@fleetwood___ need ascii only technical diagrams moving forward

@AlpinDale idk @CJHandmer does good posting via grok

My experience on the app has substantially improved

songs to think to:

@zachkrall so sharp

had an idea for previewing attachments

@realityspammer def proprietary

Are you Proprietary? Or just Perfunctory?

@torchcompiled absurdly sparse fails on quantizing for me but could be implementation error

At 16MB i feel like a winner would be absurdly sparse, thinking Fastfood Layers, pushing recurrence to the max, random projections which can be retrieved by storing seed, butterfly matrices, and exploiting ops like FFT. Feels like anything else would be a marginal gain.

@hoverdesign hyper constrained ML! final model can't be bigger than 16mb and training time is capped at 10min

@cmcdnd @willdepue Super curious to know what you’re learning.

@robinhanson @bryan_caplan BIG

@bryan_caplan Expand your concept of self to include big things.

Don't believe in anything "bigger than yourself." Instead, become big enough for you to believe in yourself.

@bankof_amERICA Ahhh my beloved

Miami is cracked bc wdym this is my mid day walk view

@viemccoy It's almost like we don't even have capital S Science without the faith & magic. Autism is not a fair replacement, we really need Pascals again.

Please consider reading my newest article, Semiotic Triage: Overcoming the Type Error Tragedy. In it, I discuss how we might suspend our disbelief long enough to use faith as a generating function for enchantment, going beyond our present epistemic limitations.

@iamjasonlevin @CatOrman1 @bankof_amERICA Can confirm, epic operating

@CatOrman1 Imagine a 200 person 3 day weekend destination wedding @bankof_amERICA

when you throw a dinner party with someone you find out whether or not they’re an operator

@eigenrobot True

everything 👏 is 👏 monocausal 👏 and 👏 specifically 👏 results 👏 from 👏 whatever 👏 shit 👏 I'm 👏 on 👏 about 👏 at 👏 any 👏 given 👏 time

@signulll They're annoying but zoom calls and panels are what we have left of French/English ritualized social theater. Cling on, we don't want them entirely gone.

no offense but never has there been a moment in my life where i’ve wanted to hear a bunch of “panelists” speak at a conference lmao. like i get actively repulsed by that entire concept.

@NateAFischer Elite Overproduction Hypernova Event

So much AI hysteria is driven by the class envy and aspiration of public intellectuals: Basically if it’s an existential threat like the nuclear bomb, it must be controlled by priests/intellectuals and their client managerial class. But if it’s just a very powerful tool, it will simply increase the power of crass capitalists.

@doodlestein @IterIntellectus Inulin?? How is your system handling that without massive bloat

@IterIntellectus I just mix this into milk with my creatine and some vanilla syrup. Very painless and easy.

if you read enough fiber research you either start thinking you’re going insane or realize the entire nutrition industry has a financial incentive to keep you buying protein powder instead. you need to eat your fiber and i’m not even trying to be nice about it. 95% of Americans are *deficient* while enough fiber alone reduces all-cause mortality by 30%, colorectal cancer by 26%, and your gut bacteria literally digest your own intestinal lining when you starve them of it. fiber should be a bigger supplement category than protein but since it actually makes you healthier there’s no interest in selling it

@sterling_west24 Entouraged

What does the e in e-girl stand for?

@owroot not a completely fair comparison because it's regular vs. semilight (I don't have regular Times Now) But look at the refreshed Times- so beautiful

I love having all my email in Times New Roman. On the occasion that it flips into something else due to copy and paste, I am aghast. Typing emails in Times New Roman I basically feel like this image

@VirtualElena Children of Men
