The first experimental results are in, and ‘asking for what you want’ soundly defeats the null hypothesis. Yay!
This is awesome. My one full attempt at an apprentice went quite well in the past, in a completely different field, albeit with a stronger selection filter, and the person in question ended up world-class and now is running a successful start-up for which I’m a small angel.
There was an aborted attempt to take on a rationalist at one point, alas that did not work out as at the time the thing I was doing didn’t go well and the operation ended before they could get good, as the opportunity costs to continuing were too high. It did look promising in terms of the apprentice developing good skills, and if I’d had more capital at the time I think it would have gone well.
I also hired someone who will start Monday who will kind of be an apprentice, but they are rather uniquely high human capital in many related ways, so it doesn’t count.
Matches like this seem highly valuable, and I think it would be good to provide some resources to make this easier.
