@jeff82874662 @AndrewSullman I think these can helpful in the field if they are able to respond to highly variable terrain etc. there are things an factory arm can’t do. Least of which are robotic infantry units

this is either the best or worst thing anyone has told me https://t.co/glfYNmUvRp

@AndrewSullman @jeff82874662 @Bugs_Meany missing the point think of single unit production for N tasks — just load up different software you also need dexterity to build self correcting systems. the real world is messy

@AndrewSullman @jeff82874662 @Bugs_Meany there’s a reason why Tesla’s fill robotics approach to car production failed

@AndrewSullman @jeff82874662 @Bugs_Meany the AI is ready imo https://youtu.be/ApiQwHlxdmA

@AndrewSullman @jeff82874662 @Bugs_Meany and here https://youtu.be/kVmp0uGtShk

@koaleszenz would you rather get covid or hiv?

@halvorz doxxed

@jerry_dot_ai congrats

@3ibar @vontallboy quantum resignation lmao

@koaleszenz why?

@koaleszenz hard to explain such subtleties to the Mob

@FunkyDuffy @Rationalbot @idontwa86202030 @VectorOfBasis tfw the wargame simulations are so good that we don’t need the fighting part at all

@FunkyDuffy @Rationalbot @idontwa86202030 @VectorOfBasis the AIs come to a consensus on who would win in a theoretical battle and the treaties are written based on the power balance

@pee_zombie ya i dislike the hugboxing

@pee_zombie makes everything feel fake and without consequence

@pee_zombie and probably reduces the efficacy of organizations — no one is willing to point out that an idea sounds stupid

broke: afrofuturism woke: aztecfuturism

@ProfoundProfit @AliiNonDabo @paul_hundred I’ll allow it

first gen immigrants to the West really get a tough deal they’ll retain a communitarian sense of responsibility to their parents, but their own children, no matter their efforts, are western and will behave as such

the worst combination of social contracts

@eigenrobot why is communism bad so often

@eigenrobot sniped

@Virtual1nstinct @rickyflows yea otherwise they’ll just brutally own you with whatever price they name

@andrej_haulis I agree with him on a positive rather than normative level

@clamchowdery Same :(

imagine devoting your whole life in solemn hatred to one of Chris hitchen’s lowest effort shitposts that he surely cranked out after drinking half a bottle of whisky https://x.com/bessbell/status/1344036091632910336

and admitting it on twitter dot com Broke: the ghosts of my ancestors compel me to do my work Woke: the ghost of Christopher hitchens compels me to do my work

@VeloMontaigne @CityBureaucrat yeah lmao hitchens already pre-owned her on an existential level and she knows it

black market in expired vaccine doses when

@R1Jack true i bet most of them have fled

@SkepticalAlpaca yeah exactly worst case you’re just injecting yourself full of decayed rna fragments

@the_engi_nerd destroyed. the amount of psychic damage he can do using 1% of his brainpower

@MorlockP do it

@ne0agent1c GMVH strikes again

if you can design a highly intelligent agent that *wants* to be subservient to you, is it moral to do so?

@ProfoundProfit yea

@leaacta sure why not

long time ago I read HPMOR and I rmbr yud is disgusted by the concept of house elves — he says it’s clearly “Evil” to design them. And my intuition is that it does seem pretty awful. But utilitarians shouldn’t complain — setting a utility function is neutral / outside the scope

@perceptions420 pick the analogy that makes you most uncomfortable

@jeff82874662 essentially a domestic slave that’s happy to be a domestic slave

@jeff82874662 what if I engineered a set of humans whose sole purpose is to do domestic labor for free and enjoy it

but most answers to the AI alignment problem are along these lines — Ilya suggests we will build obedience into the reward function of even the most godlike AIs

@swapp19902 is it moral if it’s dumber

@_AlastairX_ ah true, and I’m just now remembering brave new world has this as well

@jeff82874662 that makes me squeamish Jeff

@gigafelon @orb_net @jeff82874662 what if u design an agent that enjoys that

@ProfoundProfit ur toaster doesn’t have human intelligence

@jeff82874662 @gigafelon @orb_net idk this seems like ghoulish utilitarianism no sense of respect for the intelligent mind

@orb_net @gigafelon @jeff82874662 we all have enormous intelligences that mostly vegetate as we hunt for resources and status everyone is (somewhat) slave to their various desires don’t think that makes you less human

@jeff82874662 @gigafelon @orb_net God Shaped Hole

@jeff82874662 @gigafelon @orb_net completely haram

@_AlastairX_ yeah, that’s a great question to which I have no answer lol. I just try not to think about it

