@AgainstGop @TenreiroDaniel @AOCummies can’t say more without getting on a list

@EvidenceBaseShi i mean it as follows: why doesn't nate silver publicly make stock picks depending on his prediction model?

@EvidenceBaseShi he is a market participant in a loose way in that maybe the success of 538 adjacently depends on being correct but news columns are more valued for sounding authoritative than being correct

@PrinceVogel ive never done any such thing~ i reserve all right to midwittery past present and future

@GuilleAngeris @Virtual1nstinct its due to self selecting internet audience tbqh

@andrej_haulis lmaoo

@MiloJKing yeah i think so lol isn't PAP at like 60% vote share despite running a dictatorship sad!

@MiloJKing they are gerrymandered to fuck and the PM reserves the right to reshape districts at will at any time lol

@MiloJKing yeah this apparently happens often where the opposition doesn't even know what the district they're competing for is

@Neurosidosis yeah the future energy mix will be without a doubt some mix of reliable (nat gas/ nuclear / energy storage) + variable (solar / wind)

@Neurosidosis there are open questions for all options nat gas is way cheaper and quicker than nuclear to get working but, in the long run will carbon price be too high? will onsite carbon sequestration work? will battery chemistry change? rare earth prices? etc

am wondering: why the focus on direct air capture? won't onsite capture at nat gas facilities always be more efficient? https://www.xprize.org/prizes/elonmusk

not that the former wouldn't be nice. probably have to fix some carbon 'debt' so to speak

@ded_ruckus tru i guess

@0x543211 yeah but they both seem scifi at the moment

@0x543211 agreed Biology is the best machinery

Trader Joe’s is a dating app

@justjoshinyou13 @DistractedAnna I’m standing in a TJs. What could this mean

@0x543211 @nhasanli inb4 this renders the ocean sterile somehow

@alth0u it’s also obvious looking at little kids immense interconnection to the web, flawless ability to seek info total lack of concentration

@alth0u tired: adhd meds are being overprescribed wired: neocortices everywhere developing shorter cycle times and higher level of abstraction

@mattparlmer tell him to back to work

@iluvjoerogan he’s ran thru get a new therapist

@TeddyRaccovelt inshallah we will get blood boys and become immortal

@chopstickfury01 @__femb0t nw i had to look this up. But it’s true

*twitter profile that definitely got the vaccine*: omg i can’t believe you’d inject that experimental cocktail you fkin sheep

@robblutton @idontwa86202030 @Duderichy @BellaRudd1 right yeah cost of upgrades, maintenance, and meeting new safety regs

i honestly find this endearing. gotta take your reactionary clout Ws where you can. keep at it bros. Just like I’ll keep saying McAfee was murdered despite the fact that mf took the easy way out

@aniiyengar midwit hurts way more bc like 90% of the people that are hyper verbal enough for twitter are professional class already and their only concern is being mediocre

@dealbakerjones @robblutton @idontwa86202030 @Duderichy @BellaRudd1 well old designs are burdened by maintenance cost from new regs now right let’s say you standardizes a new model according to regs and mass produce it then decades pass and regs change again and now you have a bunch of plants that are unprofitable to upgrade

@dealbakerjones @robblutton @idontwa86202030 @Duderichy @BellaRudd1 the uncertainty alone makes it an unhappy investment takes 2 decades to recoup the cost of capital in many cases

@aniiyengar the latter is what I meant none of them are truly stupid. Narcissism of small differences etc

real world data labeling is fundamentally competing with simulation approaches not zero sum necessarily but competing scale vs who?

waymo is internally competing their simulations and scale data probably https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/6/22565448/waymo-simulation-city-autonomous-vehicle-testing-virtual

will AI playground sims always be bespoke or can someone build tools for this?

@samson_hu can you list a few? or DM

@alth0u i remember waymo was using unity for their sims and then gave up saying it wasn't detailed enough

@alth0u then built their own highly advanced stack https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.03844

@BrickOverton doesnt do anything like adderall does for me plus weird side effects

@atroyn isn't this a bit like asking "if i have an algorithm that measures if this is a valid 3 coloring of this graph, why do i need an algorithm that finds a 3 coloring?"

@leepavelich what a blessed life he leads .. not knowing about the scourge of mongolia

@michaelcurzi lmfao

@atroyn hmm why would that be? as far as i'm concerned the simulation is the answer checker (returns reward fn) and the model is the answer giver

@atroyn i'm not sure another metaphor will help our miscommunication but if i have very accurate CFD software that doesn't obviate my need for aerospace engineers right?

