Awesome. I did the "Rationality Boot Camp" with these folks this past summer, and learned a hell of a lot, and they're a great (and very impressive) group. I would highly recommend taking a Saturday to do this.
The Center for Modern Rationality? I haven't seen that name before, and apparently neither has Google. Is this the announcement of it as the choice for the spin-off organization which Eliezer mentioned? <a href="http://lesswrong.com/lw/9lx/help_name_suggestions_needed_for_rationalityinst/" rel="nofollow">http://lesswrong.com/lw/9lx/help_name_suggestions_needed_for...</a>
We're doing these on Saturday afternoons at my house near Ashby BART from now until the foreseeable future. Come on by, say hi, and hopefully enjoy an interesting workshop. These are most intended for people without much prior exposure to Less Wrong.
LessWrong is one of my favorite sites, highly recommended for debugging yourself and increasing your SAN stat.<p>Is Lukeprog hosting this? Damn, I wish I could meet that dude sometime.