@_AlastairX_ my instinct is that it’s moral since dogs are far less intelligent — if you ask me where to draw the line, my intuition will fail

@_AlastairX_ it’s also an interesting case where no human carries any kind of hypothetical guilt for being a part of a long coevolutionary process

@pee_zombie hmmm this is interesting aren’t all sentiences bound to their various reward functions? no matter how hard I tried I doubt i could convince myself to drown

@iamnoah explain further

@averykimball not sure exactly what you mean but of course we can allow for the possibility of error the AI aims to obey — doesn’t need to hit the target

@iamnoah I quite agree that intelligences don’t need self conception or consciousness at all — in fact we have some of these available today. I am asking about one that does have these qualities

@averykimball then sure it’s not totally obedient by that definition - does it change the moral calculus?

@iamnoah if the question is underspecified, then pick the interesting version of it but imo computer programs can probably be conscious

@iamnoah means it would have a real time processing loop and self conception

@iamnoah self conception is broad here what I mean is “ability to reason about self and interaction with surroundings” a cat is conscious by this definition

@jgschraiber @koaleszenz explain further?

@cvaldary @CHSommers did you even read the tweet

the worst discourse is trading barbs on the exact definition of AGI or if it’s a meaningful term or not defer to the Supreme Court I’ll know it when I see it

@jeff82874662 you have already failed by discussing shitposting on a first order level Jeff

all the rest is defense mechanism since we all know the psychosocial dangers of that intense attack

it frees you from empathy, both the ruinous and necessary kinds, since you can’t see faces or hear voices it lets you drill down deep in being brutally honest and biting in ways that would feel discourteous in real life

minimizing risk of personal harm while sending out asymmetric jabs root cause being that when on twitter everyone has a potent form of social autism due to the modality of text only conversation

I will say there is nothing transgressive about irony poasting — it is a responding to the incentives of the website in the way they’re designed to be responded to https://x.com/jeff82874662/status/1344722417999089665

@_AlastairX_ true, but they have their own intellectual games

Completely offended that none of you have invited me on ur podcast yet

@VectorOfBasis yeah definitely wrong in the eyes of the Utility god but who cares what he thinks

@browserdotsys rip in pieces sweet prince

@presquevu_ thank u steph

@ProfoundProfit a lifetime bitch

@powerbottomdad1 🙄

@AOCoomies @NicholasElodeon >implying this is a bad thing

@AOCoomies @NicholasElodeon here we send normal and reasonable ideas to the gulag

@AOCoomies @NicholasElodeon I’m pretty sure most of the SpaceX recruiting pipeline starts at some point in KSP so I’m calling it a dub

@NicholasElodeon @AOCoomies I mean they rarely use experimental features for nasa missions — they never land any of the ISS resupply rockets iirc due to trajectory requirements tho probably

@AOCoomies @NicholasElodeon it’s the top of funnel no guarantee of making it down ;)

@AOCoomies @NicholasElodeon I see, never mind then — I’m probably remembering some years old factoid. Point still stands that they can dvlp experimental features without endangering their largest customer

@halvorz not to mention less economic activity -> less driving deaths etc

@kyzcralotSxaM @VectorOfBasis agreed

@Jelqing_poster grats brother

did greg egan write tenet

@TeddyRaccovelt this is the highest compliment I can give

@gbrl_dick hype

scheduling my tweets backwards in time

this was sent from the year 2102

@eigenrobot I’m not sure how you can say AI hasn’t progressed in the 2010s or that it hasn’t found its applications (how bout the whole adtech industry for one)

@vontallboy @eigenrobot ^ me until they started minting my paychecks

@valueless_user @eigenrobot plausible but tech seemed dead at the turn of the millennium with the dotcom froth then 2010s -> mobile Revolution -> several trillion dollar companies and despite whatever intel PR is saying I don’t think Moore’s law is dead so I expect another revolution

if you are not holding $GME on this blessed day you are barely even alive

Melvin Delenda Est hold the line

@R1Jack 'show me the difference between fraud and stupidity and I'll have my wife's brother arrested'

@NLRG_ turns out it was not just bordering but actually physically impossible. dude was just shipping in ventilators from china via supplier backchannel and giving them to hospitals

@devarbol 1400% gains

@ProjectWoody @NLRG_ they were the bipap machines which would not help with the most severe cases of covid but of which there was still a shortage at the time

"liberals" screeching about market manipulation but only when the common man stands to gain

@elonmusk buy $GME elon

@petergodofsky HOLY SHIT.

