@joe_r_Odonnell incredible

@ITBeHa have you seen the other East Asians? Taiwan shuts down whole cities (voluntarily and gladly) when there’s one detected case of covid — it’s safe to assume that China does the same and their culture can’t realistically allow the virus to rampage

@ITBeHa SARS did a number on them - imo Americans are too optimistic about Chinese ability to control info flow outwards. One leaked video is all it takes to learn the truth. Much easier to control info flow inwards by monitoring the platforms

@CesarAndreu effective map of what?

@_rajkhare Yep — founders fund thesis is absolutely right. Founder above all

@telmudic Ya this is a clear cut recipe for success don’t know what she’s on about

@telmudic I think nonzerosum industries tend to reward good behavior more than others

@garybasin absolutely, lotta perfect score nerds on this site coping

@skdh the bottom of the abstraction stack is far sexier than the top in software and in science kernel devs are wizards whereas application engineers are monke

@metakuna same except its like 100 no matter what dogshit i post, not good for my gradient descent

@LoicTheStoic the former is in conflict with the latter in nearly all cases

@metakuna whoa

@paleoludic every moment of every day you’re successfully caching actions im glad I don’t really have to think about the route when I drive myself to the gym

inspired by this thread maybe? https://x.com/antoniogm/status/1419324449573138438

@AlecStapp @bgurley @AswathDamodaran Gurley and his team are the vultures that kept uber from being worth a trillion dollars

@pee_zombie I’ve tried

Gonna readdict myself to building instead of poasting

@Amplitron my thoughts exactly. Poast only about BUIDL or science

@kyzcralotSxaM I told you to play me a melody boy, not a malady!

@houellebecq_2 exquisite trolling boss. thought you were serious at first, then I saw you gave Hawaii a 5

@houellebecq_2 I mean me neither but I’ve seen the videos

@nickcammarata i mostly use NGMI as a joke but it seems to be a useful concept culturally

@boop 🤝

@nickcammarata https://x.com/tszzl/status/1416474705431650305

@nickcammarata Elon is a great example — do you think he would do the things he does if he wasn’t miserable and tortured? Is it “load bearing”? If you could press a button and raise his baseline satisfaction would he quit all his jobs and go chill on the beach with his kids

@nickcammarata im not sure of the answer but would be an awesome world if happiness and ambition are not disassociated. i know it’s definitely the case for some people that they can exist together “tap dancing to work”

@ollyrobot what’d they do this time king

@ollyrobot ime individual owner operators are usually better but not by that much. less professional but better response time

@ollyrobot 🤬

@ollyrobot oh wow

broke: we don't know which direction the causation points bespoke: it's a feedback loop 😏

@andrej_haulis so true

im glad the NeurIPS spotlight papers every year are like "we have figured out how neural net works this time i swear" bc at least they're trying to do a bit of science instead of some fake engineering that doesn't scale

@marx_knopfler it's because nobody understands them

@ollyrobot one of the only games left that doesn't have a nice software layer

@ollyrobot probably getting to scale is hard (but not impossible) due to irregularity of market rules every city and state in the US has vastly different housing regs, not sure about UK

@andrej_haulis it really do be like that sometimes

@ollyrobot fucking stripe

this is the way isn't it https://x.com/Amplitron/status/1419389350022983681?s=20

@ollyrobot no its great im glad someone made it but https://x.com/tszzl/status/1406790704991334405?s=20

@ollyrobot i cannot imagine a drudgery more profound than making a payments app work in hundreds/thousands of regulatory jurisdictions but mr. collison makes it look sexy

@monodevice sitting here like a trad chad with Edward Stanley translation

@boop based

@AnthonyLeeZhang seems inverse in Bay Area

@AnthonyLeeZhang @krishnanrohit might just be the zero sum economics of heavily restricted land usage

@bryancsk and your location in ur twitter profile!

all the flashy deepmind papers are like "we used 12 intermediate losses and a 5 stage architecture" meanwhile openai papers are like "we made the model bigger"

not to shit on the latter lol. its hard distributed systems work to train giant scale models

@monodevice that’s kinda messed up bro i just snuck into a bar via the cargo door

@monodevice @lisatomic5 she’s testing you bro https://x.com/tszzl/status/1418829735631667208

@TenreiroDaniel we should have more countries

there should be at least one or two digital countries that I can become a citizen of. e-stonia baby

will not rest until the US normalizes trade relations with Decentraland

@AgainstGop @TenreiroDaniel lmao

@lisatomic5 @monodevice @skugern Lmao

@default_dad amazing

@AgainstGop nice

a guy yesterday cited a study, I said the study didn’t replicate and he said “reproducibility is Reddit” can’t argue with that

the boundary between based and cringe is shifting everyday. watch out folks. stay safe

