I am Vipul Naik.
Timelines I keep expanding regularly (or at least, aim to!)
| Timeline | Update due | Desired update cadence | Focused coverage period end date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timeline of Machine Intelligence Research Institute | November 2022 | 1 year | November 2021 |
| Timeline of AI safety | June 2023 | 4 months | February 2023 |
| Timeline of web vitals | August 2024 | 6 months | February 2024 |
| Timeline of Bay Area Rapid Transit | April 13, 2025 | 1 year | April 13, 2024 |
Timelines I am interested in expanding
- Timeline of decision theory
- Timeline of GiveWell (I started an expansion in late 2022 but didn't finish)
- Timeline of online advertising (needs significant expansion)
- Timeline of Amazon Web Services
- Timeline of immigrant processing and visa policy in the United Kingdom
- Timeline of immigrant processing and visa policy in Canada
- Timeline of immigration enforcement in the United Kingdom
- Timeline of H-1B (the expansion is limited to adding tables for FY21 to FY24, after which I can put this in the "expanding regularly" section)
- Timeline of Berks County detention center and Shut Down Berks Coalition
- Timeline of IPv6 adoption
- Timeline of economic statistics
- Timeline of effective altruism (coordinate with Issa / Sebastian as former has worked and latter has looked into working on it)
- Timeline of the rationality community (coordinate with Issa as he has worked on it)
Timelines I am interested in making
- Timeline of Anthropic (this might be something that can be delegated to Sebastian, depending on what timelines are on his plate, but I feel like doing one relatively-lower-profile AI "safety" organization might be helpful for me to get a lay of the land)
- Timeline of Alignment Research Center (similar reasoning as for preceding)
- Timeline of Ought (similar reasoning as for preceding)
- Timeline of Open Philanthropy (this might fit well with my work on DLW and OW docs for this org)
- Timeline of browser caching
- Timeline of gangs in Uttar Pradesh
- Timeline of citizenship in India (I want to cover the background before the Citizenship Amendment Act etc.)
- Maybe some timelines related to Indian and Pakistani history
- Timelines related to law and legal systems
- Timelines related to journalism and whistleblowing