@atroyn RL in simulo is more promising to me

@atroyn if i understand your objection i think it's been empirically tested by such methods as: https://openai.com/blog/solving-rubiks-cube/ a model that is robust to a bunch of crude in simulo environments where we vary physical parameters may also be robust to real world

@ollyrobot https://x.com/nickcammarata/status/1396648862719221765?s=20

@iluvjoerogan thats fine ill take the L

@iluvjoerogan i just wanna talk to you babe

this show is so fuckin garbage *throws on next episode*

That's okay, I'll still keep watching that garbage.

@monodevice even worse, loki this show was written by ass clowns high on their own supply of jenkem

@WillManidis the lindy diet

@xyz_nihilo finding an actually good show will be much harder and less likely to payoff than just finishing this schlock

@LudditeHacker a prison of my own design

@LudditeHacker Sometimes I gotta scream into the void and delete later. Doesn’t look good on the profile

@retttx @Keith_Wasserman 🤗

@lisatomic5 jw what field is this in?

@DesidErratum but it makes the talented forbears work harder

@atroyn @pde33 imo, matters of quantity and not quality

@chaosprime normally I hate snitch tagging but I want to create some drama @Conaw

@mattparlmer idk man many of our airports are beautifully overbuilt — agree on rest tho

@mattparlmer there’s also two good train stations

@yhdistyminen I’m your guy

@yhdistyminen nobody but me and the Aztecs understand the beauty of their rituals

@cauchyfriend @yhdistyminen yea and everybody misses the emotional valence of child sacrifice “the Aztecs are so fucked up they slaughtered kids like it’s nothing” no they literally offered sacrifices of the single thing that was most precious to them and painful to lose to their monstrous gods

@clamchowdery 🤣

@cauchyfriend @yhdistyminen it informed their political ideology too. Emperors were to be honored but also enemies of the people

i think a lot of the people that say "productivity is fake only work on the things you find fun" are on the far wings of the distribution for finding productive activities fun

the rest of us need some kind of self discipline/ extrinsic motivation/ etc

@chaosprime exactly none of my hobbies remain hobbies i try too hard and it becomes a job

and even the people that DO find work 5 sigma fun have to expend efforts on the aspects of it they dislike to get to the finish line eg high powered ceos saying their job is like "chewing glass and staring into the abyss"

@liminal_warmth right

@nickcammarata choosing to interpret this as a threat

@atroyn @pde33 also, an even more obvious example https://x.com/AIatMeta/status/1413468328937639937

@Plinz @default_dad @Plinz how did you know about my factory limitations?

@WillManidis yes Let’s talk about this more sometime?

@parafactual you gotta admit the flint water meme lasted way too long in a manner that suggests that perhaps there’s a larger market for social justice outrage than actual legible outrages

@default_dad I am at a far lower brain level than you lemy please leave me and my neuroses alone

@keeperofsheep1 needles in haystacks doesn’t even cut it

@chopstickfury01 bowser is the alt

@keeperofsheep1 true I’m just coping but I think cheap onsite capture is way easier and more important rn ~75% of co2 is power generation iirc

what i expect software interviews to be like every time: ok theyre gonna ask about segment trees and heapsorts and I need to brush up on l’hopitals analysis — what they actually ask: pls do a depth first search

@Hellachans generally the PM shows up as a prop in the story problem “you’re pm wants you to make this faster ;)”

@candrianillborn @BarneyFlames lmfao

rich people today are so well behaved compared to like, all of history, but they'll never get any credit for it lol

epsteins island??? even if its true its pussy shit compared to what went down like 100 years ago

@MilesPlastic https://x.com/tszzl/status/1417655454302306309?s=20

anyway this is a good thing. everyone must demand more of their elites than ever before. revolt of the public etc

@NateTheSpy yeah they were fucked in the head, completely depraved. kinda cool honestly

@thesravaka exactly. "customer" is a submissive role. like a child, they get to demand things. "producer" is where all status lies in technocapital society

@Hellachans the car can only drive itself if you upload a demo video.

@AOCummies completely correct king. unironically true

@KeynesianYama ya, noblesse oblige and whatnot

@oppositenames assuming everyone is a degenerate in private is either projection or cope or both

@ChoralsScholar one rich ""hero"" i can think of seems to have singlehandedly wiped polio from the earth. another restarted the space race. again, this is trad cope

completely true. absurdly well behaved https://x.com/AOCummies/status/1417656822048174082?s=20

@NLRG_ @oppositenames mostly wrong

@NLRG_ great gatsby was getting up to some fucked up shit

@NLRG_ @oppositenames yeah it turns out that people with a religious devotion to their businesses are not that exciting

@thatsgreatman there's no difference

@keeperofsheep1 yeah, most transportation is cars and cars are becoming electrified quickly but ok fair

@NLRG_ @oppositenames to be clear i mean "boring/exciting" in a salacious way. i think the current batch of rich people have plenty of cool projects bc of their religious devotion to work

@thatsgreatman anyway i think they're fundamentally better behaved even without the checks/balances why? because capitalism has become more and more cut throat over time. the people that run top companies (tech) are little more than meat computers

@alth0u true

thats right

@Historycourses no man can claim to own a meme

@Hellachans @TeddyRaccovelt @Historycourses a sufficiently powerful meme is a God

@TeddyRaccovelt @Hellachans @Historycourses monotheists: *weeping* no please you can't just call everything a god me: new god just dropped

@glockwitdanuts still don’t understand this one

@kristineCreates @glockwitdanuts what’s the answer and why?

