How many of you doing Khan Academy?
Hello, I was wondering: how many of you are doing khanacademy?
Right now, I am about 2 weeks away from completing khanacademy altogether. 334 out of 380 concepts are completed, assuming that the KA team don't add any new content during the time period.
Are you guys brushing up your math on KA, and if so what's your progress?
RFC: A Self-quantification Essay (ongoing draft)
I am not the best writer on the block, but I been working on a self quantification essay. It is of interest to lesswrongers since it is about It's about applying epistemic and instrumental rationality to self improvement in the form of running scientific experiments and data analysis on one self.
If you have any criticism or comment, let me know. Also, it needs grammar fixing since I suck at grammar. Thanks.
Be advised that the essay is undergoing continuous revisions. Some of the content may change drastically.
Ted Talk Related to Rationality
Newly published presentation shows vividly why eyewitness testimony are false, ironically through storytelling based on the presenter's memory. This is something I know for quite a while, so I am glad that the knowledge is getting dispersed to a wider audience. It also shows how important our phones, dash cam, and our sousveillance units are in recording the truth.
What Are You Doing for Self-Quantification?
Right now, I am counting steps each day and I logged them on paper everyday, as close to midnight as much as possible. Only yesterday did I achieve my 10,000 steps goal. I have only been doing it since Sunday. This is my fourth day. Yesterday, I started logging my weight (on paper) to see if walking 10,000 steps will help me lose weight. Granted, it's rather manual, but also easy to do. If I try to purchase a pedometer that syncs to your computer automatically, it will costs me 99 USD brand new. Adding wireless output to my weighing scale will cost money too. There are two conditions that could lead me to purchasing sophisticated solutions: I am loaded with money and or I am overwhelmed with data input.
For now, the important thing is that I keep doing it for 30-60 days for habit formations.
