Another beg: anyone know about image editing?

Specifically, I'm unhappy with my favicon on gwern.net.

The old favicon was based on running http://www.gwern.net/images/logo-nobg-big.png through one of the many favicon-generator sites around, but it had the problem you can see if you click on that link and look at the shrunken tab icon (at least in Firefox): it doesn't show up well against the background and the lines making up the G are thin and ugly and jagged.

So I resorted to shrinking instead a version with a white background: http://www.gwern.net/images/logo-whitebg.png Which leads to the current favicon. But I'm not really happy with the white block icon either.

Is there any way to 'thicken' the G strokes and make it show up nicely against the user's usual background like the LW favicon does?

• I've been meaning to start/resume using SRS programs.

• I practice manual SRS.

• I have a photographic memory and thus have no need to use SRS learning.

The race question doesn't make much sense for Europeans. I could answer White (non-Hispanic) even though the Hispanic category doesn't exist here. But what should Spaniards answer?

One possible strategy for making this easier is explicitly having sub-communities for each optimal thing, that all explicitly include some non-rationalists and exclude some rationalists. Just based on the naive model that people want to identify their behaviour with a community or it will feel odd, and that there is some pressure not to have overlapping signals of membership in different tribes since it be confusing.

Specifying a lower and upper bound on the input should be required.

I wonder where "We're going to modify the process of science so that it recursively self-improves for the purpose of maximizing its benefit to humanity" would be? Would it be less or more ambitious than SI's goal (even though it should accomplish SI's goal by working towards FAI)?

I will come too.

Robin may have been assuming abundant memory and scarce CPU time?

He's not saving on CPU time (i.e., total number of instructions executed), but substituting more, slower processors for fewer, faster processors and also using more memory. We don't see a lot of this today. For example render farms and data centers all use essentially the fastest CPUs available. Some operations might back off a few notches from the bleeding edge in order to save money, but it's not even close to 2x much less 21x. My earlier "doesn't seem plausible" may be too strong, but I don't understand why Robin seems to be predicting this as the most likely scenario. If he has some specific reasons why the economics will likely work out this way, I'd very much like to see it.

How 'bout now? (May need to load then refresh once.)
