@chairsign demand for stablecoins is high and USDT is a scam
@grantadever idk maybe $500
@alth0u i have one for you ser DM only
@VivaLaPanda_ @aniiyengar @ctjlewis the point is that over time the pegged debt supply of stablecoins should be much larger than cash supply that requires real reserves

they will see and do things others cannot, speak in a certain way, even without trying

@NLRG_ i mean yes but like all goods are positional in some sense due to decreasing marginal utility
@NLRG_ any competitor increasing the quality of their anything decreases my utility tho
@NLRG_ like lets say im not a half bad sushi chef. only japanese food in town, i can charge very high prices if i want. then another one rolls in and cuts my pricing power down. utility of my chef abilities decreased no?
but sushi is an absolute good

@Willyintheworld @mollyfmielke me too but 90% of them are about ‘08 lol
@mollyfmielke is there something hymn worthy about cocaine and hookers?
@Noahpinion True the ebikes escooters and self driving test vehicles are some of our best cyberpunk features
@Noahpinion ok good point the metaverse has gotten pretty cyverpunky… even the existence of this conversation
@Noahpinion Yeah it’s one of the only places in the US that makes me think cyberpunk is real … the other being perhaps the oculus mall
@mollyfmielke lol major culture shock to hear this
let me tell you my grandparents were impressed af with me and sister working at big tech cos
@Noahpinion The protests in general have been incredibly based and cyberpunk … civilian lasers battling police drones!
@Noahpinion yeah I regret not going to Hong Kong in ‘19 lol
was strongly considering it then settled for buying a protest shirt
@Noahpinion next time a neon mega city is under siege I’ll be there to LARP
@aquariusacquah was about to tweet exactly this , no alpha left

@BenjaminDanard yeah not really because the trusted person instantly becomes massively powerful and gatekeeping

Dec 6, 2021, 06:55 AM UTC
@BenjaminDanard like I said trusted third parties always grift
@JackMastrangelo @aniiyengar Jk just jealous I didn’t get the invite
@alth0u simulated annealing
or if thats too reddit then synthetic gradient
@sjataylor @The_Equationist the whole mentality is tech
the whole approach to engineering is tech
Dec 6, 2021, 08:13 AM UTC
men will literally compare everything to gradient descent instead of going to therapy
@alth0u and then sent to mind prison by an AI in 2056
@krishnanrohit @PradyuPrasad starbase is tactically positioned at the edge of the US border 😉

@MegaBasedChad Subhan Allah 🙏🤲
@powerbottomdad1 the dark route to go here is to find a reporter. in fact there may be some reading this convo rn. but it will trap you and your family in a bunch of press stuff that you may not want in an already bad time
@powerbottomdad1 not about money but just to make that company not screw bereaved people over in the future
@gbrl_dick feels real tho
@Rididelduol what the fuck are nd nt
@GuilleAngeris @alth0u buddy we don’t accept game theory in these parts
@what_tar_nation @MegaBasedChad that sounds worryingly like what that one washington examiner dumbass does
Dec 7, 2021, 12:22 AM UTC
builder mentality is "learn only enough to barely do the job and deal with uncertainty as it arises"
academic mentality is "learn everything as it interests me"
but you need both to start a truly novel project. eg how does someone know that it's the right time to start an EV co
@__femb0t did i say something dumb fembot

A space company in 2002.
We used to be a country. A proper country.

>Starbase built at the very edge of the US/Mex. border
>Mars colony wants to be independent of US law
>SpaceX takes fiefdom over north mexico from the cartels in return for free cocaine shipment to mars
>Mars run as theocratic space dictatorship away from FDA
This is the future.
@cauchyfriend we will be rewarded in the afterlife
@AaronPogue @elonmusk which scifi novels spoke of electric cars tho lol
@distributhot the most reddit thing in the world is to hate elon musk.
@BarneyFlames how did they give up on it? If anything they’ve doubled down in recent months by getting rid of radar
Dec 7, 2021, 09:30 AM UTC
@MegaBasedChad yo side note labor markets are gonna be way more efficient now that u can fire people from afar it’s ez
@vers_laLune Subhan Allah 🙏🤲
@kitten_beloved few days ago you made a post that i thought was ragging on a bereaved man. in retrospect i may have just read it wrong

