  Hi Vasco. Sorry about that—our Mathjax processing was being a bit overzealous and decided that your dollar signs were creating a math block. Should be fixed now—thanks for letting us know!

  Render is a a lot cheaper than Vercel, and the forum has quite a lot of cron jobs that are more annoying to setup using a serverless architecture. We also had a good experience using Render when we built Forethought’s new website last year. We’re still using Vercel for all of our other sites though (at least, for now).

  Are you sure you were looking at the right “here, here and here”? I just checked the raw post HTML in the forum database and there’s no links in that sentence:

  <p>In the current stage of LLMs, one may reasonably have short timelines for AGI coming in the next 3-5 years, as given here. Here, here, here, and here. It might...</p>

  Not a bug—it’s from Where are you donating this year, and why? which is grandfathered into an old experimental voting system (and it’s the only post with this voting system—there are a couple of others with different experimental systems).

  We actually deployed a whole new search backend last week, and it looks like you found the first bug.

  I’ve created a pull request on Github that should fix the quotation marks not working, and you can expect that to be live on the site in 1-2 days. In the mean time, your best bet is probably the Google search with site: that Neel mentioned.

  Thanks for letting us know!
