A decisionmaking trick I often use is to take bad arguments <i>against</i> something as arguments <i>for</i> that thing.

<h3 id="orgee8b549">Introduction</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-orgee8b549">
<p>
Last week I worked on the issue of &ldquo;life systems&rdquo;, by which I mean systems such as to-do lists, good habits such as exercise, schedules, plans, that sort of thing. At various times in the past I&rsquo;ve had various such systems, some working better than others. I used to make a list of the day&rsquo;s goals every morning and cross them off throughout the day. I also keep a file called <code>life.org</code> where I keep track of to-dos and leads to look into at a later point and such. Other things I would consider &ldquo;sytems&rdquo; include my daily meditation practice and various attempts at regular exercise I&rsquo;ve made in the past.
</p>
<p>
Keeping systems is hard because life is messy. Whole-life systems as these are truly all-encompassing, and thus they interact with all of life&rsquo;s complexity. The <a href="https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/CPm5LTwHrvBJCa9h5/planning-fallacy">Planning Fallacy</a> turns any attempts at tying to-do lists and intentions to timespans and deadlines into an uphill battle. Changing your habits is famously hard. Unexpected things will happen with certainty; priorities change, capabilities fluctuate, problems spring up and solve themselves.
</p>

<h3 id="orgbe6cc47">Desirable Traits</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-orgbe6cc47">
<p>
The primary issue with life systems is therefore the overhead, the burden of maintenance, the stress. Rather than simplifying life, it is easy to <i>add</i> an administrative burden. In light of this, I&rsquo;ve isolated the following properties that I think a good system should have:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><b>Simplicity</b>. The overall system can not contain too many moving parts. In order to be simple to apply, it needs to be simple to explain; in order to be simple to explain, it needs to <i>be</i> simple.</li>
<li><b>Smooth scaling</b>. As life&rsquo;s difficulties and my capacity to handle them fluctuate, the systems of my life need to be able to scale smoothly up and down. During tough times I need to be able to simplify my life to the most important parts; during better times I should be able to smoothly pick the rest back up where I left it. Implicit in this is also a <i>hierarchy of priority</i>, an order in which I drop things, a notion of what is least worthwhile at any given time.</li>
<li><b>Malleability</b>. As both my life and my understanding of it are liable to change, my systems need to be able to adapt with minimal burden. Because of this there ought to be few strict schemas; for, if the schema has to change, all data already <i>within</i> that scheme would have to be migrated.</li>
<li><b>Evaluation</b>. There needs to be some measure of <i>how well things are going</i>, in order to catch problems early and prevent catastrophic failure, and furthermore to optimize the system. Other constraints enforce simplicity here; a system of regular deadlines, for instance, would be too inflexible.</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-org8241af7">
<p>
The above is about as far as I got in terms of definitives. I did not start there; I started at neither the level of specifics nor of generalities, but in between, dealing with things such as &ldquo;managing stress&rdquo; and &ldquo;measurability&rdquo; and &ldquo;dimensions of personal development&rdquo;. At this level, however, it was far easier to write things down than to strike them through; easier to complicate than simplify, and I ended up with a basket of disjointed ideas, aims and cautions that I realized would be difficult to unify into a simple, coherent system. I was able to extract properties that the system should have, but not specifics of how the system should work.
</p>
<p>
To find the common thread and unify everything, I realized that rather than working on the level of <i>means</i>, I should be working on the level of <i>ends</i>; before figuring out <i>how to do things</i>, I should be clearer about <i>what I want to get out of life</i>. As such I&rsquo;m putting the project of systems on semi-hold; I will follow up on some of the generated ideas, but put further contemplation on hiatus until the matter of ends is further clarified.
</p>
<p>
But what does that <i>mean</i>? Am I going to go off and go &ldquo;find a purpose in life&rdquo;? Will I come brandishing a grand life quest, next time I return to this topic? That is not my intention. Frankly, I don&rsquo;t really know what an answer to this question is supposed to look like. Still, I don&rsquo;t think I am getting anywhere simply by <i>listing desirable things</i>, how I originally approached this. It&rsquo;s easy to list desirable things, such as physical health, mental health, a good social life, sexual satisfaction, material possessions, creative expression, learning, and so on and so on. Yet this does not <i>converge</i> - I can&rsquo;t seem to manage to unify all this in a way that helps me set up simple systems for how to act. These axes are pluriform and largely orthogonal, so that including all of them would only helplessly overcomplicate the system; yet they have no obvious natural ordering, so the set cannot be easily trimmed.
</p>
<p>
This, I think, is the biggest open issue in this matter, the issue of <i>motivations</i>. It is not enough to simply enumerate things which would be <i>desirable</i>, without having a discriminator that can <i>rank</i> them. <i>That</i> is what I mean by &ldquo;the problem of ends&rdquo;. And yes, ultimately that resolves to the difficult question of <i>what is the meaning of life?</i> I fear that that might take more than a week to resolve, but hopefully a partial solution should still help me make progress.

