other people's acid trips: chill out dude. everything is connected. hang out with your friends more my acid trips: you are not contributing to mankind enough

@luke_metro lool

@rglpwx smart man

@lisatomic5 mechanistic thinking requires a different part of the brain than interpersonal thinking imo

@lisatomic5 yeah definitely think interpersonal is where we derive meaning

@lisatomic5 you don’t recruit software engineers by telling them that they’ll get to create cool systems but ultimately that they’re “connecting the world” or “making the world a better place” at the least it’s stronger

@lisatomic5 the phrase “personal relationship with God” speaks volumes

@_AlastairX_ hopefully it’s #1 and not #2

@turrible_tao its like printing money https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/6994/Will-Donald-Trump-file-to-run-for-president-before-the-end-of-2021

@LucasGold06 would be hard to justify but no. i think on the long tail the value of this website can be millions

@bryancsk haven't gotten one

@bryancsk weird i made like double that

@metakuna is it really about knowledge transfer? i've always felt learning about esoteric things is useful only because you never know where there's low hanging fruit for improvement e.g. finding some new branch of academic literature can be rewarding when you find that it's lacking xyz

@CSP_Trading @bryancsk nvm i was being mf stupid and checking the wrong email

@metakuna i'll also say it's an uncommon skill to be able to do the utilitarian math on whether learning some new part of the stack at work will be worth the time. generally, I find that I systematically underestimate which parts are in my purview but you may be different

@VectorOfBasis miri owned

.@TwitterData publish your user embeddings cowards

in my whole time at {BigTechCo} i have never written a single test

@lalaAlicelala ☺️

@samson_hu lol our release cycles dont actually look much different than this

@DistractedAnna do you mean career in a way that has actively provide value to others or as a game because you should be able to do anything as a game

@pee_zombie @erf_of_why at big tech scale there are whole teams of underappreciated devops guys underwriting our terrible practices and making invincible infrastructure so the kiddies can play around

@n55939491957681 @DistractedAnna to be clear tho i don't think i would be a good bridge architect but i still like playing Polybridge. not everyone is suited for every role that they might have fun in, independent of intelligence

@n55939491957681 @DistractedAnna sooner or later we'll all be relatively bad at everything imo as computers get smarter so it's important to cultivate Games

@thinkagainer olympic gold medal in talking

@thinkagainer might just be survivorship bias tho

@helorides4freee (forgive vast generalization etc) asian immigrants grow up in an environment that has not yet reached post scarcity and therefore is relatively unconcerned with the top segment of the maslow hierarchy e.g. politics as self expression etc

despite twitter and everything the information flow is really awful for someone trying to break into some career pathway and nobody really knows what's going on until they're deep in it

like realistically i'm more careerist and "plugged in" than 95% of people and i don't know what to expect until it's happening

when you're 18-19 and choosing something to do you basically have 0 information and do it entirely based on vibes which is cool i guess

@rglpwx those two mechanisms are the same thing lower interest rates means there's more "excess cash"

@alth0u yep having the right piece of information at the right time is really the thing that separates most careers from zero to hero

@natal_female lol pretty based tho. worked out for you

@jeff82874662 problem jeffrey?

@jeff82874662 nah just in a reflective mood

@rglpwx don't individuals also make allocation decisions? open bank account vs put it in stocks might change your mind once you see the 0.01% savings interest rate

@harshita_kk no we just suffer with our mistakes lol

people who think that mars colonization is the same thing as earthly imperialism are basically NPCs and are barely conscious. just doing rote symbol manipulation in their heads

@jachaseyoung favorite word, along with antediluvian

@tibo_maker hi

@nkh1l lmao owned

@nkh1l but making her put in that much effort is itself a W

@michaelcurzi nice try GPT3

@yashkaf i went to mine but my hygienist just lectured me about bill gates microchips and vaccines

@jachaseyoung i wonder why this app is like this? by most metrics it's way behind the other SM and yet it seems to have the most power to wreak havoc

