I don’t mind it being the death stick, but for some reason resurrection stone seemed to be quite possible to me when I read it last night. I cant wait to see what happens nonetheless :)
I like rot13-ing my predictions, but if its bothering you I apologize.
i know were all buzzing about this new chapter, but I found a gem in our newly placed 76 with this “”Grindelwald possessed an ancient and terrible device,” said Dumbledore. “While he held it, I could not break his defense. In our duel I could not win, only fight him for long hours until he fell in exhaustion; and I would have died of it afterward, if not for Fawkes. But while his Muggle allies yet made blood sacrifice to sustain him, Grindelwald would not have fallen. He was, during that time, truly invincible. Of that grim device which Grindelwald held, none must know, none must suspect, there must be not a single hint. And therefore you must not speak of it, and I will say no more for now. That is all, Harry. There is no moral to it, and no wisdom. That is all there is.”″ Definitely Gur erfheerpgvba fgbar and we know this is probably not canonical.

Can’t believe were hitting the trial subgenre though, keep up the good work eleizer.
Nope :(

To quickly sum up Newcomb’s problem, Its a question of probability where choosing the more “rational” thing to do will result in a great deal less currency to a traditional probability based decision theory. TDT takes steps to avoid getting stuck 2 boxing, or choosing the more rational of the two choices while applying in the vast majority of other situations.
I believe that as thoughtful citizens of a future trans-humanist republic The Gift We Give To Tomorrow is our pursuit of a world that can never have an event fundamentally worse than a tragedy because of the way it has been structured. Then again… structuring that universe correctly is almost as scary as having the world undergo a fundamental change.
That being said, I love this post series and wish I lived in New York for the event itself ^^
I also support vaporization, which uses a much faster method than tincture but its just as safe and more efficient than the rest.
So sad when science is failed by its warriors :(
You can integrate it with initial conditions though and just like we can use our prefrontal cortex to predict the probable initial conditions of events(albeit inaccurately occasionally), a powerful computer may be able to predict our complex mental pathways based on known past events with high fidelity. I’m not saying that you wont need the initial conditions to integrate the function, I just think AGI would have less trouble with it than you assume. I think you have a good point about the principle though and I will take informative decay into my perceived utility of cryonics in the future.
What if humanity is not secure? I hope this movie is as good as it could be.
The main heuristics I feel activate when I read this are
Good feeling that this article will inspire people to work on an important problem, because I will send it around.
Good feeling that this article will help people who do not get inspired easily to just get started and avoid Akrasia.
Both of which come often from Eliezer’s articles often, but the main thing that jumped out at me was the seamless interweave of different parts of history (Edison/Polymath) to draw conclusions about needed future action. Which we see very often in the sequences especially when past scientists are used as examples.
I share that impression :) Plus its very fun to think about Everett branches and accusal trade when I pretend we would have a chance against a truly Strong AI in a box.
We just learned that neutrinos might be accelerated faster that light in certain circumstances, while this result doesn’t give me too much pause, It certainly made me think about the possible practical consequences of successfully understanding quantum mechanics.
Ditto :) but I intend to reproduce eventually in maximum useful volume.
How do you know that in the future we wont be able to use advanced computer modeling to predict many parts of a brains and bodies function based on what we have frozen and correct it with advanced nanotechnology?
I love California for its liberalism, scenery, cities and weather. I love Oklahoma for the opposite reasons but the grass does not seem greener to me :) I have traveled to Europe and Alaska on cruises and each time I had a ton of fun but I would love to travel to the Far East. I thought Hawaii was close to paradise but I don’t know if i’ll ever get to live there full time.
This, I greatly appreciate the “trick my mind into thinking its reading Eliezer” tone of luke’s writing.
If you have any more zingers like that please use them before the story is over. I don’t think my heart will be able to handle the combined laughter.
On this forum we tend to want Eliezer to get back to work sometime before 2049 and so we cant have an endless saga of 7 fan-fictions in sequence culminating with a double movie ;)
