Open-source Python development at Less Wrong

March 10th, 2009 – Eliezer Yudkowsky

The Singularity Institute and the Future of Humanity Institute are beta’ing a new site devoted to refining the art of human rationality, LessWrong.com, which will end up as the future home of Eliezer Yudkowsky’s massive repository of essays previously written on Overcoming Bias. LessWrong is based off the open-source Reddit codebase and written in Python. The current site is up and running, but there are many features remaining to be added. Volunteer developers for this open-source project would be much welcome. (Please note that to prevent topic drift during the establishment of Less Wrong, we’ve banned discussion of the Singularity / AGI / FAI until May 2009 - the goal of this blog is to create an ongoing conversation about human rationality.)

For more information, see this post on Less Wrong.
