@selentelechia I need to make a twitter in group approved goodreads list

@halvorz @generativist shoot for the stars (Jurassic park) and land on the moon (Pleistocene rewilding)

@halvorz @generativist halvorz tryna break the speed run record for getting net worth to $1b and then back down to 0

@generativist @halvorz I’m not sure who else is a contender other than Elizabeth Holmes

@alt1na1 very sus post

@zebulgar dude there’s no gravity in space ? why would you build stuff there

oh shit oh fuck https://x.com/TurnerNovak/status/1407873222499090438

@eigenrobot watch Mob Psycho by the same writer. similar concept, but even better

@zebulgar isn’t this just a kind of due diligence? If you can’t answer their q’s why invest

@BarneyFlames this provocative YouTube guy

@BarneyFlames Just makes complex shitposts about the tech industry

@PippinReed1 he got fired for running an tech interview prep company at the same as being an interviewer at a major tech company

@jerry_dot_ai lol thats a little disappointing but i still love his performance art

@magicianbrain isn't it kind of implicit in a bunch of subjects

@ollyrobot @DistractedAnna @magicianbrain i just think there’s an endless list of potentially useful meta techniques so you should just teach normal subjects and hope the kids learn the meta methods most useful for them to deal with the material

@eigenrobot we will fight them in their mentions, we will fight them on the timelines,

@AOCoomies he went out in style, with the whole internet talking about him

@finnitejest disagree only because the true contrarian can keep finding nuances to legitimately disagree with in any narrative it’s not as simple as “with us or against us”

@finnitejest which coincidentally is what I’m doing here

@hythloday @generativist this joke gets a follow lol

@RiverTamYDN offshoring is a meme the good developers are here and also time zones matter

@lalaAlicelala absolute freedom is a false god!!

@Conaw @TeddyRaccovelt so on brand

@jeff82874662 ur going to the mars gulags for this one

@AOCummies this tweet is what kept me on this site for so long

@parafactual @Conaw @TeddyRaccovelt im also convinced you can prove the existence of music through a series of sufficiently beautiful notes

@TeddyRaccovelt @jeff82874662 jeffreys been coping ever since marsman tanked his buttcoin portfolio

been trying to come up with a joke about “sigma freud” for the last week

@monodevice you in sf today?

@monodevice tryna get lunch?

@MegaBasedChad is “global relevance” so important as to make up for your kids not believing in the things hundreds of generations of your ancestors did

@MegaBasedChad you can do something great locally

@0xrohan https://x.com/tszzl/status/1408158258192281600

@guituary it’s not about better

@notd4again where r u from?

@powerbottomdad1 @MegaBasedChad more aligned than my cohort for sure and the effect of the internet is complicated since it seems to make a lot of people feel more strongly about nationalism, local culture etc

@powerbottomdad1 @MegaBasedChad Modi wouldn’t be around without the internet

@acauchysequence my parents call me white washed all the time and they’re right

@alt1na1 @eigenrobot

@kuncmichal @powerbottomdad1 you misunderstand because I’m perfectly fine with these new values having grown up with them. I’m just a substrate running new software. But my parents and grandparents likely aren’t that happy w it and I wouldn’t be either

@R1Jack agreed. stay in China

@IanRountree @shaklakhani @rod_mallo yo dm me the deets lmao I’ll go work for them

@alth0u all distinctions are a matter of quantity rather than quality

creating D I S C O U R S E today

@R1Jack https://x.com/tszzl/status/1407994872485711873

@powerbottomdad1 @kuncmichal tbf that makes you some kind of immigrant

@Duderichy yeah your friends been memed by r/personalfinance boomer tier advice

@Duderichy buy stonks all day and then lever up and buy more stonks imo

@AOCummies Bro is this your third rewatch chill

can anyone in AV tell me: is any part of the controls and decision making stack using ML or does it stop at the perception layer

@andrej_haulis lol

@BrickOverton @Duderichy yaaa lol. I buy exclusively 3x levered s&p funds

@wiki_early_life ah that’s a good point

@BrickOverton @Duderichy you’re right it’s less efficient than buying LEAPs but less stressful for me

