I want everyone to be able to achieve world they would really like; guess the best way to do that is to help people learn, build one's strengths, build small-scale and large-scale projects, and also to cooperate.
Any gift must be accepted with gratitude and, if possible, with grace.
As of 2024-12-21, I have signed no contracts I cannot mention exist. I finally got to adding this notice thanks to the one in the-gears-to-ascension's bio.
Then the tech of our day can possibly help us! If social media provided asymmetric visibility so that everyone would get seemingly community that they want...
(should not be implemented before solving other issues, like how to make the resulting information bubbles harmless)
I succeeded in downloading them through LW GraphQL at https://lesswrong.com/graphiql.

If so, they must be committing a 'disjunction fallacy', grading the second option as less likely than the first disregarding that it could be true in more ways!
Given that the current comment tree is very large and unwieldy to read through, I would suggest that specific preferences on a system are agreed-or-disagreed-upon at my dedicated post - https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/z3zCGmqPC7geBHf5N/actionable-moderation-proposals-from-comments-tree.
As of today, the feed decided to present me with five year old posts (with few new comments mixed in; checking if a pair of them were duplicates, I noticed that they weren't and found out a comment-based poll in https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/QBhoBJAxDHHuC7BeH/poll-on-de-accelerating-ai). That was quite interesting, and down that way lay discussions about curi.
That may be unhealthy amount of drama highlighted, but it showed, like, depth of the LW community history, which I saw a bit shallower. Meta-point from back there (about optimally ending discussions) seems like it ties into the recent discussions...
Currently I see the feed as tool to see new content faster and, correspondingly, to see more in total. It means a deficit of closure, though, of some functionality like "this post tries to summarize / amend and supersede / highlight gaps in / agree with an earlier bunch of work" (the said body of work being more than one early post, to eventually conclude this graph).
You may be interested in this discussion then, and also the article you mention is posted on LW too.
I strong downvoted this post because it tries to silently discharge the premises which it uses for proof and replace them with "really is better", invokes infinity without naming the class it comes out of, and glosses over things commonly accepted otherwise like 'declining marginal utility of X' where X is substituted with 'shrimp' in this case.
Using the actual surreal numbers with the surreal VNM rationality theorem would instead show the problem. What if I set one shrimp's value at the first surreal infinitesimal ? Then it would be a certain preference, but lexicographically below everyday life's ones.
Recalling the declining marginal utility would instead show the problem. What if I care for arbitrarily many shrimp at most as 5 quality-adjusted-life-years?
So, unsound logic, from my POV, is leveraged to argue for a pre-selected conclusion, which explains the post total karma.
This is written very well!
Do you have a references list by any chance, or just the links from the post?
The feed should display the post, if it chooses it at all, above (or together with) the comment from there.
At a certain point, graph theory starts to include more material - planar graph properties, then graph embeddings in general. I haven't ever heard someone talking about a 'planar binary relation'.
