Kinda awkward to say aloud. I think Institute for the Research of Machine Intelligence would sound better. Minor nitpick.
IRMI?
irm-y? Sounds like squirm. Or the name Erma.

Thoughts on the January CFAR workshop
Offering everyone modafinil or something at the beginning of future workshops might help with this.
It would help, but would inevitably offend people and not at all worth the consequences.

Morality is Awesome
I like the word awesome a lot, but as a particular useful word in English have noticed it becoming very overused of late.
Awesome decomposes to full of awe, or inspiring of awe. Wondersome, full of wonder or inspiring of wonder, seems like it would be similarly useful.
Can anyone coin relevant neologisms?
What would the response to this have been if instead of "censorship policy" the phrase would have been "community standard"?
Well, I've finished ~2 months of data. The Zeo sleep stats say that there is a major negative effect, so I'm going to chalk up potassium as a failed experiment for me:
I also replied on Reddit... but I'm wondering if co-administering magnesium would fix this. Or test if Concentrace (http://www.amazon.com/Trace-Minerals-Concentrace-Mineral-Drops-Glass/dp/B004AC07G6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1356074954&sr=8-2&keywords=concentrace), mostly my favorite commercial supplement and a highly bioabsorbable magnesium, improves sleep quality.

2012 Winter Fundraiser for the Singularity Institute
I've just donated 500 Canadian dollars to the Singularity Institute (at the moment, 1 Canadian dollar = 1.01 US dollar).

I can't argue with that!

Do we get some kind of reasonable guarantee that there won't in the future be an even better matching offer (say a tripling of our impact), or is the idea here that the value of an SIAI donation is heavily time discounted?
Given that historically SI has completed all matching drives to 100%, I wouldn't even recommend waiting for a 2x match to donate.

My impression is that anyone who has ever heard of Singularity University doesn't even have it in their hypothesis space that you mean something different when you say Singularity Institute.
Yup.
Even when they do have it in their hypothesis space, it still gets mangled. I recently got a follow-up email from someone that still thought I was Singularity University. I had briefly explained to him about how SU had acquired the Singularity Summit from us, and his follow-up email said "now that you have acquired the Singularity Summit, you may be interested in my product..."
