I was introduced to Less Wrong by a friend about a year ago. My first impression was of thoughts and opinions that I already had, or had half-thought, but expressed much more clearly. How could I not love it? I eventually read all of the sequences, finding novel but brilliant ideas. I now recommend them to almost everyone I meet.
Coincidentally, after I’d started reading the sequences, I found HP:MOR, and had my mind blown when I found out most of them were written by the same person.
Currently, I’m trying to read E.T. Jaynes’, “Probability Theory: The Logic of Science”, but I’m having some trouble, especially since I can’t seem to solve any of the examples. If anyone has a solutions guide, or some small hints, I’d greatly appreciate it.
