This is a very interesting topic to me- but unfortunately I think I’m finding the example topic to be a barrier. I don’t enough about math or transformers for the examples to make real sense to me and connect to the abstracted idea of how to make effective flashcards to build intuition.

That sounds like a pretty good basic method- I do have some (minimal) programming experience, but I didn’t use it for D&D Sci, I literally just opened the data in Excel and tried looking at it and manipulating it that way. I don’t know where I would start as far as using code to try and synthesize info from the dataset. I’ll definitely look into what other people did though.
[Question] How do I get better at D&D Sci?
These are my favorite kinds of posts. Subject expert gives full explanation of optimal resources and methods they used to get where they are.
I watched this video and this is what I bought maximizing for cost/effectiveness, rate my stack:
I’ve been experimenting a little bit using AI to create personalized music, and I feel like it’s pretty impactful with me. I’m able to keep ideas floating around my unconscious, very interesting, feels like untapped territory.
I’m imagining making an entire soundtrack for my life organized around the values I hold, the personal experiences I find primary, and who I want to become. I think I need to get better at generating AI music though. I’ve been using Suno, but maybe I need to learn Udio. I was really impressed with what I was able to get out of Suno and for some reason it sounded better to me than Udio even though the quality is obviously inferior in some respects.

I’m always interested in easy QoL improvements- but I have questions.
Water quality can have surprisingly high impact on QoL
What’s the evidence for this particularly?
What are the important parts of water quality and how do we know this?
Short Post: Discerning Truth from Trash
Biggest update for me was the FBI throwing their weight behind it being a lab-leak.
These sound super interesting- could you expand on any of them or direct me to your favorite resources to help?
That’s an interesting idea! I think it’s really cool when things come easily, but I know it’s not going to generally be the case- I’m probably going to have to put some work in.
My priority is more on the ‘high-utility’ part than anything.
Something that seems like it should be easy but is actually difficult for me is executive functioning- getting myself to do things that I don’t want to do. But that’s more of a personal/mental health thing than anything.
Thanks for the response! Do you have any recommended resources for learning about 3d sketching, optics, signal processing or abstract algebra?
[Question] What subjects are unexpectedly high-utility?
Could someone open a manifold market on the relevant questions here so I could get a better sense of the probabilities involved? Unfortunately, I don’t know the relevant questions or the have the requisite mana.
Personal note- the first time I came into contact with adult gene editing was the youtuber Thought Emporium curing his lactose intolerance, and I was always massively impressed with that and very disappointed the treatment didn’t reach market.
I really relate to your description of inattentive ADHD and the associated degradation of life. Have you found anything to help with that?
What would you mean by ‘stays at human level?’ I assume this isn’t going to be any kind of self-modifying?
What does it mean for an AI to ‘become self aware?’ What does that actually look like?
Is there reason to believe 1000 Einsteins in a box is possible?
Lol just the last few days I was running through Leetcode’s SQL 50 problems to refresh myself. They’re some good, fun puzzles.
I’ll look into R and basic statistical methods as well.