@michaelcurzi This seems autistic

@nickcammarata doesn’t seem to change my mental experience sharply enough to call it tripping

@95thoughts @nickcammarata yeah but this actually makes it feel less like tripping remembering a really weird experience is a more powerful than just not remembering anything

@ouranometrian lets say even just 10% of people find them dangerously addictive then caution is probably warranted tho i dont know the ins and outs of why they dont just use them more sparingly instead of banning

@NonMurkyConsqnc @seconds_0 0 peers. gotta be category defining

@DesidErratum i said what i said 😇

@MelancholyYuga interesting you say that because i work at a big company that's clearly a monopolist and they're still cut throat about it

@michaelcurzi you're just not enough of a headcase curzi

@Noahpinion feels like the lead time on that plant is far too slow to address current shortages but good for geopolitics 👍

@whomademecrispy history will heartily laugh at AI researchers who make fun of the fact that there used to be a job called “programmer”

this is clearly wrong https://x.com/clairlemon/status/1419431528845635587

the causal pathway of Tylenol is mysterious. But I’ll still keep taking that garbage

@LudditeHacker real glad you came up with the magic number of a century

@LudditeHacker ok but here we are using the 20 year old internet 10 hours a day without having any clue what it does to our minds the world is a dynamic mess and the only constant is change

i can and i will

@LudditeHacker 1) i'm confident ivermectin is useless against covid 2) it's been around for like 50 odd years and probably won't kill you 3) completely fine to throw shit against the wall and see what sticks. assuming the downside risk is arbitrarily large based on nothing is not at all sound

@DesidErratum so true. jack please let me hit your Time Servers

@_Sowellsista_ gotta be early 20th century history of physics for me. will simp 1910-1930 4ever

@LudditeHacker basically every medical threat is immediate if people are dying by the millions to cancer or heart disease or whatever our risk tolerance in experimentation should be very high

@LudditeHacker though i will admit ADs and hormonal birth control seem a little bit more valid to worry about

rotating my tweets through time dimension https://x.com/DesidErratum/status/1419602318861889538?s=20

@andrej_haulis Drafts are stored in the balls

@JackMastrangelo @_Sowellsista_ Ya

@chopstickfury01 yea but with shitty logic

@monodevice she’s broadly right but for the wrong reasons

if you're so smart why aren't you realizing intelligence can only ever be the slave of the passions and therefore this joke format doesnt make sense 😌

@nickcammarata so true king

@StevenWillcox2 if it’s incomprehensible that’s a failure of the tweeter!

@parafactual wait im not sure I get it say more

Pascal’s wager pt 2 https://x.com/ded_ruckus/status/1419709608126468096

the downside risk of using whom is INFINITE

@MegaBasedChad yea same I bite the bullet on All Pascals wagers

@wannabegroncho @95thoughts @michaelcurzi ya it’s a great engagement hack i received through cultural evolution

@halvorz lmaooo the most halvorz interaction ever

@MorlockP yeah that’s an idiotic take. I mean look at how Enders game deals with the many factions in the “One World Government”, or how it falls apart right after the buggers are defeated the telos of 1WG is more like “there are bigger enemies right now”

@alth0u look up neural cellular automata hehe

@halvorz it sucks and they clearly wrote the python wrapper as an afterthought

@NLRG_ isn’t it the priming effect of the greeter. psychic believing mfs cause galvanic response by looking weird

@BarneyFlames each subsequent media format becomes more “effective” else it wouldn’t beat the last one. so could be right

@thesravaka it’s none of those things but rather the desire to do things cheaply at scale

@thesravaka everyone says self driving cars will be “safer” but it’s a sideshow compared to the boatloads of money to be saved from cars driving themselves we would deploy them even if they were 10x less safe than humans and had no hope of becoming safer

@thesravaka but agree more generally. humans can be improved

@nectarina12 @cateliseh NGMI

@thesravaka idk is it? i think “I would rather have a human identify if every image on google is violence or porn but it’s too expensive” is a very different sentiment than “computers are better than humans”

@halvorz ps i have had more luck with py3dmol

@halvorz yea best used with jupyter notebook

@halvorz oh you mean a full GUI nocode? then no

@jeff82874662 1KYAE 😎

once again maxxed out on robinhood margin lmao

@AOCummies mfw return of NeolibDrew

@liminal_warmth inertia.

