@rglpwx @PaulSkallas its a joke lad

@AOCummies yeah same anyone i unmute i will eventually be forced to mute again

@rglpwx @PaulSkallas ok yeah everyone does it but skallas is making fun of the inclination

@ilikeadamsmith i think there's more to be gained from that line of inquiry, but everything i see on here is traversing well trodden ground

@blamelessjay don't necessarily need a new metaphor but ppl gotta stop going through these basic talking points like they're supposed to blow ppls minds just dig deeper w the same metaphor

it seems like most people have an eschatological frame where if they fix their life problems and work through their psychological issues they will become ecstatic all the time otoh i'm pretty much confident that no matter what my situation i will be mildly discontent https://x.com/0x49fa98/status/1086446012594438144

yet again i am restating amazon leadership principles,,

however im willing to concede it may be adaptive to believe that fixing x,y, or z will finally make us happy bc it drives people to do a whole lot of x,y,z

@ollybot_redux there was some guy on the lesswrong boards making a shitton of money buying naked puts

@eigenrobot @bronzebarbarian @gigafelon @PstafarianPrice yeah i follow just about everybody who interacts with me positively even once or twice

@grantadever @ollybot_redux regardless if you were buying march expiring puts in late january you woulda done great

@nicholatian @eigenrobot @bronzebarbarian @gigafelon @PstafarianPrice CARRR LOSSS

@alth0u bro why is this adult man talking about this basic bitch YA novel like it's finnegan's wake or something

@alth0u buddy you don't need an espresso for that

@alth0u oh yeah lol i see this went viral thought it might be some confused lowbie twitter account

@billpshort @alth0u dont get me wrong its fine. when you're 13

@billpshort @alth0u it's actually fucking incredible how blatantly it copies star wars lmao

@TeddyRaccovelt @aquariusacquah @homiesteader to be clear tho there very much was apocalyptic reporting and guesswork on people dying in china. they local bosses did cover up the viral spread early on but not nearly at the scale that people were implying

@TeddyRaccovelt @aquariusacquah @homiesteader and just from the fact that businesses were open over there in like mid2020 we can guess that they really did contain the pandemic to what degree the numbers were fabricated i'm not sure. personally i have no reason to believe the official numbers are orders of magnitude off

subtweets are generally bad bc you are amplifying negative vibes that should be directed at one person across the whole TL

this itself is a subtweet 😊

this however is good https://x.com/nathanael_gould/status/1382087668637564928?s=20

all tweets are in fact an infinite cascade of subtweets, based on a single Prime Tweet posted by God

@Noahpinion please touch grass

@Noahpinion did you touch it in preparation

@AOCummies “just” a 20% rate lmao

@Noahpinion @eigenrobot @rglpwx HBD btw!

@lisatomic5 @parafactual ^

so “model free” algorithms are definitely still learning a world model right

@bowserbot2 hehe

@bowserbot2 lmao i like how google NLP decided this is the most important info on the whole page and it was right.

it’s also clear that GPT-3 had some sort of world model

imo, and this is pretty blackpilled, but pure ectogenesis is the only thing that will save birth rates in the western world https://x.com/antirobust/status/1382108722646818817

@rglpwx various pointed questions

@guywhits I have read it lemy

@nectarina12 i could be wrong but it seems plenty of people don’t have kids because pregnancy is very physically taxing moreover even if there’s a small fraction of “pronatal” families, these families are limited in the number of kids they can have at a time by biology

@parafactual moreover what they generally mean by this is like “subject yourself to the rigors of the market and not public opinion”. But imagine thinking the market isn’t mostly just public opinion 😂

@ollybot_redux ok if programming is as fun to you as video games you have some sort of superpower

@leominkus Artificial wombs are way less fucked up than surrogacy, we can probably design a postnatal hormone cocktail for the last point — you may be right

@carrr_losss @bowserbot2 wtf you mean these computations aren’t happening in the spirit realm??

if you aren’t taking bootlegged J&J doses you’re barely even a man https://x.com/AlanMCole/status/1381960271749599236

@rkesteva yet you’re still doing it lol

@rkesteva sure it’s a monopoly agreed but the point being UX on the business end matters nil they have enough engineers and designers to optimize this to hell and back and they don’t do it

@rkesteva the fact that all their talent is being spent on ads ranking and user growth but not ad buying reveals something interesting about the evolutionary pressures on these big companies

@disconcerta based

@valueless_user Sorry what’s LTIDS?

