@telmudic @powerbottomdad1 yeah so this is not an avenue to say convert 7-8 figures into renown. maybe making a lot of targeted local donations, but in most coastal cities where rich ppl live that sum of money will be instantly forgotten

@powerbottomdad1 @telmudic i will maybe get to low 8 figs but it’s besides the point. the conversion is hard / nonexistent real renown only comes effortlessly via great accomplishments imo

@powerbottomdad1 @telmudic i would choose famous 90% of the time but only if it’s for the right reasons ie I did something of value. Being famous for something bad is way worse than not being known at all

@powerbottomdad1 @telmudic part of the genius of the ender novels. his “xenocide” rebranding

@ctjlewis @powerbottomdad1 @telmudic nah, there are entrepreneurs, scientists, artists materially worth nothing with far more respect and power than the trust fund kid Paul graham explains the difference here better than I could http://www.paulgraham.com/cities.html

@ctjlewis @powerbottomdad1 @telmudic that’s not at all the argument he’s making tho, did you read it?

@ctjlewis @Hellachans @powerbottomdad1 it would make the heads of mortals explode

@mattparlmer more failure modes

@halvorz pillows -- Not Lindy

@halvorz >The earliest recorded use of the modern human device dates back to the civilizations of Mesopotamia around 7,000 BC. ok nvm ignore

@halvorz i think the human head-neck-back system is just designed shittily but what do i know

@iamnotasophist @alth0u inductive bias assuming continuous function

@alth0u impossible to integrate information without bias

@alth0u if you see a lightning strike and thunder clap it's the narrative bias that leads you to assume a relationship between the two bias and prior may be statistically different terms but also indistinguishable irl with no prior you can't make use of new information

if you don't argue with me i will just invent new guys to argue with. your choice

one way in which the online has ruined me is that i find it impossible to pay attention when people are talking UNLESS it's in an argumentative / combative stance

@BlackLabOlive watched tenet a while back

@replicaofself exaggerating a bit but my attention span for conversation is generally low

@NLRG_ thats just true

@Duderichy @NLRG_ thats just true https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/n5TqCuizyJDfAPjkr/the-baby-eating-aliens-1-8

@Duderichy @NLRG_ unironically a great read btw, one of my favorite things yud has written

"this person is a literal child" ok just say you hate kids and get on with it thats not a reason not to engage

if anything you should be more patient and magnanimous

@lalaAlicelala xplain alice

@lalaAlicelala idk about you but i was happily arguing online at age 16 and ppl convinced me of a great many things i wasnt very smart then but i was still thinking more clearheaded than many adults lol

@lalaAlicelala it doesnt even have to be an "argument" like we're just discussing shit in a circle around a campfire. socratic af

@lalaAlicelala no i completely agree im specifically talking about ppl who get mad at a specific mutual for saying some incendiary shit online and then retorting with "theyre a literal child" like however you look at it thats an L

@TeddyRaccovelt ya absolutely, its important for the kids' intellectual development im not gonna get my ego all wrapped up in it obviously thats just cringe debate is a form of education

@plesmasquerade nice

yeah im just trying to argue rn. you got me

i am the child in question

@parafactual btw the united states is itself a naive attempt at a utopia and why it's near holy verse to call it "an experiment in democracy" the concept is further embedded in the constitution via federalism and devolution of rights to the states via 10th amendment

@parafactual each state is meant to be a "laboratory of democracy" this entire form of government was rationally designed by a group of philosophers and statesmen so it's inherently un-american to say it's not possible to make improvements or create utopias

@sonyasupposedly my remarks are wearing tshirt and shorts

@halvorz why does it only matter when the water is acidic?