@liminal_warmth they cost me a similar amount during the $AMC debacle. That’s ok, I’ll still keep using that garbage

@sorkincel @AOCummies it’s over for drewcels

@alth0u idk the latter is uncompelling due to postscarcity only important resource is attention

@alth0u like sending most people a coupon won’t change their consumption habits that much, and to a decreasing degree over time

@alth0u how? razor thin margins no matter what

@alth0u it turns out the mcdonalds gross margins are insanely high so you may be right

@alth0u if the margin was like 5% then they'd need to make you buy more than $1000 of extra mcdonalds a year to get to fb levels of LTV. but the gross margins are something insane like 50%

@alth0u but still the open questions are like app that sends deals is adverse selection for lower margin purchases people that download coupon apps are adverse selection for low income cunsomers (aside from asian dad mfs like @alth0u)

@TenreiroDaniel how is he not able to get a wealthy benefactor

@alt1na1 @Noahpinion @davyde @TheStalwart laundering money to a foreign shell company via buying shipments of nothing I guess

“its all i can do to look after myself and my family” - guy in the financial and cognitive elite of the richest country in history

@FunkyDuffy @alt1na1 @Noahpinion @davyde @TheStalwart recipient pays

@leepavelich I did not

@arctanno true iirc @lisatomic5 set up an urbit for @monodevice. so cute

@FunkyDuffy @alt1na1 @Noahpinion @davyde @TheStalwart China to LA is also expensive containers being pooled in wrong places it turns out doesn’t make it that much cheaper on the return trip

@FunkyDuffy @alt1na1 @Noahpinion @davyde @TheStalwart LA to China*

@kyzcralotSxaM she was 😎

@monodevice @arctanno @lisatomic5 true that’s why im leaving Greek myth to the boys @monodevice and @jeff82874662

@kyzcralotSxaM nick who?

@powerbottomdad1 this mf spittin

@monodevice @arctanno @lisatomic5 @jeff82874662 no.

@alth0u filing rn

@ouranometrian @arctanno @spatermensch thats the joke!

@powerbottomdad1 @monodevice the truth is i smoked a lot of Spice and calculated that i had to leave the gc to prevent greater calamities in the future. uont even know what i saved u from

@jeff82874662 @modernafinil @monodevice why this mf blocked me

@monodevice @powerbottomdad1 this mf not spittin

somethings gotta be done about MIT grads

@n55939491957681 completely true

@n55939491957681 ive never met a CMU grad that hasnt been insanely smart. MIT hit or miss

@candrianillborn @n55939491957681 lmao

@ProfoundPilled @monodevice wouldnt say this about my worst enemy

@petergodofsky @n55939491957681 yeah tbf i only know CS people

@About_Medicine @ArtirKel @michael_nielsen yeah because someone had to write a CUDA library to run neural nets on graphics cards. once that happened the NN revolution was on its way

@eigenrobot @AlphaSlavic @monodevice if i do a podcast its all downhill from there

@juicylifeforce @finnitejest its half the website

@juicylifeforce @finnitejest many people here displaying a level of risk tolerance that's ... less than honorable

@michaelcurzi where is the noblesse oblige curzi!!!

@terfdavidicke so true

@terfdavidicke @chopstickfury01 i love my rooncult

@terfdavidicke @AOCummies lmfao

@bantablack i am always smirking

ok ...... covid has finally gone too far, it reduces shape rotation abilities https://x.com/clairlemon/status/1418716051311775744

friendship with covid cancelled

@NemoBane @michaelcurzi the rich must fill in as nobility for the most part they do a pretty good job imo, funding arts + sciences + charities

the study is probably bullshit but thats ok

what is the most impressive collective action that has been organized via crypto or smart contracts other than black markets?

are there any corporations run as DAOs? numerai is a "decentralized hedge fund" but the cryptocoin doesnt seem vital to the business

@DefiDiogenesYFI what is the collective action here? its just another exchange

@swapp19902 nah ive been hearing about DAOs for 5+ years

@woke8yearold can you tldr me this is a derivatives exchange yeah? where does the governance come in

@woke8yearold that's neat indeed but fundamentally its inside baseball crypto governance for crypto exchanges waiting for when it might run even a small sized corporation that dabbles in digital or real world services b4 balaji types talk about countries on the blockchain and shit

@TylerChambers organizing people in ways that create value outside of crypto ecosystem

@Nexuist its just a black market

@alexandrosM if you are shilling ivermectin here you will not find friends

@tathtrod maybe but black markets are table stakes now. crypto claims to be more

@AOCummies @AFPoster @jane_gatsby it’s just a series of blogposts that people take somewhat too seriously. I will try my hardest to literally never say postrat anymore

@CathPoaster @n55939491957681 stroking my ego rn

@alexandrosM my bad I was taking a run. Yeah agreed

@CathPoaster @n55939491957681 im the villain 🥰

love my rooncult https://x.com/terfdavidicke/status/1419834852078235664

we will be structured after #roamcult cc @Conaw

@NLRG_ imagine caring about the dem primary one second after Super Tuesday

@NLRG_ actually imagine caring about it ever.

