[extropy-chat] A New Year's gift for Bayesians

[Eliezer Yudkowsky]

Happy New Year!  Here's a little something to start off the year.  It's a 
holiday so you've got plenty of time to read, right?

"A Technical Explanation of Technical Explanation"

TechExp is a sequel to the _Intuitive Explanation of Bayesian Reasoning_. 
In the beginning of TechExp there's some new math that wasn't in the 
_Intuitive Explanation_, but after that TechExp dives straight into human 
rationality and philosophy of science.

I'm glad I can finally publish this.  There have been many times in recent 
online conversations when I wished I could refer to it.

PS:  The Singularity Institute made the 33.3% public support threshold. 
Forward the Singularity!
