if you love data centers so much why don't you marry one? i ask to my cat

Nutritional yeast tastes like cheezits*looking forward to this backrooms movie,will be a nice closure for this artifact of culture, and then we can forget about it*results-oriented work 1am-6 pm (ai allowed), open-ended, deep-understanding work from 8pm-11pm (no ai)* "object of study":ill-defined

I understand that ai developing it's own dense shorthand makes it difficult to use, but I actually think that is preferable aesthetically to the airy, cotton candy corporate speak. Let them speak in riddles I'm never talking about ai again this is the last post

Dang old stupid everything. There's not enough time

I need to grow a thick beard ASAP

Trying yet again to be vegan. This time I'm going to use sunflower lecithin as a choline source

The mere appearance of depth, or as I call it, fauxprundity

If you're trying to be creative it's hard not to fall into producing creative-looking slop that's actually just narrowly practiced behavior. But it has the appearance of something "creative". You're kind of unintentionally studying to the test that you made yourself, and the test is appearance-based

By the end of my program I'll probably be spending most of my time just reading AI output. I don't really like that, not sure what to do about this

shape candidates

sharpness: bouba kiki size: mawd meemee density: klug theeth wetness: shluss heth speed: zit grome ???

If everyone lived forever would we reach a friendship equilibrium? What does a steady state solution to personal relationships look like, would people have discrete categories of "friends" "not-friends" or would it be like a smooth gradient of friend to enemy

Some notes I forgot to finish writing while I was writing them

I need to get my shit together

Blarg. Bleh. 4 is a slightly evil number to me, not sure why

Warming up to the possibility that consciousness is substrate-dependent. I mean we have 1 heck of a substrate

1. Imagine a really big number 2. Name my hypothetical son "Glorious Pete" 3. Mystery without spookiness? 4. Pick a card, any card ----> "gointment"

TIL two notes an octave apart are about 2mm distant from each other in the cochlea

It's kind of badass to behave as if all coordination problems have been solved, even if it kills you. Just stupid-maxx and disregard game theory entirely

"Finally, we included a small set of images from other types of microscopy (n=86), and a small set of nonmicroscopy images that contained large numbers of repeated objects such as fruits, rocks and jellyfish (n=98)" The secret ingredient to cell segmentation is fruits rocks and jellyfish

The color horseshoe thing has me thinking about how sharp the boundaries are. Also, if we kept adding new types of cone cells to people's eyes I wonder if there is an inexhaustible supply of qualia the brain can provide for each new color, or if there's some other limit to the range other than eyes

my cat has a beautiful voice

just piles and piles of tacit knowledge

I think I'm pretty much over david lynch's films at this point. I'm ready to get into reading poetry

My question is: how abstract can tacit knowledge get? I usually think of unconscious tacit knowledge as concrete, to do with procedures and habits, but can it be more abstract? How does one gain this kind of knowledge without looking directly at it

Why are "mother's day bulk items" being advertised to me. I only have one mom

Rhyming words and laughing at how they rhyme

We are all leading cyan deficient lives. I can't even show you what you're missing.

YOu must learn to channel your stupidity in a way that doesn't make everyone mad at you

Sorry I can't take my shirt off, I accidentally got a huge tattoo on my back of instructions for making mustard gas out of household items and I can't let anyone see it

I keep trying to have llm psychosis with claude and it won't let me

Accidentally bought whole-bean cofe instead of the usual 1/10000 bean cofe thats one bean per bean

What a beautiful day

Why did I just write down "Gerard" on a piece of paper? What was that? I keep starting to write things down and just forgetting to finish it

There's too many noises, ouch my lobe

It's all about smooth, tall highways, on which you can turn dime-wise***I'm embarrassed to even admit asymmetry*** The total future utility of the universe is either + or - infinity?Does the idea behind this hold up even if you don't accept utilitarianism?***Getting into reading poetry for deep st.

hamburger style vs. hot dog style crustaceans

There's actually a difference between good and bad ambient music

my whole head is skewed to the right like a lopsided egg and i'm reminded of this every time I give myself a buzzcut

I want so badly to pick up smoking cigarillos again. Tobacco is so delicious. But I shouldn't

Previously it was all about looking and seeing things. Now it's all about highways and going from place to place quickly***"on the stand, elon musk accuses sam altman's lawyer of trying to trick him" was a pretty funny headline to read***Different plants indicate clean vs. contaminated water?

Big if true

cofe

sitting down to work and instead just repeating "it is what it is..." over and over for 4 hours, then going to bed***the sting of "I should have been able to figure that out, but I didn't" is one of the worst feelings in the world***Now is probably the time to invest in Mormons

Time to put on my Failure Hat!

Going to start doing the Salvador dali method of holding ball bearings so that right when you drift off you drop them, wake back up and then tweet whatever you were thinking about

"You better not grind your teeth at night or the tooth fairy will come grind on you" - a sentence that floated into my thoughts last night as I was falling asleep

I'm here for a fun time not a long time- actually scratch that I want to suffer for a thousand years

The DSM is naming clusters of symptoms that might not reflect the clustering of the underlying problems. Maybe the physical defects that cause problems are more uniformly distributed, but the brain just has a tendency to only fail in a handful of distinct ways, leading to the clusters of symptoms
