I can understand. I loved it personally. In fact, it is kind of the reason for why I started reading the trilogy in the first place: because Aphyr mentioned the Fifth Season as one of his influences for his series of short stories (posted s

Be warned: the article contains some (imho) significant spoilers for "The Fifth Season", the first book of the "Broken Earth" trilogy. I read the Broken Earth books and thoroughly enjoyed them (especially the first). I f

Assuming `M-x` still works correctly, in emacs you can explicitly run any command associated with a shortcut. So in this case, `M-x save-buffers-kill-emacs`, or simply `M-x kill-emacs`, could have done the job. (if this still didn't

Yep its clear that the NFLT only apply if we consider all possible environments equally. In practice, we are indeed not interested in every imaginable environments, only in "realistic" ones. It was not clear for me if the paper ad

I missed your post and I made a similar answer. However the idea may still be applicable if the environments votes can weighted, based on their relevance to specific domains. (The same way optimization techniques are still useful despite th

You might be interested in the No Free Lunch Theorem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_theorem ). For what I skimmed from your paper, it looks like the LH agents may be viewed as discrete optimization process

I would agree with you in theory, but in this case it does not seems to hold. Not knowing anything about the people involved I got looking around on the twitter discussions mentioned to form my own opinion. Here I found the following messag

Additional tip: if you overshoot and miss the command you wanted by hitting ctrl+R too much times (as it happens sometime when looking for an older command), you can go forward with ctrl+S. [EDIT: As Hikikomori pointed (thanks!), I got my
