The salt in pasta water fallacy

Nit: I think the energy savings from turning off your wifi will be higher, as your ISP also saves on not having to run some routers and so on

How To Dress To Improve Your Epistemics

Do you know of such a dataset? I've tried spending some time on Pinterest for "fashionable" outfits but didn't find that productive

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.

Orienting Toward Wizard Power

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
