I tried Nonlinear Library awhile ago but had trouble finding my groove with it. I recall finding it cumbersome to search for episodes/posts. Is there a good way to do that?
It’s good to know the episodes are available soon after a post comes out. That was another doubt I had about Nonlinear, not knowing if the post I wanted would be on there yet. Do you know about how long after a post is published it takes it to appear on Nonlinear?
I agree. It’s not easy to search for specific episodes on the Nonlinear library. I open it in something like Google podcasts and then search in page for keywords. It is cumbersome as you said. They did mention in their original announcement post that the to-do goals are 1. Creating a compilation of top-of-all-time posts for all 3 forums, 2. Creating forum-specific feed, and 3. Creating tags and a searchable archive.
Since they’ve done the first two, I hope it’s not long before they add the tags functionality.
For Nonlinear, there’s a threshold too:
The current upvote thresholds for which articles are converted are: 25 for the EA forum 30 for LessWrong
I think that due to the volume of posts on LW, The curated podcast would have something similar.