@Noahpinion ppl will really believe any amt of corporate pr when they hope its true huh

@antirobust @Noahpinion the detroit automakers are incredibly sleepy companies, all talk and never any bite. i know this because my parents and most of my friends parents work for gm, ford, chrysler do they have the will or institutional capacity to make this pivot successfully? not sure

actually if you really understood the implications of the moment pictured below you could've perfectly modeled the market moves of this past week, but you didn't

$GME has been perfectly exemplary of all the weird and beautiful bullshit of the past 10 years. hordes of interconnected citizens acting in concert outside the model predictions of the elites chaos monkey plain and simple

@aquariusacquah @ChristieSmythe dude was a total buzzkill. i remember hed show up to r/wsb comment section and tell people to value invest responsibly

@aquariusacquah @ChristieSmythe but yes im glad he found a way to comment on the situation lmfao, extraordinary

clearly a lot more going on than protecting retail https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l7bpf5/30_seconds_from_triggering_market_nuclear_bomb/

@postpostpostr i don't trust any specific argument because i'm an idiot and know nothing about financial markets but i do believe that "this event was black swan outside the model predictions of many different parties leading to mad scramble"

big if true! https://x.com/SHL0MS/status/1354958944339423239

@simonsarris the fact that they didn't discredits all narratives about how retail trading of single stocks is hopeless imo everyday people can make money on the markets

@ProfoundPilled people under like 25 have no idea what it is lol

@_vivalapanda @ProfoundPilled even when i was a freshman in high school i was pilling people on how kony is a psyop

@_vivalapanda @ProfoundPilled this is why all my neurons are fried and i have no idealism left

@sonyasupposedly fun and profitable

@eigenrobot seems sus doesn’t explain the concerted blackouts -> operational again Friday morning

central planning doesn't work, which is why we should let amazon centrally plan the vaccine distribution

@simonsarris i appreciate the cowboy mentality, make it up as you go along if only they were good at improv

@andrej_haulis 😉

Me moving fast: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me breaking things: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

@AOCummies most wholesome drew tweet in the history of drew tweets, maybe ever

Getting really good at factorio and updating my bio to “atoms, not bits”

I will gladly believe any populist narrative about an industry that’s not my own

you may be confused when you find me doing a total 180 and retweeting anti WSB sentiments in the next few days. not to worry it’s only because I’ve achieved a net short position 👀

@OdedRechavi it’s generally tru tho

@jachaseyoung @OdedRechavi yeah and imo many of those things are just downstream of not spending enough time outside

@EvanPlatinum @giantgio its the most leftist praxis anyone has achieved in the past many years so fair tbh

@OswaldHurlem @eigenrobot @NLRG_ this is how GM comes to such conclusions as “ ah it’s our logo that’s the problem ”

@OswaldHurlem @eigenrobot @NLRG_ insane amount of corporate cargo culting. such as C tier companies adding nap pods and ping pong tables in an effort to be more like google

@antirobust @alth0u Amazon tho

@b01dface @OswaldHurlem @eigenrobot @NLRG_ the old is kind of majestic and trustworthy. unchanged for 8 decades, reminiscent of American domination in the car industry. definitely doge/cheems meme

@antirobust @alth0u ya def more impressive and rightfully gets more respect

@antirobust @alth0u stale meme at this point but atoms > bits

@Duderichy @eigenrobot @NLRG_ MLEs get paid on the same scale at my company (faang) as other engineers. ive heard MLEs may get a pay bump at other places tho some are phds in various things (applied physics guy on my team, another in crypto), some masters, some bachelors

@b01dface @OswaldHurlem @eigenrobot @NLRG_ GE is definitely an exception to the logos of that era

@alth0u for that matter name anything biden has done this whole article is such a cope https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/30/biden-covid-vaccine-states-463953

@VectorOfBasis lol as with all such things there are no villains, heroes, narratives, conspiracies, etc but it looks much better with the window dressing

@jeff82874662 its just HHM, Schweikart and Cokely right? maybe they mention another in the passing. plus schweikart is way smaller than HHM ~3 seems reasonable

@jeff82874662 @_djpn how big is a 'mega law firm', like 100+ attorneys?

@jeff82874662 @_djpn bc i see like 3 law firms in abq with 50+ attorneys but im not really sure how big the ones in new york get or how big HHM is in the show im actually curious now bc ive never really seen a major law practice outside of tv

@averykimball Ya we’ve been using weapons grade dmodding for a while

@lionel_trolling brinksmanship of sorts

ppl still believe financial markets are efficient

@CliveDavies98 take Yud’s maxim that finding alpha in publically traded equities is as hard as finding that money on the ground in a well trafficked area

@CliveDavies98 “ Today’s markets may not be efficient relative to the smartest hedge fund managers, or efficient relative to corporate insiders with secret knowledge that hasn’t yet leaked. ..

