Well, I were intending to write more on that post. But I guess i wasn’t clear abut that.
Anyway, the “modification” in this case is running yourself faster than realtime and using a simple simulation instead of say a robotic body. But that’s not really the point.
I guess the reason I thought this to be an appropriate post is the insight that just having lots of time, with no other changes, is enough to enable you to do superhuman things. Yea, it’s all ridiculously obvious to anyone who’ve spent 5 min on LW but I included it for completeness i guess and because later posts might build of it.
