  1. It is impossible to have a good day
  2. "you're my pineapple cider, you're the worm in my grapefruit" (of montreal)
  3. @interfluidity but isn't one of the precepts of value investing that you want to put your money wherever fear and uncertainty reign?
  4. RT @leoncrawl Will starbucks VIA do for coffee what the iPod did for mp3s?
  5. @leoncrawl some ceilings
  6. @interfluidity but now i must watch battlestar galactica and then read 10-Qs. appreciate discussion!
  7. @interfluidity agreed, but -- do you read e yudkowksy? -- we mustn't (in either case) worship the mystery. true curiosity seeks own demise
  8. @interfluidity after all, what is the alternative?
  9. @interfluidity by empathy and by common (computational/biological) design. we must act on those inferences, tho aware of their fallibility
  10. @interfluidity i'm just saying that a perceptive person like yourself should not hide light under bushel!
  11. @interfluidity 2 b clear, software/hardware comment was about drawing conclusions about other people's inner lives, not stress test
  12. @interfluidity my general view is that, since we're all running ~the same software on ~the same hardware, inferences are licensed
  13. @interfluidity it was re: characterization of Treas officials' motivations/strategies. "rude"? maybe. but "rude"&"honest" not unrelated
  14. @interfluidity that's what the platonic arg is about. actual arg: "the regs caved to the banks!" "the modeled losses are ridic hyperbole!"
  15. @interfluidity it's dishonest (tho v common) to pretend to understand less about others' inner lives than one really thinks one does
  16. @interfluidity we still have to make guesses and run with them. what i resent (not on yr part) is facile dismissal of good-faith guesses
  17. @interfluidity uncertainty/probability is a fact about our state of knowledge, not a fact about reality. as non-omniscient agents...
  18. @interfluidity the truth is sadder than the cynical weltanschauung: smart yet clueless people diligently carrying out pointless tasks
  19. @interfluidity but there is a fact of the matter as to what loans will and will pay off in various possible universes, no?
  20. @interfluidity for the record, thought your characterization of meatspace ingratiation tactics was fabulous
