Nice book. You might also want to check out “Bayesian Epistemology” 2 volumes by Titelbaum

Thanks for mentioning this, I'll check out imba.io. Also the essay itself is a classic, I wonder what other new techniques or technologies have been invented that let us beat the averages, other than just lisp, though.

I was wondering why the dot product wasn't 32! Good thing I checked. Also this seems like a cool new language, I need to learn a functional language, I wonder how far this language will go in development.

Can you point me to where you find that the left/right division comes from Greece?

Congratulations to Microsoft, this new management is killer. I wonder who will be first to reach $3T.

Ellsberg apparently made contributions to decision theory, I forgot where I read this but this guy has notable qualities other than being a whistleblower.

Just fyi there are non upper caste Indians, I’m Sikh so caste distinctions are forbidden for us. I’m a “Saini” my name is Ricky Saini and I’m not sure this fits with my experience as a lot of the people in my family(who are Indian of course) are not upper caste. I would be shocked to learn if this was true. Just so you guys know the modern Indian community not only Punjabi’s try very cars to be against caste. So don’t think we’re not trying or anything. We try really hard.

I disagree that Taleb is "middle-brow", check out his new technical incerto book, from what I've heard its rather rigorous.

I think my all reasonable estimates, he was a polymath, maybe not on the level of Kolmogorov or something but it's the fact that he died so young, had such immense influence, and worked in so many fields.

By the way, it's alleged by a famous professor(?) and amazon reviewer Michael Emmet Brady that Ramsey in no way "demolished" his theory and that this particular problem has drawn people away from respecting and appreciating Keynes immense work in philosophy of probability

here is the review: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2927587

I disagree with your statement as well, psychedelics have a variety of use cases and the entire experience is difficult to describe, for example take the following statements

"I like the wall breathing" "The wall is breathing"

it is difficult to qualify and categorize whether this is "Escapism" or "Facing reality" this statement and a variety of the subclass of total experiences of mushrooms and lsd at times is that often, it just doesn't make sense, but it can induce profound thought, at least we hope is profound =)

Much love.

Oh come now, one essay can't really detract from the general character of all his essays does it?

It seems everyday that history moves on, anyways this is a historic day and I applaud the principal's for making a difficult decision. I wish them all the best.

I've only used python for scripts and such and pandas for data-analysis at my last job.

I wonder how many more errors like this have happened.

What about Graham's number?

very polarizing website, posting many interviews with antisocial hackers(still cool though) but also more nicely minded ones.
