There’s a lot of Europe bashing on twitter these days, but it’s temporary Not because Europe will get better, but because soon, Europe being poorer will be as obvious as Africa being poorer, and making fun of it of equally bad taste

before this, i basically had a mental model that US and EU were functionally identical living standards this was years ago, and it seems like it's becoming even less true over time

If your code spends 5% of its time in function X, optimizing X can only speed up your program by 5% at most But this heuristic (Amdahl's law) applies to team processes, sales funnels, everything Learning to focus on the high-leverage points is a mark of career maturity

the worst part of developing stateful services is sometimes fixing a bug might break someone downstream of you if they had worked around your bug

I say this as someone from a family of blue blood Dartmouth WASPs but there is actually no group of people I trust more with the education system than moderately conservative jews.

It’s crazy how relaxed you can be about looming societal problems if your AGI timelines are short enough

The biggest blackpill on current longevity research is that there aren’t any 30 year old lab mice You’re telling me you want humans to live forever and you can’t even get a mouse to midlife crisis yet??

i kinda don't vibe with 90% of tpot which means vibing isn't the crucial ingredient i think an austere commitment to not trying to coerce everyone into a One True System is probably The Thing serendipitous vibing is a by-product, and can't be forced

I really wish there was a variant of Judaism that had Catholic architectural aesthetics The child molesting isn't ideal, but the Catholics sure know how to build an edifice

It would be so much fun to work on the code that plans these kind of insane orbital maneuvers Anyone have any idea how interesting/complicated this is? Is the search space large or can you narrow it enough with physical constraints? xitter.cf/leometric/status/17338…

Whenever I think "order of magnitude" I think 4x Like $1M is in the same ballpark as $2M, but $4M is entering a new zone Making code run 2x faster is nice, but 4x faster is a whole different thing Probably because I visualize a lot in 2D, so 2x on each axis = 4x more area

In 2014 Elon started a small private school for he and his friends' kids. He got a lot of flak for excluding foreign language curriculum - he predicted AI would obviate learning those soon IMO he is being totally vindicated, we are 1-2 years from universal translator in AirPods
