#2Gwern continues to be one of the most authentically curious and transparent researchers around. I highly recommend perusing his essays. Thank you and keep up the excellent output.

#3No conclusion? What's the point of doing research or reporting it if you learned nothing?
Is this a koan?

To aid other researchers interested in replication by sharing the methodology and references to other existing research, since other people might find different results.

I believe this is just a transcript of the ongoing experiment, see "status: in progress". Looks like gwern didn't write up the data yet, they have a lot of other experiments going on at the same time most likely..

It is an admittedly biased self-study that while very detailed in explaining the approach and methodology is very flawed from a credibility standpoint though.

#7I really wish I'd read these comments and realised the experiment isn't finished before scrolling up and down the article for five minutes trying to find the conclusion.

It's preregistration.
You know gwern isn't hiding unsuccessful self-experiments.

Yeah, it's not done. I don't know why you guys are reading it.

This attitude is (imho) a major problem in research/academia. If you've done research into something you should report it even if the results were unclear, ambiguous, or non-existent. For one it lets people know if this is a fruitful avenue to pursue and/or whether further study is warranted. It can thus reduce unnecessary repetition of effort. Furthermore, making the findings and methodology public enables people to use it as a starting point for other studies, perhaps varying the methodology or asking different questions on related topics.
Though I think @cypherpunks01 and @WalterSear are likely right about this particular article/page.
