- CamperBob2 5y agoHmm, that's a nifty site, reminiscent in some ways of Metaculus but with an actual methodology behind it rather than just prediction aggregation. Very nice UI/UX as well. I'm surprised I've never heard of it.
- _Nat_ 5y agoYeah, just saw it linked [in this comment](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29902330 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29902330 ). Currently, it seems most helpful in aggregating some of the arguments folks put forth in examining claims, including describing the basic issues and linking some references. Plus it seems to offer some insight into what folks are thinking. Then from an academic perspective, I really like the sort of approach that they're trying to use. A well-developed implementation of that general approach would seem like it could be awesome. That said, dunno if I find their current methodology or numbers too convincing, as far as actual conclusions go.