@postpostpostr they are joking

@ChrisCroy I didn’t even watch the video

@Hellachans I knew you would be the first person to see this. I sensed it psychically

@leepavelich Nikola Tesla

buying menthols in the San Francisco black markets

@coopslarhette no these are fake conflicts invented by haters. Both are good

@alth0u ngmi https://x.com/alth0u/status/1410793872708431872?s=20

@parafactual so true

@glockwitdanuts @PrinceVogel king

@erf_of_why true

@eigenrobot i love normies so much

@eigenrobot win win

@GorysTRS @eigenrobot bro you’re not a normie but I still love you https://t.co/ag8E7UJOT9

@Virtual1nstinct one of the most transparent psyops. love to see you getting techno capital pilled

@trevorjtweets hmmm

@TenreiroDaniel it’s clear that Xi read some ted K

@sagar__dubey yeah that’s awesome

@whomademecrispy no please lead the way

@lisatomic5 yeah one of the best government interventions in software would be forcing companies to open an API layer that’s amenable to one of these agents

@arctanno @lolitsnotreal_ Murphy text

@telmudic the Mormons will be first to embrace wombtanks

@reconfigurthing @enemy_egal @telmudic goat tweet

@halvorz yeah it’s a cope for not having a grand theory of which academics we can trust i will always trust engineers to figure out the optimal temperature of a McDonald’s coffee but need scientists to get to an understanding of anything not in direct contact with market forces

@halvorz moreover the lines are very blurry in academia who is an engineer vs scientist might just have been my labs but the titles of our papers were always “X: A Novel way to do Y” the telos was invention rather than discovery

@halvorz both in analytical chemistry (which is not engineering) and machine learning (more explicitly engineering)

@LucreSnooker @halvorz @gwern Goatest blog post of all time

@kristineCreates @halvorz Optimal for whom tho

@arctanno 18 hours twitter scree time

unfortunately there’s no neat theory of causal path between science and engineering many such cases for both science preceding engineering and engineering preceding science sometime around early 20th century theory seems to have outstripped application in physics cc @atroyn

@michaelcurzi I agree but the trad conclusion seems like a non sequitur as far as I can tell satisfaction stays constant after a hedonic treadmill period — so why should I prefer modesty or obscenity? it just doesn’t seem to matter

@Duderichy @arctanno an hour

@LudditeHacker @atroyn you disagree?

@devarbol @atroyn yet it makes quite good predictions that cost billions of dollars to test (but we have done so successfully)

@lisatomic5 isn’t it just constrained optimization on a surface being less bad along what my possibilities frontier allows thank u for listening to roon reddit hour

the old testament is clearly polytheistic

@Excaliburproxy it runs deeper than that

@lisatomic5 is it true? many in the private sector that seem to have both

@djmicrobeads @lisatomic5 that’s the tradeoff the Americans make tbh … accept trash governance for technocapital excellence

@PrinceVogel 😅

@default_dad game changer

@_Sowellsista_ @talkingrevolut1 yeah multiple layers but nobody is gonna come on here and brag about their insanely good casual sex and even if they did it’s not the kind of content that thrives on twitter unless they make it funny somehow

@lisatomic5 i guess I find the “balance sheet” approach equally valid to the “historyless” framing

@lisatomic5 like … why do medical students spend like kings even though they’re deeply in debt? they have some intuition that the NPV of their career is high

@lisatomic5 I gotta think further tho this is not very rigorous. Time to whip out the MDPs

@_Sowellsista_ @talkingrevolut1 Ya agreed. there’s just a lot of trad accounts saying people (especially women) universally hate casual sex and have psyopped themselves into doing it anyway seems extremely doubtful!

@talkingrevolut1 @_Sowellsista_ for sure! making a more limited point about immediate enjoyment

@jeff82874662 @TenreiroDaniel why the outburst jef?

@95thoughts @jeff82874662 @TenreiroDaniel Latvian mfs on a hair trigger

@decadantism blockchain based esoterica and horror fics

@weebertarian true

excessive worldbuilding is a common crutch for bad SFF writers

every ounce of lore has to be earned by the actual narrative being interesting

@monsterofcook of course!