@alth0u these talks are p good because he talks about his olde netscape stories and his historical perspective is far more valuable than his ideas about AI

don't take this thread too seriously lol sometimes i try on new takes for size

@powerbottomdad1 first time

@UneasyCholo @carrr_losss @bungoman @LudditeHacker start one

@mattparlmer that's pretty cool actually

tfw

deleting that thread before it gets into Low Context Twitter but obv i'm trying to point out the tradeoffs more than saying all economic immigration is bad

@notlinear1 sad!

also when a thread creates literally hundreds of replies it becomes too high maintenance lol

@SkepticalAlpaca good plan

@mattparlmer my position came off as way more extreme than what i actually think + tooo many replies

@pupperio muting the thread digitally doesn’t really mute it in my mind tho lol

@Duderichy @BrickOverton I bought at the very bottom lol + compare last 5 years performance

@BasqueQuetzal I tried to add you didn’t work

@Duderichy @BrickOverton let’s say you bought in December. you’re up 25%

@BrickOverton @Duderichy doesn’t this thing keep fucking you in terms of capital gains

@Duderichy @BrickOverton right but even s&p can go to zero. you can probably find 50% unlevered funds out there

@Duderichy @BrickOverton so what makes s&p volatility magically the right amount? can pick anywhere across the curve

@Duderichy @BrickOverton odds are even in a doomsday scenario I don’t need to withdraw to make rent

@BecomingCritter @Duderichy @BrickOverton I mean December 2019 aka the worst time you could’ve bought

@Duderichy @BrickOverton zero is figurative

@bigbadbob234 @BrickOverton @Duderichy tastefully insane

guy just apologized to me on the street for being white

@ProfoundPilled dude made a completely appropriate joke and then he was like “sorry total white guy move sorry im so fucking white”

@jdcmedlock I told him it was too little too late

@alth0u https://x.com/tszzl/status/1408256433859174401

honestly the nuclear waste warnings are very Reddit solving problems that are not pressing at all

far future where mfs understand English glyphs but can’t stay away from the skull signs

@VividVoid_ fair point

mines of Moria situation they will unearth it if they want

@monodevice no more disaster porn get working on better fusion reactors

@michaelcurzi this is every reality tv show

everything that people say looks dystopian looks beautiful to me

i'm just built different. the moynihan train hall at penn station is awesome

and the salesforce transit center aka "dystopian mosque"

@BarneyFlames yeah $1.6b lmao

@SlothRedux @ProfoundPilled streetshitter

@SlothRedux @ProfoundPilled although ive seen plenty a white man shit on the streets

@tszzll u okay bro

@HanJahr @ProfoundPilled was loitering around a bike stand trying to unlock an escooter and he was like "bro u tryna steal my bike?"

@nickcammarata yes i care a Lot but i'm skeptical of our ability to answer that one empirically

@alth0u i hate mfs who spend 15 minutes explaining their refactor at the team meeting instead of just refactoring

@alth0u there should not ever be meeting time spent on folder structure just be a Chad and go make the diff

@aniiyengar same energy https://x.com/dril/status/247222360309121024?s=20

@JacksonKernion @nickcammarata causation has to be local? didn’t the bell experiments prove that the universe is nonlocal no matter what the interpretation

@halvorz https://x.com/tszzl/status/1404726679117783051

@Fullbitchschol1 honestly there’s no huge faux pas in what the guy did at all I’m just trying to make ppl laugh on Twitter dot com

@Fullbitchschol1 no I tried to reassure him he did nothing wrong

tfw the Uber pricing model only cares about the price sensitivity of the rider and will fluctuate 50% if you just walk in front of the nearest McDonald’s

@alth0u if you aren’t OMAD filling the gaps with Diet Coke ngmi

@Fullbitchschol1 i guess? berating him irl would accomplish nothing whereas joking about a disembodied stranger online creates a few laughs

@gene_minkov that’s rough buddy

@MegaBasedChad ideal black markets

@ollyrobot 😅

@aniiyengar mf not even becoming a grandmaster on predictit

@lalaAlicelala i have nothing against fast cars im gonna buy one myself they just take up way too much space in the Fun discourse relative to how fun they are

@alth0u this is net positive

the straussian reading of this movie is that nolan was a big fan of the patriot act

