@rajlearns sauna'ing only works if your intentions are pure

@hal__hale @wilhelmscreamin Read papers/LessWrong, synthesis research, write blog posts, do small scale experiments, try BlueDot rapid grants if you have a promising idea. Fellowships are overrated. You don't need to ask for permission or wait for someone to tell you what to do.

@eterecursion @akrolsmir I guess my prior is that people don't necessarily do their best most original work while completing their mandatory weekly writing assignments. Though I also worry that there's a lot of group-think and goodharting in "direct work." So, maybe just ignore me and carry on :)

@eterecursion @akrolsmir I wish I had an obvious better 3rd option to point to you at. Though if you find one, I'd probably recommend it.

[Leo @Leoagua1]

@eterecursion @akrolsmir Fair, fair. Just beware too much RLHF/RLVR. It can be bad for your epistemics, whether your mind runs on silicon or wetware.

[Leo @Leoagua1]

@eterecursion @akrolsmir But I also do have short timelines, and find it a bit galling sometimes how much people are still focused on academic brownie points vs actually thinking/working on the problem.

[Leo @Leoagua1]

@eterecursion @akrolsmir Fair I guess. Although, I might have asked the question even if I had long timelines, but that's more related to my perspective on schoolwork in general.

[Leo @Leoagua1]

@eterecursion @akrolsmir Don't you have more important things to do than schoolwork?

@brr2000000 @StefanFSchubert Not sure what the issue is. Thiel was talking about Europe. Stefan cherry-picked an outlier country in Europe, so I cherry-picked an outlier US state.

@quantian1 I don't see how these two questions are related.

[Leo @Leoagua1]

@GregHBurnham I noticed this as well.

@LinchZhang > 1,000 to 4,000

Is there any attempted breakdown of these numbers? Sounds plausible, but curious how these are distributed and who you'd count.

@TheZvi I'll be waiting for the "Summarize with Zvi" option, thank you very much.

@toasterlighting @emicyliss I thought that was for an unnamed Frenchman

[Leo @Leoagua1]

@_CLancellotti @DStrungk That's exactly how you and I are thinking. Each neurons is doing a relatively simple operation and our thinking is just a lot of these operations put together.

@realTomBayes You can probably have Claude write you a chrome extension that does this. Might not leave too many posts though.
