#FediTips the single most powerful tool you have at your disposal as a new mastodon user is the power button on your computer

Nobody upvoted my LW shortform relating inadequacy with PoA and PoS 💔

but it's really nice! if you have a upper bound on the PoA and a lower bound on the PoS, you can upper bound the PoI!

Same symmetrically for PoI lower bounds

and there's a bunch of results from routing games that e.g. say that the PoA is upper-bounded by the Pigou bound in arbitrary graphs, or the price of stability is upper-bounded 𝓗_k for cost-sharing games with k agents. (no lower bounds bc little interest sofar)

well you mom's Hessian has some non-negligible eigenvalues

I seem to have struck a somewhat Faustian bargain

Daygame bundles and then burns off anxiety

But also creates an adaption to anxiety-burnoff, so if I don't daygame I have latent anxiety-buildup

@FeelsMcReals @pee_zombie @WomanCorn

In particular, I follow accounts who lean towards

* text content over other types of content
* doing little boosting
* schizo as opposed to normie and
* shitposting as opposed to seriousposting

but those are mostly heuristics

Hey schelling.pt users do you want me to give you a list of following recommendations I accrued after ~1 year here on fedi?

the SBF affair is the first instance I know of where someone applying consequentialism had *actually bad effects*, if he did so consciously

have the detractors of consequentialism been vindicated?

no.

but, evidence,,,

In my opinion emojis that look like the verified mark in your display name are one of the grossest aesthetics why would you want that
