Just out of curiosity, what did running into people at the restaurant go like?
Very well. We shook hands, swapped stories and had a beer.
I was thinking more "how did you know they were LW people," sorry for being unclear.
Oh. One of them was wearing a Singularity Institute T-Shirt.
In that case I may have to consider buying one. I've also had some interesting conversations prompted by my Bayes rule shirt. :)
Does your shirt just have the equation on it?
I kinda want a Bayes rule shirt that has a visual representation on it, like how its explained here. http://oscarbonilla.com/2009/05/visualizing-bayes-theorem/
I'd think it would stand out more, as well as giving you a visual aid to explain what it means.
Good idea. Which of the possible representations do you think would be the most catchy on a shirt? If there is a particularly good one I could probably make one.
I was thinking of something like this on the front and maybe the back like this one.
I quite like the "It's not just a statistical method, it's the law" part.
Did you make that other shirt you link to? How does that work?
That has potential. Although I'm wary about including pictures with circles within circles on a t-shirt for some reason. I wonder if rectangles would look ok?
No, but I believe anyone can design the shirts on Zazzle by uploading pictures. I have not done so myself yet.
If you're hinting at them looking like boobs, there are ways around that (eg full size and mostly vertical orientation). If you aren't, then I'm confused.
I like circles (or smooth arbitrary blobs) more than rectangles because side by side rectangles aren't as clear with where the overlap is (or if it's just 3 distinct rectangles), and any other orientation hints at some importance of the shape. Not that it would ruin the shirt though..
I think parallel bar charts like in Yudkowsky's essay would be nice.