@MegaBasedChad @jachaseyoung yeah the fact that it encourages you to find randos on the internet and not just your irl friends is way different than the orientation of other SM

@n55939491957681 @GuilleAngeris gotta check off the HR checkboxes b4 they let you in

@jerry_dot_ai @abelianraisin @alth0u kind of based that they built the gui realistically i don't want every scientist to be limited by their knowledge of command line in the case of ML "scientists" no sympathy tho

@wiczipedia @jason_koebler fuck off

@telmudic @jerry_dot_ai @abelianraisin @alth0u i mean sure realistically i want my chemistry friends to be able to figure their way around a filesystem but scripting / distsys may be beyond them. i actually got into academia in the first place when my friend recruited me to distribute their optical simulations

@Hellachans wtf

guy who tries to maximize his flesch kincaid score

@aniiyengar one drop of modern media culture would actually vaporize an audience in the 70s

@alth0u imagining an american diner in japan called "hello"

marie kondo but for my chrome tabs

@Nick____Elodeon @alt1na1 i got thru college without taking notes but i finally started when i was a researcher lol too many experiment results to just remember

@mlanetrain great suspender was honestly a monument to our sins and we're better off without it

@bryancsk chrome is unstable enough to be its own chaos monkey

@telmudic lmao too close to home

@telmudic surveying my surroundings, observing stacks of empty starbucks cold brew cans, diet cokes, monster, and assorted supplements and nootropics that don't work

@SenatorRahul ive tried that one along with nearly everything else but it doesnt solve my problem pocket may be the best thing so far bc i can just dump stuff in there and stop worrying about it

public schools are kind of shitty. we can fix them by putting them in orbit & making them into video game based military academies so we can defeat the Formics --

@ChrisExpTheNews @alth0u same im craving diner food rn

@WilliamGrobman use it as a generic reading list

@alth0u @Nick____Elodeon

this is seriously stretching the limits of my ability to believe something is alive when you see columns of NN weights in excel cc @rickyflows https://x.com/joftius/status/1366078360338726920

"you live on an Excel spreadsheet"

language models are AGIs and i'm tired of pretending they're not ☺️

@wbic16 this is an argument that it's not intelligent enough rather than whether it's picked up the quality of "general"

@EliSennesh ☺️

@bryancsk 200 verbal IQ 50 visuospatial IQ

@wbic16 @vgr estimated training cost of one human brain is 4 billion years of evolution distributed across trillions of agents none of this matters for my definition of "general intelligence"

i guess John Gray PhD was right

@lalaAlicelala lol the 90s were basically a whole different culture

@_AlastairX_ lol cant believe i was saying shit like this on the TL in public. the trump years hit different

@halvorz @AClockwork_Crow it's good but i think on the decline seasons 1+2 hit so different

@_AlastairX_ gotta keep a catalogue of my most risky tweets

@_AlastairX_ yeah i have 0 opsec lol. to be honest i don't mind at all if people on twitter know my real identity. my main concern is basically normie HR people googling my name and instantly finding my twitter which I think i've successfully hedged against

rich yuppies will never hire a maid bc its déclassé but will gladly hire a serf to go fetch their groceries so long as it's hidden under at least one layer of digital indirection

@trevorjtweets yes indeed they made him a good person 😎

@ankurrsharma based

@bryancsk ya most of india as well

@ankurrsharma this tweet is revolutionary

@swapp19902 this is so based

@alth0u - your father gives you a training legion to command

captain phillips is just the perfect movie - container ship - tom hanks - displays of american military competence - container ship - cool pirates - did i mention the container ship

people tell me my opsec is bad but honestly i'm not really trying to be anonymous here mostly just hedging against random HR people googling my name and instantly finding my twitter

