@RoamResearch is there a known service problem right now? I'm getting a forever-spinning astrolabe. (cleared cache & disabled adblock, tried another browser, all no effect)

@ObserverSuns The sink is the basin part, not the faucet, and it's literally the etymological reason the dynamical-systems type of sink is called that leave the sink as-is and start calling the faucet 'source'

@gruber I guess the point is -- if the EC hadn't in 2009 shepherded everyone away from proprietary connectors onto microUSB (with a continued threat of regulating if they went back to form), do you really think they'd all have seen the light by themselves when USB-C came out?

@gruber But now that the original memorandum of understanding has expired, apparently industry couldn't agree on a new one with the EC. So the EC is exercising its fallback option of regulating. 3/3

@louispilfold no syntax. instead, of all substrings of a string that are valid expressions in the language, the longest is assumed to be intended as an interpolation and evaluated. repeat until either no substrings are valid expressions or you get into a cycle

@DRMacIver Comté, mozzarella, or parmesan, depending on context (on its own; with salad-like things (eg tomato and avocado); with savoury/umami things respectively)

@ObserverSuns Chronological; notifications don't seem to be affected by that setting. That said, subjectively it does seem to have gotten better recently.

Most irritating feature of twitter: the fake notification ('person x tweeted y') that shows up on the account switcher if you don't log in to some account for a couple days (and have no real notifications on that account). Infuriating, and 'see less often' makes no difference.

I know I haven't tweeted here for a bit. Recently I've been more feeling my other alt, which has a different vibe I think I quite like the gradual drifting, spending a few weeks deeply inhabiting a section of space (both social- and persona-), then circling back to other parts.

@parafactual for all x, there exist people who are passionate about x relatedly, for all x, x has interesting weird hidden depths that most people don't know about wrt x=accounting, @patio11 sometimes has interesting threads (and a newsletter) on that

The Romans had a good run and all, but you can tell they weren't REALLY serious about world domination, because their haruspex tech just sucked. So haruspex is reading the future on the organs of an animal, and apparently worked pretty well, but they used MAMMALS. Big mistake.

If you end up doing most of the things you seriously consider doing, you should probably widen the set of things that you seriously consider

@Kirsten3531 @gptbrooke I claim the last is a lie by reason of pedantry: wikipedia says a barony title can derive either from a surname or a territorial designation, but not from a first name, so you would not in any case be "Baroness Kirsten"

@Alephwyr alternatively: EMH says that if EMH were true there's no point in believing in it because there wouldn't be any remaining value available for doing so

@nyctibia Ratfics seem to often have characters who intend something in the vicinity of 'become god and reshape the universe in their image', which is arguably quite ambitious. eg worth the candle, hpmor, unsong

the fact that very few others in my field are thinking seriously about this is a good enough reason for me not to right

Reading the PaLM paper has successfully made thinking about the future of my field in general, and me in it in particular (not to mention humanity in even more general) even more aversive than it was. maybe I should become an ultra-near-termist for the psychological benefits
