1001 PredictionBook Nights

gwern

I explain what I've learned from creating and judging thousands of predictions on personal and real-world matters: the challenges of maintenance, the limitations of prediction markets, the interesting applications to my other essays, skepticism about pundits and unreflective persons' opinions, my own biases like optimism & planning fallacy, 3 very useful heuristics/approaches, and the costs of these activities in general.

Plus an extremely geeky parody of Fate/Stay Night.

The link under fee changes does not work.

Otherwise this seems like an interesting summary. I've been thinking of making a similar post with my experience on PredictionBook, but you've been a lot more systematic about your predictions.

Many of the links in the OP that are supposed to go to gwern.net instead go to non-existent pages on lesswrong.com.
