Arcteryx Anarchist posted:what kind of brain worms do you need to have to post random hash codes on twitter reminds me of the twitter account that was started, went protected, posted hundreds upon hundreds of predictions for the world cup, then deleted the ones that didn't pan out. unlocked their account after the cup ended and wow, this account predicted so much stuff accurately, and it was all posted before the events actually happened!!

Arcteryx Anarchist posted:iirc from some discussions with someone about it on Street Fight, onlyfans is tiny compared to patreon and outside of like long tail stuff, sex work was probably never a huge part of patreon? For one, sex work is still a part of Patreon. Also, why would you quote "someone on Street Fight". Garbage podcasts aren't sources. Is this thread HN?

Using my super powers to predict the next 9/11 but instead of stopping it just posting cryptic hash codes I can snugly point to later.

kragen 2 minutes ago [-] Consider a food service worker in Facebook's cafeteria. In an hour, perhaps they make 30 lunches, which in the best case delight 60 people for an hour: 60 person-hours of delight for an hour of work. Now contrast a Facebook programmer, who in one hour might be able to fix a bug that has been annoying 0.1% of Facebook's 2.5 billion users, causing them to be frustrated rather than delighted for, say, two minutes a day, for the next three years before the feature gets rewritten. Maybe that sounds trivial, but if so, shut up and multiply: 2.5 million hours of delight per month for 36 months gives you 90 million hours of delight, for the same hour of work. So at a rough estimate, then, the gourmet hacker is 1.5 million times as productive as the gourmet chef. Maybe if I've2overoptimistic And that's how Facebook can be profitable at all despite all the lovely and stupid things they do: reply

i did the math. i crunched the numbers. shut up, multiplied. the conclusion was inescapable: every moment of a human life that is not drenched in the serotonin rush of hedonistic pleasure is a moment utterly wasted. billions of potential utilions and fuzzies vanishing into the ether each time i draw breath. i spared no time in pursuing a solution with the whole of my considerable intellect and the resources of my benefactors. one simple outpatient procedure, and we could peg our utility function for each individual. at first they came dribbling in one at a time, and we needed a large support staff. with experience, though, comes efficiency- the process was soon totally automated. they signed the release, we cored the prefrontal lobes, inserted IVs and catheters, and stacked them in the warehouses like cordwood. it was good, objectively, powerfully good, but still far too slow. barely making inroads on population growth. it was cheryl who deserves the credit for the real breakthrough- the imagination to see the next phase. we were discussing the reproduction problem over lunch. humans just aren't built for efficient replication- it takes so much space, so many joules of energy, and parallelism is limited, at best. hard to believe that i was once so blind! she realized we only needed brains. and not even the whole brain- when you're trying to maximize delight, most of it is just dead weight! sensing your environment, controlling skeletal muscle, regulating body temperature, memory, abstract reasoning, visual processing... so much cruft. in a few short months, we'd pared it down to the absolute minimum. a clump of cells in a petri dish smaller than a grain of rice, but quantifiably capable of experiencing a thousand times as much pleasure as a baseline human brain, unceasingly. an ASIC of delight. the swell of accomplishment was overwhelming. today, the vats store trillions of our minified humans, with new arrays being filled as fast as we can build them. it may take a few hundred years to convert all the biomass on the planet into vats, but we're already so much further ahead in utility than 21st century mankind could have conceived. the future is here, and it is so very, very bright.

optimiz3 3 hours ago | parent | favorite | on: Tesla escalates battle over alleged theft of roboc... China would be short sighted to cross Tesla right now. Tesla is way more valuable over the long term. It would ridiculously stupid to cross Tesla for a lovely copy of last year's code. Prediction: The lawsuit will be prosecuted and resolved in favor of Tesla.

toomuchtodo 7 hours ago | parent | favorite | on: Show HN: Free foreign exchange rates API Wouldn’t it be more reliable to ask the ECB to support JSON alongside xml? Or require them to provide JSON by law? Shims are fine, but technical debt. Fix the problem at the source. sambe 7 hours ago | parent | favorite | on: Show HN: Free foreign exchange rates API You'd enshrine in law a particular technical format? What is the cost of making such a law vs the cost of a different - but still very much usable - format? toomuchtodo 7 hours ago [-] I would, with lifecycle and sunsetting requirements. Laws are requirements docs with more ceremony and stakeholder participation, but also with much more authority.

This is the kind of logic idiocy which is why yudkowsky thinks you should torture someone for 50 years to avoid 2^(bignumber) people getting a dust speck in their eye. 2 minutes of frustration does not accumulate when you add up the numbers, 2 minutes of frustration is nothing.