@valueless_user but yeah generally agree, it’s just bias vs variance tradeoffs when you make the model explicit

@leaacta I stay winning https://x.com/tszzl/status/1381347965025968131

@TetraspaceWest Eve

@extradeadjcb @0x49fa98 does the timescale really matter though

@natal_female lmao what is this

@finnonthegin an extremely good model when dealing with commerce the incentives are uncontroversial and the actors generally rational

@finnonthegin true. but it’s a mistake to conflate random twitter guys with the executive suites of big tech. No wonder Facebook hired nick clegg

@ollybot_redux correct

@ollybot_redux sometimes you just really want a ripe pomegranate in a country where they just don’t grow and that’s when the markets provide 😍

@andrej_haulis @nectarina12 true although the procedure seems dangerous

@ITBeHa @ollybot_redux seriousposting is a crime and must be saved for only the Best

@MiloJKing why would the FDA ruling matter in Europe?

@gbrl_dick adam would rather that we produce more heroin per annum than go to space

@guywhits @ModeledBehavior @elidourado that's where the best rotations happen sweet lemy

@midwit100 sniped

@AdsoOfBelk dwarf fortress hits different than rimworld

how fucked up are artificial wombs?

damn I wish I could get run over by a waymo for the clout

ftr I think they would be less fucked up than surrogacy they are in every sense of the word, profaning the sacred but then again. what isn’t lol. we’re also like a heel turn away from machines that replicate the human mind

is the womb more sacred than the mind?

@95thoughts yeah it brings back the Malthusian world would that be the most awful thing?

@AOCoomies he’s been reincarnated several times @TeddyRaccovelt

@Steve75587124 with AI you can mass produce people like entities near infinitely way more than artificial wombs would get you

@maxisawesome538 nobody’s ever in control of technology

@TeddyRaccovelt @AOCoomies The name of a man is a numbing blow from which he never recovers

@pee_zombie she describes it as symbiosis but it's more like parasitism 🤔

yeah this is fucked up https://x.com/lisatomic5/status/1365097311643201540

wtf why can't i have my mechanistic understanding of the world and a deep sense of purpose too

@eigenrobot @selentelechia exowombs don't imply brainwashing or genetic modification for compliance or w.e. you can do those things without exowombs

@nkh1l lol

@PstafarianPrice @eigenrobot @selentelechia i mean i hear ya on the state schools but isn't china literally stealing uyghur children and re-educating them in camps to believe that their parents religion is evil, ccp is supreme etc? it's not like that level of depravity would only be possible with exowombs

@PstafarianPrice @eigenrobot @selentelechia so i guess my campaign slogan is wombtanks for every man and woman! make em cheap and decentralized so govs have no inherent advantages

@alth0u muh ray tracing

@alth0u i think game devs haven't really been able to do much interesting stuff with the new resources no new modalities

@alth0u photorealism clearly has diminishing returns VR is only just reaching maturity and most of the interesting innovations in games over the last 10 years is in the gameplay + multiplayer formats than graphics

@VectorOfBasis @LiminalLogic how can a pesticide be inherently evil?

@VectorOfBasis @LiminalLogic and maybe there’s a NICU somewhere saving baby hitler from dying

@VectorOfBasis @LiminalLogic one thing I’ll say is that technology can definitely have properties that change the nature of humanity. AI is centralizing. the internet is generally decentralizing. Depending on which kind of governance you like you may consider these evil

@machubox yes if you have the courage of your convictions

@bowserbot2 @ChanaMessinger lmao

@ChanaMessinger guess the amount of holes they dig is really not the rate limiting factor

one nice thing about MLE jobs is that the returns are very asymmetric. you can end up moving metrics a lot with tiny modeling changes that require some good intuition but barely any work and once you hit that jackpot for the quarter or w.e. you're just chilling

@rglpwx idk the other ICs seem to be heavily graded just on the amount of code they pump out, which seems way harder

@RichardMCNgo @pee_zombie @alt1na1 lmao wtf

@RichardMCNgo @pee_zombie @alt1na1 hmm this might be Lindy maybe symbolic manipulation is just superior to the mind's eye

wtf is going on https://x.com/RichardMCNgo/status/1383146983582486528

what is the relationship of people with aphantasia to visuospatial IQ what is the relationship of those who claim not to have an internal monologue to verbal IQ