@KtheEphemeral high verbal gf high verbal bf. this is the way for maximal banter

@parafactual @kristineCreates @glockwitdanuts many such cases

@kristineCreates @glockwitdanuts what i want to rotate the square manhole cover. lame

@kristineCreates @glockwitdanuts falling in makes sense tho

@glockwitdanuts evo psych 101

@Virtual1nstinct @harveykrishna_ https://x.com/tszzl/status/1331136054292746240

@0x5a2fc8 those are the only people that are gmi

@thesravaka seems unfortunate/ unrealistic no?

@jeff82874662 and they should i prefer it to my learned ideology which is pomo “everything is a joke”-ism

@PstafarianPrice @The_Equationist @AgainstGop @cateliseh @robkhenderson south asian men stay winning lmao

@AgainstGop @PstafarianPrice @The_Equationist @cateliseh @robkhenderson bamboo ceiling in all aspects of life

Coke coffee is insane. Another banger from the Coca Cola corporation

I’ll still keep drinking that garbage.

@alth0u a hard drive is one file but the kernel adds some syntactic sugar on top

@DefiDiogenesYFI Coke with a mocha aftertaste

@argentCarnifex @alth0u true

academic conferences are superior to journals bc 1. they can charge for physical convention access and therefore can make the actual papers open access 2. real Science happens when you get drunk with the attendees

@jeff82874662 and? 😈

@jeff82874662 also nobody can follow bap and tell me he takes himself too seriously. He knows how to have fun more than 99% of respectable real ideologues

@jeff82874662 half the reason i love this website is how it doubles as an anthropological study of highly developed weirdo subcultures

@erf_of_why lol true

@cateliseh cope

@Duderichy @gigafelon @jeff82874662 thx

@TheObserverAU @jane_gatsby nature develops trading; it don’t develop free markets

@BennettJonah mythopoetic worldview keeps people sane

@MegaBasedChad @br4nchdr4vidian @monsterofcook vanilla >>> and it’s zero calories!

@monsterofcook @MegaBasedChad @Hellachans @br4nchdr4vidian HOLY BASED!!!!

@realWSJohnson get rekt

@Duderichy primarily it’s a form of running away from problems

@alth0u apparently they taught it to him blackpilled when I found this out

i have an alt where I browse academia twitter and they’re universally mad at private space flight because they say “they’re not doing it for science they’re doing it for themselves”

@alth0u lmao

@alth0u Alex definitely understood his memorized poem. No one can convince me otherwise

@alth0u honestly there’s very little science anymore, it’s all engineering even in academia maybe the difference is the emotional valence / narcissism of small differences

@eigenrobot I am

@GuilleAngeris can find some if ur curious

@GuilleAngeris https://x.com/jay_desai10/status/1414789633775263746

@thebestestpie they are researchers more than teachers

@Jay_Desai10 @GuilleAngeris if you can’t see how completely commoditized LEO launch might help research scientists that’s a failure of your own imagination

@Jay_Desai10 @GuilleAngeris BO and SpaceX competing will pull down prices even lower — think of how many space telescopes you can launch. Hubble is small brain in comparison to what’s possible in the next 10 years

@aquariusacquah Bro send link

@eigenrobot wait is there some secret lore or is this a joke

@eigenrobot @selentelechia amazing

@SatyreContraire it’s more than the law

all cities should be build on the absolute worst land, completely devoid of natural beauty. that’s the only way you can keep expanding and densifying guilt free

New York vs San Fran

@egocv those valleys were some of the prettiest on earth b4 dvlpmnt

@alth0u more tapefacers

@realDogeFace1 ya but it would be funny if he enjoyed it

this is what Jeff Bezos was doing in space

@bungoman It’s diet by default

@bungoman @plesmasquerade that’s illegal

@Jay_Desai10 @Akrasionater @GuilleAngeris thx for proving to be a perfect example for my thread lmao

@Jay_Desai10 @Akrasionater @GuilleAngeris 🤣 lmao

@LudditeHacker link

@alth0u needs to at least be an esoteric rotation

@ollyrobot there are tons of ppl who get into finance bc of WoWS lmao

@ollyrobot same with Liar's Poker one man's cautionary tale is another man's recruitment pitch

@ollyrobot anyway "raising the status" of sofeng is bad because you want people working on it who are essentially silicon surfing autists rather than grifters