Plutarch’s Life of Alexander is structured like a shounen anime
Dec 7, 2021, 11:19 PM UTC
kind of absurd how cheaply google bought deepmind
Dec 7, 2021, 11:29 PM UTC
@halvorz no alpha left ,,,
@halvorz real talk can’t you just spend like $100k synthesize the thing and get a full cryo-EM very quickly if needed
@halvorz or just conduct the real assay at that point
the point of alphafold seems more like high throughput in silico screening of lots of proteins at once moreso than single targets of astronomical interest
Dec 8, 2021, 12:14 AM UTC
@halvorz I assumed you could get it down under a month given big pharma resources but maybe not
@atroyn the transcendental is almost always taught mimetically unless you’re literally the Buddha
@atroyn so all we have left is trying to access unmediated reality which is of course quite impossible because you need to rely on the abstractions of millions of others
@atroyn i do believe in minimizing abstraction depth tho
@monodevice @powerbottomdad1 i can’t even say mean things abt him right now this is so fucked
@nmoryl @atroyn not really I think it just jumbles up your abstractions which may still be useful
@atroyn i wouldn’t know I’ve never crossed a desert. Simply receiving more socially intermediated mental models 😌

@Noahpinion pretty sure it means someone whose part of a hive mind
Dec 8, 2021, 08:42 AM UTC
so when will everybody admit the interesting part of ML is just datacenter scaling
Dec 8, 2021, 08:48 AM UTC
My therapist suggested that I have generational trauma from the climate change ending the Indus Valley Civilization
@alth0u yeah this is absolutely cope
@latticepolys scientists as well
we’re just making transformers bigger
@MegaBasedChad stfu & let this tweet shine for 15 minutes until I delete it
@xyz_nihilo @cauchyfriend i would not even try anything else for tabular data it’s just dumb
unless you have 10B+ rows then maybe try sparsenet
@Kaelberviridae @halvorz so what you’re saying is that *you* could do it
@postpostpostr @alth0u cope for being bad with computers
@Kaelberviridae @halvorz how quick are we talking
Dec 8, 2021, 07:43 PM UTC
Succession is big tech propaganda to prove that those people deserve to be disrupted and/or killed
@kristleifur lol he’s more based than Roman
@Kaelberviridae @halvorz assuming you know it’s a well behaved protein not too floppy etc
@jake8randomnums @houellebecq_2 who tf enjoys monotonous highway driving dawg it sucks
@knrd_z @postpostpostr @alth0u oh im the first to admit i barely understand computers but the beauty is you dont really need to get them to understand how to fix things
for example if u r buying a smart doorknob or some shit then simply make sure that it works the dumb way when you lose internet connection
@knrd_z @postpostpostr @alth0u problem solved. as for security flaws idc. someone could melt the lock down if they really wanted
@drewg__ fox & nytimes are still around. somewhat diminished roles but id like to see them destroyed
Dec 8, 2021, 10:46 PM UTC
@Roon_VT sir can i buy roon.eth from you
Dec 8, 2021, 11:21 PM UTC
@ProfPujz not an ironic bone in their bodies
@Noahpinion which really tells you that elon isn't just picking ideas out of scifi books. he would've started a nuclear company if he was rather than boring old solar
@nickcammarata true ok two things
scaling and interpreting
Dec 8, 2021, 11:36 PM UTC
@ProfPujz theyre sarcastic asf
Dec 8, 2021, 11:40 PM UTC
idc what twitter nerds say its actually based that modern web pages download 10MBs of javascript to do parallax scrolling that better advertises an ebike or whatever
by 2030 i hope the average web page uses more computation than the entire www in 1990
@GuilleAngeris human agency & time is orders of magnitude more important than energy & computation 😉
make energy too cheap to meter

@PowerMacG4Cube yo ask them to reschedule it for you make up some lie its happened to me before
@zacharylipton ok but i was a TA and this happened to me at age 21
@rSanti97 this is obv fake bro
@ghosttyped @_mihirpatel produces 100s of times more value

@samandbam @ghosttyped @_mihirpatel yeah you’re right it might be too low of an estimate
Dec 9, 2021, 02:41 AM UTC
why would you sell out your legacy in this extremely 2bit embarrassing way lol
https://x.com/Austen/status/1468696313201975297
there’s basically no difference between TechLead selling courses on how to get into faang vs bill clinton
@cauchyfriend that’s different because it’s generally private and kind of elite
@arctanno I took one writing class in college and the prof used my essays as the samples for the rest of the class and then begged me to come study the classics
@arctanno to be clear my essays were trash it’s just the competition was far worse
@cauchyfriend @MegaBasedChad his mental issues are his alpha
@joodaloop @arctanno my years on twitter have taught me far more about writing than any class could’ve
@cauchyfriend @MegaBasedChad still not sure if he fabricated the wife stuff
Dec 9, 2021, 03:14 AM UTC
@dcwych @cateliseh i mean cmon let’s not pretend there’s some magical demarcation between having someone prepare you a pizza vs having someone bring groceries over except that society 20 years ago tolerated the former level of laziness so it feels natural
@MegaBasedChad capitalism is biology baby
Dec 9, 2021, 03:27 AM UTC
@cateliseh @dcwych ya when you take this thought to the extreme though there are no poor ppl left just
@adwaits16 @arctanno nah i never even read those books I was just sparknoting I mean cmon