@wannabegroncho you can't have shipboard weapons because then the ship becomes a military vessel and has to abide by different laws or something like that iirc might have changed since then

@wannabegroncho yeah its a real story lol

@wannabegroncho yeah so while its illegal to have guns many crews still do just for safety. in this case i think captain phillips specifically didnt want any its important to remember that piracy 250 miles off the coast was unprecedented, not something that anybody thought could happen

@wannabegroncho the captain phillips incident is the only time pirates managed to board an american vessel in 200 years, i dont think anyone was seriously concerned about it iirc they attack poorer countries whose navies might not care as much

@wannabegroncho dealing with some very ambitious/stupid pirates

@valueless_user @halvorz ah i see

@PowerMacG4Cube i think the mall itself is called the Oculus and it's absolutely awesome

@PowerMacG4Cube all the buildings in the WTC area are just amazing, but completely empty for some reason

@wowholyfucking @halvorz no i think chronic back issues are pretty common in ppl sedentary or otherwise, maybe aggravated by sleeping with no pillow / bad pillow shitty routing of some of the nerves in the upper back

@ilikeadamsmith liberalism v2 just dropped: now with a forgiveness mechanism

@actually_grimes @sashintweets @The_Geraldoid too doomer about the ability of kids to think. not lindy

@jeff82874662 @Lithros @parafactual nah this is a silly qualm that sets the bar for "utopian vision" so high that not even Marx could reach it. he never claimed that communism would remove all human suffering and actively made fun of other reformers he considered utopian.

@jeff82874662 @Lithros @parafactual and if it's the degree of change you think is the core issue then liberalism can easily meet the requirements for radically rewriting the world in its own logic

@jeff82874662 @Lithros @parafactual fukuyama

@jeff82874662 @Lithros @parafactual i can happily imagine plenty of feudal lords ranting away about how the liberal program doesn't take into account "human imperfection"

@station_537 culture devoted to mercantile practice above all

@parafactual qt him next time, teddy's friendly

@parafactual but yeah lol go for it. i'm sure you've already had your first "conversion"

@asingleoat @parafactual true

@_AlastairX_ @jeff82874662 @Lithros @parafactual if you literally define "utopia" as "impossibly good society" then you're just interpreting @parafactual's OP in a purposefully antagonistic way that removes all possibility of discussion. why would you assume that they literally want to implement impossibilities?

@_AlastairX_ @jeff82874662 @Lithros @parafactual they were using the phrase "naive attempts at utopia" to point in the general direction of conservative criticisms against whichever angle of progressive reform, which in their specific cases can of course be actually impossible

@micsolana why would you believe that technological progress is inevitable or infinite?

@micsolana btw this is the unstated godhead of transhumanism. the belief in a real tech tree available for humans to climb

@jeff82874662 @_AlastairX_ @Lithros @parafactual nah jeff you're committing the cardinal sin of twitter against the OP, eg interpreting unkindly under limited information and i'm not a fan of that

@Rationalbot yes lol this is an nrx argument

@QiaochuYuan how is this a rationalist thing and not just like idk an ancient cultural custom of many civilized societies? imperial-exam centric feudal china? material reward centric anglo-mercantile society? seems v strange to think that Yud psyopped extrinsic motivation

@MattDSegal @QiaochuYuan the entire rationalist nexus of thought rests on Hume's understanding that "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions"

"executive dysfunction is a psyop it just means you don't like what you're doing" ok but how come when i'm on vacation i watch 10 hours of TV a day and browse twitter

if my hearts true desire is to watch tv and browse twitter then i want my heart to shut the fuck up

@Rationalbot worth an experiment at least, yeah? low cost to buy it off a friend. find a reasonable way to measure performance / any withdrawal effects the next day

@Rationalbot fwiw ive never felt any kind of withdrawal

@bowserbot2 mfs didn’t use their brain to find someone to copy off of and it shows

@jeff82874662 @Lithros @parafactual btw this is explicitly a reactionary argument kek

@jeff82874662 @Lithros @parafactual marx and right wingers (sometimes convincingly) discuss: free capital flow of liberalism rewrites every aspect of human relations and society