@metakuna idk it's probably something just not as simple as we think

@AdeleDeweyLopez @metakuna interesting when i took this test i use that method alongside the more visual rotational intuition

@simonsarris lmao

@simonsarris definitely agreed but like any complex system it takes experience more than advice to figure out it's almost necessary that you go through college once before you can say "ahhh i wasted the whole thing"

@simonsarris however by that same logic i think even if you're stumbling around like a moron in a top college your odds of serendipitously finding cool opportunities are way higher. that's how it was for me

after all we mostly solved geometry via symbolic manipulation https://x.com/tszzl/status/1383147694957289472?s=20

@mariani_jr bro read my next tweet https://x.com/tszzl/status/1383230644826763264?s=20

@bowserbot2 looks like yes although i don't know if they tried to train it to completion or get useful results from it. more of an systems paper

@bowserbot2 yeah iirc common crawl was hitting its limit with GPT-3. the model was almost as big as the dataset doesn't mean you can't get mileage out of it for larger models but won't be optimal

@bowserbot2 hmmm i think the entire audio->text corpus of youtube would be much smaller than common crawl but not sure

@bowserbot2 yeaaaah maybe facebook really is listening

@bowserbot2 (i joke but only because the useful information content of spoken text is so low relative to compute cost of transcription models)

anyone ever seen or tinkered with turning apple's live photos into 3d renders

@noahzsolomon live photos, the thing that's like several exposures mashed into a gif

@asingleoat @bowserbot2 lol hardware acceleration for when someone says "i wanna buy"

@asingleoat @bowserbot2 wait this is dope take this idea to google asap

@aniiyengar wait you can't use drivers license?

@ZacharyHundley @_StevenFan yeah definitely the tech i'm thinking of but i'm wondering if anyone has implemented it with the existing live photos functionality. would be dope, probably great app

@aniiyengar oh yeah agreed but is this specific to crypto? you need drivers license pic to use paypal or venmo debit cards even robinhood if they cant find your background

@aniiyengar but overall point its kinda dumb how india's aadhar system is ahead of the US in digital identity management

@knrd_z @eigenrobot both can be true H1B hack reaches product market fit

@goblinodds this was hilarious to me bc it's the platonic ideal of exactly what you describe just a really complicated way to say "everyone but me is an NPC"

@sonyasupposedly yeah i'll come through

@mariani_jr apparently!

@TeddyRaccovelt hit me baby 1 more time

one fucked up thing about modernity is having a reasonable idea then immediately asking a search engine to scour the entire globe's worth of information only to find that someone else has thought of it

@leominkus creds to @gbrl_dick

cringe admissions from a shape rotator in college I would often opt for memorizing symbol manipulation for my math and physics classes because it’s much quicker to learn it’s quite clear to me that they’re also more brittle and easily forgotten than real spatial intuition

i can’t explain what a lagrangian does but I can perform it all day

@okarthik42 whoa weight off my back energy imo is a lot more spatially intuitive

@okarthik42 lagrangian mechanics is the thing that came to mind first, most of the multivar calc based proofs in E&M

tbc I meant lagrangian mechanics eg L = K - V

even if there is literally no physical meaning to the quantity I feel there’s still some visual intuition I’m missing https://x.com/ijalabko/status/1383734229742227461

also I’m pretty drunk so disregard. Hopefully I wake up and find lagrangian mechanics is ez pz to visualize

@okarthik42 true but once you can set total energy constant and start visualizing potential fields it starts to add up

@McQuinTrix 😠😡😠😡

@rglpwx @NateTheSpy agreed

@NateTheSpy figured it out 😊

there isn't much demand for local papers anymore because local v national has stopped being an axis of important cultural differences in the present day and going forward "local newspapers" will look more like people documenting various subcultures that may stretch continents

it's probably not a good plan to start a new newspaper for a chicago suburb, meanwhile there are people making a living online just writing about what's happening in some specific gaming community

@afterlxss true, some newspapers thrive online, but many also seem to be dying https://www.usnewsdeserts.com/reports/news-deserts-and-ghost-newspapers-will-local-news-survive/

@Hellachans then why are so many local papers dying? there must've been some impetus that gets them to fire staff and write national stories