<h3 id="org3a08c0e">Assorted Raw Materials</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-org3a08c0e">
<p>
What follows is more-or-less a brain-dump of generated ideas that do not fit in the earlier sections.
</p>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-orgd1d98a8" class="outline-4">
<h4 id="orgd1d98a8">Weekly Themes &amp; Reports</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-orgd1d98a8">
<p>
The astute reader will observe that this article itself, as a report on a weekly theme, itself constitutes a system. I have been playing with the idea of daily, weekly, monthly &amp;c themes for a while; weekly themes seem like a good sweet spot. This is the first weekly theme so far, and I&rsquo;m quite satisfied with it; having a theme gave me something to fall back on, something to work on when I didn&rsquo;t know what I should be doing, something to keep in the back of my mind. Writing this kind of report on it is also helpful; it&rsquo;s free-form enough that it&rsquo;s not burdensome, yet the fact that I intend to report on my thoughts helps keep me focused and organized.
</p>
<p>
This gives me hope; it&rsquo;s quite difficult to balance all the constraints on a good system, it&rsquo;s hard to balance flexibility and structure, yet this system of weekly themes and reports seems to tick all the boxes.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-orgd74a56b" class="outline-4">
<h4 id="orgd74a56b">Dynamic Automatic Recall of Intentions</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-orgd74a56b">
<p>
I like to keep to-do lists, both short-term and long-term, but long-term lists can be hard to manage. It&rsquo;s natural to add things to them faster than you can tick them off, it&rsquo;s normal to have more things you want to do than you actually end up doing. However, unless you are very aggressive about cutting things out, this tends to lead to a large to-do list over time, with many things of low priority on it. This makes it much more effortful to maintain and to extract activities from it, defeating the purpose of a to-do list, which for me is primarily to get all of these things out of my head and onto a document.
</p>
<p>
It would be much better if to-dos were instead served up to me automatically, letting me choose on the spot how to deal with them. Options for &ldquo;dealing with them&rdquo; could be, for instance:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Move them from long-term to-dos to short-term to-dos</li>
<li>Delete them</li>
<li>Ask again later</li>
</ul>
<p>
This way, I would not have to personally worry about forgetting anything; I would not have to manually sort through the long-term to-do lists. Metadata such as deadlines could also b eattached to the to-dos, though I need to be careful not to overcomplicate things.
</p>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-org50b6ddd" class="outline-4">
<h4 id="org50b6ddd">Chatbot as UI</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-org50b6ddd">
<p>
In context of the previous section I&rsquo;ve been thinking about <i>how</i> to best send myself notifications. I&rsquo;m sure there&rsquo;s turnkey solutions for this, but the matter is personal and simple enough that I&rsquo;d rather roll my own thing than rely and work around something readymade. I considered phone notifications and email notifications, but I found what I think would be a nicer interface: a Discord bot.
</p>
<p>
I use Discord to communicate with most of my friends, so it is under my eyes a lot of the time; furthermore, it allows for bidirectional communication with the bot, something which would be harder or at least clunkier with, say, email. I don&rsquo;t like relying on a proprietary platform like Discord, but realistically I rely on it for the more important matter of communication with loved ones already, so I&rsquo;m willing to compromise.
</p>
<p>
I would not want this to be the <i>only</i> interface, however; I would want the underlying data to be stored in a simple, human read- and writeable format. Currently I write to-dos using org-mode, and I quite like that experience, but I don&rsquo;t know how I feel about having an automated program read and write to an org file.

