@verybadwizards I now want a t-shirt with the text "Don't come to me for theological advice". So perfect

Fonts hanging out

@SerenLaurelKell @80000Hours super lovely and interesting interview! And your voice is to die for 🤩🤩

If you're interested in the major scientific priorities for developing tastier, cheaper, scalable, and generally better alternative proteins, check out my interview with @80000Hours below! 👇

@ZachWeiner Scandalous! It doesn't say "DON'T PANIC" on the cover! How will this ever be of any use?!?

Have you seen this floating around the Internet? It's from a book of mine. And, we just dropped a sequel: kickstarter.com/projects/weine… (please spread the word!)

20.59, highrat - which sounds very correct as a previous rat owner that's taking adhd meds.

@mitsuhiko the link is the same as in the second message, not sure if intended

And the story comes to a close: on Wednesday the country moves back to DST. Which of course means, that the timezone database gets another release: 2023c. mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2…

Today in timezone madness: Lebanon had a last minute announcement of DST postponement. The Olson database complied. Now there is a dispute if it happens, and *parts* of the government reversed it. The country now has two timezones concurrently depending on who you ask.

By popular request, here’s another video after mine ended. The spoiler is that the fish doesn’t win 🫠 The octopus went back into hiding after this video ends

This was one of the most incredible wildlife encounters I’ve ever had — seen while tidepooling on the Northern California coast. (Also please enjoy the look of sheer terror on my friend 😅)

@verybadwizards this feels like a perfect intro segment link.springer.com/article/10.100…

True as ever

@EzraJNewman It's bound to be under my left thumb, right one is backspace. (and both also have ctrl,shift&alt). shop.keyboard.io/pages/model100

Do you press the space bar mostly with one thumb, or with both thumbs?

hmm, maybe I *shouldn't* learn to understand danish if/when moving to Copenhagen - not being able to comprehend the occasional podcast ad is pretty great (or just use a VPN I guess)

A lot of the more immediate term AI alignment work, like making models more honest/truthful, also makes models more useful. It therefore consititues a kind of capabilities work. Does this mean it's bad to work on things like honesty/truthfulness? A few thoughts🧵

I like ... vegan frozen pizza and I cannot lie 😍 Estimated (by weight) 145 boxes, with best before dates spanning 435 days, which comes out to one every 3 days. Soo handy when I have no time/energy to cook

@etirabys WCS can look so crazy good

just watched an impressive partner dance video. humans make this look awfully good considering how unsuited their bodies are to interesting motion, huh I used to be exposed to random kpop videos on the subway and turn away in contempt. "stop. you're the wrong species for this"

My 3rd party twitter client (Twidere) broke (and I didn't bother fixing or install another one) so I haven't done ~any twitter. Result: boring, I like checking twitter.

Great post: lesswrong.com/posts/9kQFure4…

@AmandaAskell oh that reminds me, I should filter "Bostrom" as a keyword for a while.

The vibe of Twitter is always anger. I'm not sure I'm into it.

@Aella_Girl food *sucks*. I've mostly stopped eating the first half of all days (partly due to my adhd meds, Lisdexamfetamin, which suppresses hunger) because I noticed that eating any non-minimal amount just kills all momentum.

huh i went to bed kinda hungry last night, on a whim decided to continue my mini fast throughout today, and then i just went and completed a bunch of annoying tasks i'd been avoiding for a long time is food causing my executive dysfunction? should i just quit food?