@jeff82874662 @Lithros @parafactual free enterprise radically transforms the relationship between serf families and feudal lord to bourgeois and atomized proles

cars are so mother fucking stupid that they will literally become nonfunctional if you leave a light on overnight

idc how much you spend on it if your car can’t course correct basic mistakes and becomes nonfunctional because you left something on in the cigarette lighter it is dogshit. buy tesla https://x.com/michaelcurzi/status/1396640468667092994

@arctanno look into curriculum learning. Maybe search up GAIL

@arctanno funny you mention this, it’s very closely related to my research

@arctanno it’s indeed very hard to learn against an agent much better than the original or an environment too hard to randomly stumble find reward. you can mitigate with reward shaping / engineering. But otherwise you need an env that adapts itself to the learning needs of the agent

@powerbottomdad1 based

@powerbottomdad1 isn’t this just cruise control or am I misunderstanding?

@powerbottomdad1 ah yeah that’s pretty cool

@arctanno reward shaping would be like, ok you get some points for scoring a goal against the opponent even though you didn’t win. but you probably knew that

@powerbottomdad1 could also just put the car into park but I guess it’s a small added convenience

@powerbottomdad1 wtf did I just watch

@station_537 @FahadMAlam @prerationalist @mechanical_monk @amirism_ definitely some have more wiggle room than others, but i think most executives and capitalists are substrate rather than programmer

@station_537 @FahadMAlam @prerationalist @mechanical_monk @amirism_ im incredibly impressed when people manage to accomplish objectively good things within the confines of their incentives

@station_537 @FahadMAlam @prerationalist @mechanical_monk @amirism_ i've given up on any future government work, it's for the best

@jamest_lu @RobertHaisfield thank god

great metric for state capacity is whether or not your jurisdiction bans stuff like "surge pricing" "price gouging" etc

if they do ban it they're swiss cheese pussy ass populist losers who, in a crisis, will have no choice but to let you die

bullish on nyc because they managed to implement congestion pricing, an extreme electoral loser of a policy

@Hellachans idk are they? the axis i'm looking at is "accepting microecon" e.g. "roads are rivalrous" and "rideshare market prices are real"

@Hellachans i mean new york afaict doesn't ban surge pricing for rideshare

@Hellachans yeah thats what i thought you meant, but i guess the specific state capacity of a given jurisdiction is a compromise between all parties

@ctjlewis @goblinodds ug fine

@aquariusacquah @Noahpinion lmao

@nickcammarata there’s a point of twitter fame at which this becomes impossible 3 million tweet impressions a month * 1 second thinking abt you / impression * (1/3600 * 1/24) = roughly 35 days of thought

@justjoshinyou13 lol this paper looks quite sus re examining

@nickcammarata lol I will. Anything for discourse

@nickcammarata there’s a point of twitter fame at which the second q becomes impossible 3 million tweet impressions a month * 1 second thinking abt you / impression * (1/3600 * 1/24) = roughly 35 days of thought per month

@grantadever @nickcammarata 🥰

@Spatcholula read the second tweet

@Spatcholula love to see it

@arctanno it was pretty good. its my new rick and morty

@arctanno yeah, the animation is actually really good for an american show (the bar is very low)

starting my gaddafi-maxxing journey. lmk if you want any pointers

@arctanno oh and the other thing is the voice cast is star studded, even the most minor character is recognizable

@arctanno @mattroll_ the Netflix subs make me want to noose

@arctanno @mattroll_ but tbf I’m an eva autist who throws a tantrum if any word gets changed

@arctanno @mattroll_ yeah the rebuilds are shit but i like the art anyway

@telmudic even better

hmm...

