The meetup was a success, with a total of 4 people attending.
There’s a quality of conversation among people who aspire to be less wrong, that is refreshing and energizing. To give you an idea of the range:
thinkthatthrough.wordpress.com—You are an atheist
3quartsdaily
Shor’s Algorithm for factoring primes is squarely in P.
Lattice based crypto
It’s totally ok to say I don’t know.
Lob’s Paradox
Sam Harris’s Moral Landscape—and how he didn’t clarify his premises enough.
Mathematics jokes ∞！ = √2Ⲡ
Rationally Speaking
HPMoR
lesswrong on freenode
Selenium SST
Zero 7′s Somersault
The Quantum Machine experiment by O’Donnell
just to name a few topics.
An excellent time was had by everyone.
Just to clarify: the website is 3quarksdaily.com. :)
I enjoyed it. I hope to attend next time too.
