@JenLRossman This ... kinda makes me want to re-watch

The X-Files is so much more interesting than I remember
It's not just "he's a believer, she's a skeptic"
He's a believer who struggles with skepticism, she's a skeptic who struggles with belief🧵

Correct! The information asymmetry drives the whole thing. I think that's part of what makes it challenging for people (myself included) -- we're conditioned to see problems involving probabilities as involving *random* selections because that's how probability classes are taught

I've apparently gaslit myself about the monty hall problem since learning about it 10 years ago! The entire thing hinges on the fact that he knows which door has [desired object] and he will never open that door! That's the only reason it's probabilistically best to switch

Discovering Elaida piece by piece was fascinating. Slipping into her lavish costumes was exhilarating, and wearing her shoes felt surprisingly comforting...
Who's ready for March 13? 😉

@steren I for one have never worked in an ecosystem with good tooling?

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases.
I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known.
People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at octant.bio.

Alternatively, maybe cap the line of credit available to people? I agree with the impulse to make it harder for people to get into trouble, but capping the interest rate seems like a crude solution
Josh Hawley@HawleyMO
Credit card interest rates are out of control. Rates have DOUBLED in recent years. In 2022 alone, credit cards charged Americans $105 billion in interest. Today @BernieSanders and I are teaming up to introduce a 10% cap on interest rates - just like @realDonaldTrump proposed

I am dogsitting, and I think having a dog around makes me live more in the physical world by a large increment
Dog owners confirm? Is this real vs your pre-dog mind?

@AbstractFairy Makes me feel good about people

@AbstractFairy I did this. I had a sort of epiphany in college about how it's easy to be hard on others and forgiving to yourself because of the information asymmetry, and just worked on that intuition. Assuming actively that most people are doing their imperfect best, just like me
English
how do you do this?
Nick@nickcammarata
it’s in your best interest to learn how to like people more

@larsiusprime Intelligence is not actually the rate-limiting reagent.

Stupid exercise: Assume AGI and even ASI is imminent. Now, imagine it winds up not changing the world nearly as much as anyone thought, and the reason seems very stupid, but in retrospect, makes sense.
What is the reason?

At some point in the last ten years (it’s hard to tease out exactly when) we crossed a boundary that no one celebrated:
Most people diagnosed with cancer in the United States of America this year will not be killed by that cancer.
Yes, outcomes have improved.
Alex Earl, DC@Alex_Zander_11
@esjesjesj Have cancer outcomes improved since all this money was allocated to cancer research?

@jonnym1ller Not at all. My strong prior is that this is mostly bullshit and hype.

sincere question: how (if at all) are you considering adjusting your life trajectory based on this?
AI Notkilleveryoneism Memes ⏸️@AISafetyMemes
Anthropic CEO: "What I’ve seen inside Anthropic over the last few months led me to believe that AI will surpass almost all humans at almost all tasks in 2-3 years." "I am more confident than I have ever been at any previous time." "There have been 5 or 6 times in 10 years we thought we were hitting a wall, and something slightly different was invented that let us get around it. The scaling of AI feels like a river - every once in a while it runs into a stone but it always finds a way to go around." "Throughout the 10 years I've been working in this field I've always said 'I don't know for sure, this seems like the direction it's heading in, we could be getting to human-level systems...' I still think there's uncertainty, but over the last 6 months that uncertainty for me has decreased a great deal."

@littleapostate Try to resist the pressure! It's a crazy, outdated expectation.

It’s actually absurd to me that dropping 20k on a wedding is considered cheap. Like am I insane or is spending that much on one day insane
Like a wedding photographer is 6k?? That’s considered normal? What the fuck
