Hi folks, Sorry for the late announcement. It's been a long week! There *will* be a reading group tomorrow. I have been reading some interesting papers about *whether computer science is, y'know, actually science*. These are "light reading" -- each one takes maybe 10 minutes. They could even be skimmed during the meeting itself. Anyway, tomorrow I'll see those of you brave enough to show up and do epistemological battle. - KW2, 2225, 11:30-12:30: "The usual" - Please RSVP here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dR32qthk5OLrFcJVZydD3CNJfJhaRrD5oojk... so I can buy food.
