most trajectories are not orbits
most functions are not differentiable
most programs do nothing

the universe is a desolate wilderness. we just live in the interesting/useful/meaningful parts of it.

@ptr Is your Instinct calibrated for the Anthropic IPO date?

One day you’ll say to your grandkids, you know that old saying about ants in the kitchen? Actually it’s not that old, I was on Twitter when it was posted.

And they’ll say, what’s Twitter? and actually that is old because you are old! Let’s get you back to bed.

If you find two ants in your kitchen, the best estimate of the total number of ants in your kitchen is not two

@DanielleMorrill you mean AI to build VR, or you mean VR for better AI interfaces?

[Noah Tye @noahlt]

@politicalmath n fact this gap is the difficulty with gaming and AI: consumers perceive AI primarily as a way for game studios to cut asset costs and fire artists, while game programmers want to use AI to ship faster.

[Noah Tye @noahlt]

@jcfosterx yes I think these are the correct decisions for your first version, and I look forward to future versions!

@vincentchu I've been doing this too and I have to say, this keyboard is finally getting its full use: https://t.co/Os2llh6T69

[Noah Tye @noahlt]

updated my custom keyboard layout, Noah Dvorak v3, which a bunch more ⌥ Option shortcuts:
— home row produces braces {([])}
— greek letters αβπλ
— math operators ∫∂∆∇×∑
— sets ℝℕℤ, ∀∃
— shortcut symbols ⌥⌘⇧

The most complete list of LLM writing tics I've seen.

[Noah Tye @noahlt]

@m_adams All of the framers. (The exception is famous because he was an exception.)

@rwhitcomb Yeah I’m sure it’s a great business, along with their wine sales

[Noah Tye @noahlt]

It’s been almost a decade since the acquisition. Can Amazon start reducing the shelf space that Whole Foods dedicates to supplements?

@generativist I have a very comprehensive naming scheme for my notebooks. They each have a unique ID number, which is denoted in their file name by the prefix “untitled_”

@miradu Lots of things last a long time if you never use them

[Noah Tye @noahlt]

@sfautist Yeah after thinking about it more I think it’s something like that

[Noah Tye @noahlt]

Both Jensen & Dario claim to not know their address, which I guess means they exclusively delegate these tasks:

- fill out paperwork w/ addr
- buy things (enter billing/delivery addr)
- tell visiting friends where they live

Perhaps a good test of personal assistant agents.

@LaArqueologa @WB_Baskerville I don’t know where you live but it’s pretty common in California, and The Economist claims it is a widespread trend: https://t.co/VYX1yFV3Bw

@tweetsbenedict @triketora Same except my zoomer coworker then refused to clarify whether tough was good or bad

[Noah Tye @noahlt]

@TelseeJanelle @WB_Baskerville Do not misunderstand me, I believe it is evil to hold a strong preference either way!

[Noah Tye @noahlt]

@iwsfutcmd Wish I had vocabulary for “I have values disagreements with this person but they are a worthy opponent, they do it right”.

As opposed to “this person isn’t even good at being the opponent they claim to be, please be better so our opposition is worthwhile”
