thanks for offering! right now i am thinking ill just use wget to create an archive of gw and/or lw since that would likely be faster than using the api for my use case.
but i am still interested to write code that would generate a lw archive from the lw api. if i end up doing that and if i remember this discussion then ill likely contact you and show you where i put the code so that we could both work on the same codebase if you want.
does greaterwrong.com have archive files that i can download? or do it need to archive it myself (ex:
wget -mk) ?
thanks for answering. who/what is “saturn2” ?
probably some form of web browser: yes.
i’ll most likely read it when i have no internet access on a laptop.
thanks a lot for the answer!
according to this comment it looks like a member of the lw site devs is ok with lw being scraped by gpt.
@gwern : is this something you’d be interested in having?
[Question] Why is lesswrong blocking wget and curl (scrape)?
[Question] Is there a lesswrong archive of all public posts?
2023-12-03 hangout, cryonics and longevity montreal
the event is going to be on the bottom floor
you should change the title of this event which states “ACX Montreal Meetup October 28th 2023” we are not in october
i think that a nice subject of conversation. unfortunately i already booked myself for the day, forgetting there would be an acx event.
4 people attended including me. i’d say it went well but i don’t know the opinion of the other people.
it was very informal: we discussed at which level we were of signing up or not, and what was our next step or cryonics projects we want to work on.

also: how much funding do you think it would take? i’d be interested in sending more money if i knew it would have a marginal impact
someone found this: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/nutrient-deficiencies-cravings https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190524-food-cravings-are-they-a-sign-of-nutritional-deficit
From the first article:
Weight loss studies provide additional arguments against the “nutrient deficiency” theory.
In one weight loss study, participants following a low-carb diet for two years reported much lower cravings for carb-rich foods than those following a low-fat diet.
Similarly, participants put on low-fat diets during the same period reported fewer cravings for high-fat foods (18).
In another study, very low-calorie liquid diets decreased the frequency of cravings overall (19).
If cravings were truly caused by a low intake of certain nutrients, the opposite effect would be expected.
@BionicD0LPH1N : i guess we are still in good old “October 28th” :P