Carlos from magic school bus is a sigma male

@alth0u extremely Lindy meal

@jerry_dot_ai @_Jason_Dean_ doesn’t have to be instant rebirth I suppose

@thePR0M3TH3AN he told me “exit is a cope” so don’t know what to say buddy

@TylerAlterman league of legends Guy

@Altotus1 true

@aniiyengar lol

@hyperdiscogirl if you’re a lvl 99 hedonist you should be working on the complex stuff

damn the better joke here was “ Shopping Cartchain “

@ctjlewis @jeff82874662 @alth0u im not even making fun of it ... i cant explain why its just fun to type it out

@PaulSkallas >breakfast NGMI

bless your heart if you’re in the replies debating the impact of $250tn on the broader economy

@cauchyfriend hmm but this alone can’t be the reason right? after all virology labs are placed close to the areas where there’s large native populations of the viruses they study

@cauchyfriend the more interesting thing is the Alina Chan et al argument that there’s no period of human adaptation; the virus appears genetically fully fledged to infect human ACE2

@postpostpostr @cauchyfriend if you are gonna study bat coronaviruses you probably want to set up near an area with lots of bat coronaviruses

@95thoughts @cauchyfriend Ah I see

@alt_kia @cauchyfriend hmm I’m fully lableak pilled now

@aniiyengar tfw I have to buy walking credits from neuralink before it lets me use my legs

my fleets are significantly more unhinged than my tweets. do not tread

@95thoughts @alt_kia @cauchyfriend feel like I’ve seen ominous photos of WIV researchers collecting samples nearby

@BrickOverton there are many of these

@BecomingCritter true which unfortunately makes me a rat

@notzoetaylor talk to me when there’s a United variant

@halvorz very morbid

@alth0u few know the secret behind my huge ass

these soy wojaks or “soyjaks” have gone from disparaging redditors as credulous and leminglike into aggrandizing them as near lovecraftian monstrous entities, supporting my theory that the Reddit ideology has already won. in this essay I will

@lalaAlicelala @alth0u based!

@_alex_joshua no

ok this one is too on the nose

@Nazaaakat fair n lovely time

@Nazaaakat lmao

@liminal_warmth i hope its a game and not some boring science experiment

@liminal_warmth guy who simulates the whole universe 10 trillion times to figure out whether he should some dumb decision

@nickcammarata @rothosphere @TheZvi nick come back to sf

@jeffpicard if you can’t beat em join em

@deepfates im pretty confused ngl

@deepfates the axes

@deepfates horizontal seems to go from “logolike” to “realfacelike”

@deepfates and then maybe male coded vs female coded

@powerbottomdad1 @Lan_Dao_ for sure peebs

@bowserbot2 am younger than you but recently read the shit I wrote in high school (back when I was a Facebook poaster) prepared for extreme cringe but was taken aback by how cogent it seemed lol

@bowserbot2 was some sort of antiwoke atheist liberal

@bowserbot2 what this means is that personal progress is fake

@aifjs lmao

@andrej_haulis lmaoo

@mariani_jr ok i'll bite who

@bowserbot2 @zeit_sinn elaborate on #2

@bowserbot2 when should a person pursue science over industry

@bowserbot2 @zeit_sinn yeah true

the more followers you have the more you're NGMI

@BarneyFlames the place I’m staying is pictured in this lol. much of the sunset should become apartments

@powerbottomdad1 meeting xyz doesn’t amount to shit

@terfdavidicke true🥲

@bowserbot2 @BarneyFlames @dasanil i dont know much about bollywood tbh. although i do enjoy most aamir khan movies. try 3 idiots maybe? taare zameen par for instant feelz. neither are really romcom

@lolitsnotreal_ exhalation made me wanna cry (the actual short story exhalation)

@lolitsnotreal_ you didn't like it?

