power sources, why not just have nice clean nuclear fusion at home?

@harridanechoes @DanielTabakman @Meraxion @robinhanson i.e. are the richest people the folks who own the servers or the people running software on the servers? in our world, it's clearly the latter. the facebooks and googles of the future will build their own solar compute clusters, bc why not

@AOCummies CHAZ's only mistake was closing down

the expectations for data science varies a lot from major tech companies to non tech companies. there is not going be a single manager at FAANG that's impressed because you know what backpropagation is https://ryxcommar.com/2020/07/04/retrospective-on-on-moving-from-statistics-to-machine-learning/

@aquariusacquah yeah i don't want to read too much into it but he seems pretty insecure abt it

@AOCummies Kanye will win the state of Florida

yes, PMC white woman on Instagram explaining why July 4th is actually bad, u r very transgressive and edgy

@MiloJKing PMCs rebelling against the Cathedral

@The_Geraldoid Professional managerial class

@DanielTabakman @harridanechoes @Meraxion @robinhanson you’re the one that brought it up mate Can’t say it’s too early now lol

@browserdotsys hits completely different honestly

@maxdunat all land is stolen!!!1!1!

the euros stole this land from the natives, who spent millenia stealing from each other before first stealing it from all the north american megafauna they wiped out, who stole it from the dinosaurs,

@jachaseyoung my ""friends"" were telling me i looked about twelve years old in the previous one so here we are

the usual response to this observation is to say that land should be democratically owned, which is exactly as dumb and unfounded as all the other things there's only one solution https://x.com/eigenrobot/status/1219728048427167744

@ChrisCroy yes,,, this is why the dinosaurs must be reinstated to their rightful throne of the Entire World

@nectarina12 sign me up 🙄

@aquariusacquah land value tax on data centers only 🙄

@oldvillagesage @marathiMaharaja wouldn't you like to know

@oldvillagesage @marathiMaharaja yes

@nectarina12 btw drop the lat/long google maps pin 😌

@eigenrobot wtf they should do this every year

@Teleonomic Tyty

@jdcmedlock i think back to this cursed tweet nearly every day

@UnhWut dont remember at this point

@browserdotsys lol what other choices did u want

@Nikhil87539319 @browserdotsys right but I think the question was about a one off prisoners dilemma, in which cases the only relevant choices are defect and cooperate

@gigafelon @Nikhil87539319 @browserdotsys the mental cost on aggregate is too high for changing pfp

@Noahpinion @mark_dow nah mate your takes have gotten worse

@Noahpinion Never mind your takes are good again

@0x49fa98 @sonyasupposedly the only good tech “reporter” since it’s actually tech he cares about and not adjacent soapboxing

@halvorz @quthbert Had a similar experience with acid Total destruction of pattern recognition / meaning-making

@DukakisDude this is fvcking outrageous where tf is America

@discourseloverr stopped reading trashy pop nonfiction for the last two years and I feel myself getting smarter

@discourseloverr no more Bill Gates reading list

@jhpark06_ @BarryYourFriend @AOCummies rookie move

@NKel26 economics is a softer than astrology

@gelliottmorris cowards

@NicholasElodeon everybody on this site is extremely high on “openness to new experience” i.e. slutty so you’ll have to look elsewhere for people that answer no

they call this the Yeezy Boost https://x.com/TheStalwart/status/1279912132486860800

@sonyasupposedly absolutely invaluable experience to have a major confirmation of your gut instinct

@AOCummies FUCCCCC

@selentelechia this is really messed up of him Bc he didn’t even install gentoo

@selentelechia no but srs that’s so sociopathic wtf I learned to program on a gd MacBook

volcels end up being like either Newton or Ted Kaczynski, there's no in between

@DaanVanDenHam2 yes

@lolitsnotreal_ @TurboRational @eigenrobot @Laconoclasm @browserdotsys @RealSexyCyborg

1) spend saudi blood money to give out free/underpriced shit to millennial yuppies longer than the competitors can 2) acquire all the competitors https://x.com/business/status/1279963384398721034

@neolibreplygirl IVC?