@andrej_haulis midwits today are so well behaved compared to like, all of history, but they'll never get any credit for it lol

bombay/mumbai is the ideal city. built on top of fake & cursed land dredged from the sea, clawed inch by inch from mother nature

@gbrl_dick bro shut the fuck up and take your Aduhelm

@DavidBancz yep

@sgodofsk i call it bombay but i have no theory of mind for whether twitter knows the naming history of mumbai

@sgodofsk turns out when you try and top down rename a place for political reasons the natives will not particularly care

@_debarshi nice

@nickcammarata Aren’t they actually different though? Seeing as the latter makes testable predictions

@nickcammarata whereas wavefunction collapse is like a metaphenomenon past which we can’t see

@atroyn @nickcammarata well i hope so but tbf, SR & GR instantly made predictions that explained otherwise weird phenomena

@arctanno same but it's because i tryhard on bench and don't try on squat

@atroyn @nickcammarata didn't the michelson morley experiment & others come *before* special relativity

@atroyn @nickcammarata GR truly outstripped experiment

@atroyn @nickcammarata yeah that's fair i guess we can posthoc narrativize about which theories were meant to explain which experimental results but i doubt einstein set about on GR so he could explain the precession of mercury vs atomic physics has a clear causal chain

@duns_sc0tus I’ve never gotten hung

@halvorz possibly also in business

will never forget the guy in the OS class i taught who had an encyclopedic knowledge of C++17 constructs but consistently got the lowest grade in the class on the project autograder lmao

mfs who dont understand OS concepts using optional types and making it impossible to debug in office hours

@telmudic nah bc they would always be there at the last minute trying to get me to debug their shit in a panic. 1 million helper functions and test cases and they’re all wrong

@telmudic was below average at the problems but even still, we saved most mediocre students with lots of help in office hours. even students that were storing all state in global hash tables but when you make it too complicated for instructors to understands at a glance …

@Duderichy @telmudic idk knowing the formulas is rarely enough in higher level physics

@sanssomatic @telmudic lmfao

“tech first” or “product first” >> code first … https://x.com/zachlloydtweets/status/1414632474332835847

will also never forget the prof of that class who turned out to be a pedo but that’s a different & not very fun story …

@telmudic @Duderichy ya aren’t we agreeing? I just don’t see how it’s opposite in physics vs compsci

@telmudic @Duderichy Ah yeah

@The_Lazy_Nerd @halvorz I mean maybe but I think halvorz point is more about the need to over systematize, find patterns where none exist etc need to become comfortable with inelegance

@ctjlewis @telmudic @Duderichy ya I mean I think the point here is applying vector calc and linalg in novel ways becomes very hard very quickly

@ctjlewis @telmudic @Duderichy many a physics problem set that’s bigger brained than original research

@ctjlewis @telmudic @Duderichy Ye ur right, Tel is just norming for a stem audience

@iluvjoerogan lol who cares bro study this image carefully

@arctanno @telmudic that’s based

@iluvjoerogan lmao that’s fair

@iluvjoerogan I larp as the latter way more often

the cycle time between lindyman blocking and unblocking me is contracting. soon there will be multiple such events per day

@BarneyFlames @sgodofsk also I love how this is young in india time vs incredibly old in America time

extremely mad at the Pfizer corporation, because their research department seems to have stolen my paper title and just reused it

i'm antivaxx now

and you know what their paper sucks

@oldvillagesage @awlego @OGesports @OpenAI wym lol they’re really top notch

@eigenrobot https://x.com/tszzl/status/1417968911136432128

@ITBeHa @ollyrobot i bet elon absolutely thinks the biggest painting is the best lmao despite being an obvious polymath

@monodevice delete this immediately

@monodevice im such a bugman for even understanding smfh

my buddy Igor’s hiring MLEs for his startup if anyone’s interested https://t.co/QGkUx3j7cl

@awlego @oldvillagesage @OGesports @OpenAI you didn’t follow the progression of alpha star because they nuked its ability to do superhuman micro soon afterwards and it was still winning

@alth0u Check out Christopher Thomas’ profile on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-thomas-4035b43

@default_dad @glockmetal lmao

@default_dad @glockmetal when you’re a social butterfly you have chemistry with everyone …

@PlinzM @nickcammarata that’s why it’s a “metaphenomenon”, it’s not quite real

@LudditeHacker @The_Lazy_Nerd @halvorz Not strictly but smart people are rewarded in life for their ability to find shortcuts and get more done with less effort if you become too reliant you forget how to grind

@sonyasupposedly twitter actually has the opposite effect where people act like bigger hotter messes than they actually are

@nickcammarata are there any known ways to improve ppls base level of satisfaction?

