I'm not usually one to share my lurid music tastes, but the new LessWrong collab album slaps

A whole team effort, LW just launched a new page for viewing the winning posts of our community annual review process. Humorously titled "The LeastWrong", all the winning posts get some gorgeous art, and a cool interface for exploring them. https://t.co/KQoM7saQJm

Just dropped a new feature. "Debates"

@ReidGower Thanks! Some time this year, we should definitely do that...

@tacchinotacchi @ESYudkowsky The immigration problem does indeed suck. Note that I don't think it's entirely impossible to get around the problem of not having a technical visa (e.g. the O1 visa). We'd definitely be up for Trying Hard to solve this for someone we really wanted to work with. —Ben

LessWrong is hiring devs and generalists! $150-300k

Why join? There’s a community of thinkers trying to save civilization. Think of it as a “distributed computation” trying to figure out what’s true. Our goal is to make the computation better

@henryaj And I also don't know how to build a strong and spontaneous creative relationship with someone primarily over Zoom. I could try but it doesn't seem worth the risk to me, as I expect it wouldn't work. —Ben

[LessWrong @lesswrong]

@henryaj I don't really know how to work with someone on building an in-person campus (with office rooms and housing and so on) with someone who isn't here. Interviewing our users here and solving problems for them requires being here. —Ben

[LessWrong @lesswrong]

Again, we’re hiring. Devs and world-class generalists, $150-300k/year, Berkeley. We're a 501c3.

Oh, we figured it was a bit confusing to lump all our activities under the "LessWrong" brand, so we've organized as "Lightcone Infrastructure". LessWrong continues as one (but only one) major project.

@EricHerboso @EAForumPosts It's true! This year for Petrov, LessWrong and the EA Forum have nukes pointed at each. Two forums, two buttons, and hopefully two sets of trustworthy users with launch codes.
