While we're considering stuff: if you have persistent seasonal allergies, consider a steroid nasal spray rather than antihistamine pills. Different profile of side effects, and often more effective.
Tried to check a couple of the claims I found particularly surprising, was not especially siuccessful in doing so:
pray that the brain doesn’t actually use things like temperature for cognition (it probably does).
Link here goes to a 404 error
Parts of this are easily falsifiable through the fact that organ transplant recipients sometimes get donor’s memories and preferences
Seems overstated to treat this as established "fact" when the source presented is very anecdotal, and comes from a journal that seems to be predisposed to spiritualism, homoepathy, ayurveda, yoga, etc (PS also your link formatting is broken)
I don't have citations to hand, but my impression from what I've read before is that the total amount of carbon emitted by early industry is relatively minor, and that the exponentially increasing curve of emissions puts the bulk of the total occurring relatively recently.
Which would put significant culpability on recent oil/gas/coal use, by people and companies that had the scientific understanding to "know better" if they were inclined to. But that in many cases they instead deliberately downplayed and ignored and spread misinformation, so as to continue extracting and selling lucrative fuel products.
Calling it an accident feels like it diffuses responsibility away from some genuine bad actors. Which seems to me to be a factual error, regardless of whether it's a good communications or persuasion strategy.
Along similar lines of trying to coordinate through a limited amount of allowed communication: Codenames, Mysterium, Hanabi, and The Mind
For a very direct and literal example: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kM3Xd2mJeWtsGkgSW/the-schelling-game-a-k-a-the-coordination-game
One that checks if individual nodes in the graph are aligned and prunes any that are not
Has "draw the rest of the owl" vibes to me.
If your plan to align AI includes using an AI that can reliably check whether actions are aligned, almost the entirety of the problem passes down to specifying that component.
Or just a post-hoc rationalisation, by people who know you're "supposed" to salt the pasta water, but don't really know why. Because they've been taught to cook by example rather than from theory and first principles (as most of us are), maybe by someone who also didn't know why they do it.
If they've also separately heard that salt raises the boiling point of water, but don't really know the magnitude of that effect, then that presents itself as an available salient fact to slot into the empty space in "I salt my pasta water because..."
"Lab leak" doesn't necessarily imply "created in a lab".
The "leak" theory as I've understood it is still about a naturally occurring virus - with samples being collected from wild animals and studied at a lab, before it escaped again.
Considering my options for following without needing to remember to check the site: what gets posted into the newsletter, and how frequent are the updates? Is there an RSS feed?
