Nobody came last time?
Yeah. Although I always post notifications in russian social network (a lot of people subscribed to them) with poll "probability that I will attend" with choices "~1, ~.9 ~.7 ~.5 ~.2 ~0". There were two people, who answered .7, and six with .2 which using my calibration data from last polls and attendance clearly suggested that this time I am going to be alone =)
Sadly there are really few people who know english and so wast majority know LW only by translations on lessrwong.ru - which is very good, but really is only about 7% of old Elizers sequences.
I finished reading Eli's paper on TDT though)
Discussion article for the meetup : Saint Petersburg meetup - "the lonely one"
WHEN: 31 October 2014 08:00:00PM (+0400)
WHERE: Россия, Санкт-Петербург, Московский пр. 65,
We are resuming our bi-weekly schedule, even if I'm sitting at the meetups all by myself reading math papers!
Now very nice free venue is available thanks to its owner. It's a sports club, directions in the vk group (https://vk.com/c9h13no3ru). Please notify my if it's unavailable for someone without registration.
The plan is to try exercises on lonely dissent (from hpmor) if there is enough people (>=5).
Otherwise - unstructured talk/self-education on topics that are of interest for everyone.
It will last for at least 2 - 2,5 hours. You can reach me by phone - +7-(911)-843-56-44 or mail: efim.wool@gmail.com or vk: vk.com/timetravel.
Efim.
P.S. I will now give meetup different names in advance just for fun.
