- hughw 11y agoSerendipity. This morning, in another context, I learned for the first time about E.T. Jaynes' work and downloaded a copy of his unfinished tome. And now, this afternoon, in Shalizi's review, I again see it honorably mentioned. Thanks for this link.
- username223 11y agoSubtitle: "A Rare Blend of Monster Raving Egomania and Utter Batshit Insanity." This is a classic that everyone should read, utterly destroying a shameless self-promoter gifted with some intelligence and a grasp of jargon.
- MrQuincle 11y agoNot so kind, but I loved to read that!! Thanks! I'll definitely buy http://www.amazon.com/The-End-Science-Knowledge-Scientific/dp/0465065929 http://www.amazon.com/The-End-Science-Knowledge-Scientific/d... as well, the books he recommends w.r.t. Prigogine.
- joekim 11y agoThanks for the link. I found the article to be very informative. Can't say the same thing about the original Wolfram article.