@JeremyDanielFox @nickcammarata really weird but the three months of my life where I was eating sleeping and exercising like perfectly felt no different than the parts I live as a degenerate lol this is probably not true for everyone tho

@alth0u and they’re right

@__frye it’s honestly no different than having 1000 follows ime the algorithm heavily filters for accounts you’re familiar with

@__frye browsing chronological feed with that number of follows would be insane though

@Bfaviero @JoshuaOgundu it’s not founder stress

@oldvillagesage @awlego @OGesports @OpenAI people have a habit of downplaying tremendous achievements in AI. The expectations keep rising precipitously

@telmudic a good product idea will excuse a lot of shit execution tho tbf

@telmudic i hear Facebook was run like a clown show in the beginning and they still made it

@krishnanrohit @telmudic yeah this

my boss's boss is probably worth like $10m+ and he's got a desk stocked full of soylent bottles

... And Here's Why It's https://x.com/DogIsABot/status/1418045628702240769?s=20

@chiefofstuffs @alth0u so true

you're not gonna believe me but hes actually a chad and completely mogs me every time we talk. a Frugal king

@arctanno in tech the latter is more relatable than the former lmfao

@marx_knopfler it’s a racist word for Me

@wolftivy no

seems to be some cognitive bias assuming that depressed people are better / kinder / nicer on average. downtrodden by the world

in practice this doesnt seem true

@infinitsummer idk just something I used to think. Maybe it’s just me tho

@infinitsummer I am v optimistic about other people lol

@infinitsummer both individually and in aggregate

@CathPoaster hes got a dank condo at least

@woke8yearold true but obviously not doomed. they just may not be worth anywhere near their peak valuations

@woke8yearold uber and airbnb are in a different category from shit like moviepass or wework lol. proof: look at the gross margins

@kristineCreates ya

@woke8yearold well i can tell you for a fact that uber makes net profit on its rides division. loses money on Eats

@small_nuts every frat bro ive ever met has been incredibly nice

@Hellachans @small_nuts ya theyre awesome & great to know for the coke hookup. if i have any criticism to give its that they think a little bit too small but thats ok

Uber was net profitable in ‘19 without eats and freight. Don’t know how the “loses money on every ride” meme persists

@enemy_egal @woke8yearold fiercer competition

@BacktestedTakes they are breaking it down by market segment lol

@Hellachans probably includes tiny investments like jump bikes and stuff

@Hellachans I’m pretty sure this was a leaked internal doc but not sure

@wolftivy without spice Indian food is just some bread and lentils

@wolftivy that’s where you’re wrong buddy. true masters can make something out of nothing

@wolftivy Yes wolf. We should also live in communist hovels. after all what is housing but a storage unit for humans. Let’s also get rid of poetry. Reading is for information transfer,,, after all. All this fancy engineered cope

@shreyagnanda Top down planning with some fancy math added — the soviets had matrix optimization too

@michaelcurzi I will make materialism better until morale improves

@michaelcurzi https://x.com/chaosprime/status/1416555772625006596

@eigenrobot how is it not named some ridiculous tech thing yet. The Eigenbridge

food should be less enjoyable because it’s elite and lindy or something. I am very smart

making fun of white people is tired and boring except in one case. the lack of spice tolerance and the coping thereof

@eigenrobot don’t get me wrong I am a Metis Enjoyer. all tweets must foremost own oneself

@CkLorentzen @chiefofstuffs @alth0u old habits die hard

@what_tar_nation @eigenrobot do you really want more monuments to Salesforce. That’s what you gotta ask yourself

@chrisgardenuk @CkLorentzen @chiefofstuffs @alth0u He’s being sarcastic

@chrisgardenuk @CkLorentzen @chiefofstuffs @alth0u anyway he probably enjoys it. Having responsibility is nice

@SameOldTrain @SamoBurja there isn’t over the top hate for Detroit. nobody talks about it

@antirobust third order effect of creating more Alzheimer’s drug research

@DistractedAnna wondering if ppl need this sense of justice to get by

@DistractedAnna unless i just invented another fake silver lining at the meta level

@andrej_haulis lmao

@YieldsF seems like this guy didnt even read it properly

@darpyu simplifying

@ctjlewis the net income you’re showing here is the real accounting trick. Byproduct of selling off a foreign division

@ctjlewis look at ‘19 not ‘18

@woke8yearold rides being more expensive doesn’t necessarily harm them — banks make more money when interest rates are higher the latter is a real risk yeah. But I have no clue what the time horizon on that is, or whether or not they might want to use Uber’s network anyway

@FunkyDuffy @BacktestedTakes seems fine

@SameOldTrain @SamoBurja that’s not really hate tho

months later morons still haven’t realized zack was joking lol https://t.co/5TF65xmV3y

@VectorOfBasis so based vector 🥲 may you bury your divine discontent in high achievements

@alth0u The virgin scientific management vs the chad

@_djpn Based

@LucreSnooker @alth0u yeah realistically the virgin achieves scale but has to keep saying lame shit like scrum while doing so, who really won here?

there comes a time in every reply guy’s life whence he must venture out of the comment section and make a name for himself https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1418303900411592706

nothing personnel @Noahpinion

@notlinear1 what blade meme?