@prerationalist I give a pass to sf writers whose backstory is extremely above average interesting. Like Greg egan can worldbuild all he wants

@prerationalist “a temporal void with interesting physical properties is teleporting around the world” oh fuck I’m in tell me more

@ne0agent1c https://x.com/ollyrobot/status/1418587304675926016

@mattparlmer thinking this might be malformed what if we wirehead to make running civilization pleasurable

@houellebecq_2 @mattparlmer it’s really not in many cases

@monodevice most of the greats do it in fine measure. more interesting is who does it worst this tweet spurred by Raya and the Last Dragon

0 glory in b2b startups. the only people that will respect you are other technology brothers

@vgr seems wrong to me re: adderall

@thebestestpie you say hate, i say grudgingly admire

@alth0u ngmi just put the case on the desk and open it with one hand

nobody can read about this 'Evoformer' thing and think we've even halfway tapped the potential of self-attention

@prdctnomics you only know about stripe because you're in tech

@monsterofcook is the fallout lore excessive? i don't think so

@akbirthko no! GoT earns its lore, LoTR revolutionized lore

@marx_knopfler yep pairwise self attention approach between genetic histories and protein features

@spakhm not always!

to be clear its an architecture block from the alphafold2 paper

@marx_knopfler they call it triangle self attention which i havent fully wrapped my head around but like the intuition is that when you update 2 pairwise distances (A ->B) and (A -> C) then you should update (B -> C) as well (triangle inequality rule AB + AC > BC)

@AgainstGop @monsterofcook yep the games make sense and are fun without digging deeply into the lore and then you can do that and it gets better!

@houellebecq_2 yeah honestly i changed my mind on this one after i posted it definitely mfs hiding their lack of any interesting thought whatsoever by naming 100 different minor lords or new terminology

@marx_knopfler yep

@marx_knopfler the triangle updates are common in bio and chemo-informatics but i'm not sure exactly what 'triangle self attention' means yet

@brandonazheng well yeah but i'm saying it admits the existence of other gods & not just that other fake gods were being worshipped

@brandonazheng Genesis 3:22 NIV 'And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”'

@brandonazheng christians would say he is referring to the plural trinity jews would say he is referring to the orders of angels i say he is referring to other gods

@pee_zombie ya i believe utterly that the universe is bound by natural law that doesn't get tampered with but this is not a very strong claim because natural law can encompass anything

@pee_zombie natural law doesnt even disallow nondeterminism there are rule based systems that include randomness

@pee_zombie is it a new age cringe Science religion? maybe so be it because it's useful to me and feels true

@Levi7hart @pee_zombie reread what i said

@mahdiofalltime this is true meaning of cosmic absurdism in the vein of douglas adams but it takes a real chad to accept

@_rajkhare true

@Cererean dont know why people fetishize these evolved road patterns that are clearly impossible to navigate modern city should have planned streets and let the buildings / land use evolve

kaggle challenges be like "ok solve this problem thats easily hard enough to merit a nips/iclr paper and will create tens of millions of dollars of value for us and we will give you a few k"

@CountJ0ecool @pee_zombie according to some interpretations

@tunguz @mlanetrain hell yeah!

@EdMillerPoker @spakhm yes

@BollingerBeans @whothatovathere some of them yeah

@powerbottomdad1 @TenreiroDaniel so true

@reconfigurthing idk I think this is stretching the word to the point where it doesn’t make sense

@kyzcralotSxaM definitely fake but I wish it were real

@0x543211 @kyzcralotSxaM not really it means software ate the world and the level of technology we once thought was important has become hidden under new abstraction layers

@kyzcralotSxaM https://x.com/tszzl/status/1419782221657895015

mk ultra is extreme normie tier conspiracy / esotericism dont even talk to me unless you're on the brain level of "lindyman = talebs alt"

@rickyflows gonna throw a party and call it a pogrom and nobody will question it

@leepavelich lmao

people act like old layers of the technology stack becoming commoditized and hidden under abstractions is some kind of moral failure

@terfdavidicke its bc you love me. costar doesnt lie

@terfdavidicke so true

@houellebecq_2 usually its progress

@default_dad safe assumption

@SlothRedux @default_dad https://x.com/tszzl/status/1420560554175860744?s=20

@lisatomic5 @eigenrobot you prolly already considered this but can you just pay someone to do it? im gonna try and outsource more work i hate going forward lol

@SigmaNick heeeeere am i sitting in a tin can

@lisatomic5 @eigenrobot upwork mostly. i think for your case tho there are some audio transcription gig sites

@Noahpinion noah smith

@liminal_warmth @lisatomic5 @eigenrobot u have a fulltime assistant? nice

@liminal_warmth @lisatomic5 @eigenrobot wondering what kind of work do you outsource? admin stuff?

why are there no "agents" or "personal managers" for high powered software people

@diviacaroline naw was subtweeting someone complaining about their cars becoming substrate for over the air software updates

