Discussion article for the meetup : Houston Meetup - 1/29

WHEN: 29 January 2012 02:00:00PM (-0600)

WHERE: 2010 Commerce Street, Houston, Tx.77002

The Houston LW meetup will have our next meeting this coming Sunday at 2:00 PM. We will be discussing the first two chapters of E.T. Jaynes "The Logic of Science", available here:

http://bayes.wustl.edu/etj/prob/book.pdf

The first two chapters are relatively easy for those with some experience in formal logic, but we will make sure everyone understands the basics. We will also be going over the following sequences in the discussion, if time permits:

How An Algorithm Feels From Inside (http://lesswrong.com/lw/no/how_an_algorithm_feels_from_inside/)

Feel the Meaning (http://lesswrong.com/lw/nq/feel_the_meaning/)

Replace the Symbol with the Substance (http://lesswrong.com/lw/nv/replace_the_symbol_with_the_substance/)

As always, pizza is an option if we feel like it. Bacon, eggs and other snacks are often produced in the hackerspace kitchen during this time, but those are communal products, so bring some cash for the tip jar if you partake.

Fantastic topic choices. "How An Algorithm..." has proven to be a breakthrough post for many of my friends.
