I did not actually directly engage with this post, but I found it fascinating as a concept, and sort of inspiring to see other people working on it.
I’ve thought about it a bit on the meta-level, in terms of what sort of exercises make sense for the LessWrong.
I do think, if there’s a second nomination, it should probably come from someone who actually did the exercise and found it valuable on the object level.
Hmm, upon reflection I’m more on the fence about nominating than I thought. Retracting for now, thinking more.
At least part of my motivation is that, overall, I think the Hammertime sequence was valuable overall – but not necessarily something where any single post was quite nomination-worthy. It seemed useful both for directly writing up a lot of CFAR techniques that weren’t otherwise available online, and for moving LW towards a “community of practice”, where “do exercises” was more woven into the fabric.
But I’m not sure whether this post in isolation makes sense to include – in particular, while the I like Alkjash’s “submission” to his own exercise, it’s not a post that I think holds up as a “best of 2018″ on it’s own.
On the other hand, it might be worth include just the text of the test-description itself.

Dunno.
