to Houston Less Wrong
The Houston LW meetup will have our next meeting this coming Sunday at
2:00 PM. We will be discussing the first two chapters of E.T. Jaynes
"The Logic of Science", available here:
http://bayes.wustl.edu/etj/prob/book.pdf
The first two chapters are relatively easy for those with some
experience in formal logic, but we will make sure everyone understands
the basics. We will also be going over the following sequences in the
discussion, if time permits:
How An Algorithm Feels From Inside (http://lesswrong.com/lw/no/
how_an_algorithm_feels_from_inside/)
Feel the Meaning (http://lesswrong.com/lw/nq/feel_the_meaning/)
Replace the Symbol with the Substance (http://lesswrong.com/lw/nv/
replace_the_symbol_with_the_substance/)
As always, pizza is an option if we feel like it. Bacon, eggs and
other snacks are often produced in the hackerspace kitchen during this
time, but those are communal products, so bring some cash for the tip
jar if you partake.
