Building a happy life from first principles.

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DellAnnaLuca Reminds me a bit of how societies decided to measure success in life by money - easy to measure, objective, universally available.

Instead of vastly more important (but almost impossible to measure) metrics like 'happiness', being a 'good person', etc, etc.

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DellAnnaLuca 1. The proverbial "clutch gene". Some players tend to perform better under pressure, which is often the case late in the game.

2. A small caveat - nowadays no players aim to play close to the full 48min (most are in the 25-35 range), so no pressure to max. minutes per se.

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@dvassallo The 'confusion' comes from the fact that most people wrongly expect rich/famous people to also embody various virtues like thoughtfulness and empathy.

When reality shows different people are shocked.

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DellAnnaLuca I guess the tricky question here is - how do we define "job security"?

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DellAnnaLuca Feels a bit like an accounting firm prohibiting its employees from using a calculator back in the day.

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DellAnnaLuca @DavidSteadson But can you virtue signal in an anonymous pool?

Otherwise, yes, it would be with blue.

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DellAnnaLuca ...and well...we have the two ships scene from the Dark Knight :)

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DellAnnaLuca I wonder what the "closest real example" we have to borrow from history?

The Cuban Missile Crisis maybe?

They chose blue, no? :)

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DellAnnaLuca I'd say it's mostly due to lack of experience.

We talk to humans our entire lives - we quickly learn what level of "thinking and understanding" to expect and how to interpret it.

We are babies when it comes to "trying to talk to machines."

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@dvassallo ...a mutual friend once said something along the lines of "your job is to automate your job".

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@shl @Gumclaw But can it water the plants...?

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DylanoA4 ...and in a more pessimistic light - maybe at the moment we don't deserve better art.

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DylanoA4 hmm an interesting way to frame it, yes.

So, in a way - a better audience "creates" better art?

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@DellAnnaLuca ...in the sense of "it should work well even when stupid people try to use it"?

https://t.co/X5ynEy6RnN is probably available :)

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@paulg @nikitabier What if you have the option for your account to "don't show any content posted via the API"?

Sure, it would remove some "legitimate" content but would probably be worth it given the goal.

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

Be wary of people who speak of the future with too much certainty

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@KnowYourPoker_ Would you shove any flush here?

Any bluffs with this line?

[Petar Prodanov @ProdanovP]

@KnowYourPoker_ What about
- call these exact aces 100%
- fold AdAc 100%
- and maybe 50:50 when having either Ad or Ac?
