• This AI-generated quote would make our author proud

  I did not make this, unfortunately, and it is sad as an amateur high-concept author (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc) that an AI can outwit me. I don't have confirmation but I would bet he used his custom "Loom" interface to GPT-3 to refine the story - I have seen many interesting things, so don't take it lightly when I say that it is one of the most interesting things I've seen in my life. But the prompt is the start of the... Source: over 1 year ago

• Have you read anything since hpmor that you enjoyed as much as hpmor or more?

  Rationality: From AI to Zombies by Eliezer Yudkowsky: The edited version of The Sequences, which are the founding text of rationalism. In them, Eliezer teaches you how to think almost from first principles, starting from the very concept of truth and through to reductionism, mental biases, evolutionary psychology, and the rest.

• What should I read from LessWrong to be sure I’m not missing out?

  An abridged and slightly edited compilation of them was also released in a book form. It's a fine selection, but unfortunately it doesn't include comments, where plenty of good discussion happened. So I read the posts in the book's order, then looked at the comments. Source: about 2 years ago

• Thoughts.

  Adding to what the other comments are saying about checking out sequels like Significant Digits, I suggest checking out the author's non-fiction work, which goes deep into the ideas he explores in HPMOR and many more. Here's a curated compilation, or here if you'd rather download the entire thing. Source: over 2 years ago

• If you could send a book back to the year 1900, what would it be, and why?

  Eliezer Yudkowsky's Rationality: From AI to Zombies argues that the current favorable Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics is favored solely because it was discovered first. If the Wheeler, Many Worlds interpretation had been discovered first it would have been the obvious choice. Source: over 2 years ago

• Bought my first laptop for my education after years of being homeless, hope I invested my money right.

  CS is computer science. Also check out edx.com It is hosted by Harvard and if you pay for the course which is very little you get a certificate from them. There is also groupings of courses were you can get a business certificate. Also check out udemy.com. Wait for the specials for $10-15. I have heard that google has certificates that are free but that businesses except. Just try stuff and even look at skills... Source: 10 months ago

• Rant - Anyone else having trouble finding a job?

  Core coding and IT skills are a must though. Pick a language you followed and liked at Uni, check there is decent job demand for it, and do a udemy.com course on it (great value, great content, very cheap). Pair this with a major cloud (Azure or AWS) qualification which is pretty much a must these days, and you're much more attractive as an applicant. Source: 10 months ago

• Tech careers that won’t be taken over by AI?

  Prompting is so new I don't think a degree is offered yet, but Microsoft has some accredited classes (FREE) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/ and you can get a certificate on AI and chatGPT from https://udemy.com , I got a few from them :). Source: 10 months ago

• Failed my Salesforce Admin today

  I am studying Salesforce administrator fundamentals at udemy.com. I am taking this course where the instructor provides a checklist of all the topics/subjects you will see in the test. For example, according to the instructor, who passed his administrator certification on his first try, teach the specific concepts you will see in the test. I think that there are 133 features/concepts. So, the first video is about... Source: 10 months ago

• Cheap/free language lessons

  If you're prepared to do self-study, take a look at the udemy.com learning site. I paid somewhere in the region of £15 (they retail for around £60-70 in general but always come on sale at some point) for a number of courses (incl. languages). The courses are rated by students and I haven't yet been let down. Source: 10 months ago
