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)

this post made me understand something i did not understand before that seems very important. important enough that it made me reconsider a bunch of related beliefs about ai.
to help you find me: i have a long beard, am wearing a black t-shirt, and using my laptop.
i filled out 80% of the survey
the meetup will be on the 2nd floor, on the north side of the working area, close to "Balcon Montigny". i am wearing a grey t-shirt with jeans, and am sitting on the grey sofa.
@BionicD0LPH1N : i guess we are still in good old "October 28th" :P
thanks for offering! right now i am thinking ill just use wget to create an archive of gw and/or lw since that would likely be faster than using the api for my use case.
but i am still interested to write code that would generate a lw archive from the lw api. if i end up doing that and if i remember this discussion then ill likely contact you and show you where i put the code so that we could both work on the same codebase if you want.
does greaterwrong.com have archive files that i can download? or do it need to archive it myself (ex: wget -mk) ?
thanks for answering. who/what is "saturn2" ?
probably some form of web browser: yes.
i'll most likely read it when i have no internet access on a laptop.
thanks a lot for the answer!
according to this comment it looks like a member of the lw site devs is ok with lw being scraped by gpt.
@gwern : is this something you'd be interested in having?
the event is going to be on the bottom floor
you should change the title of this event which states "ACX Montreal Meetup October 28th 2023" we are not in october
i think that a nice subject of conversation. unfortunately i already booked myself for the day, forgetting there would be an acx event.
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.
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
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.
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)
dating on dating apps (I think) men sends messages or tries to match with as many people as possible to increase their chances of talking to someone. women receives a lot of messages/potential matches so they get more selective. which in turns creates less matches per message sent for men, which reacts by sending more messages
this is from what I read and from my experience and experience of people I talked to. also, it looks like there is still a big heterosexual dynamics in this case (this might not apply to all dating apps but I guess it must apply to the big ones). I stayed a big vague in the description since I have seen different reasons for every of those points (that are not necessarily contradicting each other though: they could be additive)
anoter big point is that people who got voted and benefited from first past the post have incentive not to change it
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
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

how can I get notified when I can buy the ebook?
you should include a link to https://originstamp.org/
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)
The idea looks similar to https://www.couchsurfing.com to me.