@NeoLibBen @maxdunat not necessarily this is bad or wrong, just pointing out the strategy when companies like uber and lyft offer essentially the same exact product the only way to compete is outspend each other on growth and acquire whole markets

@eigenrobot The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to

@AOCummies through some eldritch horrors, some parts of the sausage are magically turned into cheese

interesting can someone get elon to fuck some journos up, the thing he does best

@scolarlyoutcast agreed, two sides of the same coin

@webdevMason im sure everyone in the cs department was watching their lectures online anyways

@halvorz lindy college recipe

@sonyasupposedly !! normalize using college acceptance as a credential on its own !!

@aquariusacquah multi-armed grifter

honestly unfollow me rn if u believe in the germ theory of disease

typical paper-pushing "IYIs" dont understand that villainous miasmas have caused the recent plague

@JustJoshinYou13 very true, quite clear by occam's razor

@nabeelqu “cheering for the death of the university” is not really it, is more like “the university system are fatally wounded, put it out of its misery and start fresh”

@averyfjames @nabeelqu thus the OP’s confusion with long term alignment

@aquariusacquah bruh unironically just message the acceptance letters to recruiters and beg them to let u in

@averyfjames @nabeelqu potential energy is released. thousand schools of thought contend. better solutions are found, etc. it's possible the coming system is worse than the current one but I don't see any guarantee that it would turn out to be OP's dystopia scenario either. i'm bullish, he's bearish

@nabeelqu @averyfjames you don't really need billionaires to start new colleges. they don't have the time or imagination. exciting things are happening everywhere. bit of a meme at this point but I like @LambdaSchool a lot

what i think when i hear "multi armed bandit"

what kind of next level cringe is this https://x.com/datarade/status/1280282436623044609

@Teleonomic lol try and find a single non American college on this list

@Teleonomic nvm France and England both get a point each but still -- IITers are completely delusional

the IIT into American MBA pipeline seems very good at producing peacetime CEOs (Pichai, Nadella) but not very many founders.

@earlofwallst ya doesnt make sense

@alth0u brutal

@alth0u i've met a few IIT grads at {BigTechCo} and they've all been v smart, but no smarter than the top people from US colleges, Tsinghua, etc.

@alth0u lmao

@thee_snek @MASmartJr @AOCummies he's a Philosopher of Common Sense

why aren't we hard wired for memetic exogamy

@ProfitProfound did you marry someone you disagree with on everything?

@ne0agent1c homeostasis of culture is maintained in equal part by reactionary and novelty seeking tendencies in individuals of the population

@royimous @goblinodds @nabeelqu less and less these days

@royimous @goblinodds @nabeelqu I think gdp growth or labor productivity growth is the best metric for advances in technology, and both are stagnant in developed countries

@royimous @goblinodds @nabeelqu also, qualitatively: https://x.com/tszzl/status/1251730572428394497?s=21 https://x.com/tszzl/status/1251730572428394497

@royimous @goblinodds @nabeelqu number of journal publications is quite an awful metric — the outputs are far more useful for measuring innovation than inputs. Labor productivity, for example, is not tied to number of jobs

@royimous @goblinodds @nabeelqu Nah idts A paper is not a quantum of progress. Often times they’re incremental or repetitive. There can be papers that change the world and papers that do nothing at all — should measure in terms of sustained improvements to economy

@royimous @goblinodds @nabeelqu I will say there has not been a major advancement in theoretical physics since maldacena duality in 1997, as one example

@NicholasElodeon @maxdunat seething

@eigenrobot @AureliuszKleks they probably have like 3 different tiktok clones in testing at any given time lol

@PonderAndReason @robinhanson @paulg GDP is a flow, wealth is a stock, etc There’s far more than $75 trillion in wealth out there

lbr he probably raises the market value of these shoes by wearing them https://x.com/ThatGirl_Chiz/status/1279783571880914944