<div id="outline-container-orgbf37910" class="outline-4">
<h4 id="orgbf37910">Catastrophic Failure</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-orgbf37910">
<p>
I&rsquo;ve spent a good chunk of time thinking about &ldquo;catastrophic failure&rdquo;. By catastrophic failure I mean the bad days, weeks and months. The times when you get nothing done. When you fail to wake up in the morning, brush your teeth, clean the house, exercise. When getting meaningful work done is not even on the table. I sketch here an extreme case; milder equivalents are possible.
</p>
<p>
The mechanism at play here two me seems two-fold. First of all, there&rsquo;s a failure to measure; we push ourselves past the breaking point because we fail to realize that we are <i>close</i> to the breaking point. Second, there&rsquo;s a failure to scale things. It really shouldn&rsquo;t ever be the case that we fail to even take care of ourselves, surely we can muster at least that amount of bandwidth? We often spread ourselves too thin, we are reluctant to drop less important things for more important things, and end up failing at both. This helped me derive the desirable traits of <i>evaluation</i> and <i>smooth scaling</i>.
</p>
<p>
I am now armed with some principles for <i>preventing</i> catastrophic failure, but I haven&rsquo;t made much progress on <i>recovering from</i> catastrophic failure. That&rsquo;s still an important open problem. It&rsquo;s important to have a plan for this scenario, because when we are <i>in</i> that deep dark well, it becomes very hard to muster the level of clarity and willpower necessary to climb back out.

<div id="outline-container-orgad0a651" class="outline-4">
<h4 id="orgad0a651">The Matter of Mood</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-orgad0a651">
<p>
Mood matters. Inspiration matters. It is far easier, it takes far less energy, to do something we feel inspired to do, something that we are in the mood for, than something that&rsquo;s a pain in the butt. This is a natural part of the dance of life, the chaos of existence, but my models currently do not take it into account. I have taken into account variations in the <i>quantity</i> of our capabilities, through the trait of <i>smooth scaling</i>, but I have yet to deal with variations in the <i>quality</i> of our capabilities and desires.
</p>

<div id="outline-container-org33538dc" class="outline-4">
<h4 id="org33538dc">The Practice of the Practice</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-org33538dc">
<p>
My meditation practice intersects strongly with this topic, yet I have not yet managed to marry them effectively. This is a very promising direction of thought that I fully intend to follow up on.
</p>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-orgc4be332" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="orgc4be332">Weekly Diary</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-orgc4be332">
<p>
This week was pretty tough, but I managed to mostly turn it around towards the end. I struggled with depression, loneliness and avolition. I dropped my daily meditation streak and indulged in too much cannabis. I spent a lot of time reading, mainly LessWrong. Having this weekly theme helped, since at least I was managing to make <i>some</i> progress on <i>some</i> things. In the end this report ended up being far longer than I had anticipated, certainly far longer than my notes for it, so I guess I made more progress in the end than I thought I did.
</p>
<p>
I struggled with all the things that this document is supposed to help resolve. Too many things I feel like I ought to be doing, too little progress on anything material. Doing nothing causes ennui, but choosing to do one thing over another feels pointless and arbitrary. It&rsquo;s hard to keep many plates spinning, it&rsquo;s hard to know where to start picking them up when you drop them.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-org3c21620" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="org3c21620">Next Week</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-org3c21620">
<p>
I&rsquo;m gonna leave this topic here for the time being. I don&rsquo;t think I have what I need to continue the research, so I&rsquo;m just gonna wait. I&rsquo;ll try and follow up on some of the more actionable things, try and pick earlier systems of to-do lists and so on back up. I intent to follow up on the Discord-bot-as-planning-interface idea too.
</p>
<p>
I&rsquo;ve been enjoying reading and learning a lot lately, so maybe next week (really, this week; it is Monday) will be the Week of Learning. I also want to try writing more. I&rsquo;ll take it easy, keep things flexible and open-ended, not put too many expectations on myself.

I feel a lot better now! Bringing myself to write for this blog was quite a hurdle, but overcoming it has energized me. I look forward to writing more. Bless you, dear reader. May you be happy, may you be at peace, may you be free from suffering. May you be kind to others, may you find meaning, may you be victorious.

