Today's post, Inductive Bias was originally published on April 8, 2007. A summary (from the LW wiki):
Inductive bias is a systematic direction in belief revisions. The same observations could be evidence for or against a belief, depending on your prior. Inductive biases are more or less correct depending on how well they correspond with reality, so "bias" might not be the best description.
Discuss the post here (rather than in the comments of the original post).
This post is part of a series rerunning Eliezer Yudkowsky's old posts so those interested can (re-)read and discuss them. The previous post was Debiasing as Non-Self-Destruction, and you can use the sequence_reruns tag or rss feed to follow the rest of the series.
Sequence reruns are a community-driven effort. You can participate by re-reading the sequence post, discussing it, posting the next day's sequence reruns post, summarizing forthcoming articles on the wiki, or creating exercises. Go here for more details, or to discuss the Sequence Reruns.
This may be off-topic, but why don't you make your comment on the original post? IMO it would be more efficient if the discussion of a certain post were centered at one place, so new readers could see all relevant critiques at once. And since there are already many comments at the original post, why not make your comments there? It would also add to the cohesion of lesswrong in general, I guess, but maybe I'm missing something;)
I will reply to myself: Try google.
Each post also serves as a focal point for discussion. Discussion should take place in the comments to the new post in the discussion section, not the original post, since this is a fresh discussion which is taking place a few years after the original post was made. This will also keep everything in the discussion section, so that the main page doesn't get flooded with comments on old posts.
