[Question] Why is lesswrong blocking wget and curl (scrape)?
[Question] Can I archive content from lesswrong.com on the wayback machine (internet archive, archive.org) ?
[Question] How long does it takes to read the sequences?
[Question] Is there a lesswrong archive of all public posts?
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.
you should change the title of this event which states “ACX Montreal Meetup October 28th 2023” we are not in october
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
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)
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)
thanks for answering. who/what is “saturn2” ?
according to this comment it looks like a member of the lw site devs is ok with lw being scraped by gpt.
i think that a nice subject of conversation. unfortunately i already booked myself for the day, forgetting there would be an acx event.
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

@BionicD0LPH1N : i guess we are still in good old “October 28th” :P
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.
how can I get notified when I can buy the ebook?
i arrived early, i put up a small makeshift sign saying “cryonics” on the table in front of my laptop.
i am sitting down at a table near the entrance. i put up a small makeshift sign saying “cryonics” on the table. (like last time)
i filled out 80% of the survey