@Nexuist @anonynaut lol that’s also true, lot of grandiose pronouncements about the death of globalism and JIT supply chains or whatever

@adjacentgrace ive never wanted a neuralink so bad as when this happens

@parafactual good at twitter is when u r favored by the AI gods

@telmudic this is my dads exact job description. he works like two hours a day and it’s mostly just yelling at people to use less cores

@R1Jack @telmudic I will not use less cores I will not live in a pod

@nickcammarata hmm

@nickcammarata my twitter usecase is primarily to make jokes, which will naturally be a more viral medium than fun philosophical threads on happiness, so higher impression:follower ratio should not be too surprising. and agreed you probably get way more replies

@nickcammarata all in all i am being instrumentalized by twitter whereas you are instrumentalizing twitter haha

@mechanical_monk @nickcammarata on some level i think it does, my tweet is my work, so an extension of me i guess? by this definition if i copy paste your thought verbatim and tweet it it is you getting the recognition

@mechanical_monk @nickcammarata https://x.com/nickcammarata/status/1397041114490621959?s=20

@mostaleoht @abettertake @zettlr yeah you are probably right, nearly anything can be spiritual if you look at it from the right angle. i wasn't in the right mood when tweeting this but it led to some good jokes so i probably won't delete it now

@abettertake you are talking about the demand-side, but i was talking about the production side the cult is the people working on it. the roam people literally live in a compound and many call them "roam cult"

@mechanical_monk @amirism_ im talking about the production side here, eg Roam cult, employees being instrumentalized to worship boring shit that is nonetheless highly profitable

@mechanical_monk @amirism_ so not necessarily consumerism

you can either work for a liberal tech company that lifted its name off of a random concept in hinduism or you can work for a conservative tech company that lifted its name off a random concept in Tolkien. those are your choices

@eigenrobot hey i never said abstract they're fictional magical artifacts and therefore "Tolkien concepts"

@koaleszenz i'm assuming it flags these things for further human review. i doubt you can contractually deny claims just because someone sounded sus on video. also i'm 90% sure its marketing gimmick

oh shit oh fuck i should've listened https://x.com/peter_shoes_/status/1396857162857697280

tfw im a clubhouse room with the boys and my skip manager joins not good for heart health

say what you will about twitter spaces,,,

@MegaBasedChad yeah awesome dude, love him still need some context separation to stay sane

@eigenrobot wouldnt even be surprised honestly

@eigenrobot vast economic growth is usually accompanied by vast increases in inequality yeah? but i imagine the poorest would be way better off

@Conaw plot twist is that i'm extremely easy to win over, i'll go and trial it

the strange thing about this is that you probably CAN gain some minor amount of signal from the video abt whether or not the person is lying but the ROI would never ever be worth it https://x.com/Lemonade_Inc/status/1396868192019099655

gotta run these super compute and labor intense deep learning pipelines on video datasets, and for what? 0.5% increase in recall?

if they really do find this video analysis endeavor profitable then that must mean that AI lie detectors are really fucking good in practice or it may just be detecting some stupid thing like "the video is very short and there's no face in it"

claims of bias are plausible but meh machines optimized on making money tend to be cruder but more objective than humans anyway

@eigenrobot lemonade probably does their ML stuff in-house because I think that's their whole value add I wouldn't be surprised if it "adds value" but like i said in the OP i wouldnt put it past them to do the ROI calculation pretty poorly

@eigenrobot experimentation platform is easy at scale but measuring current and future human labor costs is hard

also why r people assuming that autism traits will get flagged by the machine. why would they be predictive

yeah this is the only way this would ever make sense on an ROI basis lol https://x.com/JonnyLomond/status/1397485757032456196?s=20

@actually_an_alt doesn't that seem like a sort of sketchy result? can't you personally tell when someone is lying, or at least enough to raise a suspicion? would bet an inordinate amount of our brain is dedicated to language games and figuring out deception so i'd be surprised if that's true

@actually_an_alt also ML can sometimes randomly surprise everyone by performing superhuman on some set of tasks. for example it can get to like 99% at predicting biological sex based on vasculature samples of brain tissue, whereas its nearly impossible for neurologists

ladies and gentleman. they got me https://x.com/tszzl/status/1397480928386207745

@nathanael_gould true

@yudhanjaya @AgainstGop @aquariusacquah @keccers not according to my sweet grandma 🙂