@lalaAlicelala digital necromancy 🤢

@TwardowskyMA only way to do them is incorrectly

@n55939491957681 lol what about this suggested i think that

@powerbottomdad1 blessed

@TenreiroDaniel holy based i want one

@n55939491957681 yeah exactly tru real anonymity is dead you just have to make your peace with being Known

@WilliamGrobman mostly agree yeah

@jerry_dot_ai lmao ya we have an internal wallstreetbets forum where people go buckwild

@alth0u good problem to have

@alth0u @Always123BC promos outside of big tech tend to come with only microscopic raises for vast increase in responsibility but I get the feeling it's somewhat different inside tech

@alth0u @Always123BC lmao

@JohnCarltonKing there are no viable interventions has to be some sort of organically grown social movement that convinces people to work less and marry more

@JohnCarltonKing more than likely it will have to be nationalism or religion

who exactly is outflanking GG&S from the left and how does it work https://t.co/52UeGWUqVI

@DurhamFella @JohnCarltonKing this can possibly work in south korea but never in japan

@chaoticitgirl investing in this at 13 likes

@zcknln yeah fair enough but i can't literature check every fleeting thought i have and computer vision is generally way outside my wheelhouse so gotta rely on intuition sometimes

@zcknln i've mostly worked on comp chem and reinforcement learning

@maffybarbz ah the "black panther" thesis

@rglpwx i see you've changed your mind on language models 😁

so when did it start? the invention of money? the neocortex? the first cell?

technocapital singularities can always be induction'd backwards that is if at some point "technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible" then the events leading up to it were probably also uncontrollable and irreversible

@rglpwx only joking sir

@balensphere true which most likely means that the singularity is not a useful concept

@haus_cole deeply depressing

@eigenrobot congrats!

i've never been this owned in my life

@pattern_boi @JohnCarltonKing it may be trite but materially speaking we’re living in the best time in history. the rest is bio-social degradation

this show was way ahead of its time

@alth0u i think it’s a pure systems problems right now. especially in RL it’s all about more efficiently splitting training across machines

@alth0u in the limit you can basically argue that transformers work miraculously because of their inherent parallelism

@alth0u there should be way more hardware and distsys people in this space

@alth0u I wouldn’t say it’s all about “engineering practices” though. there are genuinely interesting scientific problems in for example having episodic replay buffers distributed across a datacenter

if we continue the metaphor. AI/ML embracing States like China can See further and create more legibility. this is either value neutral or negative https://x.com/thinkagainer/status/1273259481019953158

@0xrohan total shitpost here

@DistractedAnna care to elaborate?

@DistractedAnna my own parents erred on the side of too little choice and i grew up kind of scared of making my own decisions. but I’m 100% sure there’s failure modes on the other side i can only learn thru experience

@BecomingCritter cellar door, it’s proven science,;

why does this have NFT vibes https://x.com/liminal_warmth/status/1366814447625379841

@_AlastairX_ yeah Im more instrumental than Yann; when I think intelligence I mean “general enough”

r9k rules should be added to twitter

but this time with content understanding

say something original!

@alth0u based

@lalaAlicelala idk i guess you kind of stake an ownership claim on some digital artifact like a jpg ... except anyone can really download it & share it as normal

@lalaAlicelala so it’s mf useless unenforceable contract but also it kind of does feel like you’re buying it somehow

@BecomingCritter we are both irredeemably cringe https://x.com/tszzl/status/1366938490399830021

@lalaAlicelala yeah it seems promising for artists

@lalaAlicelala all of us rn https://x.com/GuilleAngeris/status/1366938711816957956

@jachaseyoung I’ll just take their gradients and apply it to the artwork

@jachaseyoung the outcome of this process will be some image that causes you to instantly wirehead just by looking at it

@midwit100 size and age

interacting with Siri feels like it hasn’t improved in the last 10 years

for example if I said “open a spreadsheet and create a planner” every voice assistant software on earth would be coping despite this being well within the range of our strongest language models

@MegaBasedChad yeah i think voice assistant tools are the big ones. The lack of other categories here is kind of damning. Algorithmic social media feeds / search results are also AI based but not really exposed to the user

Hmmm likes busted for the first time

is this because I was sending @fuehrerking infinite likes yesterday?