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-org747a9a7">
<p>
so yesterday I had an idea abouth ow to deal with the
[2:00 PM]
AI alignment thing
[2:01 PM]
and I was thinking the Amish are probably a genetically distinct population right?
[2:01 PM]
or at least all these mennonites are
[2:01 PM]
I read up on them a bit and they do split their church a lot
[2:01 PM]
anyways they intermarry, they&rsquo;ve lived closed off from their surroundings for a long time
[2:01 PM]
you can probably tell without too much trouble genetically
[2:02 PM]
I bet you could engineer a virus that leaves only Amish alive
[2:02 PM]
think about it
[2:02 PM]
if you wanted to delay the invention of strong AI it would be perfect
[2:02 PM]
the amish would never try and create an AI, especiall not having technology just killing 99.9% of the world&rsquo;s population
[2:02 PM]
they would see it as a clear message of God that technology is indeed bad and they are right
[2:03 PM]
also they would
[2:03 PM]
cope with it well
[2:03 PM]
they&rsquo;re already used to not using electricity and stuff
[2:03 PM]
if society broke down entirely I don&rsquo;t think the amish would care all that much
[2:03 PM]
they already live in tight, self-sufficient communities
[2:03 PM]
furthermore they speak English, most of them are bilingual I think
[2:03 PM]
they are literate, they get normal elementary school education pretty much
[2:04 PM]
they live in the US where there&rsquo;s a wealth of information
[2:04 PM]
not sure how much they&rsquo;d do with all of humanity&rsquo;s collective knowledge but
[2:04 PM]
I&rsquo;m sure at least some of it will be preserved and useful
[2:04 PM]
and they could be told what happened somehow, we could teach them about AI risk from beyond the grave
[2:05 PM]
I think as far as ideas go this one is
[2:05 PM]
quite reasonable if you&rsquo;re okay with killing billions of people

<p>
I was reading <a href="https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/07/04/style-guide-not-sounding-like-an-evil-robot/">a little style guide on Slate Star Codex</a>. Now truth be told, I generally find this kind of &ldquo;don&rsquo;t say this, say that instead&rdquo; style guide somewhat patronizing and quite irritating (more of a testament to my own rebellious spirit than any indictment of any author) and unhelpfully unnuanced (a more practical complaint), and my first instinct was to want to argue this lack of nuance. On the other hand, Scott is a very skilled communicator and an examplar in how being an enormous dork need not be a barrier to popularity, and there is a more helpful general principle hidden in these rules.
</p>
<p>
The principle here is that while reading (or listening, viewing, &#x2026;), people will are constantly <i>predicting</i> what will come next. If what they read is what they expect - all good, the reading flows smoothly, and people interpret the text as saying what they already thought it was saying, which is low effort and comfortable. If, on the other hand, they encounter something unexpected, this will stand out, draw their intention, be interpreted as meaningful.
</p>
<p>
Staying on the level of single words and turns of phrase, in practice what this means is that when you use an unusual word or phrasing instead of a more conventional (to the reader! &ldquo;normal speech&rdquo; is audience-relative!) synonym, it will be taken as deliberate and specific; the reader will interpret your choice to use that word as you having searched for the right word to use because the specific meaning matters.
</p>
<p>
Often, this is not what you want. In scientific discourse, precision is highly valued, and so scientific writing has a house style of using carefully chosen, specific words. In normal everyday prose, however, this amounts to information overload. Even if the length of the text ends up the same, by choosing unexpected &ldquo;pokey&rdquo; words, you are preventing the reader from rounding your message off to their own everyday working set of concepts. In effect, you&rsquo;re making your message less compressible for them. Try and do this sparingly! All of this is simply a special case of the commonsense principles of getting to the point and avoiding extraneous detail.

I&rsquo;d been eyeing the <a href="https:frame.work">Framework laptop</a> since somewhere in October 2021, but the EU release got delayed and they were very hesitant to give time estimates. I only managed to get my hands on it in late February, and I ended up having to have it delivered to France.

This required setting up a swap file and setting a kernel command line parameter to refer to it, but it was easy to do. It works well. I&rsquo;ve observed the laptop auto-hibernating when the battery runs out, but it doesn&rsquo;t do this reliably, so I should probably configure it myself.

