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.
Comment
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.
