I’m porting the credence game into predictionbook for CFAR. Goals include exposing the game to more people, having it playable in a nicer format, and getting data on how well-calibrated people are. Personal goals include learning Rails and having a public display of I-contributed-to-someone-else’s-project. Currently stuck at a point where Rails doesn’t seem to be acting like I think the docs say it should; this has cost me two or three pomodoros, and I think my next step is to see how friendly the IRC channel is.
For a few months I was beeminding “write at least one blog post every other week”. I decided to stop beeminding that because it was giving me too little time to work on the credence game, but I’m still writing. In particular, I’m currently writing part two of the PTTLOS cliffs notes. I’m writing that series because I want to learn probability theory better, and for a public display of doing-cool-things that isn’t a tiny coding project on github. Currently at a point where I don’t remember enough calculus to fully understand a proof that I want to summarize, but I’m sure I can re-learn it.