I&rsquo;ve never had a decent touchpad before, so I was pleasantly surprised. I expected to miss the trackpoint on the thinkpad a lot, but this is fine, though it&rsquo;s still a step down. Pinch to zoom doesn&rsquo;t work very well, but I don&rsquo;t use that functionality a lot. I miss having dedicated mouse buttons; the clicking functionality on this touchpad works fine for me, but it&rsquo;s hard not to mess up left/middle/right click. That&rsquo;s a good incentive for me to practice relying on the mouse less, though. There&rsquo;s plenty of <a href="https://linuxtouchpad.org/">work being done</a> on the Linux touchpad experience software-side, too. It&rsquo;s a nice time to be a linux laptop user!

I seem to get about 6.5 hours of real-world use time when using Emacs and doing light web browsing. I don&rsquo;t have a good benchmark for more intensive tasks, but compiling does hit the battery pretty hard. All in all I&rsquo;m very happy with it, getting decent battery life on Linux is hard. It might be worth eventually buying a power bank for it though, for travel~

The little expansion cards are one of Framework&rsquo;s big marketing things. I think they&rsquo;re pretty neat, though I don&rsquo;t always quite understand the way people talk about them, as &ldquo;dongle killers&rdquo;. I would find hotswapping these about equally obnoxious as carrying dongles. The idea of aftermarket expansion cards is interesting, though - these are low level, high bandwidth ports, with I think similar capabilities to the ExpressCard ports on old business laptops, but more modern with a USB-C port. I&rsquo;m looking forward to the USB4 era!

I haven&rsquo;t thrown particularly difficult things at it, though, but that&rsquo;s fine - most of what I do on a laptop is reading, web browsing, and text editing. I played some Factorio on it and that seemed fine, but using the touchpad felt limiting so I didn&rsquo;t play very much.

Getting this laptop set up has been really fun! It&rsquo;s a good opportunity to take stock of where we&rsquo;re at. On the hardware side, I am very impressed that it&rsquo;s now possible to make a laptop that&rsquo;s this user-servicable, this well-specced and still not <i>that</i> expensive. It&rsquo;s a reminder of how much better things could be.

* Reflections on ~9 years of anime
It's hard to accurately(?) estimate how long I've been watching anime. My AnimeBytes account is about 9 years old, so that's a lower bound.

#+TITLE: Reserved Jabbing with Pokey Words
#+DATE: <2023-03-16 Thu 18:08>
* Reserved Jabbing with Pokey Words
I was reading [[https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/07/04/style-guide-not-sounding-like-an-evil-robot/][a little style guide on Slate Star Codex]]. Now truth be told, I generally find this kind of "don't say this, say that instead" style guide somewhat patronizing and quite irritating (more of a testament to my own rebellious spirit than any indictment of any author) and unhelpfully unnuanced (a more practical complaint), and my first instinct was to want to argue this lack of nuance. On the other hand, Scott is a very skilled communicator and an examplar in how being an enormous dork need not be a barrier to popularity, and there is a more helpful general principle hidden in these rules.
The principle here is that while reading (or listening, viewing, ...), people will are constantly /predicting/ what will come next. If what they read is what they expect - all good, the reading flows smoothly, and people interpret the text as saying what they already thought it was saying, which is low effort and comfortable. If, on the other hand, they encounter something unexpected, this will stand out, draw their intention, be interpreted as meaningful.
Staying on the level of single words and turns of phrase, in practice what this means is that when you use an unusual word or phrasing instead of a more conventional (to the reader! "normal speech" is audience-relative!) synonym, it will be taken as deliberate and specific; the reader will interpret your choice to use that word as you having searched for the right word to use because the specific meaning matters.
Often, this is not what you want. In scientific discourse, precision is highly valued, and so scientific writing has a house style of using carefully chosen, specific words. In normal everyday prose, however, this amounts to information overload. Even if the length of the text ends up the same, by choosing unexpected "pokey" words, you are preventing the reader from rounding your message off to their own everyday working set of concepts. In effect, you're making your message less compressible for them. Try and do this sparingly! All of this is simply a special case of the commonsense principles of getting to the point and avoiding extraneous detail.
