By "here," I meant Israel.

Bayes' Theorem is taught in High-School here, at all levels of math.

Some mixture of verbal thinking, and what I can only really describe as 'thinking in rules'.

I sometimes forget how much untapped potential in term of networking opportunities Less Wrong holds.

Probably made even more difficult because I misremembered the letter. It was G*, and the article was The Importance of Goodhart's Law. It suddenly came back to me in a flash after seeing your reply, so thanks!

I need help finding a particular thread on LW, it was a discussion of either utility or ethics, and it utilized the symbols Q and Q* extensively, as well as talking about Lost Purposes. My inability to locate it is causing me brain hurt.

If you're having difficulty with Akrasia and procrastination and you are still looking for solutions, might I suggest the Less Wrong Study Hall? We do constant pomodoros of 25 minutes work, 5 minutes rest, and many of us have found it tremendously effective.

This conversation just metacitasized.

It's okay, I'll show myself out.

Also, aren't MRI's going to be a problem?

How do you know that?

I really liked about half of it, and thought the other half was meh.

I would use this.

I find it tough to explain stuff like this. I just thought it was crap, and didn't understand an ounce of the hype or adoration. There may be nothing deeper to it than I just didn't enjoy it.

I thought it was terrible.

Crap, I need to adjust the chances of me making it due to unforeseen stuff. I'd say about 50-50 right now.

I'll be there. I can give anyone who needs a ride to and from Jerusalem.

:D

My sister was a Gadna instructor. She got all the crazy Russian kids who would fill their canteens with Vodka.

I get drafted in a few weeks. If you have a day off, I think LW Israel is meeting on July 4th, you should join us!

I’m a self-taught 20 year-old American currently serving as a volunteer soldier in the Israeli Defense Force, where I am a proud senior vice supply closet manager at an army-themed summer camp for the worst teenagers in the Middle East.

Gadna, I presume?

Someone needs to redo that website before my eyes explode.

Why on earth downvote this? (Was at -2)