@Hellachans it's not really at all that local stories are no longer important, it's more that people seem to be captivated by national news outside of their range of control

@mlanetrain lmao

the virgin modern horror psychological thriller intended to be unsettling but i'm too desensitized vs the chad jump scare

@finnonthegin this one is malice not ignorance lol most non lawyers could tell you what's wrong with this

@JakeWhoPosts yeah unless im misremembering doesnt killmonger successfully convince them to start intervening

@billpshort you think i browse these sweet bill

@Acre108 @ollybot_redux they should teach NGE in UI design classes

@powerbottomdad1 delet this

open secret tho: most people chase money for the glory / status rather than money https://x.com/powerbottomdad1/status/1384598431210131456

i remember @patio11 writing something abt how japanese companies skip one step and pay their employees directly in status (eg nice corporate housing, community, and benefits, but minimal salaries)

the urge to get rich is not dissimilar to the urge to win glory in battle sure it may serve some political goal but thats not why the average legionary signs up

@lalaAlicelala @monodevice @powerbottomdad1 nw i dont have piles of money so i dont qualify here

@antirobust bravery debate tho is gradeschool worse than public sentiment believes it to be? is academic science more fallible than the consensus

@AlecStapp the us numbers would be way lower in 2020

@MegaBasedChad lmao like hell i'm up early

uh oh tens of trillions of weights eg 1 order of magnitude off now https://x.com/MSFTResearch/status/1384189306726600709

@orthonormalist broadly defining legacy this could mean a lot of things

my content peaked years before i had followers https://x.com/tszzl/status/1104253215741218817

@mlanetrain lol this is way better than my 2019 shitposts

its better this way https://x.com/ferretbranca/status/1384755030398574592

your allegiance to the supply vs demand side of the economy is metaphysical at this point

ppl who consider earning as a necessary evil and spending as a fundamental good vs ppl who consider spending as a necessary evil and earning as a fundamental good

both in veneration of the technocapital god (demon?)

@Hellachans lmao

@Hellachans where would i be without my midnight schizoposting

@adjacentgrace disagree 😊 reinvesting one's wealth productively is a fundamental american virtue

@adjacentgrace a european makes a windfall and picks out an island to buy an american makes a windfall and figures out how to roll it into his or her next venture it's a compulsion born not of greed

@lalaAlicelala @adjacentgrace wtf no i love children! i want like 5 kids

@lalaAlicelala @adjacentgrace ofc you should invest in your kids and family 100% nobody can stop me from doing that when i have some but i think there are diminishing returns to it, like how much do kids really need?

@Hellachans @lalaAlicelala @adjacentgrace alls im saying i admire gates and others for donating most of their wealth and leaving only a respectable sum to each to their kids after they paid the boarding school tuition!

@Hellachans @lalaAlicelala @adjacentgrace true, and the custodianship over the wealth via the Foundation is something too but they definitely seem more committed to giving it away than most

@Hellachans @lalaAlicelala @adjacentgrace Andover or bust

you can tweet about politics, but at least have the common courtesy of being embarrassed about it 😋

@lalaAlicelala @Hellachans @adjacentgrace coming to ny in a few weeks

@n55939491957681 lmao

@eigenrobot it’s me I’m guy

@VectorOfBasis whoa

robbing a bank seems like such a quaint crime stealing physical cash is so low bandwidth. like we should just let em have it

'It runs a model with over a trillion parameters on a single NVIDIA DGX-2 node and over 30 trillion parameters on 32 nodes (512 GPUs). With a hundred DGX-2 nodes in a cluster, we project ZeRO-Infinity can train models with over a hundred trillion parameters.'

oh jeez oh fuck

this is by far the most interesting line of DL research i.e. hardcore systems stuff where we utilize datacenter resources better to run known architectures

@baandlibro @lalaAlicelala @adjacentgrace correct, if you become completely unmoored from scarcity it's rough

@powerbottomdad1 @adjacentgrace ok so then consider i'm not disagreeing w you i'm just framing two mindsets where most ppl fall somewhere in between

@powerbottomdad1 @adjacentgrace notice i said investing "productively"

@powerbottomdad1 @adjacentgrace im not cut out for that and i'm not saying that you have to start companies to be worth anything, that would be an incredibly shit mindset i'm talking about the generalized protestant work ethic. the compulsion to work to make things better over hedonism

