Hah, Guy who invented "Market for Lemons" concept wrote a teardown of why the neo-Keynesian model of market failure was a bunch of shit.https://t.co/T0eQyddmuX https://t.co/LcEwIXHeNy
Whoa, the collectivist model of the market failure is a near perfect extension of Yanis' "investment game" he describes here: https://t.co/HQ4djv3OMBAmazing what pops out when I start thinking about selling stickers on the open market and how tech companies are chasing fads.
I just realized I have a severe gap in knowledge on the space of influential game theorists and economists.Went looking for people to explore and found this fantastic response to "why do you want representation in your class?" https://t.co/ofdOLKS6fD
I am not a big fan of economists as a profession. At the institutional level, all I see are gatekeeping dynamics & poor incentives. And the 'failure to replicate' phenomena strikes me as on par with larger social science in general. https://t.co/4t9bGRPQ6Zhttps://t.co/Rgv1CFIzGU
"We show that when information tends to infinite, the efficient market hypothesis ceases to be true. This happens also for lower levels of information, when the use of the maximum amount of information is not optimal for investors"https://t.co/KnsuC5e9g9https://t.co/U8O2NmIcEV
I am now thinking about speed-accuracy trade off on the back of a previous observation that p-beauty contests have multiple stable states.Also, is this the game that Yanis talked about?https://t.co/RNIn6HOSoZhttps://t.co/GnsrIDJa4T
What I can not simulate, I can not understand."Simulating Physics with Computers, Feynman 1982"https://t.co/JwG1oAd2DNOne tweet down from Lamport's ideas on speed-accuracy trade off in the context of a donkey trying to decide or starve.https://t.co/u1P88jz0qN
TFW: I realize I can just read feynman's papers on computation and physics simulation to be able go glean more about his curious perception of time. Communicating with the past.https://t.co/7t0IeLWToj https://t.co/p1eX5vrFCo
Now, why would I ever want to simulate physics?https://t.co/M7FeKFQxGi
What you must understand. At los Alamos, Feynman was 25, Neumann was 40. and 1915 Neumann would have been 11.What was Von Neumann surrounded by when he was young and naive? Surely he was inspired by the newly coined "biochemistry"https://t.co/sfp4GkSoND
2 hour lecture by Hyman Hartman, (PhD in Biochem) talking about Von Neumann on the Origin of Life . https://t.co/DJNXbUNzJN
Oh no, I've now entered "I am become god" phase of my sleep deprived insane ramblings.https://t.co/Nw7taqIPRO
That phrasing "am become" is a personal mimetic nod to Oppenheimer's reading of the Bhagavad-Gita in reference to using nuclear weapons.https://t.co/VC7xsmKTfPScares the shit out of me.
"von Neumann created the field of cellular automata through his rigorous mathematical treatment of the structure of self-replication, which preceded the discovery of the structure of DNA by several years."https://t.co/6fB2yEzW6R
Why do these ideas pop into my head?https://t.co/9BaD0dm325
"I'm going to turn this from this construction living in a soup, where things are fusing and cutting, and horrendous. I'm going to turn this into a computation. [...] therefor turned self-reproduction into computation." https://t.co/sCdkgZVkH3 https://t.co/8mwYH4Li63
When people talk about a machine with a tape... What was that a concrete metaphor of a literal ticker tape?https://t.co/ynBwornzqdIf so, why would Turing have been thinking of that at the time?
"It's really 'how do you create a machine that will do human thinking?' [...] with Babbage it was by building a mechanical machine [...] with Turing [...] not thru hard-wiring, but thru software, thru mathematics and programming"https://t.co/7wHmoIhpFA

Mark Deuze quotes Esther Dyson from "Is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?" https://t.co/YWzAzg0Bv8 while also referencing Gertrude Stein - A famous poet who also wrote about sugar. Interest in language/poetry Possibly explains transformation of informavore to informavoric?
"I hope you will excuse me if I remind you of some thoughts that I am sure you have all had — or this type of thought — which no one could ever have had in the past, because people then didn’t have the information we have about the world today."https://t.co/Fr4vyQkiWj
I'm going to start collecting articles that claim such & such discovery in genes might help cure cancer or solve some disease in the future. https://t.co/SWvVN6FdsW
If I ever get something published, I'm going to straight up tell the interviewer that my discovery might be a stepping stone toward the utter annihilation of humankind on par with Oppenheimer's little boy, then allude to accelerationism as being the devil.https://t.co/ISXZyeiuwe
"We wanted to take humans out of the equation. We were interested in total automation – and not necessarily resisting that. We had an openness to future shock and a thirst to proliferate, intensify, nurture and encourage it."https://t.co/JUjkzAUhV7