@WilliamGrobman could say something similar about race and outmarriage

@QiaochuYuan spot on with my two favorite YA series :)

@QiaochuYuan reread HDM recently and ... wow ... the grief at the end, it's like a ton of bricks. maybe as you grow older the only powerful emotions are strong memories of old emotions but jeez, i was nonfunctional for a day

@eigenrobot @alth0u @paul_hundred https://x.com/nntaleb/status/1280161596715696129?s=21 https://x.com/nntaleb/status/1280161596715696129

twitter thank u for clarifying this,,,,

@ne0liberal NeolibRX

@forbca at least you get me, aristippus

bros it’s “sweetie” not “sweatie” im reading this shit and thinking about perspiration

@partlypol oh didn’t realize it was a joke lol

@MorlockP the complaint isn’t that this is a painful death It’s the fact that it’s industrialized death on a massive scale. Sane people can’t look upon millions of cute little baby chicks falling to their death and feel alright with it

@MorlockP granted I don’t care enough to do anything about it, or stop eating meat😔 but I do think this is a legitimate complaint

can't help but feel MattY is a/b testing new grifts like @aquariusacquah https://x.com/CaesarSalad99/status/1280930429835440128

@jdcmedlock And that’s why it sucks in the US 😎

@jdcmedlock I’m just being flippant but civic technology in the US seems exceptionally bad

@hotdogontology @MorlockP not even the slightest discomfort?

you have to leverage the refractory period after extreme cancellation events to say all kinds of fucked up shit during this time everyone is too sated to cancel you

@hotdogontology @MorlockP I eat meat all the time without remorse, so maybe I’m the one coping rn

@_AlastairX_ sensitive in a bad way

@pelotom the sweet seed of moral satisfaction will flood the lands

@alth0u @ProfitProfound the facebook ad bidding systems work like this. your ad placements become cheaper if they're high engagement

@alth0u @ProfitProfound and yet i find that twitter absolutely sucks at what they do and they're also a menace so who knows

@powerbottomdad1 absolutely fire

@AOCummies they’re not insane they’re just 14 years old

@AOCummies same thing haha

Kanye-Elon afrofuturism when? https://x.com/palladiummag/status/1280991742137753600

@kpopobama i literally searched through his tweets for any that might have 14 words lmao

@The_Geraldoid extremely based

interesting number of likes ......

yes ... i learned everything i know about the world from martin shkreli finance videos at the age of 18 ... what of it ?

please god i miss him so much @realDonaldTrump pardon him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7uMwQ912fI

@aquariusacquah u have a Pharm.D. ... i've watched 2000 hours of Shkreli orgo lectures ... we 🙏are🙏 not🙏 the 🙏same

tfw Facebook’s TikTok clone “BeepBoop” hits 1 billion users in a month of uptime

@man_ditch wtf do u work for a scifi dystopian tech co

@man_ditch the bathroom is too picturesque for it to be otherwise

@AOCummies report back to me w ur findings

@gigafelon @man_ditch my companies' bathrooms are extremely cursed. the walls are filled with tech tips and suggestions on how to use various internal tools lol

WTF https://roonlabs.com/

@powerbottomdad1 yeah you're right it's more like 90%

@replicaofself yes,,

@powerbottomdad1 no matter how good you are the blackpill is that theres always someone better have to find satisfaction a different way tbqh

@powerbottomdad1 idk dude adequate and competent is a receding goal line. the better you do the more shit they give you to do until you either fail or retire into some comfy grandfathered position

@powerbottomdad1 the real goal in this industry is to create some abstruse & disgusting system that only you understand so they can't get rid of you lol

keynes is overrated i will not be explaining further

@gbrl_dick that much is true

@powerbottomdad1 @eigenrobot i will always career boost a talented shitposter

@powerbottomdad1 @eigenrobot one of these days i hope to a have a take hot enough that balaji gives me a VC job

@powerbottomdad1 @eigenrobot it's bound to happen eventually monkeys at typewriters and all that