@AgainstGop something about this website is really funny to me but yeah actually needed

@boop probably more wrangling than usual lol

@lowqualitybot lol @ the people who complain c++ stdlib is too bloated

@postpostpostr i'll learn how to fix my faucet when it leaks other than that i'll only learn if its fun / interesting

@default_dad @Duderichy probably nothing because we can't give them access to company internals. it only works if you're running your own thing

@telmudic yeah the point isnt to unquestioningly accept abstractions

@RobertCinci @leepavelich so true king

@AgainstGop @Conaw @akbirthko it’s decent entertainment dawg it doesn’t need to be Shakespeare

@arctanno I do this but on a tablet so I just look cringe

@akbirthko @Conaw yeah the movies are trash from beginning to end, only the books

@Conaw @akbirthko im judging game of thrones by the unfinished book series and not the atrocity of a tv show

@arctanno Fuccc

@chaosprime 😂 lmao

@chaosprime tbf I know many of these people semantically but have no idea how they look

@ded_ruckus @PstafarianPrice yeah actually

@kitten_beloved yeah but do you realize he’s describing more than a mild executive dysfunction unable to will yourself to do things at all

@kitten_beloved it’s not like “finding boring things boring and hard to do is indicative of medical issues” more like finding boring things impossible

@kitten_beloved im speaking for myself and not eigen at this point but there were several times in college where I stayed up all night because I couldn’t convince myself to write a dumbass presentation I had no interest in hugely harmful to me

so the internet is definitely producing attention deficits at industrial scale right. what are we gonna do about that

@eigenrobot and pray ssc is right and it’s not neurotoxic

@ctjlewis I don’t even want to think about it

@alth0u say more

certain kind of smart person needed to develop zero discipline in school to get by, last minute panic + neurotic anxiety as sole engine of personal energy now supercharged by diabetic feedback loop of attentional spike and dysregulation via recommender systems

@jdcmedlock my god

@gbrl_dick this starts far before working age

@cauchyfriend @eigenrobot ime the latter does nothing for me

@spatermensch @eigenrobot well it seems more socially acceptable to be stimmed every day than drunk every day

@casualteesofwar @eigenrobot what is a dopamine dysregulation disorder

i have a hard time believing that adderall doesn’t just create tolerance and kick problem down the curb

@quantumVerd lol this is also what I figure as well. Create enough stress for myself that I stay focused. Guess I gotta go start a company now

@samson_hu lol yeah same

@notlinear1 not taboo just forgotten

@cauchyfriend @alth0u love this phrase so much lentilmaxxing so lindy for Indians

@context_ing @gbrl_dick yea my attention was fucked even when I was doing genuinely interesting cutting edge research. no hope now while I tune ad models

@whentheacidhits this is heartening

@whentheacidhits idk man I’m sure there’s worse shit for the heart

@mccue @whentheacidhits tell me

@pragueyerrr damn wish there were some countries with free college that we could check in on to see if this is happening

@alt1na1 🙏

@NemoBane my feeling is that any possible training regime falls short of the task at hand

@stelladingus @PrinceVogel

@WillManidis damn this v1 sucks. it doesnt actually make anyone happier

@LudditeHacker ya

@FelixParhelion its a meme

@nEquals001 @kitten_beloved its most certainly not a nice time

@NemoBane thats what i mean tho -- we're training for modern adhd world day in day out to spend half an hour a day meditating doesnt counteract that

@jeff82874662 when the guy in the ads mines asks it he has more credibility 😀

@tjrwriting @zsr5 thought it would be a smaller %

@default_dad @monodevice thanks for catering to my fragile ego lemy

@nEquals001 @kitten_beloved no i certainly understanding doing stuff at night -- thats the only way ive ever done anything but staying up all night to make a 5 slide powerpoint, that truly felt like my soul was slipping out of my body

@akashkulgod lmao so true

counterpoint:

what is it about the nighttime that makes it easier to concentrate? is it - the temporary high of sleep deprivation - some biological rhythm that gives a burst of executive function towards the night - is it that no ones up on the internet and i can focus

@petergodofsky @halvorz @sgodofsk @AlanMCole @AlexGodofsky sorry ive done my habit of liking whole threads without even reading them

@petergodofsky @halvorz @sgodofsk @AlanMCole @AlexGodofsky but now there are others liking the twete too 🙄

@powerbottomdad1 like no one expects you to work? idk thats probably a negative like 10-6 i feel some urgency to work (but dont do it) 6-some ungodly hour im just chilling even tho theres no expectation some ungodly hour -- im getting work done!

