We'll discuss the status quo bias and debiasing techniques. Suggested readings include Bostrom's paper, and other things TBD. Suggestions for additional reading are welcome. Post them here, or on the mailing list.

I'll summarize a bit about the status quo bias and Bostrom's paper, so please don't feel like you can't come if you haven't done the reading, but we do encourage reading in advance!

We'll do introductions and low-key discussion from 7:00-7:30, and status quo bias discussion from 7:30-9:00.

The next in our regularly scheduled HPMoR discussions.

Please feel free to join in, even if you haven't done all the reading; we try to summarize the chapters as we discuss them. (Of course, reading them in advance is encouraged!)

It looks like Parker and Otis is open again, so we'll head there!

Our regular HPMoR reading meetup. Please feel free to come, even if you haven't done all (or any) of the reading. We'll summarize and discuss the chapters and other relevant (or perhaps not-quite-so-relevant) topics.

Let's do some calibration exercises!

I'll talk a bit about what a well-calibrated estimate is, how it differs from an accurate estimate, and why it's useful. Then we'll do some exercises to test the calibration of attendees, and hopefully improve said calibration!

We'll be meeting at Nanataco at 11:00 for brunch to discuss HPMoR chapters 27-29.

As always, please feel free to join us even if you haven't read the chapters.

Please RSVP here or on the mailing list so I can know how large a table we should ask for.

We'll be meeting to play Zendo and chat about general rationality topics. Come join us and play or learn to play if you haven't before!