@alt1na1 nice

@actually_an_alt not easy obviously but the arms race situation should mean that we should be able to tell when someone is lying badly

gotta stay ahead of the game ...

anyway i've always found this observation kind of funny because I think there are plenty of successful rationalists, especially if you start counting rationalist-style thinkers who've never explicitly gave themselves that cringey title

Bill Gates is the godfather of effective altruism, Elon Musk explicitly set about trying to mitigate humanity x-risk stuff, the entirety of OpenAI are card carrying SSC cultists, Patrick Collison, etc

@arctanno yeah but i gotta name examples that people will recognize, i'm sure there's a long tail of tons of happy successful "rationalists"

@babarganesh @SAshworthHayes its always sus listening to neurologists trying to geometrize their findings but yeah maybe

@rglpwx yep. broadly i would categorize them as the subset of people who grew up mostly reading scifi and wanting to make it real

@rglpwx @aquariusacquah i got a feeling maybe i angrily unfollowed and forgot bc theres no way mr silver would take a half measure like that

@chiselinc what wld you say is the description of Ender? he seemed like kind of a blank slate to me. medium temperament, medium compassion, high intelligence

@rglpwx @aquariusacquah nate pyrite waffles on predictions but never on saucy twitter drama

im not saying its bad bros its in my top 5 favorite scifis definitely

this is how we strike back bros https://x.com/alth0u/status/1398081462335729666

@chiselinc yeah it only works when they're actually geniuses lol

@chiselinc but i don't think he was very reserved at all. he was outgoing enough to be a platoon leader and then a squad leader very early on he understood social dynamics in autistic analytical manner but he wasn't "withdrawn"

achieve humor @ scale. you still wont get anywhere near "hot girl on instagram engagement" but we can cope

@gbrl_dick i will simply find the Gifted Kid gene and turn it off

@_Nick__Elodeon_ loser!

god i love injecting thoughts into heads 5 million times a month

@alth0u whats the conversion rate

@alth0u trying to find the optimal pareto balance between Ps in Vs and Ts in Hs

@w_____redacted also bc i want the carbon credits to be listed on robinhood for the memes

it is a truth universally acknowledged, that only the most dogshit tweets go viral https://x.com/tszzl/status/1395586663640932353

@pupperio thx boss

@RyanQasem dune maybe

guy who emails physics departments w his theory of everything

@jachaseyoung this would not be the right way to go the right way to go would be to publish it on arxiv and see what happens. would be awesome definitely

@jachaseyoung i genuinely think it would be much easier for an einstein type freelance scientist today than ever before, with the free flows of information. don't need to find a patron, just post it online

@insipidwanker the modal guy who does this has gotten a lot dumber due to the decrease in communications cost

@insipidwanker yah rip ramanujan

the problem is that the cost of communication has dropped immensely requires much less effort to email your crank theories to poor leonard susskind or whoever. signal to noise has gone to shit https://x.com/insipidwanker/status/1398104817453633537?s=20

that being said i wouldnt be surprised at all if the next breakthroughs come from outside the traditional system, and i think we have a robust internet publishing scheme to support freelance scientists i mean Nature Communications alone, or arxiv

@powerbottomdad1 yeah literally just blogpost/ whitepapers ecosystem is huge

@ecree429 how hard is it to get an endorser? is it just anybody with an arxiv account? gotta be hundreds of thousands of ppl right

@ecree429 is the field broadly just computer science? i mean i have to imagine you can message a few academics on twitter and someone will give you access

@tapwateriscool lmaooo

guy who says "what if gravity works differently at large scales"

@brawnyman713 oh wow i didn't know it took so long i guess its still hard sifting through all the junk at internet scale

@robertnlee thats actually awesome to hear

how is a "central bank blockchain" better on any axis than just having a database seriously asking https://x.com/justicemate/status/1398135235968077825

this is really all some of u have going for u https://x.com/dril/status/1147030507621761025

@lisamahapatra adderall makes me more interested in the things i'm already interested in

