I don't know if Ray was quoting heard from me, but I recall hearing from an employee the intention was to stay 18 or 24 months behind the frontier. Later the employee totally denied having said this though (I don't recall if the objection was the idea of staying behind or the specific numbers).

Oh yeah. I made it so bookmarked items randomly appear but it's not that great. 

I don't think we've ever framed it that way, but the LessWrong Annual Review is also a chance to do one round of spaced repetition on those posts from yesteryear. Going through the list, I see posts I recognize and remember liking, but whose contents I'd forgotten. It's nice to be prompted to look at them again.

I'm nominating this somewhat both in its own right and somewhat as a represenative of all Ray's posts. 

While AI has become the urgent and dire matter where so much attention has concentrated, I feel like Ray perhaps more than anyone else I can name, has kept alive the OG vision of improving human rationality. I find it hard to prioritize this kind of training and skill gains, but I think what Ray names likely is just really good to do, is in some ways basic and obvious, and stuff I do sometimes, but not always. So I'm glad Ray did this work even though it seems he hasn't continued it.

I'll be interested to see he's reflections after another year.

Perhaps the most disliked aspect of the New LessWrong feed was the "modals" upon clicking links instead of full page navigations. We did that because full navigation would lose your place in the feed upon returning.

Fortunately, at long last and after much anticipation, we have upgraded our tech stack so that modals are no longer needed. Clicking links in the Feed will take you to direct primary main full page for posts, comment links, and user profiles.

Tagging users who I recall waiting on this. @dirk @Rana Dexsin 

Sorry for the delayed reply here, the mix of different feeds is unintended and likely to do with cookies as we had an A/B test running that depends on a cookie there, at least if you're logged out, which is a bit odd here. We have ended the A/B test though making it all moot.

I see the case for the different sizes to differentiate. The opinionated choice I was convinced into was to go for unifying the content types, and overall this making things easier to just read. You shouldn't be shown a comment thread unless you've viewed a post, though detecting of post viewing is not amazing at present.

Pedantic a but good suggestion nonetheless ;) Thanks!

I don't mind a bit of meta in my media, but sounds like this show has just become about how many more seasons the show will have. 

Curated. Reading this, I felt like it was a response to my recently posted Ruby's Inkhaven Retrospective where this was exactly my complaint. Looking at this as a LW moderator, takes us back to the question of reward signals and what we incentivize. I like this post for describing the present the reality, I'd welcome further posts (from any authors) discussing what we should try to be rewarding.

(On that note, the LessWrong Annual Review will start in a few days!)
