𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 5I always wonder how much foreigners, especially ones in highly autocratic & censored countries like China/Russia, are misled by media coverage of DC/SF to massively underestimate US wealth & capability because they don't understand it is driven by internal politics + openness.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 14This point makes little sense to me. I should stop worrying about asteroids, AGI, global pandemic, or a few decisionmakers blowing up (the world, not a financial firm) because... I didn't see an Excel spreadsheet backdoor? If it's not apples/oranges, shouldn't that be opposite?

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 25(Look, I'm not saying terminology merits all the bikeshedding it inevitably receives; just that your life is now quantifiably better because I went with "the scaling hypothesis" instead of the alternatives like "the big blob of compute" or "one chonky is all you need".)

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 9Is there really anyone? I would have assumed that @ftxfuturefund had been only promising grants for money they had in the bank from SBF, and that even SBF going to zero would simply mean that they'd spend down their existing endowment (whatever that is) and wind down.
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 10I don't know who needs to hear this, but if your beloved has 'breath like wine' and 'eyes like the sun', you should probably not kiss her lips but rush her to the emergency room, as her chronic alcoholism has led to end-stage liver disease.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 2They're just adult kids trying to enforce kid candy norms against the parental cartel exacting horrendous levels of confiscatory candy taxation. Increase the consumer surplus!

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 1(Is that actually true? I feel like every time someone posts a chihuahua/muffin-type image, it always turns out to only fool a 2014 model or not even real in the first place.)
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 8Meh: 66 times fewer self-selected people rather than population registry, a weaker IQ test (a quick survey Raven's rather than full-scale draft IQ test), and trading records in a single bull market (everything↑) rather than across a bubble where choices matter most (↑↓↑).

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 6Wonder if it's real? China has a huge problem with fake antiques, and 'private collection' doesn't foster confidence.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 15I'll give the same reason I gave the last dozen people to suggest this: because those very intelligent dog breeds are *also* the ones which are most destructive and neurotic when living in typical urban/suburban conditions. If anything, we should be breeding (even) dumber ones.
𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 9This is the most elaborate way to get a 'like' from me I've ever seen.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernOct 31Temperance movement lost culture wars. Half the non-alcoholic drinks you know were invented by Scottish eccentric Zekariah Speakfaith Lordprotectsthefaithful in 1801 to replace whiskey on the wagon.

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫@gwernNov 11This is fake, you know, I don't see it anywhere in @Chiquita's tweets.
But given the scholarly rigor applied to, say, Tay and Cambridge Analytica, I look forward to seeing this and other screenshots for the rest of my life as conventional wisdom in papers about Musk/Twitter...
