Technical debt previously used to coordinate military and civic action has no place in internal searches for happiness and meaning.

Using any element with > 20 electrons for building means you don't really know how the thing works.

You can't craft the item you want so you use mob drops and add enchantments.

Like... selenoproteins or wires, they symbolize skill issues.

The government through their puppets at the NIH, FDA and CDC don't want you to know this.

You don't need to "eat certain foods" to protect your teeth and gums, horseshit propagated by the agricultural lobby.

There's one-magic-trick: Fluoride.

Get it while it's legal to import.

Most humans can't figure out their needs, just their constraints.

Needs are essentially self-constraint-setting, this is hard to impossible for most people to do.

Conversely, handing someone a "nice" set of constraints is easy, they will thank you for it.

I am done with the liberal costal elites and their academic mouthpieces implementing socialist regulations around fluoride.

It is impossible to find a toothpaste with adequate fluoride concentration due to laws tailored for at-risk children that could swallow a toxic dose.

Just landed in London, if you:
a) loosely know me in the online world
b) live here
c) want to hang out

Ping me (email preferred)

Turns out open internet, free speech and access to information is an engine for democracy.

But asymmetrically armed loyalist military with disdain for the population and obedience to the leader kinda trumps that (heh)

The dystopian memes are peak though.

Imagined AI Safety timeline (cca 2015)
- 2022 Machine Learning is lit, everyone is using it
- 2026 Traditional machine learning gives way to "less constrained" types of AI with hard-to-interpret training objectives
- 2030 Rogue AI arises covertly starts accumulating wealth

Applying conscientiousness & effort to most competitive endeavors is a huge mistake, encouraging kids to do this is tantamount to abuse.

The ideal cuttlery set would be:
- Chopsticks (wood)
- Straw (paper)
- Chef's knife
- Ornate teaspoon (3.2-3.8ml volume, > 23.5cm handle length)

There's something like "religious metaphysics" that people create when a phenomenon seems 2/3:
a. Scary
b. Important
c. Strange

What are good examples of religious metaphysics ?

There are presently 0 threads in scientific research that stand a chance at extending human (or even animal) lifespan.

I invite *anyone* to a 20-year timeline bet that we will see 0 humans make it to 130 within the next 20 years.

(escrow in staked ETH ok but only to a point)

It's the year 4000 and a species of delighted and joyous humans have colonized the stars.

They flutter between worlds, their laughter echoing across the cosmos, their joy boundless and pure.

Now, one might say, what's the purpose of keeping all of these humans around?

Essentially all views I held at age 21 are, in hindsight, comically wrong.

But there's one belief that was both true and pivotal to how I built my understanding of the world:

A not-nice belief vis-à-vis Semi-supervised machine learning (😮‍💨 fine, "AI"):

Most humans are untrained in aesthetics and reason.

Humans prefer GPT-3.5 generated poetry to real poets: www.nature.com/articles/s4...

Humans look at generate code and think it's good or scalable.
AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-written poetry and is rated more favorably

This is death-rate as a function of age throughout recorded medical history.

Notice anything about it ?

I'll be making London my base for 3 months starting April 1st, looking for a cool group-house/flat-share to live in 🏡

Also meeting new & weird people is always appreciated 😊

If you've got a lead on either of those — DM me 🙏

Economic participation, democracy and independence are the core US memes.

Politically, only a tiny % have relevant votes — and in order to vote you need to...

Unit testing is one of the most damaging practices in software development.

It's a crutch for faulty thinking and lack of understanding.

Why are there no standardized testing practices in the world's most complex piece of software?

Any burn stories about "giant dome with climby things and mattress floor (shoes off + feet cleaning at entrance)" camp?

Thinking of setting one up at kiwiburn this year, concept seems obvious enough that somebody ought to have tried it before?
