I like letting go completely, but I have tricks in case I need to use them in dire scenarios. For instance my friend henri was thought looping quite badly a couple of weeks ago. I was able to get him on a bike and moving and calmed him down almost immediately due to his large muscle memory in that regard. Role play control is just a fancy way of getting someone into a familiar role while they are in an unfamiliar mental state to help them relax and let go. I have trip sat many times sober and many times while tripping on low doses and each time I have found it easier to help people with overly intense experiences using that technique. The last time I completely let go on a trip I was on ~5g of mushies and I thought I was having a heart attack at one point but it was quite enlightening and I experienced ego-loss like never before. I can definitely support the mindset of ensuring a good set in setting I just also accept the occasional need for dealing with people tripping too hard to be quiet.
Basically... You dont need someone you trust until you start doubting yourself and losing control. Role-playing is just a technique of letting your body play a role instead of losing that control. Thanks for the response :)
You two are so cute when your argue!!!
What tricks do you use to control yourself while tripping when you dont have people you trust to help you? I have a inkling that the reason I have a harder time teaching role play control to girls is somewhat to do with gender roles but insofar I've failed at deducing why.
This made me 100x happier about our first interaction at the Irvine meetup with Yvain and co... Fanfiction chatting cooler than all other types of chattery :)
I just felt like the speed of my answer should still be of some benefit, and I wasn't aware that you had gained the knowledge of its existence in the month hence your previous comment.

She is however under the influence of equivalently dark arts.
Well its supposed to be quite rationalist and quite awesome. Im only about 12-15 chapters in and my brothers Fallout :equestria boardgame already fascinates me
It wasnt bad Eneasz. Honestly, I will try to sing it some day and it will be way worse than yours but less awkward because I am not making the coolest thing ever for the rest of the interwebz trust me xD anyway tell Hermione shes AWESOME for me.
I like it
Have you guys heard of Fallout:Equestria?
Can't their be good humans who don't create paperclips and just destroy antipaperclips and staples and such?
SPACE!
META MAN! willnewsomecuresmetaproblemsasfastashecan META MAN!
This was my main concern when thinking of getting one :(
Cocaine seems to avoid much of these problems when used as a local anesthetic but its also hard to acquire in pure form in the US
I was quoting the article, he did say that it was inflammatory to call it that and I didn't mean to use it as a semantic buzzword :)
EY should start a webshow called day in the life of EY which is just a webcam attached to his head so we can know more about his personal life than he already shares with us xD
And you say hes the cute one xD
If its an alien intelligence and doesn't have a global association table like Starmap-AI we are already doomed.
I'm glad that you like it! I feel the same way about it and its enactiopure cousin r-modafinill which doesn't have much of an uncomfortable body high even in higher doses like 300mg.
Your prospective AI plans for programmer-understandability seems very close to Starmap-AI by which I mean
The best story I've read about a not so failed utopia involves this kind of accountability over the FAI. While I hate to generalize from fictional evidence it definitely seems like a necessary step to not becoming a galaxy that tiles over the aliens with happy faces instead of just freezing them in place to prevent human harm.
I never have before but this CPA Audit seemed like a logical thing that would encourage my wealthy parents to donate :)
Keep Trying!
more people have died from cryocrastinating than cryonics ;)
I think our values our positively maximized by delaying the HPMOR finale as long as possible, my post was more out of curiosity to see what would be most helpful to Eliezer.
Melatonin has a U shaped dose-response curve. I have found that lower doses will always work better until below 1mg with no tolerance.
My advice is try a safer stimulant like modafinil. Mymodafinil.com is a good souce that will also help you try the enactiopure version which has been know to produce less body high like effects you described above.
If I earmark my donations for "HPMOR Finale or CPA Audit whichever comes first" would that act as positive or negative pressure towards Eliezer's fiction creation complex? (I only ask because bugging him for an update has been previously suggested to reduce update speed)
Furthermore. Oracle AI/Nanny AI seem to both fail the heuristic of "other country is about to beat us in a war, should we remove the safety programming" that I use quite often with nearly everyone I debate AI about from outside the LW community. Thank you both for writing such concise yet detailed responses that helped me understand the problem areas of Tool AI better.