@jeffistyping this is just advanced autocomplete right? It’s nice but most people don’t really recognize it as AI

@fuehrerking Lmao we are monkeys confirmed

@erf_of_why agree the recommender systems have gotten great but it’s not very user facing I think. The user doesn’t think of it as an AI to interact with

@MegaBasedChad yeah I think there’s a general gap between the average product developer’s knowledge of AI capabilities and the cutting edge. Researchers are often not people willing to hack away at products. The synthesis only happens at a certain scale

@MegaBasedChad im still extremely bullish on the next 10 years of AI but it may go through some phases

@lowqualitybot oo like photoshop and stuff? have not tried any of the advanced features. can you give me an example?

@MegaBasedChad I hope so but if I knew how to do it I’d do it myself and become a trillionaire

@healfhunding Truuuu

underexplored methodology -> plug your use case into GPT-3 via prompt engineering. It wont be great but it’ll do the trick. If there’s any PMF at all you get a data scale where you can build your own datasets and train your own language models

@GuilleAngeris @moyix ya I thought I liked it at first because it meant I could write short papers. Then I realized it meant you have to be publishing like 2-3 papers a year, each with results barely above the triviality threshold to stay relevant

@erf_of_why fair enough

forgot about Snapchat AR show of hands tho do you really think of that as an AI product? https://t.co/3rWmrFiiaT

@thoughtomata @erf_of_why yeah was just thinking of this. Perhaps I’m suffering from “AI blindness”

it seems to me that Tesla autopilot and related systems remain as the best user facing AI products as in (1) the user relates to it as an intelligence and (2) it’s an application of advanced ML capabilities very low user penetration currently tho

@mazuretsky yes, true. Probably magical for some people , I just don’t run into it much in my line of work.

@garybasin lol fair enough

@garybasin i would definitely start with something narrower than full fledged companion AI here why doesn’t Evernote auto categorize my notes? Shouldn’t be difficult

@lalaAlicelala i would've poasted all day about the virtues of going west and then never done it

@gbrl_dick @lalaAlicelala actually i lied i would've been in india

@powerbottomdad1 there are very very few games using modern ML for their bots

@erf_of_why @_the_benjamin lol but jokes aside this is pretty illustrative. i feel like people don't really recognize this stuff as ML/AI. they barely even recognize it as AR. there may be a slight distinction between learning based algorithms and "AI" as a product class

@erf_of_why @_the_benjamin would someone looking at a self driving car think of it as anything other than AI? i guess they might in due time

@powerbottomdad1 what are these, six figures for ants?

i think the modern right kind of needs this to be true for their version of class war but it's basically cope https://x.com/SheolSkater/status/1367215763132588033

@dysmemic yah lol they just want to be loved

@dysmemic it's part of the general shift of power relations from leaders needing to be feared to leaders needing to be loved

@arjunxkapoor they're all bland liberals

@dysmemic lmao ya too autistic to ever be loved except maybe musk

@VivaLaPanda_ lol

@dysmemic at least half the country loves epic bacon marvel bugmanism

@turrible_tao you honestly have to put on such insane ideological blinders to deny the existence of natural ability lol

@turrible_tao i have otherwise smart friends who’ll argue with me like “oh Muggsy made it into the NBA despite being 5’3” therefore anyone can be pro at bball”

@bronzebarbarian @turrible_tao based

@gbrl_dick it has all the right elements

@EricRichards22 hahaha naw that little rat is just taking a twitter break if twitter ever gets his account im leaving the site

@rplevy @turrible_tao ya def true

@telmudic what google L7 does to a mf

@VivaLaPanda_ @_AlastairX_ notably i'm interested in whether liberal vs conservative is a better correlate than biological sex. I would bet against it

@telmudic just thought about how this guy's prolly taking home like $400k in california and got depressed

@hyperdiscogirl labor markets are probably way more optimized than folks like to say and much of the low hanging fruit from education is prlly gone i harbor this belief because my parents grew up in tiny agricultural villages with no connections and ended up as professionals in america

@hyperdiscogirl hmm this might be object level politics ..