@lolitsnotreal_ ah

is left vs right brained real or has that been deboonked

i know people do have a dominant and non-dominant hemisphere but it's mostly a byproduct of physical control and says nothing deep re: personality

the dominant hemisphere's temporal lobe is often responsible for language production and semantic memory & the dominant frontal lobe contains the Broca's area (for speech production) but what is this stuff about logic vs teh feelz or whatever?

children can lose a whole hemisphere and mostly regain the lost functions on the other side https://x.com/hormeze/status/1409323835879354368?s=20

@rmcwhorter99 not gunna make it

@powerbottomdad1 right brain is cope, left brain is seethe

@Plinz no

@billpshort cope

@halvorz AI is the other

carefully nibbling on some adderall

@leaacta lmao

@Substr8Monopoly @halvorz very path dependent. there’s a co-evolution between model architectures, training methods, available datasets, the allowances of the hardware, etc

@leaacta @thesravaka amphetamine laced soylent will be the final evolution in corporate productivity boosting

@conorduffy_7 @yhdistyminen @man_ditch the steelman is that it’s a general shift to Darwinian thinking over Newtonian thinking

somethings gotta be done about French economists

@The_Geraldoid lmao

@monsterofcook i deduced that one second after i met you

@monsterofcook just everything

how many of you are actually using amphetamines level w me right fucking now https://x.com/generativist/status/1409972039947931649

my suspicion is that twitter overselects for adhd brains as well

@conorduffy_7 @yhdistyminen @man_ditch I think this is the foundational text for the rat vs postrat “debate” https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/03/16/book-review-seeing-like-a-state/

@conorduffy_7 @yhdistyminen @man_ditch not even the book itself but just this review lol Scott is pretty even handed about the conclusions

@jeff82874662 i knew you wouldn’t need them king

@jeff82874662 how many people in banking were on something to get through the long workweeks though?

!

@pee_zombie how do we feel about erotic auto-asphyxiation, r/rationalism?

guy who comments on my PR asking for a stupid change that I acquiesce to who then makes a PR reverting that change

@__frye hopefully he actually understands his crime and doesn’t just have awful memory

@__frye same tbqh I’m quite normie

i can’t explain why but this is the most Indian image macro ive ever seen

@monsterofcook what’s the problem? After all Chinese and US financial markets are seperated by several microseconds of lightspeed

@monsterofcook 3 minutes is the absolute best case. 20 minutes worst case I think

@monsterofcook not so much problems as “there’s a constant delay in information” arbitrage is when and if you could somehow move information faster like introducing internet to a snail mail process but hitting the hard limits of physics means there’s no more arbitrage

@monsterofcook yeah I suppose inefficiencies increase but it’s not clear by how much

@simonsarris seemingly does nothing for me

both McDonald’s and Bertrand Russell are good https://t.co/vnH7vR8Rtq

@halvorz no

@nEquals001 Good write up

@halvorz lol wow that is surprising

@halvorz we can count it

@leepavelich lmao

ill be honest I’ve never seriously read Bertrand Russell just wanted to stir the pot because I didn’t like this premium mediocre analogy

@halvorz ive seen enough disembodied passages from his writing to develop a vague positive sentiment over time

many parts of cyberpunk became true but not the insane next level street drugs. still drinking alcohol every weekend like a chump https://x.com/nickcammarata/status/1409964245031268354

@matplotlib @deepfates never surrender

@GreySmithereens yeah weed got stronger but it’s still weed

@michaelcurzi you’re really gonna call me out like this

@ollyrobot there will always be a place in my heart (and or liver) for Guinness

@MegaBasedChad retvrning is fake, just learn to deal with the consequences of computer technology tbqh

@razibkhan this is what i imagine @AgainstGop looks like

mimesis of mimetic theory https://x.com/GeoffLewisOrg/status/1409903247205322756

@cateliseh @halvorz @ReddyTaccovelt whoa

@w_____redacted yes

in high school i had a very skeptical software “””friend””” that told me that (1) node.js was a stupid meme framework that would die in months and (2) that Bitcoin was never going to get any higher ($50 in 2013)

it’s funny because he was right in ways that don’t matter but completely wrong in the ways that do matter

anyway i blame my not being a BTC billionaire on him

@_metallurgist https://x.com/tszzl/status/1410048441124737025

@BecomingCritter he also said that database sharding was a meme (before I knew what that meant) and that mongodb would never become a thing

@moon_of_a_moon yeah they’re getting worse rather than better

@tttuckerrr @BecomingCritter probably

@lisatomic5 wow first I’ve heard of amphetamines making people sleep better. just like better planning and self regulation or what?

