did Grover do his own three-phase wiring, no it takes Bayes for that

NOTE: on looking again, I'm not sure if he asked a chatbot at the time (presumably the GPT 3.5-based ChatGPT) or if he's saying it would have gone better if he had asked a chatbot. Not that the second is one dot better, and may be worse.

It's really not hard to learn how to renovate a kitchen! I have done it. Of course, you won't be able to learn how to do it all quickly or to a workman's standard, but I had my contractor show me how to cut drywall, how installing cabinets works, how installing stoves works, how to run basic electrical lines, and how to evaluate the load on an electrical panel. The reports my general contractor was delegating to were also all mostly working on less than 30 hours of instruction for the specific tasks involved here (though they had more experience and were much faster at things like cutting precisely).

now if you know habryka wrote this, you can picture exactly what this kitchen looks like and will know to look out for doors falling on your head

I was never even in to be an apostate! Mind you, Scientology used to issue public SP declares on normal people and only stopped when it didn't go so well for them.

I think it's also incorrect to claim I've damaged their reputation (cos it fucking deserves damage) more than Emile, who absolutely goes for the fuckin throat.

I think we can all concur it maximises utility for all humanity across the quantum waveform of the universe to kick a million copies of Roko in the nuts forever
