https://www.lesswrong.com/events/PnA2JATMQ6FwYfRrR/alex-flint-on-a-software-engineer-s-perspective-on-logical

This Sunday at noon PT, Alex Flint will be giving a short talk on how he thinks about Logical Induction from a software engineer’s perspective. He describes the talk as "My attempt to understand and re-explain logical induction as a practical alternative to probability." We’ll be meeting in the Walled Garden at noon, on Sunday April 18th. http://​​garden.lesswrong.com?code=qCM0&event=alex-flint-on-logical-induction-from-a-software-engineer-s

Any way this one can be recorded? The main bits, regardless of subsequent small-group discussions.

I attempted to record this but accidentally did so in a way that didn’t capture audio.

Comment

I would say that, if-and-only-if it’s still alive for Alex, I’d enjoy him just writing down the basic things he said in his talk in like a couple of paragraphs, both the preamble at the top and his 4 slides or so.

How many times have I done similar… :D

Thanks for attempting though!

Guy- the slides are available here: https://​​docs.google.com/​​presentation/​​d/​​1AhDGjZrl7Xk7lssG7HwsWBtJY8oJ5ynuJMCI-7toox8/​​edit?usp=sharing

Would love to chat with you 1-1 about this if you’re interested. Perhaps we could even record a 1-1 conversation and post it for others.

Comment

I was also hoping to see a recording—if you give the talk again, or have a conversation like this, I’d be interested to check it or a recording out.