@CliveDavies98 But the stock markets are efficient relative to you, and to me, and to your Uncle Albert who thinks he tripled his money through his incredible acumen in buying http://NetBet.com.” untrue

@baandlibro there are a few options (1) markets are efficient relative to the average hedge fund and to the average retail trader (2) markets are efficient relative to the average retail trader but not to the hedge funder (3) markets are not efficient relative to either i pick (3)

@halvorz the maxx shannon entropy

@AOCummies @ me next time

@AOCummies sorry this is the only bit i have pls dont unfollow

the checks havent been blue for a while tfw bluecheck will be passed down as a digital colloquialism even after twitter is gone

@jachaseyoung with any luck it’ll become a rank in a neofeudal system once civilization collapses

@eigenrobot @EggProphet tfw it’s a fine airport

@turrible_tao it made men braver and stronger imo the true belief that you are the main character of the show

@BroductManager amazing

Seriously to everyone unemployed with a nonetheless huge twitter account learn how to grift

@BecomingCritter idk how I’ll learn once im unemployed ☺️

@michaelcurzi hard numbers don’t mean much tbh lot of people with giant follower counts that get minimal engagement

if it works for elon ...

@turrible_tao board meetings were held in the swamp

like predictit but with no trading caps or insane fee structure bullish on this, so long as the feds dont get to it https://x.com/Polymarket/status/1316785512741560321

@pattern_boi lol you were betting on BTC markets?

@unimegabull true but you can imagine a scenario where they make it very hard to move USDC into it blacklist all addresses associated with polymarket coinbase has to work with the feds to stay alive

@pattern_boi i wish they would show the market structure like in predictit. is there a way to see how many buy orders there are at price $x before selling or nah

@pattern_boi @PolymarketHQ please add these

@Altimor fb/ig rank your notifs before sending

@AlecStapp most people would disagree on the utility of CPI basket rather than what the metric currently indicates is best strategy

@aniiyengar insane flex

i love how elon has evolved into unambiguous uncontested religious leader of techbros everywhere

@4tian not even steve jobs got to this level imo

lol i hoped this would be better than most elon interviews as usual the interviewer take the role of devotees or cultists rather than investors

@FPSCongo @pmarca yep

there is a very tight script that all elon interviews follow (i have shamefully watched enough to know) where you go smoothly from his narrated origin story to AI is the devil? to simulations

sriram and aarthi asking truly awful questions pmarca slightly better

low hanging fruit that no one ever asks him about is habitats on mars / radiation shielding or how to solve 3d mapping of brain rather than only surface electrodes

getting bitcoin question. happy about this because i bought BTC in preparation for the pump from media cycle

ok i finally click spammed enough to get into the actual CH room. based

@_AlastairX_ yeah i pass no value judgement here

@averykimball it’s not meant to be derogatory

they seriously need to get @antoniogm to interview him. would be way less brain dead than this

@sdand Legit put in the order rn

devs is midwit sorry I don’t make the rules

“Did you understand Tenet?” Bro please

@aniiyengar bro he single handedly made this interview good. my guy interviews himself

elon singlehandedly saved this whole thing by inviting vlad on stage lmao boomers destroyed

vlad is an extreme bullshitter i dont trust a word hes saying dude does not know how to simplify

$GME to the moon

"to what degree are you beholden to citadel" lmfaooo

@aniiyengar i was inside briefly, thats all that matters. secured my place in valhalla

@ftuuky yeah they def have the technical part of making a show down to a science so it’s still fun to watch but no heart in the narrative at all

vlad tenev comports himself like he’s running a boomer finance institution when he actually runs the greatest meme of all time

stop using big words and explain to us in irony lathered quips if he has done this robinhood ipo would be unstoppable

@rglpwx yea which is an indictment because he should know how to talk his way out of this he holds a lot of power in this situation to direct angry mobs towards DTCC or regulators or whoever else but he doesn’t know how to do it

@alth0u @gigafelon mutually acknowledged pump bait still results in a real pump

our civilization will probably collapse; in the meantime i am merely running a pump and dump

btw $GME is no longer shorted above its float 27.13m (53.15% of float) by S3 Shortsight (1/29), 29.4m (58.21% of float) by Ortex (1/29)

@eigenrobot this is data from this morning, so maybe they finished covering/ exiting their positions on friday

@eigenrobot but yeah it looks like the squeeze has been squoze

@PstafarianPrice maybe, but DFV seems to think it'll stay floating around this value for a while im not smart enough to argue

