These seem like some of the first things anybody should've done with LLMs. At least, I came up with them (and various related ideas) pretty easily despite not having done any ML, and despite presumably being dimmer than many of the researchers. So maybe they've been done.
In general, many kinds of rationality training are extremely convenient for LLMs compared to humans.
I wrote down several other obvious ideas but am not now disclosing for fear of advancing capabilities, since the available LLMs really don't seem coherent, and there're other dead-obvious id...
It feels weird that to me, "half" conveys precision while "51%" is clearly an approximation whose exact value isn't important. Usually people talk like they see things the opposite way.
Edit: "Half" means 'as much as not' to me, while "51%" is a stand-in for whatever constant (or function‽) I like. This is hilarious.
@AprilSR just released a VR game of distinguishing such colors. So you should try it if you have VR.
Probably this kind of effect should be in ~all VR games, it's wonderful.
That's better, but it's not as catchy, :(. 60% would also be better than 'half'.
The correct percentage here varies wildly person-to-person.
I think I would've said "everything in moderation" to convey the same sentiment. You can probably find something better than that.
Dolby 3D glasses. They're meant for Dolby's old home laser projectors. Other discussions might've called them "hexachromatic glasses".
Sorry for unclarity, I only meant to talk about normal screens. If you want more colors on a display you should just get better LEDs, it's pretty silly to add an extra "primary" unless this is very important to you (or you're very rich).
Three types of cone times two eyes makes six color channels.
Yeah, infrared and stuff sounds great. I was already talking about a kind of false-color though, so that doesn't help explain.
I didn't make a for-all claim that could have examples and counterexamples; I just meant I think that 'half' is way off. Some types of advice actually equilibrate at about 50% worthwhile, it matters that this type doesn't (if you don't view the blogpost as an unrepresentative example of the reference-class I described).
From the blogpost:
Visioning is concretely imagining amazing, detailed fantasies, usually of the future or of a better way the world could be. The fantasies are often completely unrealistic.
It's very important for the fantasies to be concrete, detailed, and amazing; at least starting out, these should be explicit goals.
IIUC it's also very important for the fantasies to in-expectation have benefits other than rest and positive-valence; otherwise there probably wouldn't be a blogpost about them.
Likely things can sometimes see unlikely things. (For another example, you can see these made-up people.)
So you can just suppose that, in your fantasy, you (unknowingly) are vastly more real than the other people.
I want those infrared contact lenses I saw in the news, that convert some infrared light to visible! Ideally I want some head-mounted set of lenses/goggle toggles to let me see various things, kinda like that scene from spy-kids and closer to another scene I have vague memories of from some movie/tv show I can't remember.
For cool views, the lenses in this kind of 3D-glasses are a good start. They have distinct RGB channels for each eye, so in-principle you get six primary-colors (though they're not spread as evenly across the spectrum as we'd like). The le...
I think 'reverse half the advice you hear' doesn't much apply to something like "here is a novel activity to try".
Surely there are robust mind-reading techniques. I agree this isn't one, though.
I think you'd moreso want Haiku to explain things to Fable.
The eighth year of the 21st century was 2007.
Sometimes people get confused and think their qualia are epiphenomenal, and SFAICT this doesn't make them much less selfish.
Hm, 'period of the large fluctuation in sunlight' doesn't work near our poles.
Humans are built associating red and green with different feelings. So you can imagine swapping over those instincts.
Free-will can be operationalized into many different concepts, my claim is that people come up with those by rationalizing basically the same brain-concept in different ways.
I have inside a thing I can choose to feel confused about in (what I think is) the same way as other people that speak of qualia. I wouldn't think to do this if other people didn't tell me, and I don't have a strong opinion on if it's a bad or good idea.
Part of me feels that that confusion is silly, but it's not (yet) clearly-silly like being confused about free-will.
Free-will is a brain-concept that most people use, which can be used well or poorly, or perhaps be discarded; very similar is the sense of self. Also nearby (though less arbitrary) are the dis...
This comment got me to try bupropion maybe a year ago, as a first antidepressant. So far it might or might not have been helpful.
