Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

second take from me. Here's the full tweet:
I'm going to read this as a joke because he didn't end it with a period, and he is secretly beefing with aella
Yud, Aella and Hossenfelder make me want to defend modern academic institutions. Granted, that's not nearly as impressive as Scott Aaronson getting me to sympathize with a cop, but it's still an achievement.
Aella already has better credentials than EY
How briefly do you have to attend college to still be this clueless about how citations work?
well it'll become apparent during first attempts at writing a paper that requires them, but it can be a very long time if subject is dense enough
Ah more anti-intellectualism from the proto cult leader.
This does mean, as the standards are so low, that we all have a phd on Rationalism.
Ahh the missing period, an even worse tone indicator compared to /hj (youtube).
Both follow-up tweets end in periods, so I guess he transitioned to being completely serious 1/3 of the way through? Or maybe a missing period means a joke, a present period means he's serious, and partial periodization means that he's typing with one hand.
Glad I clicked the link, I was pretty sure hj meant handjob.
I am still avoiding YouTube, so I guess "hj" will mean handjob forever.
It's clearly meant to mean /HalleluJah