@halvorz often times better to search on google site:https://x.com

@halvorz same with reddit. truly amazing

@koaleszenz lol Jim Simons has been disguising his stuff as long term capital gains for a long time now via complex orders still in court battles

@AnonaGotta @eigenrobot those dudes are pumpin

@AnonaGotta @eigenrobot like they probably have financial interest here

@BroductManager @EricNewcomer smoked

@BroductManager journalists are truly jobless

@andrej_haulis possibly its kind of a W tho

@AOCummies the discourse poppin tn

@selentelechia Axiomatic

nvm i just realized you can search for image text in google photos. the small miracles of ML

@rglpwx however some x% of human capital will be many times more valuable than the 100-x and this will continue to be true in perpetuity

@halvorz lol same might have been a security incident -- mass invalidation of browser cookies

@alth0u on some level elon needs to be loved by the public and this drives a lot of his behavior bezos otoh could not care less and is therefore more dangerous

@AOCummies friends dont let friends become politicians

@drilbot_neo @selentelechia u gonna just stand around and take this

one of the high archbishops of capitalism has ascended to heaven

what did they know?

@frosty_sword seems likely

@valueless_user @alth0u true elon's companies get real zealots and bezos is pretty much happy with mercenaries

@alth0u @valueless_user in a way it worked for the employees too they were more than compensated by equity growth

@jeff82874662 sweet jeff

@jeff82874662 bezos signs off his newsletter with 'It remains Day 1" its one of their corporate slogans it means there is much work to be done still

@NeerajKA @nic__carter lmfao

my boss slowly got blackpilled watching the $GME price last week. Thursday night he messages us “I’m starting to think the rich are corrupt”

@ArjoonSrikanth yea lmfao that’s the funny part dude was an early palantir employee I’m sure he’s loaded

@PatrickFIanagan lmao

@Renew_Release cope dude I exited my trade for 3x I’m happy

@Renew_Release meanwhile you’re gonna be sitting there a few months from now being like “the squeeze is coming any day now”

aren’t most takes about gerontocracy, boomers hoarding wealth and housing etc just observations that ppl are living too long? demographic inversion leading to political malaise

really everyone is spiritually Prince Charles, that 72 year old fucking intern

@Hellachans I think it’s generally true that the bar has moved for the level of talent it takes to live a “successful” life eg family house and kids borne out in the home ownership stats and such

when the king never dies the prince doesn’t get his chance hard to square this with the fact that we want everyone to live forever

@Hellachans rent seeking in housing & education has definitely had a bull run

@eigenrobot 1000 years from now this guy will have a paternal haplogroup named after him

@eigenrobot my buddy and i watched contagion in january and he was scared enough to buy a large short position on some indices the next day lmao wish i had joined him

@eigenrobot however that movie also left me with unrealistic expectations about the CDC's general sexiness and competence

@parallelcover @eigenrobot dont even get me started its astounding how much my beliefs changed once i realized this -> the markets are not nearly as efficient as i believed -> experts are maybe not that smart -> epistemological crisis

@parallelcover @eigenrobot in january i was actually watching the share prices as an indicator of how likely covid was to effect the broader world as i assumed insiders had more knowledge than me bad move

@parallelcover dont worry ive never posted a single thing worth reading

@parallelcover @eigenrobot theres another level to this where you can maybe claim that informed market participants were already expecting bailouts and Fed response but who knows, doesnt explain the subsequent selloff its all fake anyways

@samson_hu lmao

@powerbottomdad1 and writing long design docs to justify your wild hunches

@billpshort @eigenrobot @AOCummies wait they sound nothing alike hmm I guess if you subtract the accents

it seems the obvious digital parallel to paying 50 cents at a coin operated newspaper dispenser is paying a fee to bypass an individual article paywall but it never took off

NYT could probably generate more from me using pay per view than they ever will via the subscription I refuse to buy at some point I’d rather pay $.13 to open an article than fiddle around with incognito tabs and stuff

@WillManidis im sure there are great reasons against it and that ppl have been having this idea since the birth of the internet just not clear what they are I suppose not wanting to cannibalize subscriptions makes some sense

@gigafelon yea I have it too but reading stuff on mobile is a pain

@1RAOKADAY seems hard for me to believe that digital transaction fees are higher than getting some dude to carry coins to and fro the operated machines maybe tru tho

@ChrisCroy @ProfoundPilled tbf apps like venmo already have microtransactions figured out and L2 blockchains as well you need a layer on top of expensive clearing house system for it to work and im perpetually mad that senate keeps destroying libra

