@wminshew@dystopiabreaker idk what ur talking about dawg theres a separation between users and devs
the users dont need to think about the math but the devs do
@dystopiabreaker@wminshew this is literally one of the interview questions i ask when i hire MLEs / ML scientists so i hope so
eg explain backpropagation algorithm and its implementation
@powerbottomdad1 yeah im not even talking about elon in this case, several ppl were accusing me of simping for pmarca. like bruh if i cant simp for the creator of the WWW who can i simp for
@MasterTimBlais@powerbottomdad1 yeah i certainly feel the dissociation, but i think the upside of adhd personality types is that i'm fairly good in high pressure situations
great way to end science is to never again theorize or synthesize based on limited information and definitely never try to make cross field connections https://x.com/deliprao/status/1490175039899111425
@dcwych@venwithmen you're basically choosing to interpret the original post in the worst possible way by comparing a tech worker to some absolute pauper when in reality nick is telling his peer group it's ok not be a striver and battle your way from $100k/yr to $1m
@dcwych@venwithmen not really, she basically dunked on an employee from a rival firm not under her rule by interpreting his tweet as poorly as possible, she deserves my ire
@dcwych@akbirthko@venwithmen they actually kicked her out of google brain for being too ridiculous and google brain is already known as notoriously woke / AI ethics focused
@RokoMijic lol guys living out of trailers with $0 to their name are knocking up their high school gf and you arent and its got nothing to do with money
an alien species comes to earth and does an anthropological study. they discover the ruins of some advanced ancient civ (codename: atlantis) with their better probing technology. then they exfiltrate all the artifacts of atlantis to show in museums on their homeworld. r u mad?
ok most of you are mentally cucked
I would be raging mad that aliens are stealing the legacy of humanity; given time our own archaeologists armed with better tech would have found it
it’s a violation of & existential threat to our entire storyline - what’s next? We travel to the stars and find them already filled with aliens. Nothing left for us
@jeff82874662@TeddyRaccovelt@mattparlmer if you think having people storm and defile the actual central building of American government means its Mandate of Heaven is untarnished ur coping
tfw you’re pair debugging something, at a loss for ideas
you look up at the screen and your partner notices the movement and gets excited, you must have found something
but you were just checking the time. blackpill
the arguments about neoliberalism and the specific nihilism of the west causing fertility rates to drop seem to fall flat when you consider autocratic mission driven china
the real redpill is that it's an essentially unavoidable consequence of technological modernity and you have to learn how to solve it with even more technology
@RokoMijic@TeddyRaccovelt no one is disputing that money might be a factor for attraction i'm disputing your more specific claim that the poor are going to be without sex when people have clearly posted charts demonstrating the opposite
@RokoMijic@TeddyRaccovelt alpha fux vs beta bucks is very real
the money provider is someone women will settle for when both true love and finding chads fails
@RokoMijic@TeddyRaccovelt what part of this transformation requires money? there are kids getting shredded for free in the community center gyms every day
@LucioMM1@RokoMijic@TeddyRaccovelt yes exactly
the value of money has steeply fallen as we've escaped material scarcity and the value of status has gone way up
@LucioMM1@RokoMijic@TeddyRaccovelt either way im happy to disagree with @RokoMijic on this but he should not arrogantly claim that i'm irrational because i don't agree with him exactly
moreover i am tired of this dating discourse bc there is "no alpha left" and it greatly reduces the public image of rationalism
@RokoMijic@LucioMM1@TeddyRaccovelt now this is a very irrational take. read machiavelli and get back to me. public image is a scarce resource and must be preserved if you're at all a utilitarian
ive watched aphantasiacs rotate shapes correctly on a subconscious level, w.o. really "seeing it". also, folks who have no internal voice still have things to say aloud. seems like both of these things are a lack of a neural net output layer surfacing to top level consciousness
the only blackpill powerful enough to break through gel-mann amnesia is remembering that some prestigious outlet of journalism had an opinion on "wordcels"
@chheplo@growing_daniel kohinoor doesn’t bother me. if you beat the enemy in war you get to take his big shiny gems which are of obvious value to everybody. the archaeological findings like the ancient statues of Lakshmi and Shiva however belong to the adherents of the religion
@peachblvd@brianjoseff i enjoyed your contributions to our ryu murakami book club last week, grace. i agree that post WWII japan has lost its sense of masculine honor,,
@seconds_0 i mean you'd do fine but you're not "cleaning up" like you would elsewhere. i know a few of fratstar gigachads that complain about it. some that dont
i suspect Github Copilot makes bad programmers better and really good programmers slightly worse. by improving the productivity of bad programmers it should actually increase the number of jobs rather than put them out of business b/c the demand for software is p much infinite
@PeteRockefeller@powerbottomdad1 not really dude theres probably gonna be several humanitarian crises, several countries completely evacuated, not small
we're not even close to reversing course so we're thinking in like third derivatives here
it’s amazing trying to explain what you work on to businessppl. you can tell the exact moment you wandered an abstraction layer too deep and they don’t care anymore
