• Gedusa estimated 90% and said “What do we mean by “cease”? If he sleeps normally for a week, does this count as true?” on 2011-11-02
• gwern said “Gedusa, I think we’ll give him a little leeway – if he doesn’t use because supply was temporarily interrupted for a month but plans to go back to the same schedule, I think morally the prediction is still wrong” on 2011-11-02