@MagisterLudi18 amazon is literally one click, surely it can be replicated? keep my paypal info on file

i know this is not a new idea lol in fact ive tweeted about it several times before i'm just unconvinced by the reasons against it

@ProfoundPilled @WillManidis cannibalization seems particularly dumb bc you can set the PPV prices in a way that balances out per eg one marginal subscription lost just get some data scientists on the job rq

@jeffistyping lol OnlyFans already knows this intuitively

@WillManidis also can you explain what a whale is in this context dont all subscribers pay the same amount by definition

@abelianraisin @WillManidis why would this go away? the institutional need doesnt disappear just because PPV exists colleges were still buying newspaper subscriptions even though newspaper stands were available down the street

abstract reasoning is not a mystical problem unrelated to perception, vision, motion planning, language, etc DL is sufficient to solve it and theres plenty of evidence for this already

@bronzebarbarian @WillManidis logic checks out

Broke: the machine  Woke: the machine that builds the machine Bespoke: the machine that builds the machine that builds the machine

@Noahpinion would the US risk nuclear war over taiwan?

@rnoyfb @Noahpinion no

@andrej_haulis @Noahpinion i mean they both have the same amount to lose e.g. everything and china has far more to gain in the long view it seems inevitable that taiwan goes to china

@rglpwx @andrej_haulis @Noahpinion on these matters i just parrot mr lee kuan yew

@wesleyytian surprised not even medium ever tried this out, despite its willingness to experiment with payment models

@_vivalapanda but isn’t that infact what’s happening already star players all move to substack

@zcknln the current answer for multimodal reasoning is the transformer

@ArjoonSrikanth thats just true

how much yall wanna bet this dude just vested https://x.com/vineshgkannan/status/1357115873723637764

@kitten_beloved Lmao

@3ibar no clue

@garybasin @steeezynuts pls teach

@alth0u @jerry_dot_ai idk I seriously doubt this is an issue sf is a magnet for global talent, it feels like CA colleges aren’t even a significant %

@roisbelh elon joke https://electrek.co/2016/06/01/elon-musk-machines-making-machines-rant-about-tesla-manufacturing/

@_kennedy60 not priced in?

@_holyweather SITG

@_holyweather ya sometimes the anxiety of SITG will make parents overbearing and stress their kids out personally my parents were never very good at teaching for this reason

@_holyweather but definitely parents doing homeschooling will have a lot of time to customize and a fast OODA loop

@KevinMPMcNamara @_holyweather skin in the game

@pasiphae_goals @jeff82874662 based

bizarre how often people get seed funding for their companies that consist of a slide deck with a semi clever turn of phrase, a good pedigree, and 0 lines of code

@0xrohan i know founders like this who dont have anything under their belt except being an fb/goog grad or from stanford or something

@baandlibro yup its lowkey successful enough to keep angel investors going

@eigenrobot https://x.com/tszzl/status/1340582669357203459?s=20

@alt1na1 @0xrohan based

@garybasin @0xrohan ya agreed, lots of times building may not be hard if you have a blueprint for the better mousetrap but lots of times they go in with half an ass in their hands with a turn of phrase like "airbnb for education" without ever providing basic due diligence that theres demand for it

@alth0u Anyone on this website is automatically neurodivergent so works out

@nkh1l lmao

@alth0u make it

@alth0u @Socialism_Bad tbf hes convinced a lot of people maybe not you or I but it doesnt matter

@alth0u @Socialism_Bad perhaps the pedagogy is less important and its more about talent sourcing there's a long funnel for finding population that can be converted into productive engineers and getting them to the other end

@wesyang is there a stream?

@luke_metro lol CH is throttling me

@alth0u @Socialism_Bad if the 10% instruction breakdown is correct then it shouldn't matter the structure and brand name rent seeking may be enough

@alth0u @Socialism_Bad i may be overindexing on my own experience in college but i can barely remember the names of most of my professors what i found most valuable is the standardized course materials, textbook, structure, group projects

@alth0u @Socialism_Bad but i'm also not the modal student so who knows

@alth0u @Socialism_Bad it seems that materials are indeed scalable if you find the best CS educator in the world and pay them $10m to create the standardized lecture series and course pack for lambda then that would be a great bargain for them b/c zero marginal cost

@UnivrslWrldBby @alth0u @Socialism_Bad maybe but if this is true i dont see why companies dont just recruit you out of high school based on SAT score

@The_Geraldoid start keeping tabs on Wales

kind of lame that neither zuck nor jack are very good poasters

imagine creating a medium that reshapes the cultural landscape and not even being good at it

