Eliezer,

Could we have an update every 10 days telling us where you are? Makes the waiting much easier, knowing we're getting more.

One like last time with #of words, chapter would be great.

The super awesomeness of HPMOR so far is what makes all the anticipation fun...

Would it be even more awesome if someone set up ~190 predictions on PB.com just for MoR speculation?

Blame not the users for doing what the site was intended to enable. Blame the suckiness of the interface.

Woot! Perhaps a few days more, and then I'll have to take the day off :)

Currently 4,800 words into Ch. 83, the Aftermath (final chapter) of the next story sequence.

Maybe he could even post a puzzle or a hint once in a while :)

That would take effort he could be spending on coming up with in-story puzzles.

But yeah, scheduled progress updates would be spectacular. Even if he hasn't written anything, I'd rather know that than nothing.

Or, you know, trying to save the world.

I'm fairly certain he's doing this in his free time. You can't possibly expect him to write his Rationality Book all day long.
