nintendo and xbox should send champions to engage in single combat for the right to standardise on their preferred ABXY button layout. And nintendo's champion should win

I don't know any maths, so I'm finding the paper with reflections from mathematicians on the OAI model's disproof of the unit distance conjecture useful context cdn.openai.com/pdf/74c24085...

great thing about talking to LLMs is you can end a sentence with "lol" without feeling like a loser

promoting your soundcloud with viral tweets but all your music is promoting your onlyfans

you see a moot dunking on someone in the replies on the one hand, it's funny and deserved, on the other you don't want to positively reinforce them like or no?

I'm feeling like the real estate of the walled garden enclave over here is lacking. venture outside of following onto For You or even Popular With Friends and the Stancil-discourse is inescapable. the old twitter one feels fractured and dispersed

Underexplored: abstract gaming. Every input has a satisfying response, deep mechanics to discover, the visuals are pleasing, but it's not obviously representational of anything

Linguist deciding whether to get bottom surgery call that PP attachment ambiguity

had a dream that I was summoned before an affable russian mob boss and asked to help him with his lack of romantic success. I was trying to delicately probe stuff like whether he understood that everyone in his vicinity was afraid of dying and whether he was capable of respecting a no

I just started Frieren. It's stunning, first show in a while that's made me want to give it my full attention instead of a half-window. It's also making me memento mori which I'm not enjoying

*extremely high pitched voice* worth it

Just learned that Brainiac the supervillain pre-dates brainiac the word???

listening to "money for nothing" for the first time the riff kicks in: "ok I can see how this band is popular" guy start singing: "ahh nevermind"

I've lost the ability to evaluate fiction as art. I straight up can't tell if me getting bored is a problem with the work or it's just because my ability to focus on anything has been obliterated by the internet

The tenor of the US discourse surrounding public/private schooling always seemed really strange to me, as though private schools are this hyper-elite option. Whereas as an aussie going to private school seemed pretty banal.

tiling wm users will really press five three-key chords in a row to avoid having to drag and drop

it's condemnable how close the word "condemnable" is to the word "commendable"

guy who pronounces dandelion like evangelion

"classic" is the new em-dash

Something my father once told me, that I'll never forget, he said to me: "son, maxims feel much more resonant when they come from a wise elder figure in an anecdote"

discourse on twitter today is more hasanabi on stealing, and Tim Urban brought the red vs blue pill debate is back. I think I'll stick to over here

I absolutely love the way they sync vantom's attacks to the music

I feel much more motivated to read the zvi writeup of these CEO interviews than to actually listen to them.

me at 18, an idiot: wow, it sure would be cool if the world learned about my niche community and interests!

Just watched the street fighter movie trailer. the epicified orchestral versions of pop songs in movie trailers are such an ick dude. Do people really like this shit? It just feels so artificial and corporate

Track review thread for tunes I've been listening to for the first third of the year:

If I'm being honest "can you explain this gap on your resume" jokes make me want to die

non techno-optimist ⏹️s are a new and unsettling development

Jorbs is the GOAT slay the spire streamer because he has the best evil laugh

Hope I win this run

woke up and tuned in literally 5 seconds before splashdown lol

Now that chatgpt is getting ads, they're incentivised to engage you, whereas they weren't before

In a catastrophic typo, researchers ask superintelligence to optimize for CVE

I'm starting to get AI generated video essays recommended on youtube. It often takes several minutes for my slop detectors to kick in, when I hear some LLM-ish wording, notice that the pleasantly nondescript voice of the speaker is probably high quality TTS, the channel has like 1000 subs

the crew of Integrity are getting a burning smell from their toilet. They seem fairly unconcerned about it

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

Nasa just went live for artemis II www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR...

The worst bowel movements are a bit like watching DBZ. You think you're getting to the good bit but instead you get a full episode of screaming with every muscle tensed followed by a "tune in next time"

It's funny to observe the relative quality of letterboxd and goodreads. I wonder if it indicates the relative cultural prioritisation of movies and books

could you enjoy having sex with a watermelon you hate? (Y/N)

I have also been using duckduckgo as a google alternative for a while, and if I'm being completely honest with myself, it's ass. I regularly get bad results, and have to try again with google. Google's shadiness makes it socially desirable that the alternatives be better, but it's not true

Imagine if we get superhuman AI and everyone except Yud and Soares becomes convinced that it's benign. Their interactions with it would be so narratively interesting

A spider just spun a web down from the ceiling and almost landed on my head like in a fucking cartoon at 4:30 AM

I am at 54 following and 54 followers. This is my 54th post.

pulled one of the guys who did 9/11 in wikigacha

Sometimes you need to walk through the steps of an argument again with someone to remember where you were up to in your thinking

People are focusing on the wisdom of dario writing that memo, but also, who the fuck leaked it? That also seems pretty unwise
