nyan_sandwich, you’re really good at delving into the cthonian labyrinths of post-x-rationalist thought, learning something new, and distilling from it an essence potable to merely human minds. It’s to provoke another round of that skill usage that I bring up this tweet:
“Simplicity” refers to a universal prior, not to a coded/compressed language you make out of your past experiences, that’s coding theory.
Any chance of a nyan_sandwich post on the differences between universal priors and optimal codes?

we’ll see. I’d have to develop a thorough understanding and see a need for a post, and decide that writing was a good idea...