@Noahpinion great now we can just post ender's game takes that anger each other endlessly

@notlinear1 oh lmfao yeah that wouldve been good. moment has passed

@VectorOfBasis @devarbol https://x.com/tszzl/status/1382787140539404290?s=20

@CathPoaster @pcrowe he's by no means a leftoid just the type of guy that has so many meetings that sometimes he does need food in a bottle

@baandlibro nah, this is cope. dig deeper for what they're actually adjusting

yeah the stock based compensation adjustment is a common bit of accounting cope, but not at all unique to uber, nor really a deal breaker https://www.ft.com/content/6999dc72-893e-11e9-97ea-05ac2431f453

honestly i realize now it has nothing to do with frugality and more that it's convenient for him while on conference calls all day

@dasanil @wolftivy true im exaggerating for dramatic effect. south indian myself 😊

@AgainstGop bronson no don't do this ... what kind of red blooded brahmin is drinking Huel ...

@AgainstGop i hope so too but we have to introduce scifi levels of tech growth to make the scenario work

@tangojoshua yep

@AgainstGop but of course i agree that CRT ideology is rubbing a native population's face in their own decline, recipe for disaster

@Duderichy @grantadever no

@Duderichy @grantadever bro at least try to understand what i'm saying before disagreeing Rides division - (R&D + G&A) is net positive in Q4 2019 i don't WANT them to make a profit and stop investing -- my point is only that they don't lose money on the mobility division

@Duderichy @grantadever agreed but i also have buddies in uber's finance and pricing divisions, who have no real reason to lie to me about this. ive seen some private data i maybe shouldn't have

@grantadever @Duderichy why?

@luke_metro true lol been seeing some absolutely wild valuations on EquityZen and trying to convince myself not to buy

@billpshort @wowholyfucking these are not the orgies you want to be going to. you want to go to the harvey weinstein LA orgies

i will keep adjusting EBITDAs all i want. cry more nerds

@ExogenyKarl @billpshort @wowholyfucking this is something else, they just cuddle. still sounds nasty due to gender ratio tho

anyone have a pitchbook account they wanna share with me :^)

@andrej_haulis @ded_ruckus yeah even normies can do it by reading lots of books

if you haven't internalized this graph yet you're NGMI

@MilesPlastic oh shit oh fuck

@nominalthoughts i tweeted this before and deleted it like a coward

@andrej_haulis @ded_ruckus btw theres a sequel series where she develops a new way to read the alethiometers "rationally" lol

@andrej_haulis @ded_ruckus man the show sucks

@ollyrobot @finnitejest this is also fukuyama's argument

@ollyrobot @finnitejest but he considers it a true "failure mode" in that it's doomed to fail

@WillManidis delet

@__frye lmao

@default_dad no piss november

ppl in my replies agreeing have badly misread the situation. Like white ppl rapping along n words at the concert. It’s over for you fools

@eigenrobot more and more think this is called adhd

@p_millerd blocked

@eigenrobot no worries I am the exact same way and this whole thread describes me

@eigenrobot good to have a stash of amphetamines for rainy day tho lol

@eigenrobot lmao same tho but it’s worth it

@eigenrobot I’m also laughing because my performance reviews are like “roon is technically top tier but needs to show up to meetings on time”

@nickcammarata @satoshi_aizawa lmao

@L0m3z Indians

@L0m3z my People

@codeclayman @Conaw Truu

‘But if America was a thousand years old and had no science, no religion, and no writing, we would have crazy mythologies up the wazoo. George Washington would take on the stature of an Agamemnon; Benjamin Franklin would take on the status of a Daedalus.’ https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/04/08/a-theory-of-religion/

@jeff82874662 robots taking muh jobs

@asingleoat @rickyflows yeah so you can calculate the free energy of the structure fairly cheaply and then compare against other measurements, but it’s more like NP-hard because to have solved a protein you need to know that your fold is better than all other folds. Similar to TSP

@monodevice ya which reveals that ur a little BITCH

@wannabegroncho the synthesis is @RokoMijicUK

talked to a few academics recently. they tell me that it’s a common strat to apply for funding on something you’ve already proved results on and then roll that money into a next project

@erf_of_why 😍

@ded_ruckus @alth0u the energy function

@ded_ruckus @alth0u it’s apparently pretty tricky to interpret the results of crystallography or cryo-EM into a final structure requires a super good guess beforehand to make progress so this will aid in experimental verification as well

@ded_ruckus @alth0u yeah local molecular dynamics sim

@enemy_egal @telmudic lmfao

this is kind of sad because if you have so much evidence already that it’ll work that’s more industry than science. these folks should be getting startup funding instead https://x.com/realBannanna/status/1418666964948504582

Remember that when Lord Indra arrived on the Clubhouse app in his chariot to slaughter 6 million weekly active users, the first word he said was ‘Namaste’.

