    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 7 Now, you can use precognition to fake arbitrary retrocognition. But can you use retrocognition to fake arbitrary precognition? I'm still thinking. You can do a lot if you invoke Laplacian Demon-level powers of prediction based on retrocognitive knowledge, but that's a big ask.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 7 Thus, Sabine has shown that while precognition & retrocognition may logically coexist, epistemically, they don't: you can only prove 'precognition NAND retrocognition'. This definitely comes as a surprise to me and I don't think I've ever seen that claimed before.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 7 So, the retrocog dilemma: if some 'fact' about the past is reported by retrocognition, and it cannot be publicly verified, then obviously it's no proof; but if the fact ever is verified, then the 'retrocog' could just be a precog snooping on the future verification & no proof.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 7 Sabine makes a weaker argument above, appealing to subconscious knowledge, but you can of course strengthen it to any knowable 'verification' itself: if someone ever publicly discovered the meaning of a hieroglyphic, the precog steals it from the discover's *mind or publication*.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 7 What's really fascinating to me here is that Sabine succeeds in his goal of giving a fully general Kripkesteinian skeptical argument against retrocognition: any fact reported by retrocognition then verified could symmetrically just be *pre*cognition foreseeing the *verification*!

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 7 On a nominative determinism sidenote: the important details that they were lesbians & prone to hallucinations come from the salacious expose _The Ghosts of Versailles_, written by "Lucille Iremonger", which I was *sure* was a pseudonym until I checked.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 7 Actually, it's more than a self-fulfilling prophecy, presumably it was a stable time-loop: their vision ensured their research, & their research ensured their vision, with it being initially set up by an exogenous & apparently common fascination of lesbians with Marie Antoinette.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 6 The value of fresh eyes/anon feedback: they asked why there was a big modal for the enable/disable popups toggle, when there was a theme bar with icon-options for everything else. 'Er... Good question.' There were reasons, but they hadn't been valid for easily a year. Fixed.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 5 Big CSS/JS rewrite to refactor & try to prevent bugs. On the lorems, Said says it cuts >5s off rendering time. Certainly does feel faster, although Google Pagespeed is convinced everything is slower. 😕 Now we find out the hard way about edge cases & bugs in the new version...

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern May 30 Caught COVID for a third time. ☹️ Observations: - Dramamine worked wonderfully. (Ginger gum felt redundant.) What I thought was the intrinsic misery of air travel was actually low-grade nausea... Who else?🤔 - Project Fi worked well in UK - Cash increasingly discouraged there

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern May 19 I'll be in London/Oxford next week: possibly Oxford Sunday afternoon (then Mon/Tue), but definitely Wed in London & a bit of Thursday morning. Suggestions?
