to Research Triangle Less Wrong
Dear Research-Triangle Rats and Rat-adjacents,
Thanks everyone who came out last Saturday for our Spring megameetup! I just wanted to share a few links and notes as a follow-up:
Survey: Scott and Skyler (the ACX Meetup Czar) would like to hear from you about how the megameetup went. It's super short, so click the link to help give them (and us) a sense for what you think went well and what we could do better.
Prediction Tournament: For those of you who missed it, we made up a short, 15-question prediction tournament for our meetup members. There is still time to participate, even if you didn't come to the meetup! Click the link to access the form and give your predictions. The winner will receive a prize at our fall megameetup, tentatively scheduled for this October 3rd (mark your calendars!). Get your answers in by next Saturday (the 23rd) to participate.
Calibration Quiz: We also built a 10 question calibration quiz! Click the link to find 10 questions asking you to provide your 90% confidence intervals for questions like "How many drugs did the FDA approve in 2025?" or "How many objects has humanity launched into space?" The winner will also receive a prize at our fall megameetup. Because this one isn't tied to real world events, complete it at any time up until the last week of September.
Meetup this Thursday: This week we resume our normally-scheduled meetups. I myself will be out of town, but I promise that everyone else is also very fun! Come out to Ponysaurus this Thursday at 7:30 for beer, pizza, and good conversation.
Discord: Just a reminder that we have a Discord server! We post recaps of our weekly discussions (almost) ever week, as well as random links, tweets, and thoughts of interest to the ACX/LW/Rat/Postrat crowd.