@KommiKomm @lisamahapatra wait but i just said it does the opposite

@__frye @lisamahapatra this will create an infinite feedback loop of interest

Einstein was the greatest shape rotater of all time

@alth0u lol iirc einstein was not nearly as good at math as some of his colleagues, mans was just floating on pure thought experiment

@alth0u had to consult with Ricci and others before he got the tensor math down

@ChrisExpTheNews @alth0u ofc lol 'his colleagues' being some of the foremost experts in math and physics

he was so good at it he started rotating things that werent even shapes

@Treelochana hahahah

@actually_an_alt @alth0u whoa i never said he wasnt good at math. just that he didnt reach the level of some of his contemporary math geniuses like eg David Hilbert (a god amongst men)

@Treelochana its a meme because i took one of those online iq quizzes and got a perfect score on the shape rotation part. its a seemingly useless skill (upstream of a lot of useful skills obv) which is why its even funnier

@alth0u @actually_an_alt based is this MWI?

@granularshroud @lisamahapatra where to get it and what dose?

@Treelochana https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/FSIQ/

@lisatomic5 true. penrose is definitely up there

@nickcammarata yeah i got some long parts

@nickcammarata sorry i had to make this joke sorry

@parafactual poor sops been instrumentalized

the golden age of 20th century physics just hit different

greatest stretch of achievement that human civilization has seen thus far

we may be living through a time when the secrets of intelligence and conscious thought are unraveling but its all very postmodern tbh. doesnt hit the same as understanding the cosmos https://x.com/sshvvk/status/1398388279548911622?s=20

@OswaldHurlem lmfao

@_MPTX_ i mean its pretty clearly just bad and goes against the spirit of education it's not some kind of positive sum chicanery you might pull off in the real world

@negativegucci im not even good

@joe_philleo wdym?

@_MPTX_ many people steal from and defraud everyone around them and never face consequences tbh

@_MPTX_ in school the chicanery comes in via getting on the teachers good sides and getting leeway from them

@Duderichy the lower a countrys corporate tax rate the higher its state capacity

@beybladesex @eghn_ yeah its a joke related to this and the related observation that men seem to be better at it than women

fact check: true

"The thing about machine learning scientists is that they never admit defeat because all of their problems can be solved with more data"

@natal_female wtf why wasn't i around in 1920s

@AgainstGop @jeff82874662 @gaitanalyst jeff is about to get so Bhishma-pilled

@alth0u https://x.com/tszzl/status/1288383752067067904?s=20

ADHD - breadth first search autism - depth first search

@aniiyengar no clue

@cauchyfriend hmm ive never seen people using R^2 to measure performance on machine learning regression tasks usually use like MSE or something

A* https://x.com/egregirls/status/1398525935259947009?s=20

ok so if you accept the "model minority myth" narrative at face value, what's the bias they're trying to point us to? that we should narrow our positive racial biases to indians, taiwanese, and chinese? kind of based

@MegaBasedChad unfollowed and blocked

just joined a discord server dedicated to revolving polytopes

found my people

@jerry_dot_ai i just kind of guessed at the top 3 but yeah kind of surprising to me about the filipinos tbh

@_djpn @ZolbarSakusun lol exactly

got my first citation 😎

@perceptions420 im a physics major :)

@ferretical good juan

you people wont believe this but my research is literally about rotating molecules

@beigeoak @perceptions420 im an indian man who is a physics major :)

i mean i hear this but blocc chain didnt invent cryptographic safety tbh. you can still do this in a centralized way https://x.com/ctjlewis/status/1398310431081574400?s=20

@ctjlewis can't they manipulate the ledger in whatever way they want if they own the blockchain?