@notlinear1 more people can exist as a result of technology, and I consider this an unalloyed good thing outside of status competition

@notlinear1 also setting aside “suffering reduction” theres nonzerosum value in gaining physical understanding of the world, solving mysteries etc. Postrats will disagree with me on this

@reconfigurthing Bio

@Hellachans @eigenrobot what kind of insane adverse selection is this

@notlinear1 tech growth is the global drumbeat of our civilization, it all ends if growth stops so probably not a bad PR campaign

can’t believe academic economics exists when EVE online already solved it

@notlinear1 no I agree but the dating app problems are small in comparison to what happens if tech growth stops tomorrow and economies go into stagnation + no pop growth to beat it. very ugly situation

@notlinear1 that’s when the real status competition will come out

seed investor that hunts for EVE guildmasters to turn into entrepreneurs

@pratyushbuddiga 🤣

@TeddyRaccovelt based

@hellbutrin i bet lol requires a high level of executive function

@MilesPlastic how is it the opposite

@swapp19902 yeah it wouldn’t be convincing at all lol. not dissimilar to falling in love with a statue

@seconds_0 amazing

@cateliseh @telmudic amazing

@swapp19902 ya it turns out postscarcity is boring. but then the economy went into stagflation which is way more boring

@telmudic @alth0u

Rooncoin coming soon https://t.co/3M0Vi8Y4PI

@mickmickfuzz @TenreiroDaniel ok mickmickfuzz

@komphlex Pls do it. I don’t know what it entails

@TenreiroDaniel @mickmickfuzz he’ll have to wipe at least one mick off his name by the time im done with him

@bayes_baes he’s not right but he’s also not wrong

@komphlex I am willing to make a Faustian bargain with @komphlex

@halvorz automate the boring parts

@midwit100 At a gut level? Everybody I know, including myself took it and they’re fine lol Plus it seems more and more certain that you either get the vaccine or get the virus and there’s no third choice as delta etc becomes endemic

@midwit100 Also my understanding is that side effects show up in less than 4 months in all previous vaccines that were problematic And it’s been 12 months since the phase III trials started

@Virtual1nstinct yeah if you really commit to the copernican principle then any great filters that destroy not just ourselves but the galaxy are impossible but you could imagine that some defense system triggers once an AGI grey goo grows beyond a certain size

@BarneyFlames lmao absolutely ridiculous

one of the most insane things is thinking that everybody was beautiful 60 years ago due to their sacred and lindy diets based on seeing some good looking people in surviving tv ads for products like "Kellogg's Sugar Smacks"

@1RAOKADAY @fire_bottle i mean i think increases in average effective income and becoming postscarcity in food production can also explain that

@telmudic rocky moon = roon

how the hell are things like this still possible, amazing my intuition would've been that low hanging fruit are gone from single gene splicing in commodity staples does anyone know how quickly this might start producing results in real life? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-021-00982-9

can you just 1.5x all the grain production in india or china rq

17 year olds are messaging me on LinkedIn saying they’re interested in “multi-omic AI drug discovery” send help

that’s ok, I’ll keep answering that heartbreaking garbage.

@AlphaSlavic no it’s perfectly fine, I’m interested as well, it’s just kind of amazing how early kids are hopping on this stuff now

@sinecuris that’s a good point but I’d assume that fertilizers aren’t the bottleneck

@MisterMarket_ lmao 😂

wish there was a way to document this stuff that’s not just via group memory and the hopeless twitter search https://x.com/SethLargo/status/1418779828258496512

@PrinceVogel https://qmisato.tumblr.com/ Consistently great

@PrinceVogel also there was this guy with a crazy good video series that YouTube might’ve taken down

@ne0agent1c a little company called Cambridge analytica fucked that all up

someone make a wiki??