Thinking about Von Neumann again.https://t.co/KzPGxMAHAP
I mentioned how I think his legacy is blinding us.https://t.co/6MOjnXs9nv
And then this pops up into my feed - about how a bunch of genetic existentialists are trying to literally create clones of him.I think this is mostly a joke, but I am not certain.https://t.co/lA4MLl98DA
I heard once that reaction time correlates with g.Talk to me about the impact of multiple sclerosis on my reaction time and the nature of brain tuning among various white brain matter associated disordershttps://t.co/HV2zfjSSJmhttps://t.co/3m7Ru4AeBI
@substitute @eigenrobot I dug into that whole IQ + reaction time thing that rely on the fact that olympic sprinters have high IQs. Turned out many are doping with stuff like modafinil. The more I dig, the more fall apart. I think it's a deep myth.I wonder why so many football players get arthritis.
I think I can get smarter. I think that speed/accuracy trade offs are complex. I think that aging's impact on IQ is due to white matter degradation associated with increased rates insulin resistance that also shows up in diabetes.https://t.co/POVY77ZBEZhttps://t.co/hI7Y6dDmGa
If schizo, autism, & multiple sclerosis are related via white matter/myelin issues due to widespread brain inflammation... we should expect Diabetes Mellitus to exhibit demyelination symptoms?What is diabetic neuropathy?https://t.co/wdQF3mGwlVhttps://t.co/Ni4skuzQTo
Flowers for algeron, but I intentionally induce literal retardation by triggering all my M.S. symptoms and seeing how my reaction times varies thru the process.https://t.co/YY4es3vr3m
So many questions.This is why I wondered what Einstein ate:https://t.co/pg3sXP4SUoand what happens if you give a mouse a cookie.https://t.co/gSBNcOmZXu
@realjdburnett @eigenrobot We focus on genes like some kind of scientific fetish. I think it's massively oversimplifying the complex nature of adaptation and responses to resources in the environment. Missing the population forest for the gene trees.https://t.co/4JcsUrG1yn
This was linked on HN 6 months ago. Goes into some detail on the hypermind/hyperbody weirdness, and how so many people in mensa have strange mood and immune issues.https://t.co/o6tm6aW41T

The problem with being a pupil of the dead is that they can't grow alongside you. And in some-cases the ideas can be dead long before their body passes away. I'm disappointed by everyone in western history whom I once thought to looked up-to.https://t.co/EF3Vjar3tU
Feynman's "pleasure of finding things out" is tied to his "Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts".When you love finding things out, you eventually start butting heads with "experts" whom are famous not for being right, but for being useful.https://t.co/sucjrEaKhC

Richard Feynman was ~29 when he met Freeman Dyson at Cornell"I translated his ideas into mathematics so it became more accessible to the world. And as a result, I became famous, but it all happened within about six months"https://t.co/d5qVi9EFT3 (h/t @alexeyguzey )
Oh! My blinking being a tell is TRPM8 modulation from stress => CO2 induction driving shifts in TRPV1 and causing secondary modulation of TRP receptor sensitivity.I can account for this.https://t.co/E65ngZgTCZ
Watching a 3 hour video I saw on @Grimezsz feed while humming a mashup of Shiragami Eyes 'poker face' by Lady Gaga to encode idea.https://t.co/knmKfwQsQU
My GF noted many of Grime's videos have aspects of anime encoded in them. The Shinigami Thing is apparently a reference to DeathNote?https://t.co/JfYtnhNf4o https://t.co/hRUIIEUosz
Game theory is fun. Liv Boeree points out how that part of the challenge of playing multiplayer games is adapting your play style to the opponent to play for "loss minimization". She's good. https://t.co/JElrhOyfLO
How peculiar. Quite odd? Strange.Tired: regret minimization (re: facebook poker AI)Wired: novelty maximization."could be expressed as a Speed-Accuracy Trade off applied to risk/reward and novelty search using bayesian probability streams. "https://t.co/aUF4rrLcNw
Fun to think about that idea in the context of regret minimization.https://t.co/qpxVuPgG91
I told my GF that I don't want to have to loose my eyes again to be able to read 6th century runic and learn to predict the future. She said "knowing you, you'll probably figure out how to regrow them".She knows me well.https://t.co/G2Ceo8KXJz

Ah yes. The sphincter of the eye."In a cross section of the iris, the sphincter pupillae can be seen as an annular band of smooth muscle (100–170 µm thick; 0.7–1.0 mm wide) encircling the pupil (figure 7)." https://t.co/FD6IAIxzcdhttps://t.co/t6oLYuZ55V https://t.co/tbzoaTC6LR
Hypothetically, If I can derive the origins of proto-viking runes, I can also branch (hah) back up that that path thru the Germanic originated frank language and rederive proto-French from first principles. https://t.co/G9rcfGFTQA
I should find my stick of pinene infused oil.https://t.co/X5yMhYbQ5a
@1c75a @DDsD Pine trees release alpha-pinene in the air. A walk thru a pine forest can impact actylecholine and get a similar effect. alpha-pinene reduces Acetylcholinesterase, which makes the existing stuff last longer in your system. Potentially free if you have one in walking distance.
And see if it makes me hard.https://t.co/SCwb5BrfcX
