Thanks, when I checked out your link it wasn't open for guests and now I'm happy it is. I can see how can be terribly helpful using complice full stack, but even as guest, it is still pretty functional and nice. Well done ;)

This week, my therapist and I talked about the nature and subtleties of my major forms of akrasia, and have begun the conversation that I hope will help me change or break them. After years of trying to deal with these problems by myself, it's oddly freeing to be beholden to someone else and also to have someone who is committed but not emotionally bound to me and my success.

My focus this week is to think of possible mantras that I could use to stay on task and begin (if not complete) tasks I know I need to do but I don't want to do. Lots of rereading of the anti-akrasia threads here.

Done :)

EDIT: and +1 to everyone. It took me more doing that than the survey :|

The last week or two I've done more programming than I've done probably over several preceding years put together, on an HTML5 game. It's sort of a tycoon style game mainly about machine learning and intelligence amplification on a highly abstracted level, and will connect heavily to singularity themes and likely have many LW-culture references/Easter eggs.

Unfortunately, the app is in extremely alpha stages, running locally, and I doubt I'll prioritize it over other projects.

Just release it as what it is now. Pretty please.

Upvote, valuable insight. And meta thinking is switching from Tiger style to Crane style as the situation warrants. Good idea to have a set of modules ready to go.

Yeah, but the weak point is how to realize that a model switching is needed in that very moment.

I don't see how that's any different from all the other age groups ;-).

We are out of it, so we can bitch about ;-).

What happened to the intent of this post? Do you still need proofreaders? Count me in, in that case.

I've had more flashes of awareness, seeing myself running mechanical patterns during times I normally wouldn't have noticed them. Briefly, here and there. I've been sometimes able to radically course correct and do something entirely different. Othertimes, I try and fail to do something different.

Has happened to me different times and I tried to achive that presence of mind more consistently. Obviously, that it's not even far easy: my current approach is to use this approach and my results are inconsistent. But I'm keeping track on those moments, maybe I'll get some results in the long run.

I have converted the book to epub and mobi. Download link: http://www.filedropper.com/3worlds

I haven't started reading it yet so let me know if you find any problems with the conversion.

Enjoy!
