I get the strong feeling I've read this article before, but I can't find a strong indicator this is an old article. Did someone else write about the leaked script?
- nialo 14y agoThis particular post is a new version of an older article, not a completely new article, so it seems mostly likely that you read the old version already.
- tinco 14y agoAh ok that makes sense then :)
- tinym 14y agoThe dates on the sidebar indicate it was first published in 2009 (and last revised today). Most of gwern's site is an indefinite "work in progress".
- jmillikin 14y agoIt's a bit hard to find, but in the left sidebar there's a date string "2 Nov 2009". This would match up to the article's timeline; script appears on the Internet in May, add a few months for the author to discover it and perform extensive research. Inspecting the HTML verifies that that date is probably when the article was first published: <meta name="dc.date.issued" content="2 Nov 2009"/>
- gwern 14y agoYou may've read the much shorter original version back when it lived in http://www.gwern.net/Notes http://www.gwern.net/Notes or read it sometime in the past 3-4 months when I was working on expanding it. (The first version was basically the non-quantitive first third, but about half that size, so I added a ton.)