@powerbottomdad1 @adjacentgrace maybe living like a puritan farmer is Not Good but those guys were onto something

@ITBeHa @adjacentgrace you just gotta see the % of wealthy people in france who inherited their wealth vs in the US

:o big if true https://x.com/jdoliner/status/1384949094326616074?s=20

@powerbottomdad1 @adjacentgrace and i say protestant here bc it's a more accessible cultural reference but i recognize something very similar in my grandparents (well the maternal ones)

@Jan_Hus_1369 yeah i think same

@Duderichy @lalaAlicelala @adjacentgrace @bryan_caplan i mean maybe haha but i don't think most parents who can afford to do otherwise will raise their kids as paupers barely above the poverty line

@Duderichy @Hellachans @lalaAlicelala @adjacentgrace honestly probably not a waste in many cases

@Rationalbot @adjacentgrace nw i wouldnt be caught dead owning S&P

@Human9b6c432f huh? the point is to run bigger and bigger language models

@OldDreyfusard @jdcmedlock yeah my earlier content is actually completely shit it's just this one that made me giggle

@nickcammarata lmao

@averykimball sup

@leominkus lmao so low T men do better on shape rotation? FUC

this research is a hate crime https://x.com/leominkus/status/1384969905217417218

@parafactual "What the hell is water?"

@KommiKomm true

@raskolnehkov lol same yeah

@jeff82874662 @bendreyfuss i think it can also just the way that airline hubs work they can probably pack a much bigger flight from from hub B to point C than directly from point A to point C eg stopping at the hub may have real economic benefits and not just price discrimination

@jeff82874662 @bendreyfuss ah i see yea thats price discrim

@jeff82874662 @bendreyfuss does http://skiplagged.com still work

@jeff82874662 @bendreyfuss its like legally edgy so makes sense they dont want to

@jeff82874662 @bendreyfuss i think technically buying the ticket comes with a contract that you're not intending to get off half way through the airlines sued the shit out of skiplagged for a while, not sure what happened there

@alt1na1 hmm how so isn't it a third monetary competitor to both china and US?

@alt1na1 it's interesting tho bc thiel has argued in the past that the dollar being the reserve currency hurts us

@leominkus @zeit_sinn hehe

@alt1na1 actually i might be misremembering, dont quote me on this someone had an edgy take abt this that i might've mistakenly ascribed to thiel

@ctjlewis @alt1na1 for example, the ongoing trade deficit with developing countries is caused in part by our reserve currency status generally you'd want capital flowing into developing countries not out of them

@eigenrobot have you ever seen black panther

@ctjlewis @alt1na1 yeah i'm just reporting the drawbacks that i heard Thiel (i think) go off about. imo it's a good deal

@Duderichy @alt1na1 no it's come back to me now it was him or at least he was dogwhistling it talking about how the US continually has capital outflows to china due to our "special status"

@FahadMAlam @eigenrobot @cheascake plz your pfp is violence

@ChrisExpTheNews is this hundoism @paul_hundred

@VivaLaPanda_ maybe most people would not find it either fun or rewarding i personally dont think it is lol. i think it's alright in pursuit of some other scientific or business goal

@VivaLaPanda_ then figure out a fun way to teach it and take a slice of the extra GDP you create

@bowserbot2 back when i was teaching we had to institute a no compile errors / syntax errors policy in office hours lol

@bowserbot2 i mean this was an intro OS class and ppl were like scoping their variables wrong

@parafactual as the number of autists in government goes down the quality plummets

so is the speciation of languages just like over

@rglpwx the english language may accumulate new coinage all the time. but there are no languages splitting off from english

@moultano aren't these mutually comprehensible? what makes you say they're not going to be in the future?

amazon & uber drivers peeing in bottles is a real problem and the lawmakers causing this can fix it and related problems by legalizing pay toilets 😊

@lalaAlicelala rt and the kind of TED talk bullshit i used to read ... 🤢

@lalaAlicelala like read a textbook or dont read nonfic at all

@Renew_Release lmaoooo

@Renew_Release this is amazing thank you

@grantadever @lalaAlicelala lmao yes, so glad i deferred all that wasted time indefinitely via years of dropping uninteresting garbage in pocket

@lalaAlicelala lmao

@lalaAlicelala fr ive moved past davos videos. i dont need to hear from those mfs who pay that swedish girl a couple million dollars to yell at them

@ded_ruckus best pharmaceutical industry in the world. countless lives saved tbd on best weapons tho

@ITBeHa nicerx

@ITBeHa a result of filtering for 99th percentile disagreeableness. when you make political ideas sacred only these kinds that revel in brutality will show up to say something contrary

@ITBeHa technocapital as a monster separate from humanity is one of the most useful constructions I’ve heard in a while. I’ve hardly read any Land but I felt the truth in that one and continue to think about it daily

@ITBeHa yeah duh!

