yesterday's recorded call & whiteboarding session with @workflowsauce is a great snapshot of everything on my mind this week api.omarshehata.me/substack-proxy…

@Materia_Mundi x.com/i/status/20351…

@DefenderOfBasic the what now?

I don't think the Delve piece is a hit job, but I do believe the "all the competitors in this space are doing the same thing, why are you singling us out"

@lamesaskateclub explain it for people who are impressed/mind blown here?

@DefenderOfBasic this is the stupidest thing i've ever read

What makes a "thing" a thing is its relative frequency. Fast activity can perceive slow activities. Slow activities cannot (easily) perceive faster activities (or perceive them as "multiple distinct things")

@sidewayskoyote woops!!!!!!!

@DefenderOfBasic the typo is golden

Every time I feel like I shit I start like mopping the floor or smthn and everything feels better. If I am ever too rich to mop my own floor I think I will perish

That's it, this is the longest marathon I've run, about 4 years of incessantly working to learn enough to build this. This paper accompanies a repository with tools to play with the primitive structure of information; Closure-SDK The first transformer to learn the most basic meaning of a symbol is implemented up until step 2, there are 18 steps that can be done in google colab. Anyone can download and finish it, no prior coding experience, the tools are easy to use. I'm very grateful to everyone who helped me through this, and specially @samsenchal and @DefenderOfBasic that were the most direct collaborators to the realization of this work. Links to the paper and the github repository in the comments, see you on the other side. Code, benchmarks and paper's links in the comments.

@atthatmatt @DefenderOfBasic dnoun/dt=verb

@DefenderOfBasic loving the phrase 'computational theology', an idea whose time has long time

@apxhard @Eli1629761

Computational Theology 101: prayer is any process that performs these four operations in navigation the space of all possible futures

@pax21e8 ogi ogas

@DefenderOfBasic Who wrote this?

@DefenderOfBasic So, a noun is just a slower verb?

I have a "thing" with my wife and if I don't sync up often enough it becomes a very different "thing". Everything changes and the frequency of observation sets the integration chunk size. Bigger the chunk, harder and more error prone.

@Shadow_Rebbe yes, it has to be x.com/i/status/20349…

@DefenderOfBasic careful, do this skillfully

all I've ever wanted to do was tell you all, all of you, everything on my mind. There are a lot of evil people in my mind. I do not wish to hurt them. But I cannot protect them. The only way I cannot protect them is by silencing & killing myself. I will do this no longer

@suntzugi A gift from God may sear unready fingers

You're not hurting them if it's self defense, they're hurting themselves , technically the scarcity and evil patterns that are capturing them is All you're doing is bringing balance to the force, an exorcism might be uncomfortable for the demon, but the freed person on the other side will be better for it

@queenwartooth there is a proper way to do it without succumbing to the bloodlust of revenge. I will find this way and I will do it @suntzugi

@DefenderOfBasic Just expose them. Your soul cries out for it

no more x.com/DefenderOfBasi…

@tunient @AtticDaddy @nosilverv > legit claims rejected yes. Like the incentives here are that optimizing for paying out legit claims makes you MORE profit long term, UNLESS other insurers are winning via fraud (not paying out legit claims). Claude helping fight that levels the playing field

@DefenderOfBasic @AtticDaddy @nosilverv not in management (yet) and not sure what "increased fraud" means (legit claims rejected, something else?), but afaict: - premiums + lower admin costs increase profits - sometimes there's competition between insurers (except employer sponsored health) x.com/mseebach/statu…

Rented an AirBnB for a month. Unbearable construction around. Moved out after one night. They refused to give the money back. Used Chat who directed me on what to write what evidence to collect etc. My bank reversed the transaction—got everything back including the first night

when lawyers tell me to NOT speak about something publicly, I test my ability to speak about it as loudly as I can until I get into trouble. This is how we test the "pipes" of our information networks