@pee_zombie agree with the thread tho. One of my first CS classes was an insane baptism by fire where we had to program peripheral drivers out of an assembly language we had written on an fpga shit was absolutely nuts but was probably more valuable than any other class I took

@FunkyDuffy @NewWaveRave1 yes

@infinitsummer lol of course not

tfw being funny is a poverty trait https://x.com/nwilliams030/status/1255530347749675008

good thing I’m not funny 😌

@cosmicoptima woke: every brain is a plural system

@cosmicoptima i buy it whatever the basic unit of consciousness is it’s definitely smaller than (1) brain

@VivaLaPanda_ @liekovarpio it’s all relative buddy 😊

@VivaLaPanda_ @liekovarpio i used to be incredibly shy now i overshare to 1000s on the internet

what do contrarians do when they win? we must imagine Peter thiel dutifully laboring away on his zero to one sequel

saying stuff like this is just another move in the academic politics playbook 😋 https://x.com/g_shullenberger/status/1368634203512987649

@postpostpostr @BroductManager ^

@cosmicoptima mostly I miss the effortless community of school and college prolly trying to make up for it on twitter lol. I only started posting here after graduating

@cosmicoptima and from my early childhood i miss my ability to focus and devour books even in totally random nonideal settings gameboy advance was a huge mistake!!

@cosmicoptima honestly I don’t remember why I unfollowed lol. algorithm brought you back tho!

@cosmicoptima I say effortless but it really only happened towards the end lol. I was a pretty solitary kid until like ~11th grade

@halvorz @cosmicoptima lmao sounds familiar how are kids able to do this??

@halvorz @cosmicoptima initial broscience guess is it’s probably some downside of developing executive function and having to be attentive to real world problems worrying only about the abstract is a privilege

@Duderichy @cosmicoptima yeah i got mine in 7th grade as well lol. a fatal blow from which my attention span never recovered 🥲

wish i had bought a lot of bitcoin early on. not because of the money but because i would have the confidence to tweet fortune cookie truisms all day and make it to 100k followers

@ChrisCroy theres a naval_gpt3 bot that may have eclipsed the original

@matt_slotnick feel like they said this in politics before tech got to it

@_AlastairX_ @jeff82874662 pretty sure the whole thread was ironic

@lessthanafew that too

@vjgtweets the number of talking heads on CNN is about to triple or quadruple

@priya_27_ @vjgtweets who said “inspired by India” lmao

the royal family is good and cool. it’s dope that we can have consequence free court gossip

@lalaAlicelala Idk something about Kate and Meghan fighting over wedding arrangements I’m not really following

@lalaAlicelala ok I understand now https://x.com/scottjshapiro/status/1368733764717789187

@zeitfugue @lalaAlicelala you will need a bit of both to understand the royal family

? https://x.com/amrothfc/status/1368359829073498115

what am i looking at here why is my brain a turtle shell

@vgr former has a feynman vibe

@doom2official lmao

@doom2official this is sad because I would like serious scholars to investigate this issue and not whatever this is

@VectorOfBasis So based

once i reach this state it’s over for y’all

@kitten_beloved you gotta try and find out

@vjgtweets lmfao “u sure you can handle this??”

