In retrospection, this method can’t be universal. Someone pointed out that:
Some people can force themselves to awake, sleep deprivation or not.
Some people oversleep.
Group 1 doesn’t use alarm clocks. Group 2 must use them.

Q: How confident are you in Newton’s law of universal gravitation?
A: Depends on the conditions.
Not good enough. You need a proof that humans can understand.
(one line that copies the AI into the brain of whoever reads it)
In a perfect world, Eliezer Yudkowsky will be concise. And that will be scary.
Heal it with the power of love.
for example, can you conceive of a reason (not necessarily the officially stated one) that the actual basilisk discussion ought to be suppressed, even at the cost of the damage done to LW credibility (such as it is) by an offsite discussion of such suppression?
What if he CAN’T conceive a reason? Can you conceive a possibility that it might be for other reason than Gwern being less intelligent then EY? For example, Gwern might be more intelligent than EY.
The old tired counterargument: nobody colonized Earth’s cloud-tops yet, and they sure are easier to get to.
Also, if you have the means to colonize Venus, you don’t need to colonize Venus anymore. The ship that took you to Venus is a better place to live in that the colony.
disclaimer : I don’t actually believe this.
Really? Or do you just want us to believe that you don’t believe this???
There are reasons to colonise Venusian cloud-tops that don’t exist for Earth ones (reducing xrisk, scientific discovery, etc)
Building a research base is not the same as colonizing.
Living in space long-term has lots of drawbacks, mainly to do with radiation and the lack of gravity.
Well, if we want to seriously travel in space, even in our own solar system, we will have to solve those problems anyway (in a form of radiation shielding and rotational gravity). And by solving them, we will end with a flying colony.
So, Japanese, Taiwanese and South Koreans are EEIRD?
Well, there’s a nice site dedicated to Elon Musk, http://shitelonsays.com/
You can start from there. :-)
Interesting as in “interesting times”?
I think the Dark Lord already designed us to be interest maximizers. They probably lead dull lives, the poor things...
What, can’t they search for local reversals of entropy?
Read only or mainly the abstracts
Feh. Dilettantes read the abstracts. Professionals read the Methods section.
Problem solved. Go now, and be at peace.
I dunno, just checked, it worked for me.
PS. You need to enter the URL of the article you want to read.
For books, check the internet for free pirated book.
This isn’t meant to be moral. We are talking munchkin here.
I discovered a method to find if you are getting enough sleep, one that seems so trivial in hindsight it’s a wonder how I never thought about it or encountered it before.
Basically, if your alarm clock wakes you up, you are sleep deprived.
P.S. Oh, and I’m new here, so hello everybody.
