Thank you for this!

I had spotted some errors here and there, but it's always good to have them in one place.

I think we are all in the same wagon when I say that even with those rough edges Jaynes' book is kind of a transformative experience for everyone who has already been "conditioned" to other Probability texts.

For example, for me Feller is a great intro to "start working with Probability," but Jaynes is where one starts actually "thinking in Probability."

The whole Maximum Entropy thing was mind blowing for me.