@another_reader2 Sorry I was drunk and being rude but high mortgage / rent value / land price is downstream of high demand. It’s also downstream of low supply but yeah
- large language models are already general intelligence
- there are no coherent theories of consciousness so his guess is as good as any
- the line between unconscious and conscious is obviously blurry https://x.com/ilyasut/status/1491554478243258368
@0x49fa98 yeah this is pretty much what i mean by panpsychism not literally that rocks are alive
but there are clearly forms of information processing happening everywhere that aren't limited to neuronal substrate (is cyber gnosticism real? are the egregores alive)
facebook ads were laser guided missiles to scour the entire captive audience of humanity to find users for millions of tiny businesses and apple's IDFA changes have turned them into purely ballistic missiles. only the already rich can afford them now
@dcwych the apple app install market is actually a sizeable chunk of revenue and just sits heavy in the minds of SV people more generally because they love launching apps
also i think i think the loss of device level retargeting extends further than app install stuff
blackpill on america is that our 50 states which are supposed to be 'laboratories of democracy' have extremely similar political systems with only cosmetic differences
@alth0u blackpill on euclidean zoning is that it should be banned and HOAs should be able to construct elaborate zoning schemes for their own neighborhoods
@petergodofsky from briefly googling this doesnt seem true at all. seems that chrome forked webkit and made their own internal version. safari still uses it. firefox uses gecko
spoilt mfers will complain about the dating scene of san francisco or whatever when real technology brothers have moved to an r&d colony on the mexican border 100s of miles from any major city to speedrun factorio in real life
@sgodofsk@eigenrobot its not really about the specifics of the route but rather the fact that the demand for this thing would be enormous and yet nobody has supplied it. should be a blackpill bigger than the rootless bug people
@sgodofsk@eigenrobot between these two points there are many who could and would afford it imo. after all many get netjets or chartered flights for 10-20x more
@AnikVJoshi@sgodofsk@eigenrobot lol im just being difficult but the 10-20x clearly covers the amortized cost of development. i think fuel probably scales quadratically with max speed and i dont think its even the majority cost of a single flight run
@AnikVJoshi@sgodofsk@eigenrobot not to mention there are obviously several other such high value, very wealthy long flight corridors like LA-NY, NY-LON, NY-PAR, etc
@sgodofsk@AnikVJoshi@eigenrobot alright yeah i think my intuition was fundamentally wrong on this. i had been convinced it was mostly a regulatory / scheduling issue trying to maximize airline utilization at various hubs. sorry bout that
@sgodofsk@Mimi_Peacock@AnikVJoshi@eigenrobot yeah doesn't matter that's completely in line with what i tweeted though
airline industry pace of engineering progress is glacial and a sign of our decadence. if talented people actually got to this i'm confident they could do it especially building off of concorde r&d
@eigenrobot@sgodofsk@Mimi_Peacock@AnikVJoshi boeing pretty much transparently optimizes for building each part in a different state to subsidymaxx and corruptionmaxx instead of any sort of innovation. unfortunately the FAA is too onerous for tech upstarts to really break through i think
@sgodofsk@petergodofsky@eigenrobot@Mimi_Peacock@AnikVJoshi thinking the transport cost is the bottleneck here is the other sign of decadence
it's not for no reason that spacex achieved massive success by vertically integrating in one area (rate of innovation)
@AlexGodofsky@eigenrobot@sgodofsk@petergodofsky@Mimi_Peacock@AnikVJoshi no i haven't ruled out that it's impossible because i don't understand the basic physics that well in this case. but i've heard people i respect say it can be done (especially elon & others being bullish on supersonic EVTOL) so i'd rather be optimistic at the moment
@AlexGodofsky@eigenrobot@sgodofsk@petergodofsky@Mimi_Peacock@AnikVJoshi i also think in a completely non physics way you're underestimating the market for 10x more expensive airline tickets (and yes it has changed quite a bit since the concorde both as people have gotten richer and air travel has gotten cheaper)
many have told me that that wordcel vs rotator meme is completely out of alpha. that it's become boring and normie. that i should try not to be a one hit wonder. well they were absolutely right but @monodevice and I launched a merch line anyway. here it is
https://rotator.store
@monodevice we are about to get a cease and desist from a very litigious fruit company in about 5 hours but enjoy it while it lasts. msg if you have any design ideas! we can work something out
@fnedrik@DeadElfTweeting it can in fact sort lists but not of arbitrary lengths
there are other NNs that do have the recursive reasoning where they keep going until the program wants to terminate
@fnedrik@DeadElfTweeting disagree
it has a practical recursion window and might therefore have some limited consciousness. i dont think having true recursion is some necessary element of consciousness
successful sim2real transfer of magnetic control policy
on its face this experiment sounds dumb as hell bc you can run a new tokamak configuration maybe a couple times a day (tiny data volume) but seems to have worked wonders with shape rotation AI trained in simulo https://x.com/pfau/status/1494001370134896650
but honestly i think this speaks more to the quality of these simulators than anything else. i do hope that it increases the rate and simplicity of new shape config experiments because i'm making a similar bet in my own field
