I was confused seeing this here before I saw your comment. The date of posting here is two years after the original, so I guessed there was some reason why Eliezer had chosen to cross-post this article in particular. It would have been lower priority to read if I had seen your comment first.
Yeah. I wanted the post to get its day in the light of the frontpage, for comments and voting, but wanted it to be clear that it wasn’t new, so I just wrote ‘Repost’ in the title. Open to alternative suggestions.
It doesn’t cost much, but a year from now it also probably won’t help much either, and it does make lists of posts a little harder to scan if they have [meta] info at the front of the title.
(I do think keeping ‘First posted on Steemit on July 30, 2016.’ at the top will still make sense, but a person browsing LessWrong probably won’t really care when it was first posted by that point)
I’m pro you not deleting this comment.

Good solution IMO, and I would recommend keeping the “Repost” in the title. It doesn’t cost much.
