With an asymmetric cryptographic key you can sign messages to prove that those messages came from the same specific private key. You can then create strong evidence of the identity of the key (that you have the key) by using systems/accounts that are identified to you and that only you have access to share other signed messages that proves that the owner of the account has the private key in question. This is probably more convenient and trusted world wide (some people might not trust authorities of unknown countries but might trust some online systems that are known worldwide) while offering a comparable level of security/trust to my opinion. The traditional channels of law/notary/governments have their benefits too (like physical inspection to match a government provided ID) but it looks like to me that they also have bigger costs (harder to access the data (probably not digitalized or protected from public acces) , higher fees, potentially less recognized worldwide)
how can I get notified when I can buy the ebook?

the other thing to consider is that the internet offers the possibility of less acountability
when meeting in person it is harder to disguise yourself as someone else
also, since there is a big transport cost of frequenting a different place (a different library, coffee shop, etc), causing people not to like you means you are increasing your chances of conflict every future time you will frequent that place
online if you cause someone not to like you in an online space, you can more easily find or create another similar online space where that person is not there, or create a new account and join the same space, or ignore/block them even if they seek conflict, their impact on you might be less: you can’t really physically hurt someone online and disrupting their actions/discussions can be more difficult
Thank you very much to the organizers and everyone that was present! ❤️ I had a nice time and I loved the online platform/system I would not have been able to meet some of the people I met if it weren’t for the online event
iirc there was at least one study that showed that people don’t crave to eat what nutrients they are missing (I am guessing apart from drinking when you are dehydrated but that’s not really a nutrient)
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.
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
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.
i think that a nice subject of conversation. unfortunately i already booked myself for the day, forgetting there would be an acx event.
you should change the title of this event which states “ACX Montreal Meetup October 28th 2023” we are not in october
the event is going to be on the bottom floor
@gwern : is this something you’d be interested in having?
according to this comment it looks like a member of the lw site devs is ok with lw being scraped by gpt.
i’ll most likely read it when i have no internet access on a laptop.
probably some form of web browser: yes.
thanks for answering. who/what is “saturn2” ?
does greaterwrong.com have archive files that i can download? or do it need to archive it myself (ex:
wget -mk
) ?
@BionicD0LPH1N : i guess we are still in good old “October 28th” :P
The idea looks similar to https://www.couchsurfing.com to me.