@ITBeHa ppl could benefit from some more schizophrenia on the margin

STOP DOING UTILITARIANISM moral intuitions were not meant to be quantified years of synthesizing new EA cause areas yet no real world use found utilons? hedons? felicific calculus? THEY HAVE PLAYED US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS

the latter isn’t as dumb as you think https://meltingasphalt.com/wealth-the-toxic-byproduct/

@jachaseyoung damn i need one of those

@QuentinMCody yes

@RealtimeAI plz dont try and divine any meaning from this shitpost, for your own good

@ded_ruckus @AClockwork_Crow yeah does F-35 even matter in the future of war. i think it's an open question

@ded_ruckus so is this the whole broken windows thing? i break all the windows in the city and we create a lot of demand for windowmakers -- so what? is this a productive activity?

@ded_ruckus imo the flow of valuable goods and services is indeed the important bit. i don't doubt that consumption patterns have created value on the margin -- after all isn't NASA credited with bootstrapping the semiconductor industry? -- but probably not in the general case

@powerbottomdad1 found the guy https://x.com/powerbottomdad1/status/1384598431210131456?s=20

@mechanical_monk .

@ded_ruckus i mean any result that comes to the answer that we don't know if breaking all windows is good or bad seems suspicious to me

@ded_ruckus true but i think in these cases all that's missing is the unpriced positive externality of industrialization -- there's nothing inherently good about getting ramped out to produce more textiles per year other than the fact that ...

@ded_ruckus that ramp up will instill a bunch of tacit knowledge for my populace to become rich, as already demonstrated by other countries. china knows to ban foreign software and shore up local software demand because it *knows* software expertise has positive externality

@ded_ruckus in this way these countries are redirecting demand -- but what would be more efficient under our common understanding of economics is to allow access global markets but subsidize the local product. the rerouting of demand is incidental to produce more externality

@ded_ruckus moreover this is development economics funny money b/c in a stable state no country can predict the future of technology or what local industries they need to subsidize to have a well situated populace only bc there is such a large dev gap between say china, US is this possible

@rglpwx yes

@powerbottomdad1 whoa it’s already here!

SSRIs -- fucked up, messing with the natural chemistry of my brain, dystopian happy soma pills, only taken by the bugmen amphetamines -- love em, would recommend to anyone, just a lil pick me up haha

had a guy mention "SSRI zombies", "fluoride stare", and "gotta pick up my adderall" all in the same sentence

@Duderichy ya i 100% believe it lol just trolling a bit

@pattern_boi based

@Duderichy i hear it causes like severe withdrawals for some ppl who try and stop which may last for months so idk only try it if you really need something to change i guess

@haus_cole smh i even retweeted this. at this stage in my twitter life everything i say is just a subconscious repost

the real cost of bad stonk valuations is no longer in lives lost, farmers starving but just untold amounts of wasted time extracted from talented workers who might've been doing something useful instead

@VR_Cuttlefish ya speculating on shitcoins is not pro social you don’t have to convince me there’s some value in decentralized software tho. I think NFTs are genuinely cool

@Hellachans Yeah which genius could’ve predicted 10% loss after a year of like 500% gains

@Duderichy @AlexandrovnaIng @_djpn @gigafelon 🥰🥰🥰

@Hellachans lmao this is how all political analysis should be in the future

@Hellachans just analyzing completely nonexistent coalitions

@eigenrobot didnt mr. buddha at least leave his family lots of wealth and servants and whatnot

@bowserbot2 @moultano he will become a living god

imo one of the greatest blackpills submitting an academic paper for the first time was just like how little context the reviewers had and how much they were just taking my word on things lol

and this was at a very good conference high resource conference

@BarneyFlames ah yeah that makes a lot of sense my paper was pretty heavy on chemistry x ML so there may not have been many experts on this