@lisatomic5 for me often times it keeps me up longer and i feel obligated to work late into the night since im on the drug (but then again I am abusing it and have no scrip)

@lisatomic5 im probably taking too much & too irregularly & should just bite the bullet and go to a doctor do you notice any long term changes in mood or personality? in the short term i notice it can make me robotic and unsympathetic which i am afraid of

@AlanMCole no government or predigital business was all that good at it either. the reward and scale of exfiltration has just gotten much higher

@AlanMCole computer security is an advanced science compared to how lax eg a chemical distribution center is locked down

@zcknln haha explain further my dude

@zcknln lol yea i guess my personality has been constructed around “achievement” and specifically “scientific/technological achievement” from a young age

@nard_rockstein true

@ProfoundPilled guy who invents artificial life out of loneliness

@LucreSnooker @ProfoundPilled feels like the actual story of brahma and pygmalion

@LucreSnooker @ProfoundPilled maybe Hephaestus

@wiki_early_life @bowserbot2 holy based !

@wiki_early_life @bowserbot2 unfortunately if/when you want to cognitively perform above a certain level and manage a large enough project it becomes necessary. mostly i've been able to avoid thinking

@_metallurgist @michaelcurzi @BroductManager @alth0u @ProfoundPilled DM me if/ when you're up here

@finnitejest doesn't that make them intractable

@BecomingCritter take my spot critter

@ThatsMauvelous @finnitejest this is interesting because unlike many people in this sphere i haven't come to the conclusion that politics is stupid or evil or whatever

@ThatsMauvelous @finnitejest i've gained too much respect for the steelman arguments on either sides of many political issues to partake i no longer get mad at stupid bait online but rather replace it in my head with a much stronger argument and feel only sympathy this has increased my poasting quality

@finnitejest sorry to sperg over defns but in math/ computer science an "intractable problem" is usually something that has a solution, but it is too expensive and would be highly advantageous to find a better tradeoff but generally considered impossible

@finnitejest for example it is "possible" to find the prime factorization of very large numbers but the problem is also considered "intractable" because it is very expensive to do so. that's the perspective i'm coming from

@finnitejest in politics my parallel might be american homelessness where yes we could probably reduce homelessness in san francisco to zero but it would be too expensive on some other metric to be viable. therefore homelessness is "intractable"

@finnitejest again sorry to derail to shitpost i just felt a strange need to type this

@finnitejest derail a shitpost*

@finnitejest based

@nathanael_gould @finnitejest think i just took too much adderall today

there are very few modern professors who are famous to the public for reasons not directly involved in the culture war somewhat disappointing

and this is not for a lack of academic labs doing interesting work tbqh

@monsterofcook hmm yeah probably, but I mean like Feynman?

@mattparlmer can you explain a bit more how behavioral sink leads to this conclusion?

@Austen isn’t this just the standard “innovators dilemma”

@Austen spacex could focus on making falcon 9s more profitable forever but they want to get to mars

@RahmSJ ya maybe youre right but everyone is insisting that science is the new religion and yet most people probably couldn’t name the people behind the modern AI advancements

@_JTRussell @mattparlmer but I’m reading behavioral sink refers to an experiment on rats given unlimited resources?

being a rich country means becoming post-scarcity enough to write off daily petty robberies of Walgreens, and then burn all the wealth on end of life care like aducanumab so ppl have a 10% higher chance of pausing their Alzheimer’s deterioration

@RCAFDM was right 😭 https://randomcriticalanalysis.com/2016/09/25/high-us-health-care-spending-is-quite-well-explained-by-its-high-material-standard-of-living/

@_JTRussell @mattparlmer it seems we’re postscarcity on most things so I don’t see how this applies

@Mihoda @RCAFDM i haven’t been deep in the data but the arguments here are that healthcare inflation is demand-pull rather than supply-push

@Mihoda symptom of cheap money and lack of investment opportunities rather than the disease itself

@Mihoda and honestly the capital misallocation is somewhat small

in so many consumption categories wealthy people achieve 99% of the possible utility spending nearly nothing. tech is massively deflationary. most luxuries are considered gaudy in the US. only thing left to buy is pure status (big city rent, credentialing institution)

or spend increasingly less marginally cost effective amounts on end of life care in a bid to live forever

