@ftlsid if you buy this book + any half-decent statistics textbook you can even shave three years off that! https://t.co/QQI34l9tIx
@bhorowitz @DoNotPayLaw Wait, wait, wait. Is this...Customer Service as a Service?
"teach people how to love you" has a nice ring to it
i will keep thinking about this thread until the day i die https://t.co/fx3dvqesPD
@goblinodds in general, the best dates are where you let go of speed limits you can get entangled with a person in 5 minutes or in 5 years, the only bottleneck is how badly both of you want to keep playing the game
lmao apparently there are @tylercowen themed playlists on spotify (by @tetranow) favorite classical performances https://t.co/TIsTTBxbQ7
hi twitter, is there some kind silk road i can order vaccines from? my city has shit the bed and my hypertensive mom [58F] won't get her shots until September unless i do something about it
If you're obsessed about an idea or a thing or a bus ticket and you're having trouble pursuing it, feel free to DM me for open-ended consultation. No fees. Just wanna see if we're all having similar blocks and if something can be done about it.
some tweets/videos/articles on the strategy of "doing more" https://t.co/Cv0DFVqven
ofc the most legible formulation of this is @visakanv's "do 100 things" https://t.co/1lnnAmzEwJ
@waitbutwhy @paulg ok just checked if there are ~20 000 nebulas per galaxy, and 200B galaxies, then we have 4x10^15 of them even if you eat 100k cheez-its a second, it will still take you 1200+ years to go through the same amount
attending a 'future governance' conference in my country's top uni with a focus on AI do not look for good people here, we're ngmi https://t.co/iscXAzCJsn
@thesravaka y'all are heretics for not praying to the one true prophet @myceliummage
Okay, saying @puiwingtam and @nytimes weren’t planning on a hit piece on Scott is straining credulity now https://t.co/yzEzTiK4bW
the more i think about this, the more it feels true no one gives a shit unless you do something cool https://t.co/KwpCNqmAGI
first SEApot meetup in manila, having wine / cheese / pizza while talking about moots, memes, and otherwise parasocial relations classic tpot, future tpot, beautiful day for chaotic sensemaking + 📸 https://t.co/sVZCCScnBz https://t.co/8Kwwf7BV8K
what little mysteries have you found in otherwise innocuous places? e.g., secret tunnels, a letter inside a book
@goblinodds wrote something about this in the context of developing conversational skills, when i was much younger https://t.co/NarAPEqnYr
Without downloading new pics, reply with a pic of what dating you looks like https://t.co/Z0GqZN7M0D https://t.co/kLIcn9KGFU
@RokoMijicUK @anderssandberg @nytimes @slatestarcodex Then let’s make sure Scott’s life is disrupted minimally.

@nosilverv we have a Thing brewing in the locus of singapore, indonesia, malaysia, australia, and the philippines
“A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two is never sure.” huh..
bf whose life keeps changing, gf who keeps changing bf's life
so where? who said i could do this? the easy cop out answer is that most people could have done what i did, but they just _didn't_. a lifetime of being really good at achieving things, ie a life i was as far away as possible from leading, opens a lot of doors
@cauchyfriend https://t.co/pe8hYozBpV
@thinkagainer i spend hours reading and i feel like i have interesting things to say i just can't say them :/
@rahul0xcdf @NASAWebb @NASAHubble space is big, might as well be fixed points in the sky
@Tjdriii re social skills my roommate in college he could predict the actions of people he's heard about only 10 seconds ago
tell me i'm insane, but what i'm going to do in the next >5 years is to spawn myself a supportive context https://t.co/e78SnbwXyY
pls someone make a write-up of this which pg-isms have not survived the test of time? https://t.co/1JrmYmVZlK
two days in and i already feel so much like my True Self im a 🦊 fox, jumping from room to room, stealing conversations, communing with ghosts in attics, walking over miles of dead pavement then jumping back in the arena with nary a delay, ... https://t.co/VtgW7SQikW
call me oriental but seeing snow slowly blanketing everything in sight never ceases to amaze me https://t.co/r5MZ35WSA9
gonna force a breakthrough tonight, interrogate the gods, etc. can i get nods from the tl 😎
wait, @visakanv how come you haven’t appeared in @tylercowen’s podcast yet? you both love - books - singapore - being weirdos - finding other talented weirdos
an earlier version of junk drafted a Verbal Mathematics sequence (https://t.co/dbOVNUQrtC) but these days i'm now much more interested in the phenomenology of math, experiential math, how it feels inside for shapes and structures to fit together https://t.co/DpmKBBlKsw
this is a pillar of my belief system people vastly underrate how much luck they can create on their own

(*by which I mean a tiny office space and a dozen researchers-to-be solving the same set of open problems)
breathing in lungfuls of air in ubud right now https://t.co/EfzXzlbw9Z
part of what drives me to do so much is so i can deserve to be mourned
the people have spoken: the most EA name is 'connor'
is it an infohazard to know that your SO is almost always going to be happier with someone else?
@waitbutwhy delete this
why are threads at a low point rn? is it because grifters have coopted it as a growth hack? have we collectively decided longform on twitter is a bad idea?
hello friends, new and old https://t.co/RAdXsO65QR
i was looking for people, whereas i should have been looking for godkind
@natural_hazard you can still win while contradicting yourself
i first came across this wild idea from @metaphorician https://t.co/NPw1sfdVOi and it was mindbending coming from a "rest days are important" pov!
at some point you have to realise: no one cares about your big problems as much as you do everyone wants to make their problems yours: part of the game is learning to negotiate
@Caroline30 i love how easy it is to make friends as a man: nerddom and general competence are prized in most circles i want to be in i miss out on all the different ways of being beautiful, there are only so many aesthetic lines available for me to trace
@xsphi say more? instead of foundations, i like to think of them as entrances but some fields (e.g., math) are still cumulative enough that you have to choose one or else you'll find it hard to reach the top of the building
@nobu_hibiki dunno if this would help but before it became intuitive to me i just ran through the basic scenarios in my head every time eg do they like me? do they not? are they still deciding? and fractally consider them for every interaction
one of the worst things you can do when someone is trying to confide in you is to then manoeuvre the convo to talk about how bad you are at being a confidant sometimes Just Being There is better than trying to be better
@tpotvibecamp actually will there be a virtual camp? is anyone interested in a simultaneous virtual camp?
just read scott's master/slave essay and idk what it is but i find his writing too 'slick' now, like his words don't seem to originate from someone who struggled through confusion
hello twt, maybe you can help solve a health problem i seem to be having rn basically: i often forget things i'm thinking about mid-sentence, as soon as i get distracted UNLESS i take a multivitamin the night before
one day i shall make a thread on why harmony is a misguided abstraction
takes a lot of slow, painstaking work to build things faster
@patio11 The trouble with NYT is that they refused to budge on the pseudonimity issue. https://t.co/b68oSXgTD2 It’s one thing to have different expectations. It’s another thing to basically say “yep we’re exposing you to the wolves and you better be ok with it” https://t.co/BiStLNbqse
(okay some of these are duplicates but still! every single one of them has to be spotless)
beseech the gods for me? 🤞😊
seems like @slatestarcodex needs to close some predictions now https://t.co/xbHxUGZA6a
as my twenties come to a close (not yet, in ~2 years time), the big question has changed from “what can i do that seems impossible for my age?” to “do i still have that dawg in me?”
@BecomingCritter you did really well ❤️🩹
@sonyasupposedly isn't that uh a security flaw... like, someone can pester you to do the things they don't want you to do until you're the sort of person they need you to be