@arctanno is fair but ive tried waking up super early and same effect is not present

@SeanMombo yea the deadline thing may be importnat here!

@petergodofsky @halvorz @sgodofsk @AlanMCole @AlexGodofsky if you get the godofsky straight flush you can summon Godofsky the Forbidden One and win the game

if you get this in your replies you can summon Godofsky the Forbidden One and win the game

@My_twiter_alt truueee lol but this is so bad for health and missing sleep

@KeynesianYama lol

@tehpio i know that link will never drop. ive been waiting for months

...

@iseawhales @jupiterean when i get off it i just watch netflix more or something. twitter > netflix

@kristineCreates true

@AOCummies i mean easily somewhere in new york

hmmm

@BroductManager crazy how amphetamine addicts overrepresented in fidi

@bayes_baes independent thinker just means schizophrenic

they made this thing ridiculous with the climate branding but mechanically transforming rooms and furniture r just cool. someone should make a nice luxury brand out of it instead. "these transform because it looks cyberpunk af and for no other reason" https://x.com/Joshmedia/status/1414381981295685640

many are saying that you need to become slightly dumber and more tired before you reach peak output capacity. midwits win again

@SODAL1S nice

@nickcammarata so true

@cateliseh 🤦‍♀️ there are people who can even get pissed at an account as nice as yours

@alth0u I hate this shit man it’s what makes deep RL research hell keep staring at those tensorboards I’m sure it’ll work soon!

@altachron so true

@patio11 gpt does significantly better lol

@BroductManager so true

@BroductManager retvrn to 1984

@BroductManager would honestly invest as much as i possibly could in anduril if its open market. however i dont want to join them

@enemy_egal @BroductManager too late stage to invest my time imo early enough to invest money tho

@halvorz isnt there a greg egan story about this

@halvorz went back and reread it. similar: theres a rapist going around whose DNA is made up of nonstandard engineered nucleotide bases so the PCR traces arent working

@SigmaNick hbd!

@alth0u humanity will diverge into leftwing L-DNA transhumans and rightwing D-DNA primitivists

@halvorz also, give it to me straight doc, the methods section looks like gibberish to me: how applicable is this method to creating RNA polymerase or ribosomes and when can we have L-humans

@pis_slute lotr lore was so fresh and interesting that it allows for ok plot

@halvorz oh shit oh fuck

@halvorz wait wait wait so you can make a shitty inefficient ribosome with only RNA pol? in that case: make shitty_L_ribosome manufacture L-ribosomal proteins with shitty_L_ribosome(ribosome_protein_L_dna) -> good_L_ribosome -> nega roon coming soon

the first C compiler was written in 🅱️

@Lan_Dao_ no, why should I?

the first L-protein compiler was written in D-protein

@Lan_Dao_ doesnt this lead to the meme of "increasingly psychopathic self love fanatic" like if i commit a heinous crime why should i love that part of me

@halvorz do it halvorz

@MencianLegalism @halvorz why would this be true? the mirror chemistry is identical no?

@michaelcurzi is it just running out of memory? maybe you need a beefier computer

@papayathreesome @halvorz The Moat

@Nexuist @eigenrobot https://x.com/tszzl/status/1398532933326196737?s=20

@Nexuist @eigenrobot you can't actually rotate enantiomers into their mirror image because those mirror image bonds are physically stable but you can rotate many other flexible bonds

@asingleoat @MencianLegalism @halvorz why would weak nuclear force act at chemical scales?

@asingleoat @MencianLegalism @halvorz oh nvm misread your thing

its time https://x.com/tszzl/status/1420964217474015233?s=20

its time https://x.com/tszzl/status/1420961191615029249?s=20

i hate the interview question "what is the hardest problem you've solved / debugged" like ok let me give you 2 hours of background on this technical issue and why its hard and then you'll be impressed

@alth0u yeah i mean my real c*pe here is that i immediately and reflexively forget any hard problem i solve due to trauma

@twinfrey @michaelcurzi in the past its always been compute issues and it resolves as soon as i uploaded to cloud render servers

@halvorz @sgodofsk at least we would solve global warming in the process

@halvorz @sgodofsk mirror algal bloom -> cant be eaten and carbon rereleased, eventually die after depleting iron this is the way but im guessing it would be way easier just synthesizing some phytoplankton with indigestible/unfamiliar proteins

@asingleoat god I love rooning around

@sgodofsk @Duderichy @monodevice they’re all bad except the 5th one which is godly

@eigenrobot Hehe https://x.com/tszzl/status/1420977329518436357

@eigenrobot https://x.com/tszzl/status/1420979784192970759

@arctanno @eigenrobot eigens thread is a good explainer from bio 101 level. as far as significance I’m not sure it’s significant (yet) just interesting

