Long-time Rationalist from the East Coast / Atlanta, moved to the Bay Area in 2020.
Looking forward to meeting more rats, eas, and people that generally care about doing good, being kind, and making the world a better place.
Ignore the rumors floating around about me unless you’ve met me in person, is my request :)
> As someone who knows you IRL, I was somewhat hoping that you could put this behind you man :/
If you know me IRL, then shame on you for not asking me specific questions about what happened.
Did you track and record the location of the home of people who did not explicitly give that information to you?
No, I did not.
This is at least partially traced to informing Duncan that you had found his physical address and performed a background check
As I do with most people that I might want to be friends with, because I care about my own safety and that of the people I have over. Not stalking. Are you aware I don’t actually know exactly where he lives?
The “binary search to find a friend’s address”—this is a friend who has given me their address before, whom I have been to their hosue before many times, and whom I know their parents.
In fact, this isn’t even their house. They live with their parents. This was just the quickest way to re-find the address that I, unfortunately, didn’t save like I should have. You don’t have enough context to make the stalking claim, because you don’t know me.
Are you aware that I discussed the gift to Duncan and his daughter with Duncan’s husband?
Are you aware that this was received well?
Are you aware that this was planned well before our interactions went sour?
That is not lovebombing in the slightest.
Access fixed—anyone with the link should now be able to both see comments & comment, too. Thanks for informing me.
Negative 46 karma/points/whatever it’s called on this post.
What’s up with that?
I won’t be attending as I (Caleb Ditchfield) have apparently been banned from the Lighthaven campus.
Still awaiting a response to my email as to why; hosting my own in the meantime at my house.
Could you define what you mean here by counterfactual impact?
My knowledge of the word counterfactual comes mainly from the blockchain world, where we use it in the form of “a person could do x at any time, and we wouldn’t be able to stop them, therefore x is counterfactually already true or has counterfactually already occured”
Please excuse my lack of knowledge here, but if we know all of the vectors for the tokens in the cl100k_base model, why can’t we then create the embedding matrix? Is the embedding matrix not simply all of these rows?
So, I’ve been a user for awhile now, but entirely lurk and don’t comment. Only recently actually made an account to vote on things .
...therefore, I have no comment karma. Thoughts on this case? I regularly vote on things normally (now that I have an account), but now that I don’t have any karma, I suppose this is my first comment, partially in purpose to get a single karma, but also to raise the case that there are probably many others like me. Maybe make this contingent on account age as well?

Overall karma indicates overall quality.

Agreement karma indicates agreement, separate from overall quality.
Indeed. Actions like not giving me a single chance to explain context, shutting me out from entire communities based off of rumor, and not actually investigating what happened.
They do leave scars on communities. As they should.
