Earlier you said that Solomonoff induction is enough to beat any computable human, even if the universe is uncomputable. What made you change your mind?

Has he changed his mind? What I see here is an indication that you can extend Solomonoff induction to have uncomputable possibilities in your prior, but how does that imply that a computable human can do better than Solomonoff induction?
