Обзор SPARC Summer Program
SPARC (Summer Program for Applied Rationality and Cognition) is a two-week in-person summer program typically hosted at a college campus in California in late July. The curriculum focuses on applied rationality, using techniques from decision theory, behavioral economics, and statistics to improve mental habits and form accurate beliefs. Classes are discussion-based and cover topics like noticing, cognitive biases, superforecasting, and statistical street fighting. The program also includes various activities and a speaker series.
