𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 11Further cleanup: simplify the annotation dogtag black triangle to thinner left-bracket; since WP links are 2/3rds of all links, handle them specially - use dotted underline, & delete annotation+'W' link icon.
Our primary worry: is this confusing to not have WP links 'annotated'? pic.twitter.com/5a9iOCG0ij

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 25Note that you're 𝘯𝘰𝘵 seeing a user scrolling through a PDF here, because it's page-linked (twitter.com/gwern/status/1…) & jumps to Fig 6. It Just Works™.
Imagine reading through refs instantly—no dead links, no paywalls, no searching; no null refs below us, above us only sky...
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 29We also have some fun special-cases because of the walled-garden. How about links to source code files... (uh huh) which pop up... (ohhh) as syntax-highlighted version (WAHHHH)? pic.twitter.com/jEiWZBNxAo
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 25An interesting side-effect of our efficient reimplementation to make fully-recursive popups feasible is that we can create 'link bibliographies': bibliographies of all links in a page, along with their annotations/abstracts/etc which one can read through: gwern.net/newsletter/202…
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 30If anyone was wondering, it hasn't been a priority compared to getting 512px runs working so it was mostly paused, but here's 241.3k EMA from the 96ch 256px topcrop all-dataset run.
@arfafax was skeptical it *could* learn ponies as well as anime but IMO 4x2 is quite credible. pic.twitter.com/lMCoCAvFad

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 7On definitional equivalence & the 'just word fallacy':
when someone tells you "X is 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 Y", that tells you more about Y than X.
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 32. How's it been going since then?
Show the net index adjusted-return since publication. The net is a high-variance but unbiased estimator of every news article, and useful to know as foreshadowing: [old article] "VISA welcomes its exciting new CEO John Johnson (V: -30%)."
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 21Today in "they might never tell you it's broken": apparently ~80% of my videos just... didn't work on iOS/Mac devices, and never have, because their AVC level is just a tad too recent for Apple's antiquated software.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 19To my dismay, it looks like bracket-less WP links may have to be sacrificed on the altar of UI consistency for the sake of mobile users as pop-in for mobile gets implemented.
On the plus side, I've wanted this for years, and I expect mobile-only users will be shocked... pic.twitter.com/Hbw2FLnfcD

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 30One of the original 4chan trolls who made /mlp/ just read gwern.net/MLP and told me it made him feel like he was 16 again and that a bunch of pieces suddenly clicked, like why MLP ~ D&D / New Sincerity. Pleased I got it right.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 31. EMH: How did markets react?
Tickercrufts are a halfassed implicit 'event study'. "Goodrx fell -25% when Amazon announced online pharmacy. Wow that's serious!"
So each use must be time-bracketed: what exact time did the news break & how did the stock move in the next ~hour?

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernDec 21We also discovered today that gwern.net/Faces transfers ~500MB *per page load* because browsers defy the very clearly written standard about what 'preload="metadata"' means. (Hint for companies starting in 'G' and 'A': IT DOES NOT MEAN 'PLS DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE VIDEO'.)