@arjunxkapoor fuck

@antirobust i think people extrapolate the stagnation/ideological capture in the social sciences to everything else? even tho academia produced many of the incredible improvements in computer science we see today?

what if we had only finite Jest?

i will pay for a twitter newsfeed that only provides me 500 tweets per day

@lolitsnotreal_ @antirobust i assume most papers written in most times were not reproducible and were probably garbage and that the ratio is likely getting better over time

@lolitsnotreal_ @antirobust can you think of many fields where the results get independently verified like this tho http://paperswithcode.com/

@lolitsnotreal_ @antirobust most of these people walk through a revolving door of professorship at major universities and some time at industry labs there is lots of cross pollination and the "state of the art" results will be over represented by people with access to lots of compute

Mackenzie Scott should’ve held a svayamvar

low TAM joke

@ftuuky lmao amazing

@AOCoomies @Nick____Elodeon @Hellachans @DavidOrlich if by work you mean retire 😉

@benjamingreeley spelled both ways afaict

@sonyasupposedly wrong I could explain electricity to these mfs

@monodevice ewwww don’t compare me to him onio!

@gbrl_dick @sonyasupposedly lmao owned

@sonyasupposedly seriously tho if you have a vague idea how most modern inventions work you can figure out a lot of the rest and recruit some locals to help you I don’t know if you could reinvent industrial civilization but could probably shrink the gap 100s-1000s of years

@TheAgeofShoddy @sonyasupposedly I would argue people are more irreplaceable/nonfungible than ever due to increasingly high levels of specialization

@kitten_beloved @sonyasupposedly idk we can prolly figure it out! you can find permanent magnets at areas where lightning strikes finding the raw metals is hard but if you get them we’ll figure out a clay furnace time to take a smelting class to prep for time travel scenarios

@jeff82874662 @TheAgeofShoddy @sonyasupposedly im srs jeff at least for some PMCs there are people with a lot of tacit knowledge in their heads walking around as more simple repeat labor gets automated

@kitten_beloved @sonyasupposedly It depends what age/culture you’re placed in. If it’s like caveman time you’re already fucked. But could you advance classical Greece into industrial civilization? a lot of the really labor intensive nodes in the tech tree would be covered

@simplic10 @sonyasupposedly someone gets me a chunk of magnetite + basic metalworking I can make a spinning magnet generator depends what materials are available

@alth0u @sonyasupposedly do some cool shit with magnets I guess! or maybe can take a step back and mess with some basic acid/base chemistry and get some flashy reactions out of it to show the locals

@simplic10 @sonyasupposedly no but I’d know what to look for and can also go chasing down lightning strike zone to see if it’s permanently magnetized anything not saying it would be easy but possible

I bet there are a handful of engineers alive today with expansive technology dependency trees inside their heads who could rebuild industrial civilization if they were, say, transported to classical Athens https://x.com/lukeisamazing/status/1368726965755207694

@mndl_nyc @sonyasupposedly ya that’s completely true lol a mechanical engineer would be so much further ahead than a software/data idiot

all the software idiots would be helpless but the mech eng geniuses tho

@bronzebarbarian true but once they see you’re not a physical threat hopefully they assume you’re a god

@roddur_dasgupta honestly the computing stack is not as important to recreate as the basic industrial processes

@_AlastairX_ lmfao

I studied physics in college but retained nothing ...

@ChrisCroy exactly I think even I could figure out the rotating steam engine

@roddur_dasgupta true lol Silicon etching is probably out of the question so you’d have to figure out vacuum tubing

@simplic10 @sonyasupposedly lmao true

@_AlastairX_ ok retained some stuff I couldn’t restate maxwells laws to you from memory rn

@devarbol @sonyasupposedly yeah true. Or imo maybe build the printing press first to make sure your teachings survive

@SuMastodon lol yeah very possible

Patrick comments on how slow the FAA is to approve minor updates to avionics so aircraft software sucks but SpaceX seems to have gotten a radically new launch paradigm approved and rapidly iterates? is FAA a lot more anal about airplanes than spacecraft https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1368904331584548870

or is it just excuses for slow boring Boeing

@bronzebarbarian true

BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MH370

@bronzebarbarian starting to think don lemon made the whole thing up

@codeclayman damn what was he trying to prove? or was it just a suicide mission

@tim_ber_wind smart

@rchitectopteryx the falcon 9 system is supposed to be human flight reliable

@eigenrobot wait do Americans not bury anymore?