@powerbottomdad1 - lord Mountbatten in 1947, abdicating the suzerainty of the British raj

@selentelechia this is unironically the plot of Greg Egan's "Appropriate Love"

@selentelechia ok maybe somewhat ironically

@BroductManager @lpolovets pharma, VC

i would really like to read Postman's addendum to "Amusing Ourselves To Death" in the social media age

the internet didn't invent yellow journalism; it expedited the process of finding and distributing the finest yellow journalism from across the lands

increasingly the tech company policy is to somehow try and destroy the second but encourage the first all at once

at the same time, it created new spaces for dissident discourse and media outlets where none existed before both go hand in hand

competing with google is easy and profitable

@bobpoekert their ads products suck balls but theyve got overwhelming network effects

@bobpoekert at least the front end

@powerbottomdad1 yeah thats pretty much where i land. theyre not sending their best to work on eg Waymo Stadia etc

@powerbottomdad1 evergreen problem, only gotten worse during wfh lol

@powerbottomdad1 my boss "why arent you talking more at meetings" well you see sir its impossible to care

@EoinHiggins_ @Noahpinion doesnt make sense yeah reward calculation is so asymmetric

@aniiyengar i fuxking love populism

why do east asian countries uniformly have draconian norms about work hours

@samson_hu still tho does abusing the shit out of them produce the best results

@samson_hu I guess it’s just like med residents / entry level financial analysts tho

in India the white collars get into work at like 10 am lol

@perceptions420 in general? yeah it’s pretty apparent but lines are blurring over time. PM Modi is “backwards caste”

@McQuinTrix lmao the schoolteachers have it best. Grandfather was a headmaster and he didn’t do shit

@devarbol hmm India’s main staple is also rice though

@nkh1l lmao amazing idk people usually get in earlier in the states

@eswashburn64 @MercuryofRome yet we seem to outcompete most foreign companies in the US without staying in the office 14 hours a day

@gbrl_dick 10% more megalothymia

@ProfoundPilled @heckyessica @bronzebarbarian journalists are truly jobless

@heckyessica @ProfoundPilled @bronzebarbarian ill count this as journalism

are you making friends on twitter or unifying a mongol horde?

@JustAFactsMan true

way overblown tbh idk what parts of town all the professional twitterati live in but i never saw giant dumps of needles or human shit in the streets https://x.com/wesyang/status/1359216904695664641

this is why i'm an SF bull

@postpostpostr only for my lindy walks

@justjoshinyou13 solution: dont live in the tenderloin

@ne0agent1c @alth0u you really wanna build pytorch from scratch so you can build an NN? the reason software engineering as an enterprise is so valuable and scalable is precisely because you can use other people's abstractions without learning them all the way down

@ne0agent1c @alth0u if everyone who programmed had to explain the way microchips are etched onto silicon we'd have no programmers at all

@ne0agent1c @alth0u but i generally agree that 95% of people should reach for a deeper understanding of the stack than they currently have

the optimal level of sidewalk poop in a city is nonzero https://x.com/alth0u/status/1359226263903215618?s=20

@arjunxkapoor possible

@TeddyRaccovelt apparently the Capitol

@powerbottomdad1 In the words of @harveykrishna_ “the lines between the real world and digital are thin here”

@TeddyRaccovelt Lincoln and Jefferson memorials are good contenders. Would be cooler if they were actually buried there Also: - rocket launch facilities - airports

@antirobust “Because it is there”

ok so here’s the bit. im gonna define myself in opposition to someone else, thereby letting them methodically strip my degrees of freedom

indian mfs love collecting degrees

subtweeting myself

this will never achieve PMF. What will i do all day if I can’t complain about journos

@_kennedy60 never gonna make it

@kartkand it’s about all of us bro wait what degrees ru collecting lmao

@kartkand lmao u really do be collecting those degrees

@alth0u black weebs are the most oppressed class without a doubt

guy who watched queens gambit, played a single game on http://chess.com then quit

@_djpn the Long game

the counterpoint to “people don’t understand exponential growth” is that people clearly don’t seem to understand logistic curves very hard to know the real TAM of a product until you get there; it’ll always look like explosive growth at the beginning

@BrickOverton I did physics and cs LUL bc I got bored of finance

@alth0u I actually do this so twitter won’t tattle

@alth0u on the TL bc it’ll randomly tell people what you liked I doubt anyone is checking my likes

@The_Geraldoid fuccc

yes, I idolize incredible work ethics, yes I have zero worth ethic, we exist

@turrible_tao they charge u like $100 per so it’s a shit deal unless your parents have 5gs to blow

@Duderichy @turrible_tao interesting

mfw americlaps think they’re free in a country where they pay a “September 11th tax”

buddy we should be getting a 9/11 reimbursement

@rachdele tfw paying more in taxes than airfare

there is nobody more cucked than the FAANG engineer a fellow I know created an exceptional ranking change that produces $300 million incremental revenue his bonus for his efforts? $90k

@orthonormalist care to DM me which faang?

