As a regular reader of overcomingbias.com (through RSS) I honestly had never really noticed lesswrong.com yet, until Eliezer repeatedly posted about it recently.
I do remember talk about reducing the number of posts on overcomingbias.
Overcomingbias.com is wonderful, because it is unique, perhaps, and because the contributors have lots of interesting stuff to say.
Apart from that and in spite of the unambiguous title, it`s identity doesn’t seem overly clear. It doesn’t always seem overly focused on actually, practically overcoming bias.
That’s perhaps where lesswrong has a role to play: as an exercise by an actual community in overcoming biases, being less wrong, in “real life”.
For now though it isn’t clear to me yet where this new site is headed. The people involved are obviously interested in the same issue that are discussed on overcomingbias, especially those of the Eliezer variety, so is my first impression.
