I won the Danish National Biology Olympiad semifinal (as 1/15), and thus I qualify for the final, where I will have the chance to be 1 of 4 Danes participating in the International Biology Olympiad.
That's a pretty good heuristic. OTOH, up until this week, my karma in the last 30 days was 0. Now that I'm starting the sequences soon (in the form of "Rationality: From AI to Zombies"), I suspect I'll involve myself in the community some more. Then again, my account didn't functionally exist until recently, mainly being there for the purpose of reserving the name.
Hi! Semi-new lurker here. What is the current etiquette on necroing? I didn't find any official ettiquette guide.

So, I consider the "go back in time" aspect of this unnecessarily confusing... the important part from my perspective is what events my timeline contains, not where I am on that timeline.
Indeed, that is my mistake. I am not always the best at choosing metaphors or expressing myself cleanly.
regretting an improperly made decision whose consequences were undesirable, vs. regretting a properly made decision whose consequences were undesirable
That is a very nice way of expressing what I meant. I will be using this from now on to explain what I mean. Thank you.
Your comment helped me to understand what I myself meant much better than before. Thank you for that.
Both the paper and an update to it can be found quite easily on Library Genesis.
