This date is wrong. It’s on Sunday the 10th (as shown in the post title).
Also, the time format is confusing. Couldn’t we just say 2pm?

It’s been used successfully before, if you’re not making a separate thing that you need a separate term for.
p(hack akrasia|heard of hack and thought it was worth trying) What are the odds of you succumbing to “hack akrasia”, never trying or not consistently applying a hack, given that you’d heard of it and thought it was worth trying?
I suggest we think twice about making the term “hack akrasia” a thing. Once it’s in comments without definition, does a newcomer read it as having akrasia about hacking, or trying to hack akrasia?
It’s fine to have terms people won’t understand if they’ll realize that and look it up, but this one invites oblivious misinterpretation.
Enter 3d10 here, click roll, then get your results here.
I’d generally suggest saying why you rot13 something (if it’s not obvious) before the text rather than after. I tend to ha-ebg guvatf nf V ernq gurz if I can’t think of a reason not to, and suspect I’m not the only one.

Do you ever have feelings of irrational nostalgia for hopelessly obsolete technology?

Did you read the post I linked?
That later edit wasn’t in the comment when I read it. Thanks for adding.
Which ones are not actual properties of the collapse interpretation?
I don’t think Eliezer has suggested they were properties of all possible non-Everett interpretations.
I’m curious about the following...
Would John Cramer’s transactional interpretation require more complexity (at the level of the fundamental laws, rather than the amount of stuff in the universe) than the many worlds interpretation?
Roughly what proportion of the physics community backs it?
Is it a non-differentiable (or even discontinuous) phenomenon?
Is it non-local in the configuration space?
Does it violate CPT symmetry?
Does it violate Liouville’s Theorem (has a many-to-one mapping from initial conditions to outcomes)?
Is it acausal / non-deterministic / inherently random?
Is it non-local in spacetime?
Could it propagate an influence faster than light?
Can it represent a non-linear or non-unitary evolution?
No God-damned puppies were harmed in the making of this comment.
Edit: As pointed out, one of those things is not like the others, so to carve at the joints, let’s call the questions after #2 “the antimagic questions”, and the idea that we should reject the suggested interpretation if we get “yes” answers to them the cuddly collapsing canine conjecture.
No sleep, or anything that would interrupt thinking about it, for a year, might lead to an interesting wish.
I have started to think that ev-psych is way overconfident.
As in about the likelihood of certain kinds of explanations?
I notice that I am meta-confused...
Supposing that all possible universes ‘exist’ with some weighting by simplicity or requirement of uniformity, does not make me feel less fundamentally confused about all this;
Shouldn’t we strongly expect this weighting, by Solomonoff induction?
“She heard Harry sigh, and after that they walked in silence for a while, passing through an archway of some reddish metal like copper, into a corridor that was just like the one they’d left except that it was tiled in pentagons instead of squares.”
“she was trying to count the number of things in the room for the third time and still not getting the same answer, even though her memory insisted that nothing had been added or removed”
I’m curious though, is there anything in there that would even count as this level of logically impossible? Can anyone remember one?
For the sake of humanity, cute kittens, whatever it takes to get past your qualms about this being advertising...
