I was invited to be interviewed on Monero Talk and it’s just been released. Monero Talk is a podcast on, well… Monero the actually private cryptocurrency, which I’ve written and done videos on in the past.

probably similar to solomonoff, just in the number of variables, and without the computability aspect (since we know that prop-formulas can be evaluated in exponential time)
Surely people have thought about this, but is it so useful to include proofs in textbooks?

They pick a diamond card and announce it, and you tell them to check underneath their chair to reveal a slip of paper that says, “You will pick a diamond card.”

The Problems with Utilitarianism
I originally wrote this essay in 2014 or 2015 in a Chinese buffet in Athens, Georgia. I’ve changed some of it and am re-adding it here. I talk about the issues with Utilitarianism and a bad book by Sam Harris.

much lower than we’d expect from naively extrapolating just to the increased lifespan.
discount rates seem to spring mostly from being sure of ones own death. beings without aging would have extremely low discount rates, I think?
major difference between updating on evidence vs. morals: we know that a bayesian is converging (monotonically?) towards truth with each piece of evidence, while with moral progress, it seems likely that we are not bounded in how wrong our updates can be (even if we grant that the arc bends towards justice in the end). we might need to escape moral local maxima. therefore, it seems good to preserve option value.
