I taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens. normal claude: ~180 tokens for a web search task caveman claude: ~45 tokens for the same task "I executed the web search tool" = 8 tokens caveman version: "Tool work" = 2 tokens every single grunt swap saves 6-10 tokens. across a FULL task that's 50-100 tokens saved why does it work? caveman claude doesn't explain itself. it does its task first. gives the result. then stops. no "I'd be happy to help you with that." no "Let me search the web for you" no more unnecessary filler words "result. done. me stop." 50-75% burn reduction with usage limits getting tighter every week this might be the most practical hack out there right now

A key tip: pick friends/places based on genuine affinity, and then help them rise up
Will Manidis@WillManidis
the greatest regret i have is underestimating the value of long term compounding. friendships, people, places, all get better with decades. beautiful things dont even start to reveal themselves for years. it is entirely what life is about. a few good things for a long time.

@AaronBergman18 Just wanted to say as an expert that having extremely specific preferences actually does work out and you should follow this thread to maximizing chances of finding these people.

All evidence suggests that my future wife will be an Indian or Jewish bisexual woman currently 19-28, height 5'0"-5'2", with high functioning autism, an IQ of >=130, and living in the US
Claude says that's 10 people, Gemini says 25
I could totally meet all of them

I recommend asking Claude the concepts in these 4 writings, it helped me a lot.

One of my heuristics is "no yearning". If I catch myself yearning for something, I have to take some action towards it.

Have you asked yourself "what if this isn't hype?"

A robotics startup in Shenzhen called Mind On has upgraded the Unitree G1 humanoid with an advanced robot brain. With this upgrade, the robot can perform everyday tasks on its own without human control. It was shown watering plants, opening curtains, cleaning, and moving items independently.

@jakozloski There must be some people for whom starting later is better. I imagine some tragic marriage outcomes are avoidable. Do you ever screen for people who just aren't fit for marriage due to immaturity?
English
We haven't been around long enough to observe this in our own data yet (and frankly I haven't dug into this) but the literature says youth, low self-knowledge, and high openness as predictors of more ranking volatility. Personality stabilizes a lot by ~25.
We never tell someone to wait if they think they're ready. Starting matters more than optimizing, as long as the underlying alignment is strong.
English
Everyone has more than one 'soulmate'. Obviously true. But there's also a single most ideal match for every person on earth. Ties aren't really a thing.
English
@jakozloski Have you noticed any traits in people who are significantly more or less likely to have major compatibility ranking updates over time?
If someone likely to have major updates comes to you and wants to marry, what do you think is the best way to handle that scenario?
English
@mathyouf What matters is the integral across your life. Good relationships compound, so a small edge in initial compatibility becomes a larger area over time. A shift in relative rankings matters less than beginning that compounding as soon as you're ready.

@47fucb4r8c69323 @DefenderOfBasic How dare you correct me, and with a lie no less.

@mathyouf @DefenderOfBasic I am not responsible for what my counterparty does.
English
If you're going to be unkind you have to rely on the counter party recognizing the truth value in what you're saying.
Some people don't really believe that any truths are locked behind unkindness.

@toro_minato All noise is information if you are smart enough to comprehend the processes that generate it.

ちなみにIQが高い人ほど他人に興味が無くて、IQが低い人ほど他人に興味深々。
ゴシップや人の噂好きな人は全員IQ低い(らしい)
理由は頭が良い人にとって他人の情報なんて、無駄でしかないし非合理的すぎるから。

IQが高すぎる人の発信は、100人に1人の「超有識者」には深く刺さるが、残りの99人には届かない。 統計学的に、IQが15以上離れると意思疎通が急激に困難になるらしい。 IQが高すぎると、無意識に言葉が抽象化され、大衆には「難解な呪文」に聞こえてしまう。 高IQだからSNSが上手いわけではない

High iq people are natural anthropologists
If you're smart enough you start to realize there is no such thing as noise, only ever information
