I wish someone (on lesswrong) who understands how fashion works on a nuts-and-bolts level would write this down. I've spent the last year (and a lot of money) on a bunch of outfits, and watched/read some fashion guides for guys, and can't put my finger down on anything but the basics (match colors, collars are better than no collars, etc..)

The feedback is very sparse (coworker complimenting a dress, more smiles from strangers when I'm outside, etc) and all the sources I've read feel like pseudoscience. And yet some people have consistently good style - how do they do this? I now have 8 outfits that I can cycle through during dates etc, but surely this could be improved.

Deviate more than a little from the route, and the parade will cease to follow you.

I'd say actual king power is getting the parade to follow you regardless of the deviations.

Just as you probably aren't a very good wizard if you can only make things you've already seen others make, you probably aren't a very good king if you can only lead if you follow the parade.

If you haven't already, talk to a guy! (typically a therapist but doesn't have to be)

I have something like this but for decisions, where I will avoid making decisions for mysterious reasons (we figured out it's because I can't be sure it'd be pareto optimal, among other reasons).

I now notice more often when I'm doing this, and correct more gracefully.

I'm also unsure what happens when a group of people does this strategy, I'd like to hear more about this dynamic 

I mean saying that I don't find https://ai-2027.com/ unreasonable can sound crazy, but I think I should say this regardless.

But I framed the thing the way I did to also get feedback, so feedback is good!

I also notice o3 not commenting code (and sometimes even removing existing comments)! Perhaps because smaller code gets better rewards?

I think it's completely fine to sound crazy when talking about a thing you believe in - if talking about AI risk in a way that's candid makes you sound crazy, go for it.

1. If you're correct, you get points from whoever heard you make the crazy prediction. They are then more likely to listen to more crazy predictions/solutions.
2. If you're wrong, this is good feedback from reality. This is a good opportunity to correct yourself!

Either way, you should either believe in what you say, or say what you believe in.

I love this quick takes thing:

• Low-key a better version of twitter
• I can blurb because I don't have the attention span to form thoughts long enough for a post
• Maybe one day I will collect enough thoughts here to get a LLM to slop out a post

I figured out how to not forget my keys when going out by sticking a bright post-it to the door that says "keys?"

All it took was realising that I am not infact "built different" and forget my keys all the time. This week was high-stakes because flatmate is out, and wouldn't be able to bail me out of being stuck outside.

Whether this sticks (ha!) or I start to ignore the post-it remains to be seen.

I've figured out a way to stop myself from doomscrolling - every time I see a YouTube short, I do 10 pushups.

I started by mapping this in my brain by opening a short, and immediately doing 10 pushups. And I seem to have not watched a single short in the last week.

I did have to stop mid-poop and do 10 pushups at one point though, because I opened the shorts and realised this after scrolling through half a dozen of them.
