Two things I saw:
The ‘Fangs for some reason’ column is not needed, because every gray turtle has a fang and no other color has any fang.
There is a lot of turtles (around 5404 more than expected) with the following characteristics: (20.4lb weight, no wrinkles, 6 shell segments, green, normal nostril size, no miscellaneous abnormalities)
My Solution (this might change before the end)::
[23.14, 19.24, 25.98, 21.52, 18.17, 7.40, 31.15, 20.40, 24.0, 20.52]

I love Egan! I will read Luminous next! Thanks!
Yes, but good recommendation otherwise, thank you!
Thank you, I will read this one!
I will read the fiction book that is recommended to me first (and I haven’t already read it)! Time is of the essence! I will read anything, but if you want to recommend me something I am more likely to enjoy, here are a few thing about me: I like Sci-fi, Fantasy, metaethics, computers, games, Computer Science theory, Artificial Intelligence, fitness, D&D, edgy/shock humor.
I enjoyed this, and at times I felt close to grasping green, but now, after reading it, I wouldn’t be able to convey what the part of green which isn’t according to some other color is to someone else. Multiple times in the post you build up something just to demolish it a few paragraphs later which makes the bottom line hard to remember for me, so a green for dummies version would be nice.
Example of solarpunk aesthetic (to be clear: I think the best futures are way more future-y than this)
I like the picture. Obviously, the pictured scene would be simulated on some big server cluster, but nice aesthetics, I wouldn’t require a more future-y one.
I’m surprised people are taking you seriously.
If you’re reading comments under the post, that obviously selects for people who take him seriously, similarly to how if you clicked through a banner advertising to increase one’s penis by X inches, you would mostly find people who took the ad more seriously than you’d expect.
I put ~5% on the part I selected, but there is no 5% emoji, so I thought I will mention this using a short comment.
Because when you lose weight you lose a mix of fat and muscle, but when you gain weight you gain mostly fat if you don’t exercise (and people usually don’t because they think it’s optional) resulting in a greater bodyfat percentage (which is actually the relevant metric for health, not weight)
I also thought that it was very common. I would say it’s necessary for competition math.
ah I see. yes, that is possible, though that makes the main character much less relatable
I think the main character’s desire to punish the AIs stemmed from his self-hatred instead. How would you explain this part otherwise?
And if sometimes in their weary, resentful faces I recognize a mirror of my own expression—well, what of it?
So I’ve reached a point in my amateur bodybuilding process where I am satisfied with my arms. I, of course, regularly see and talk with guys who have better physiques, but it doesn’t bother me, when I look in the mirror, I’m still happy.
This, apparently, is not the typical experience. In the bodybuilding noosphere, there are many memes born from the opposite experience: “The day you start lifting is the day you’re never big enough.”, “You will never be as big as your pump.”, etc..
My question is about a meme I’ve seen recenty which DOES mirror my own experience, but unfortunately I can’t find it. IIRC the meme had similar art style to cyanide and happiness (or maybe smbc). It depicted a person who after getting an initial progress in bodybuilding talked with a much more advanced bodybuilder who tried to advise him how to continue building even more muscle. The new guy’s answer was something along the lines of “thanks, but i’m okay with my current results” and the last panel depicted the buff guy wistfully watching the sunset alone.
Can someone maybe help me find the meme? Any help is appreciated!
I love how it admits it has no idea how come it gets better if it retains no memories
What about Outer Wilds? It’s not strictly a puzzle game, but I think it might go well with this exercise. Also, what games would you recommend for this to someone who has already played every available level in Baba Is You?
Or Understand for 4 EUR which has a highly upvoted lesswrong post recommending it.
It’s a pity we don’t know the karma scores of their comments before this post was published. For what it’s worth, I only see two of his comments with negative karma this and this. The first one among these two is the one recent comment of Roko I strong-downvoted (though also strong agree-voted), but I might not have done that if I knew that only a few comments with a few negative karma is enough to silence someone.
Please do so in a post, I subscribed to those