@powerbottomdad1 @eigenrobot on a separate note this reminds me of my friend who got a job offer by chatting up some random people at line at the Madras Cafe in sunnyvale lmao

@eigenrobot @powerbottomdad1 he sometimes DMs me whenever i talk shit in a tech journos replies lmao same with Palmer Luckey

@eigenrobot @powerbottomdad1 this website is insane

@powerbottomdad1 @eigenrobot extremely based pitch

@powerbottomdad1 @eigenrobot most ppl here are highly paid yuppie professionals who nonetheless spend most of their time trying to make people laugh on twitter dot com

@powerbottomdad1 @eigenrobot yeah i lived right next to it in 2018 and went to get dosas there like every saturday lol and i saw some blue check VCs mentioning it in tweet threads as well such an insular industry even in the Anno Domini 2020

@Noahpinion FLCL or NGE or possibly both

@sidkap_ kinky

@bayes_baes I really don’t know how people read these books and come to that conclusion. 3BP was very critical of the excesses of the cultural revolution and very celebratory of the triumph of science over politics

@bayes_baes One of the main villains of the series is a sympathetic character who’s life is basically a tragedy caused by the CR

@bayes_baes My biggest complaint about this series is that the writing is kind of bad but it’s definitely not an alien morality or anything. You’ll find that lots of Americans value pedigree and education, even if they’re less upfront about social status

@AOCummies gonna be using Drew’s scheduled tweets as an indicator that I’m up too late

what the fvck is the point of blocking people if u still see them in the replies smfh

@AOCummies i swear the algorithm actually boosts people I mute

@browserdotsys >long and tiresome welcome to the new yorker

@browserdotsys i love em for it tho. they've committed so hard to the snootiness bit. they always render the word elite as "élite"

@The_Geraldoid Didn’t know it could be done

@browserdotsys œuf

@eigenrobot @alth0u someone said central dogma?

@AOCummies @NicholasElodeon I read the whole thing what do I win

@Aspiringshill @AOCummies @NicholasElodeon the libs are gonna make me defend Harry Potter aren’t they

@psudonymph @powerbottomdad1 the next lowest element or the next any element?

@LittleKeegs0 On the contrary our disgust sensibility is evolved by biology and culture and therefore proven itself adaptive to both our own survival and the survival of civilization

@psudonymph @powerbottomdad1 using a priority queue probably gets you down to O(N log k) but I’m not sure exactly how

there is no guarantee that global interconnection increases the rate of scientific or technological growth

@willow_liana don't know what this is but imho overly efficient mimesis of ideas slows progress by stifling innovation

@ChrisCroy co evolutionary streams often arrive at the same conclusion -- but does that mean each one was a waste? in other words, aren't we more creative in isolation?

@eigenrobot y r u doing this robot

@thinkagainer @eigenrobot hmm stims do make me more neoliberal

@lessin @semil `On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time.` - Brand

so is it just me or is Annihilation complete nonsense

@pelotom movie have not read book

@fortenforge i especially hate it because it showed some promise

@powerbottomdad1 ya honestly havent seen a good one in a while

@gbrl_dick lol'ing at your bio reference

@SeedyJonze @fortenforge "yes,, not making any shred of sense was my master plan"

uhh what

also overall confused to hear the goddamn New Yorker imply that SSC may be too wordy and self serious

@luke_metro @aquariusacquah not a clue

@thee_snek What’d he do?

@RIPAOCummies real drewligans havent even went to bed

@RIPAOCummies perhaps ....

@Lefthandedluni the surface level metaphor is clear what's not clear is if the movie has anything interesting at a ll to say about self destruction

@Delicious_Tacos which half?

@mechanicalmonk1 kind of an odd complaint lol there are plenty of journos that talk like normal people. it’s nice that there are some who talk with this full lip sneer affectation

@AOCummies kinda based ngl

@mattyglesias @paulg you haven’t understood the point — the valuation is designed as a rip off
