Participating in a game like this sounds like a lot of fun. I want to do this too. But I am not willing to move to Chicago and start studying history for it. :D
Do you know of things that are similar where I can join?
Actually, I wonder if there is a way of combining this with the idea of experimental history you described above. You wrote that LLMs and historians have the problem that they already know what happens in 1492. Well, I don't. Maybe one could use LLMs only for creating the starting point, the character material, for the evaluation of the results and maybe for playing NPCs, and then let... (read more)
Nice, thanks!

So I did a bit of research on my train ride back on why we don't just dilute and spread nuclear waste.

In one article, they even wrote, that diluting nuclear waste is like a reverse Midas, where everything he touches becomes not gold but toxic waste. I don't... (read more)
It has been 10 years since the last chapter was published. So let's meet and chat about HPMOR, Rationality, LessWrong, etc.
We will meet at Cafe May in Lappenbergsallee, Eimsbuettel (OSM.org location)
Maybe we can get a more regular rat group started again?
If you stumbled here from some other source: this meetup is for you if either:
- you know what HPMOR is (see below)
- you are interested in Rationality
It's probably not for you if you are just a Harry Potter fan. But hey, if you're interested to know more about rationality, feel free to drop by.
