As I mentioned earlier, it's past time for another meetup and, I'd like to have a discussion about decision theory. <a href="http://lesswrong.com/lw/aq9/decision_theories_a_less_wrong_primer/">This</a> recent post on decision theory is good background material. I'll be going over the material in that post and talking about some of the decision theory puzzles which standard decision theories don't do very well on and thus motivate trying to find new, better theories. Guy also that he would bring some puzzles. After that, we'll have a discussion about the puzzles. Ben will be hosting this week. The address is 5523 University Way NE, #501, There is a little buzzer next to the door so if you press "501" someone can let you in.</p></div> </div> <h2>Discussion article for the meetup : <a href="/meetups/8h">Seattle: Decision Theory</a></h2></div> <a href="http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/bd8/meetup_seattle_decision_theory/#comments">3 comments</a> http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/bd8/meetup_seattle_decision_theory/676n http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/bd8/meetup_seattle_decision_theory/676n 2012-04-01T08:08:49.695912+10:00 <div class="md"><p>It would be be helpful to non-regulars if you put the name of the city in the post/post-title.</p></div> http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/bd8/meetup_seattle_decision_theory/677k http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/bd8/meetup_seattle_decision_theory/677k 2012-04-01T10:40:16.457867+10:00 <div class="md"><p>Also, if you put the full address in the Location field, the meetup will show up on the <a href="http://blogs.suntimes.com/scanners/assets_c/2009/11/bigboard-thumb-500x311-13085.jpg" rel="nofollow">map</a>.</p></div> http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/bd8/meetup_seattle_decision_theory/677n http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/bd8/meetup_seattle_decision_theory/677n 2012-04-01T11:06:03.802252+10:00 <div class="md"><p>Oops, for some reason I was thinking that happened automatically.</p></div>