@Always123BC @asingleoat lmao where are you getting this numbers

@countersigil @Duderichy @sgodofsk @monodevice i don’t care lol it’s funny & great location for the scene

@UnfinishedOwl @Duderichy @sgodofsk @monodevice Subtle knife may be my favorite YA novel ever. TAS also amazing

@eigenrobot @nickcammarata @uncatherio meh maybe but think of the flipside! make L-viruses in the lab and study them, nbd if escape

@SarahAMcManus @eigenrobot @nickcammarata @uncatherio oh true

@eigenrobot @nickcammarata @uncatherio ok not saying it wouldnt be catastrophic but someone who can engineer L Cyanobacteria can also make its natural predator bacterium and then it’ll be brave new world

@cuniiform @halvorz yep that was my thought

@__frye have a feeling this would fuck your digestion lmao

@SarahAMcManus @eigenrobot @nickcammarata @uncatherio what if we just had phytoplankton and zooplankton wouldn’t they equilibriate

@eigenrobot @noahzsolomon @nickcammarata @uncatherio now we gotta worry about L-plasmid replicators 🤣

@eigenrobot @noahzsolomon @nickcammarata @uncatherio is there a way to do that with the tools we have so far? I thought it’s path dependent but maybe if you engineer some special ribosomal proteins that are able to make the mirror image proteins of the mRNA…

a neural activation pattern, and therefore a Shape 😎 https://t.co/eUAnFMEHKv

@leaacta so true

@blisstweeting @nickcammarata that’s the joke!

give me an transformation good enough and I can call you a vector https://x.com/nickcammarata/status/1421020300758618119

@R1Jack of course

@__frye @ZacharyHundley oh shit oh fuck oh shit

you have 80 something years to achieve semantic immortality

i dont know why would people go into consulting when non-tech roles in the tech industry will pay you 2x as much for 0.5x the work and sometimes you can accidentally create real products

@luke_metro that’s true yeah. more options

@altsanabo @what_tar_nation product manager too

@chiefofstuffs fair how’d you get your CoS role?

@alth0u QC

@alth0u because you’re both Asian get it

@alth0u np

@bryancsk @jachaseyoung True!

@MegaBasedChad Inshallah

@MegaBasedChad consumer banking is of course a trash market that only survives due to the ability to give added value with other products on top such as CCs

@MegaBasedChad now that stripe turned “bank account” into a commoditized conceptual product that doesn’t differentiate between banks at all I’m guessing someone like robinhood will just own the younger consumer banking market

@reconfigurthing whoa

@alth0u @costa11235 no thats @jeff82874662

@DogIsABot @gigafelon @abelianraisin It doesn’t pay off to be cool and miserable lmao 90% of my consulting friends have jumped to tech

@powerbottomdad1 @SarahAMcManus @eigenrobot @nickcammarata @uncatherio ur mom

@eigenrobot absolutely swole baby

family as a generational organism you need to learn things your parents are incapable of learning adapt their core memeset to new environment

@pee_zombie hope you feel better man

“I like posts I agree with but reply to posts I disagree with” into “roon is just a contrarian” pipeline

Bronze Age Grindset

@Substr8Monopoly @95thoughts if you have limited compute substrate, learning is another word for rewriting. after a while you might have rewritten yourself out of existence

@whomademecrispy most people are mindlessly scrolling, you don’t need their interaction anyways. I will be deep in your replies king

@Tom_Hirschfeld sad if true!

you can interview with companies beginning to end who don’t ask for resumes lol. amazing

@AlecStapp QALYs tho

@AlecStapp not to be crass but the people dying in the wars are like 20 vs the median age of covid death is like 70

@lisatomic5 idk im not actually that worried about this, seems way less pressing than AI or even normal engineered superbugs

@reconfigurthing no it’s core to his worldview and not non sequitur I think just like people try to separate lovecrafts racial stuff from his fiction — doesn’t make sense

@reconfigurthing i don’t agree with either of them on many things but im glad he’s there for me to peruse

it’s an interesting approach. I kinda like it

@erf_of_why @Altimor @AlecStapp 🤐

@iamwhoisme total cope because “rationalism” is basically the de facto ideology of the silicon valley ppl distilled to its principles by yud and ssc and whoever

@iamwhoisme anyway they’re successful because they’re smart and skilled with technology and not because of whatever intellectual fashion of their time https://x.com/tszzl/status/1319182635466358784

@alth0u I very much think that the general form of language model is solved via external text retrieval, but unfortunately makes it somewhat hard to train at scale when you’re waiting for the network call

@alth0u and some kind of NTM memory thing