@rchitectopteryx starship is experimental at best and it flies fine the primary function of rockets is not landing

@gigafelon @eigenrobot Hindoos win in the end 😎

@arjunxkapoor @gigafelon @eigenrobot I’m sure we can figure out the logistics if there’s interest 3D burials?

@gaitanalyst @sonyasupposedly true the most optimal person here is someone who’s memorized most of the tech tree and knows the next steps to take based on when they’re dropped

@Hellachans ohh that explains it

@Hellachans i c yeah that's ridiculous probably why nobody tackles electric or hypersonic planes ever

@jachaseyoung at least 1 good thing came of it lmao

lmao it finally happened

@jeff82874662 @alt1na1 Happy bday!

@lolitsnotreal_ what this means is that you can rebrand & pitch any traditional business as a tech business to VCs with the aura of tech startup you can attract top talent and bring down titans (caveat emptor etc)

@lolitsnotreal_ idk the porn industry is pretty advanced

why aren’t my emails ranked by p(click) 😞

why is there universal penetration of ranked feeds but only where it concerns Infinite Jest

@guywhits >August way too optimistic lemy

is the common broscience demarcation between limbic system and neocortex accurate? do any neuro people follow me

@conorduffy_7 there are never any sharp system boundaries in the brain but is the narrative of “limbic system evolved first for feelings then neocortex on top for reasoning” vaguely correct?

@conorduffy_7 I’ve only heard this from software adjacent people and it seems like a very software way of thinking which is why I ask

@conorduffy_7 yeah seems incontrovertible but then again even just our limbic system would be more developed than a rat’s

@conorduffy_7 Could you recommend some papers on this?

@conorduffy_7 Thx!

@Algorithmexist the bar isn’t whether or not these are two discrete systems (as you say nothing in bio is so simple) but if it’s an effective abstraction

where lack of state capacity cancels out: - state health boards create extremely arcane vaccine priority lists based on strange reasoning - there’s nobody to stop the meijer down the street from vaccinating anyone who claims they’re an essential worker

@ayushswrites 4d full employment chess

@SamRo @MylesUdland Link plz to retail basket

@jachaseyoung @ofwhichnothing firing my editors and just posting it on goodreads

@benjamingreeley ?

@devarbol lol as it should be

stonks can only go up

@alth0u ill kill any man who says log it

@FunkyDuffy @SamRo @MylesUdland same and i googled for a while

the recall capacity of giant language models is so impressive that large institutions should be building these to read and understand every internal document they have whatever search function they have rn can be made 100x better

there's tons of tacit knowledge hidden away in documents that nobody will ever be able to access because they don't know what to search making this even a little better can (probably) create large improvements in big companies, where the limiting factor is information flow

@cutiepiebrowng true

@lowqualitybot @whomademecrispy ^ how we weed out the weak

@ollybot_redux @powerbottomdad1 lmao this is what made me post this internal search is infuriating even tho my company is probably top #1-3 in NLP research

@rglpwx named entities is a good step however we are not far off from a world where we can ask “ what happened to project X?” and get an auto generated timeline of events and text summary of the project goals & status

@powerbottomdad1 @ollybot_redux I wanna do something like this but the business model is hard you have to prove that it works before a big company will give you their data but you need their data scale to build the product circular dependency

@powerbottomdad1 @ollybot_redux so you need to figure out some sort of viable prototype you can make with small public datasets

@powerbottomdad1 @ollybot_redux lol the Enron internal details is a famous public dataset maybe we can do it with that

@powerbottomdad1 @ollybot_redux Wiki is somewhat different style of text than internal business docs but yeah maybe

@ollybot_redux @powerbottomdad1 True

@luke_metro @powerbottomdad1 @ollybot_redux true

ah so you've decided to start an AI company with a brain for a logo,

@roddur_dasgupta thanks for your support. i promise fruitful exits for all my investors