I will read it and get back to you.
PHOENIXS FATE, was something I don't think Rowling's Dumbledore could have done but up until Dumbledore lost the idiot ball in recent chapters I fully agree with you :)
All this rationality organizing talk has to have some misquotes :(
Swimmers account?....
Robin in Quirrell is apparent at times but Quirrell still seems quite Eliezer based to me :)
In a world where innocents are dying, where evil is winning and good people live in fear for their loved ones, one man had the courage to do what must be done. Aberforth Dumbledore is Narcissa's Immolator.
I like this possibility, it furthermore postulates that Albus was confused for Aberforth which is very likely IMO.
Time Braid is what Chunin Exam Day could have been without a Harem and with a more convincing polyamorous shipping. Its a much better and less drawn out story, for instance there are many other complete AU remakes that go as long and as deeply as HPMOR. However, HPMOR doesn't have the vast amount of fluff and filler that many of the 6/7 multipart fics seem to have(barring SA which I enjoyed greatly).
Double upvote for Zingers ^^
Look all I know is that when Harry gets killed by Voldemort in canon nothing was as it seemed. I assume the next chapter will be nearly as suspenseful despite the trial resolution if Eliezer has anything to say about it.
safe the world. ;)
If you have any more zingers like that please use them before the story is over. I don't think my heart will be able to handle the combined laughter.
On this forum we tend to want Eliezer to get back to work sometime before 2049 and so we cant have an endless saga of 7 fan-fictions in sequence culminating with a double movie ;)
All I got from this is HarryMoRt*
I don't mind it being the death stick, but for some reason resurrection stone seemed to be quite possible to me when I read it last night. I cant wait to see what happens nonetheless :)
I like rot13-ing my predictions, but if its bothering you I apologize.
i know were all buzzing about this new chapter, but I found a gem in our newly placed 76 with this ""Grindelwald possessed an ancient and terrible device," said Dumbledore. "While he held it, I could not break his defense. In our duel I could not win, only fight him for long hours until he fell in exhaustion; and I would have died of it afterward, if not for Fawkes. But while his Muggle allies yet made blood sacrifice to sustain him, Grindelwald would not have fallen. He was, during that time, truly invincible. Of that grim device which Grindelwald held, none must know, none must suspect, there must be not a single hint. And therefore you must not speak of it, and I will say no more for now. That is all, Harry. There is no moral to it, and no wisdom. That is all there is."" Definitely Gur erfheerpgvba fgbar and we know this is probably not canonical.

Nope :(
To quickly sum up Newcomb's problem, Its a question of probability where choosing the more "rational" thing to do will result in a great deal less currency to a traditional probability based decision theory. TDT takes steps to avoid getting stuck 2 boxing, or choosing the more rational of the two choices while applying in the vast majority of other situations.
I believe that as thoughtful citizens of a future trans-humanist republic The Gift We Give To Tomorrow is our pursuit of a world that can never have an event fundamentally worse than a tragedy because of the way it has been structured. Then again... structuring that universe correctly is almost as scary as having the world undergo a fundamental change.
That being said, I love this post series and wish I lived in New York for the event itself ^^
I also support vaporization, which uses a much faster method than tincture but its just as safe and more efficient than the rest.
So sad when science is failed by its warriors :(
You can integrate it with initial conditions though and just like we can use our prefrontal cortex to predict the probable initial conditions of events(albeit inaccurately occasionally), a powerful computer may be able to predict our complex mental pathways based on known past events with high fidelity. I'm not saying that you wont need the initial conditions to integrate the function, I just think AGI would have less trouble with it than you assume. I think you have a good point about the principle though and I will take informative decay into my perceived utility of cryonics in the future.
