Tails come apart. The most successful actresses are not the most attractive women.

The connection is in the deciding whether or not to regularly participate. Said didn’t affect my decision here that much, but I’m way way above average in ability to dismiss criticism that I feel is non central.
Fwiw, my interaction with lw and more broadly the rationalist scene in the Bay area was most of what formed my current stance that communities that I want to participate in operate on white lists, not black lists. This is such a fundamental shift that it affects everything about how I socialize, and made my life much better. Banning someone requiring a post of this effort level predicts that lots and lots of other good things aren’t happening, and that is mostly invisible.
Still finding this post useful. LLM suggested some mnemonics
“Wave” (Words, Assertions, Values, Execution)
“Team” (Terminology, Evidence, Attitudes, Methods)
“Maps” (Meanings, Assertions, Principles, Strategies)
“Salt” (Strategies, Attitudes, Labels, Truth-claims)
“Save” (Strategies, Assumptions, Values, Evidence)
I like the memorability of ‘salt’ as in ‘salty’
I also like mapping these to the four causes to help embed it further
Value-Final
Label-Formal
Facts-Material
Strategy-Efficient
This reminds me of the quip that a lot of white cultures don’t seem to have a signifier for ‘real talk’ and are very hamstrung on going down simulacra levels as a result.
I’d guess first few chapters of The Evolving Self
You are ignoring Kegan’s experimental setup which lead to the clustering in the first place. I recommend putting his books into an LLM and asking questions about how the model was generated.
Thanks for the efforts. Modeling good discourse around complicated subjects is hard and valuable.
Didn’t know about enthymemes, cool concept.
1% chances of wiping all humans makes the current people working on ai worse than genocidal dictators and I dislike the appeasement of so many people trying to stay in good graces with them on the off chance of influencing them anyway. I think their behavior is clearly sociopathic if that term is to have any meaning at all and the only influence anyone has on them is simulated by them for strategic purposes. They are strongly following power gradients.
telling the truth is a skill that parts can get better at. Part of the skill is with the part itself and part is on the listener side to not do any gaslighting or weird avoidant stuff back at the part.
Claude guesses 2-3 calves
Also consider the impact of milk. Directly around 1⁄2 the life of a single cow if you consume dairy over a lifetime. Indirectly the agricultural toll of feeding the cow on additional insects and rodents.
a couple related terms: skill corridor, or competency plateaus, exist when a community both fails to cultivate newbies (creating a skill floor) and brain drain as people above a certain skill ceiling tend to leave as they have better opportunities available.
Very helpful for me. Just noticed the other day that I didn’t know what the use-mention distinction was actually about.
Each habit has its own reward structure. Those with smaller loops are much easier to inculcate. Thinking past the close (alternatively, ignoring semantic, or somatic, stop signs) could have enough reward that it could potentially stick.
3 to 18 months of making something a priority.
A breakthrough is just the beginning of at least 3 months, and upwards of 18 months to solidify the thing IME. It’s difficult for people to make commitments this big.
In Therevada there’s a saying that ‘insights are infinite’ meaning that there is no end to nifty things you can notice about the mind, but most aren’t of durable value.
Nobody would see sad movies if sympathy and empathy were the same thing. Highly sympathetic people avoid those who suffer because they don’t want to experience that. Empathy enables moving towards suffering because compassion is a positive experience.
Are there any papers on current efforts to tokenize video and estimating the size of available data for that?
Reasonable, I don’t know much about the situation
My impression is that so far the kinds of people whose work could be automated aren’t the kind to navigate the complexities of building bespoke harnesses to have llms do useful work. So we have the much slower process of people manually automating others.