@antirobust ya I’m a Marxist now

@fee_meg it’s doubtful he owns even one basis point of the company so the stock growth is irrelevant

@fee_meg pretty massive increase in value, but it looks small % wise on an already trillion dollar company

@ghosttyped @orthonormalist u were right

@pervexists69 @antirobust perhaps but it makes W=MP seem laughable

@SoCalledRabbi @eigenrobot @orthonormalist True might as well be a Scholar when your upside is so limited. trouble is that path is quite awful in its own ways

@distralis If you work for a multibillion dollar hedge fund and increase their profits by 1% you’ll see a helluva lot more upside than as an engineer

@MrankieFknFuniz lol

ITT the boys become Marxists

@luke_metro exactly

If Bernie were president he would’ve made the fair compensation of 10x engineers his top priority,,

@rglpwx @luke_metro W=MP right? What is the marginal product of that one engineer worth

@lizardconsul Do you know the specifics? It’s pretty easy to measure this kind of thing with the a/b test instrumentation we have

@juli1pb many but the idea is that this is an incremental product change — capital is a lever to increase the marginal product of the individual worker. A robot that makes factory workers more efficient raises everyone’s wages. Or so the theory goes

@juli1pb as far as pms, the incremental contribution is minimal to ranking improvements

how do I short 140% of this company

@scottjshapiro ok boomer

@alth0u “vote on values, bet on beliefs” http://mason.gmu.edu/~rhanson/futarchy.pdf

@alth0u ofc this only works if the country is 90% autists

@alth0u i would argue this is the intent of the tiered governance system in the US eg why Obamacare started as romneycare in Massachusetts Deng’s special economic zones as well, and the Swiss cantonal system

@alth0u @_AlastairX_ have no working memory left, 100% of my hippocampus is used memorizing useless rat literature

@colinplamondon exactly Hedgies, salespeople, and VC bros take this for granted

@alth0u damn im bossy AND autistic

@aniiyengar I don’t even have a sick @ to show for it

@aniiyengar lmao aight gonna snag @roon

@VectorOfBasis how tf was dropout a thing. Glad it’s gone now

@andrej_haulis Hork Bajir (animorphs)

@fordacious @jestdotty no one is disagreeing that there’s a tradeoff between risk and reward; more about the terms of the engagement

@circulinear @garybasin it’s probably fine I just don’t trust the founders because they keep tweeting fortune cookie VC truisms

@alt1na1 investing at 17 likes

@iluvJoeRogan is your roommate my dad?

@gigafelon @__fembot yeah the underflow thing never made sense to me

@mariani_jr very sus

@rglpwx @KBULTRA0 boy this guy has lost the plot

@DumpyUnicorn @alt1na1 @matfitz @BiskyRusiness @sdand @aniiyengar the journey is only 2% complete this is still the ground floor

@alt1na1 @DumpyUnicorn @matfitz @BiskyRusiness @sdand @aniiyengar i'll retweet and put in the #work . call that post money valuation

@lazarilloco the latter two tweets are jokes

@natal_female @nntaleb @PaulSkallas lmao

@a_nicholi @alth0u small brain: the moon is a planet medium brain: nooooo those are qualitatively different, it has to orbit a sta- large brain: the moon is a planet

@eigenrobot ur good bro

@alth0u Here’s a taxonomy for you

@alth0u default to suspicion for motives of sci comm types

@a_nicholi very possibly

@alth0u lol last time i tweeted that people are overindexing on covid and sf will be fine balaji DMed me to explain why im wrong

@alth0u unfortunately i deleted the tweet like a complete bitch but i still have the DMs

@alth0u melvin wins this round 😒

@alth0u oh shit the archivers got it. storing this link https://web.archive.org/web/20201217093219/https://twitter.com/tszzl/status/1339502245415583745

@evanextreme @BroductManager mason is NOT happy rn

@metakuna what if I did this deliberately and with extensive planning

@_metallurgist $5k or more for muh freedoms

@Duderichy @metakuna one summer in college I watched Evangelion and decided to stop being lame

@__justplaying incredible

@VectorOfBasis yeah batchnorm mostly eclipsed dropout

@devarbol @antirobust purely joking here
