Here are some more problems that have come up on LW:

What is the right probability/decision theory for running on error-prone hardware?
What is my utility function?
Meta-philosophy
How to think about “all mathematical structures” when no formal language is sufficiently expressive?
What is the nature of anticipation/surprise/disappointment/good and bad news? (For example, surprise wouldn't be a cognitive feature of an ideal utility maximizer. What purpose, if any, does it serve in us?)