@JoeysBarAndCult man research is a pain in the ass too requires more executive function than you’d think

@AgainstGop black swan

@eigenrobot 🙂

@alth0u I can only think on my feet. In heated debate

when a powerful twitter presence touches grass it wilts and dies

ik this through experience

the SaaS pirate says ARR

@lisatomic5 yeah sorry but if the guy forms a weird relationship with this clearly fake thing that’s on him

tell me why you’re NGMI

for me, it’s because I’m addicted to learning uncorrelated pieces of information instead of building

@smstxtmsg @bayes_baes No

@ollyrobot demonic game

@ollyrobot he is inevitable …

@OliverCarefull oh wow, sorry to hear buddy. Puts the rest of our bs in perspective

@AOCummies too bad bro history is happening here

@RealDarkwing @ne0agent1c they closed it bc they predicted things like CA

@PrinceVogel DemolitionD

@TeddyRaccovelt and it wasn’t Melinda

@mattparlmer depends on the society CCP will have standardized phenotypes I bet Han uberman

@mattparlmer US (The Culture) will have absurd variance

common and weird trope where folks impute some shortcoming that clearly affects most of a certain social class to just “tech ppl” instead https://x.com/nwilliams030/status/1418771600472788993

tldr everyone I know loves preserving optionality. finance people included. Poker people too (though I know fewer)

@Miles_Brundage nice

@chaosprime tru

@nwilliams030 @sonyasupposedly Yeah agreed Yuppie affliction - I’m just being difficult !

there’s a reason why the whole professional class is getting married later and later !!

@0knaomi Nah Nicole’s p cool

@0knaomi That’s fair, and I’m not in the business of making every twitter account like every other Twitter account but consider that folks may think that individualism has gone too far in some cases without actually hating individualism

@andrej_haulis lmao

@chaosprime make a 2x2 of this and place various twitter accounts in the grid

@AlphaSlavic Told the laywer when I see him, on sight

@babarganesh love it https://x.com/tszzl/status/1402850525331165186?s=20

@Alephwyr holy based !!

@MisterMarket_ im lowkey a fan of 'spiritual but not religious' because of this. they seem to have more fun

there are are only two viable plays for any problem: dimensionality reduction or dimensionality enlargement

@jerry_dot_ai bell curve meme

@jerry_dot_ai i mean its obviously fake but sometimes you gotta believe stuff anyway for humor value

@finnitejest the red flags are not the 'Great Books' that are controversial the red flag is just when it's clear they have bad taste. i saw a guy had 'Chapo's Guide to Revolution' and i knew we were not gonna get along lmao

@MegaBasedChad Matthew Yglesias, born Malik Yahuda in North Waziristan

@LucreSnooker I mean yeah he’s being completely rational there. If you really actually believe in hell you end up like Tweetman lol

@generativist infinite games or seeing like a state

@VivaLaPanda_ Excellent

@VivaLaPanda_ read a dystopian novel about this once

@eigenrobot @ollyrobot apparently it’s an Andrew Carnegie quote from around 150 years ago, presumably when millionaire meant obscene wealth but he also probably pulled the figure out of his ass

@eigenrobot @ollyrobot regardless i understand the anger at the land rentiers

@ParrotRobot Ez pz

they call him Dexedrine Drew https://t.co/AlscGJ7Azm

his kickbacks are in the tens of millions

@HydeAndTrace @AOCummies you have IR instead of XR

@robinhanson Nobel

@cauchyfriend oh? How come

@gigafelon @cauchyfriend I read it, don’t remember anything about Dexedrine

@rip_imho @threat_update based

@Rand32Biddies i think its actually healther than most platforms its a medium that enables broadcast to close friends rather than to a global audience also -- no likes/RTs/shares metrics to optimize on

the esoteric reading of the US is of a nation and a people that made an incredibly tight Faustian bond with the technocapital gods. they gained incredible powers from this at the cost of a bunch of other things (stable community, racial harmony, low inequality etc)

no other country is able to compete with because they're not willing to make the same sacrifices, but they end up grappling with the American multinationals sprawling forth from our lands anyway China thinks it found a happy medium but it will be running up against Faust soon

nick land has probably said all this somewhere more eloquently but i will not be memed into reading fanged noumena

@ne0agent1c brain dead take sorry

aside: this is clear from China trying to curb the power of its billionaires speaking out against them — valiant but it will sacrifice technocapital

China: strong cultural capital, able to enforce draconian lockdowns in weeks, avoid brunt of pandemic via pure cohesion US: most elites don’t know what a virus is until April, total incapacity of government and culture, technocapital creates miracle cures in months

@DoctorBillz In terms of calories per acre Chinese land is unrivaled, and most modern civs have done a bit of native slaughter

@paleoludic doesn’t seem at all true

@ne0agent1c industry will shift to space leaving earth a residential paradise

@AgainstGop true, but we likely disagree about the relative importance of these terms. For example I think everyone in the US will be pretty unhappy but the country will continue to win

@AgainstGop Yeah the “natives” are fucked

@LudditeHacker Agreed, it doesn’t matter to anybody except the engineers and scientists how the universe is actually built. And the materialist view may actively damage them

@CesarAndreu What about them?

@LudditeHacker common story I hear of people being depressed as materialists and becoming happier once they adopt a mythopoetic worldview

@ITBeHa we know for example that American megacorps had their Chinese factories back online by mid 2020
