Hello!

I'm a mathematician and working as a programmer in Berlin, Germany. I read HPMOR after following a recommendation in a talk on Cognitive Psychology For Hackers and proceeded to read most of the sequences.

Reading LW has had several practical consequences for me: Spaced repetition is awesome for memorizing things I value. Efficient charity has lead to me giving more and being more confident about it actually having positive effects. I read a book on small talk and try to practice. I stopped using cheap multivitamin supplements and currently only take vitamin D. My spare time is mostly used to care for my daughter these days - I got some modafinil and am experimenting with getting extra time this way.

I'm also part of a small Berlin LW meetup: spuckblase and me have met twice - and now we got contacted by two other Berlin based lurkers which prompted the creation of a wiki entry and a mailing list. We're now planning the first meetup that will actually get a meetup post and be announced in advance.

Ok, so who's the other one living in Berlin?