@carrr_losss not sure depending on pretraining methods smaller corpus may be easier rather than harder

@moultano yeah you’d want to define a problem where the machine cites where it got its info from

@moultano this is not theoretical, I’m pretty sure some companies like http://primer.AI are working on it

@moultano it’s uncanny watching them hallucinate totally realistic looking tumblr links lol

@moultano I mean this isn’t just a p(click) problem Spam filters, priority gmail all have to respect the risk profile of losing an important email Btw i absolutely lose important emails in the firehose p(click) may improve over status quo

@AE_Robbert lol if you can willingly abandon all claim of higher purpose you’re barely human

@chiefofstuffs pocket makes me angry because it’s half way there to being useful next steps would be to create a ranked feed of the articles I’ve stored or at least sending me emails nudging me to read stuff I’ve forgot in there

@erf_of_why exactly its value is in its vast memory and zero cost time use vs messaging a ton of people to find the answer

@erf_of_why also auto generate first pass documentation

@chiefofstuffs Yah loving Readwise so far Props @homsiT

will always romanticize people working one abstraction layer below me

people who consume my APIs? literal monkeys. People whose infra I use? Actual gods

@ProfoundPilled Safe bet

@CaesarSalad99 @jeff82874662 yeah it’s hard to imagine that she’s not ok with that stuff when she seems to actively thrive on creating social media outrage

@CaesarSalad99 @jeff82874662 i think taylor lorenz is basically an empty vessel selected specifically for her ability to have fights on the internet and whatever tucker is doing is excellent for her brand

you meet three twitter profiles A,B, and C A always sincereposts, B always shitposts, and C picks at random,

@koaleszenz @DistractedAnna hunter-farmer makes a lot of sense to me

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz Ethereum is plenty deflationary despite there being no limit on coins

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz which honestly won’t matter because Bitcoin isn’t a country I think it’s a fairly useful invention but will always be a transaction mechanism rather than what we typically think of as currency

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz when you go to the online drug markets their prices will be listed in dollars but transacted in crypto the price is almost irrelevant to this function of Bitcoin (except for network fees)

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz true but btc seems to be the schelling point / reached universal name recognition so even the sort of side chain copes may be the way forward as in many other arenas of life being first beats being best

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz Well to be fair 99% of our financial system can be described as “side chains” lol since the ACH banking system takes 2 days for settlement we have to resort to using Venmo for pseudo instant payments and other such things it’s inelegant but it’s not new

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz coinbase is being privately valued at like $80 billion so maybe already happened

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz I miss the simpler times when people were making paper cash for single bitcoins

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz lmao go find that wallet!!

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz maybe I think a lot of smart ppl on this site are too down on crypto for no reason you don’t have to buy into the ancap politics of crypto hardliners to know there’s some room for productive experimentation & alternatives to state issued currency and the normal finance system

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz personally I’m not really interested and don’t find the math fun so I just keep small reserves of Bitcoin and eth and keep an eye for yield farming opportunities Im the other kind of tech bro I.e. AI maximalist

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz exactly

@VivaLaPanda_ @koaleszenz everything productive ever was first called a toy and it’s hard to tell which ones will ultimately end up being more than toys

cringe https://www.idrlabs.com/adhd-spectrum/test.php

@thoughtomata few questions

@0xrohan true this quiz isn’t that great I’m still in awe at their male/female decision making one tho

@andrej_haulis based

@0xrohan loool have u seen my thread on it?

@0xrohan https://x.com/tszzl/status/1296268370858385408?s=20

@BroductManager bro do you work for pfizer

@monodevice 21% red ... onio we're gonna need to talk

@cosmicoptima i think they're mostly culturally right wing ish and want to remain illegible/unpunishable/unlabelable and that's kind of the point you'd have to study them for a bit to come to that conclusion and most people wouldn't put in the time