@dysmemic oh i see thats interesting, but would anyone go for this? like eg making an ERC20 token the gas fees and lack of control probably would be too crazy for this to be an attractive option

@yevbar hmm is eth centralized on AWS miners? ive never heard this before

@bowserbot2 what kind of transparency? it's probably not a desirable system quality to have ppls identities and transactions be public

@killerstorm yeah that's interesting, but this is just a matter of exposing the correct API to third parties right? to get txid's and stuff

@nickcammarata we've lost our way with the bell curve meme. making the midwit zoomer guy add "-erino" to things is a key element

@mormo_music @bowserbot2 i think all ACH debits and credits go through the Fed, so this would just be a majority of bank transactions

@dysmemic why is that? would gas prices not reach similar levels if it were more used? and if not would the network be insecure?

schizophrenia - turning up the softmax temperature dissociation - network partition https://x.com/nickcammarata/status/1398537905967095809?s=20

@linkychad @yevbar yeah doesnt seem like it would ever be profitable

@linkychad USDC transaction fees are insane

@guywhits neurotypicals not even searching

@con_healy oh interesting, so the analogy is weight decay then

@allaboutchemist do you do conformer gen stuff too?

@ctjlewis who is dogging you?

@PPAREUS @ErfanOfNazareth yeah i made the totally wrong joke here

dont fact check this pls i know its a different class of search

@JackMastrangelo similar, conformer generation

@davethepants wat means mstp?

@ctjlewis the future cyberpunk thing is an actual benefit and i'm not sure he was saying that in response / dismissing you

its actually iterative deepening DFS pls ignore the prev shitpost https://x.com/egregirls/status/1398525935259947009?s=20

@leepavelich owned

@95thoughts oo explain do you mean prescription stimulants?

CHAZ accomplished in a month more than what charter cities institute has in decades 😌

broke: Patri Friedman woke: Raz

@aquariusacquah shoutout to lambda

@cauchyfriend :'( sorry buddy

@JeffJMason lol i actually cited the wrong institute, i was thinking of patri friedman's thing. but tough luck buddy

@ProfoundPilled the wall just got 10 feet taller

oh, so you've decided to tweet the main findings of your paper as a thread filled with reaction gifs

@cauchyfriend @BlckCatBlckSky yeah its a bad situation and it sucks that that happened. im just trolling in the OP

imagine being george rr martin, seeing what kind of horrors HBO inflicted on game of thrones, and being like sure haha sure i'll sign off on doing three different successor series with you

they ruined him with stacks of cash

@jeff82874662 put down the iliad and finish my thread jeff

so silly honestly. dude is like 70 and he trades being remembered as the next tolkien for like $50m

@andrej_haulis i will not take the bait

@rchitectopteryx its ok nobody was gonna remember peter jackson anyway

broke: traffic ticket citation woke: academic citation bespoke:

@KHicksEfficient such a bad excuse imo, like it can't be his first time realizing that it's hard to wrap up literally everything, just fuckin do the best you can

@KHicksEfficient like yes we all understand that history never ends, that it's a series of iterative games, i will happily accept that every minor character introduced in the series is not going to receive a careful ending

@hauchk blocked and reported

@KHicksEfficient i mean sure ok dragons are nukes and white walkers are climate change, its unimportant, the idea is that human political travails are put in context by nature and technology

@KHicksEfficient if anyone can synthesize fantasy and politics its gotta be him

@SAshworthHayes sad state of affairs if so. money warping and destroying greatness

@powerbottomdad1 @jerry_dot_ai ah ive heard about this actually, dont they like exclusively hire filipinos for cruises staff? or do you mean like fishing vessels or what

@noahaskell starting to think so

@derivedbatch hm did george fail on the world building front? i think he did a very compelling job, he has an amazing mind for history and politics too. less so on the languages, but thats fine w me tbh

@powerbottomdad1 @jerry_dot_ai how many does this industry employ? bc i remember reading that a Maersk mega-liner can run with a crew of like 22 ppl

Amazon Go looks like it will never pay dividends the way it's going scales too slowly and i bet each store is taking millions of dollars in compute per year (theres only 30) will only work if it can be franchised out and the tech can fit a bunch of form factors at low cost

@richardzhu_ yeah the data labeling army has gotta be costing a fortune as well. but the real time CV inferencing and sensor fusion has gotta be a bitch