I’m long universities (or the new age credentialing institutions that come to replace them like YC), long biotech, long land rent lol. tech driving down the cost of other things will continue to increase the cost of these. this is probably a stale and obvious take

@arctanno true, same, im part of the problem

@One____Nation yeah I’m probably babbling

@LiminalLogic true

common bit of twitter revisionist history here in that the rest of the sub universally made fun of this and also copy pasted it underneath every post they considered “fedora atheism”. might have even invented the term https://x.com/ChristinaTasty/status/1409832493650436100

@halvorz should’ve known https://x.com/fanfiction_txt/status/329292717735686144

@halvorz btw whatever happened to cryo-EM. Is that a thing

@halvorz do you think computational models may ever obviate the need to get the ground truth or is that not in the stars atm

@halvorz ah https://x.com/halvorz/status/1410125006848335874?s=20

sorry to be a downer but i think the closening relationship of openai and microsoft is somewhat alarming https://x.com/gdb/status/1409890354132750336

@halvorz maybe "Trusting The Models" is less important than enabling more high throughput medium quality screening and whatever emergent effects that might enabled in the rest of the candidate pipeline. but will admit i don't have deep knowledge about QSAR / ligand docking stuff

@halvorz but i'm pretty sure we are getting better at approximating energy function at the DFT level and therefore simulating the binding process as well the lab i used to work with was just barely starting to use this stuff https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/itempdf74155353254prod/12218294/TorchANI__A_Free_and_Open_Source_PyTorch_Based_Deep_Learning_Implementation_of_the_ANI_Neural_Network_Potentials_v1.pdf

@AOCummies smoke more weed b4 sleeping

@deepfates Peter Thiel is the best fit for political life but elon would be way more fun and we would get to mars in like two days

@deepfates seems likely agi will have to be trained on a task like autocomplete (or some other difficult monotonous task with abundant data) and then subverted / reorganized into thinking more generally

@mattparlmer @aashiq up vs down

@podcastingFatso should be about democratizing and open sourcing AI methods and models, not being an R&D division for a big tech co

@_scrumbag_ @deepfates >TrueAnon

@powerbottomdad1 imagine needing money to make friends

@bowserbot2 nah this seems fun

@bowserbot2 we gotta train them to hate computers from a young age

bottle service is incredibly lame lol

@atroyn @bowserbot2 sure the parents and kids incentives are different. my parents made me go to a bunch of math stuff but i don’t really regret it at all bc in the long run it was interesting

@atroyn @bowserbot2 possible

@atroyn @bowserbot2 “you will end up teaching yourself” is true in the long run but there is value in lowering the activation energy. i remember I spent a lot of time futzing around with Visual Basic because that’s the only environment my dad knew how to set up for me in middle school lol

@atroyn @bowserbot2 but i also think the economic anxiety stuff is valid and probably there will be parents forcing their tots into the coding bootcamp they hate. neo-dickensian

@hormeze way more fun than sitting around looking super fuckin lame at the table

@ProfoundPilled yeah conspicuously DUMB

@ProfoundPilled lowkey it’s only rich Arab guys I ever see in there

@Bugs_Meany yeah that’s kinda true but it’s fun to get fucked up and dance surrounded by others in a primal way regardless of class. not so sure about “pay a guy to look like a baller”

@ProfoundPilled gonna need another 22 minutes to properly respond to this one

@paul_hundred @Bugs_Meany down

@Bugs_Meany guido taxation facilities LMAO

@Bugs_Meany agreed tho

@cateliseh bro please dont ruin the trillionaire grindset for me that's all i have

@PerseusArchive @Mihoda in some sense capital is being misallocated s.t. idiotic crypto projects to hire more employees so maybe

@monsterofcook havent watched loki and i dont know what ends of eternity is

@monsterofcook yeah im kinda disappointed i thought i had read most asimov. will get to it

on this day I became the worst enemy of roam research. villains create their own nemeses

@Conaw however we can be the greatest of friends if you just let me fly with you to Vegas

@SenWarren ?
