we will see in the coming days. iran and their sub-groups (terrorist orgs) will increasingly attack american and allied nations in the middle east in the next 48 hours.
we don’t have enough bombs for this to go more than 3-6 weeks. it will take us 5+ years to restock what we’ve used already.
fallout is what’s most concerning.

@ESYudkowsky Property can go beyond real estate.
They fail to recognize that their rights to speech, autonomy, association etc are the same kind of right as a property right: exist because we all agree. They have skin in the game but just take it for granted
English
Dath ilan's perspective on private property (as presented in Project Lawful) as a form of game-theoretic coordination, included the explicit warning that if society tells someone they have no property, they have no stake in trying to coordinate with that.

Wild. This leaked email from Peter Thiel really doesn’t jive with my understanding of his politics that was mostly incepted into my brain by the media.

@InezFeltscher Would you bet that if the two were tasked with attracting female attention, the first would do better?
English
Because women aren’t men and the former guy is already fit and is bigger and more imposing vis a vis women. This isn’t a lie. This is men projecting their visual aesthetic on women.
taoki@justalexoki
why are women lying about this? like what's the actual cause?

@DystopiaPro69 You ship less deadweight?
Also boneless is a different part of the bird, not the actually wing

Can an economist explain why boneless is cheaper...?

@viditnanda Do you think you would do better than o4 in the 2025 IMO?

Easy to dunk on this unfortunate take (and many of you have!), but the part that should stick out here is that people earnestly believe AI solving olympiad problems amounts to AI solving mathematics.
We have done a terrible job of communicating what it is we actually do.

Yes, our best and brightest should be serving the public interest through the means for which they are best-suited: by shaving off a few nanoseconds of latency for HFT firms.

In the long-run, even cuts to STEM funding are very good. Top STEM researchers belong in industry, not academia.

they don't want you to know this, but "woke" has a definition that's both useful and captures most of common usage: it's "illiberal progressivism".
so "anti-woke" was a strange coalition: some were opposed to the illiberalism, while the rest were opposed to the progressivism

Many of the eligible nerds want to date her and are not asking her out for fear of retaliation.
A good piece advice from Bryan caplan: signal to the boys that if one of them were to respectfully show interest in you, you would hold that against them or take it to HR, just reject or accept.
Boys are afraid of being creeps bc it doesn’t feel good, and afraid of reprimands.
Also I believe dating apps would be useful with the location based matching. I always used to match with ppl of similar education level too
If they follow her on insta, many ways to make that indicative of being single and looking.
Also , throw a mixer/party themed with one of her interest and invite coworkers? Norms for hitting on ppl are more chill in those events

A female friend works at DeepMind in London. She's looking to get married and figures her work is full of eligible guys. How does she find the single DeepMinders without getting HR'd?
What's the secret romantic availability signal? Dress nicely? Laptop stickers? Buy an iPhone?

@ITARviolation You’re too good at running lmao.
Shit takes me 30 minutes to complete, burns like 450

the fact that a 5k only burns like 300 calories is a fundamentally unfair truth of being human

@robinhanson Where can I read your best defense of this claim? (Sorry , we live in the world where for some reason search engines stopped working)
My main disagreement is that it’s maladaptive? Seems historically false
English
@LimaPrieto Activist driven change is dynamic but maladaptive. That’s why it isn’t substitute for cultural evolution
English
You probably treasure some norms that you want widely enforced. E.g., honesty, no-war-first-strike, democracy, or gender equality. But cultural evolution might need some variety in such things. What % of the world do you want where they DON'T enforce your treasured norms?
English
So expert-activists are an effective infra-culture mechanism for improvement, making it less necessary for different cultures to compete against each other, no?
We don’t need other hominids, and neither do we need non-western cultures?
I buy the argument for diversity as insurance since even a great culture can derail and get locked in a bad place, but not as a source of dynamism
English
@LimaPrieto Elite activists fighting over culture is central to how each culture evolves, it’s not an outside force
English
Genuine question, sorry if this sounds like a troll
In the whatever podcast tou mentioned ugly crying when your partner said your face wasn’t that pretty. This really broke my parasocial expectations of your personality, someone who I saw as someone who “doesn’t suffer, radical self acceptance etc”.
I’m failing to square the two, am I just being a midwit? If so what’s the enlightened view of this?
English
'believe victims' except when the victim claims something counter to narrative.
I spent a year doing ~200hrs of meditation on lsd, discovered and successfully processed serious trauma, gained radical self acceptance, stopped suffering, etc
Know what else i learned?

One of the funnier sentences I've heard recently was someone saying "I think it's okay if humanity goes extinct because of climate change. We're messing up the planet" but then adding "...but of course that would be really bad for all the low income communities"

@RichardHanania Income tax is also optional, since the government can't force you to get a job.