@ParrotRobot dont get me wrong the product seems magical to me, but the finance side of the project seem kind of unhealthy

>tfw no level of medical professional between nurse practitioner and full blown doctor

@harmonybuilder oh but there's absolutely a continuous distribution of both skill and expertise when hiring for software roles

@ChrisExpTheNews @simonsarris docs should be able to license the right to write scrips

@VividVoid_ @ChrisExpTheNews @simonsarris like bishops ordaining priests

@sjacksonz a D.O. is just a full blown doctor

@station_537 check out dem SLAs

@Duderichy the true FIREpill is to buy a big boat and start living in it

there are people much smarter and more accomplished than you watching stephen colbert monologues every night and cracking up

@Duderichy how much can the maintenance costs be if its mostly just sitting in harbor

@station_537 this image should be implied in all my poasts

@eigenrobot its gotten a lot more expensive than it used to be due to driver shortage (or something else idk)

@joe_r_Odonnell lmfao

they havent cunsoomed as much entertainment as you to develop finer tastes

@mccue can they write scrips?

@joe_r_Odonnell oh i assumed the person in the story was misremembering the title

@powerbottomdad1 adam sandler is fuggin epic

@VivaLaPanda_ lmao thank u

@reachtarunhere lmaoo

@rileyocallaghan @amasad i actually lol'd at "jon oliver mind control"

@PatrickDFarley @NasicaSerapio this is not amazon produced media i think

@architectonyx @NasicaSerapio i dont think thats the case at all lol, he decided he would never be that great at it and tried his hand at something else

@architectonyx @NasicaSerapio personally i did study physics at a top 25 college i dont think im that smart

@VivaLaPanda_ @jelbelz colbert report >>> late night

@jeff82874662 ive since abandoned my favorite autonomous grocery store

@guywhits so based

@VivaLaPanda_ @yevbar @linkychad yeah number of nodes hardly matters

@VivaLaPanda_ they don't need to literally share a database tho. it can be owned by the government and accessible via ACH api

you can't convince me that you can resect a whole temporal lobe and come out the same person

@EpicNate315 resect means remove

@AlfredDiffer @VivaLaPanda_ whoa you had temporal lobe resection? or some other kind of brain surgery?

@ProfoundPilled always with the contrarianism

not sure why people don't like this https://x.com/ByronYork/status/1398252818897719301

these are literally all good things to note

@St_Rev battleships should definitely be on the watch for cyberattack tho

@yasmeenbrain does it cap or reduce the intellectual capacity of the individual? surely something has to give if other brain regions are compensating

@Duderichy even so, if you are the result of a master-slave relationship between the two hemispheres than can function independently, doesnt preclude that it creates one integrated whole

@w_____redacted ye it would seem so

@AlfredDiffer @VivaLaPanda_ centralized blockchains arent trustless

@arctanno @Duderichy pull that shit up jamey

everytime you say "ive never met an X whos also Y" you're leaking information about your caste on the berkson's paradox pareto frontier 🥲

neil postman's head would just explode if he ever saw twitter

@NotComradeSnake looks like you understood it buddy :)

@nickcammarata @yashkaf @catherineols visual hallucinations seem a bit like turning up the softmax temp at the middle layers of the visual cortex (detecting edges where there are none, faces where there are none) i have no grand theory here but this paper seemed very well reasoned to me https://x.com/SissiPhys/status/1399071709458833408?s=20

@SawyerMiller10 perhaps it is

@beaugunderson @Duderichy damn

@AnikVJoshi thanks boss

@_Nick__Elodeon_ my sweet turmeric monster will speak all she wants

@alt1na1 based

@NamelessHero20 to be clear i know why they don't like this, i'm just calling them dumb

@station_537 lol ive been meaning to read that

@cateliseh suing Discord™

@mechanical_monk @BecomingCritter is that true? aren't you competing for eg twitter clout, success in the market, etc
