Fred Åkerström var en av de ledande vissångarna och trubadurerna i Sverige under 60- och 70-talen. Med en innerlig och djup basröst tolkade han Ruben Nilsson, Birger Sjöberg och framförallt Bellman. Vissa menar att han är vår kanske främsta Bellmantolkare. Fred skrev också den svenska texten till hitten ”Jag ger dig min morgon”. Nu finns en stor biografi om Fred ute.

rWotD Episode 2707: Gråt Fader Berg och spela Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 1 October 2024 is Gråt Fader Berg och spela.Gråt Fader Berg och spela (Cry, Father Berg, and Play) is No. 12 in the Swedish poet and performer Carl Michael Bellman's 1790 song collection, Fredman's Epistles. The epistle is subtitled "Elegi över Slagsmålet på Gröna Lund" ("Elegy on the Battle at Gröna Lund [Tavern]"). It is a lament over a pub brawl, caused by Fredman's drinking a soldier's beer and dancing with someone else's girlfriend. Set to the melody from the aria "The flocks shall leave the mountains" in George Frideric Handel's opera Acis and Galatea, it is the best-known of his poems describing the consequences of brandy-drinking. Bellman used the contrast between the romantic associations of the melody and the brutal reality of heavy drinking to humorous effect.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:32 UTC on Tuesday, 1 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Gråt Fader Berg och spela on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Free Will and Dodging Anvils: AIXI Off-Policy, published by Cole Wyeth on September 1, 2024 on LessWrong. This post depends on a basic understanding of history-based reinforcement learning and the AIXI model. I am grateful to Marcus Hutter and the lesswrong team for early feedback, though any remaining errors are mine. The universal agent AIXI treats the environment it interacts with like a video game it is playing; the actions it chooses at each step are like hitting buttons and the percepts it receives are like images on the screen (observations) and an unambiguous point tally (rewards). It has been suggested that since AIXI is inherently dualistic and doesn't believe anything in the environment can "directly" hurt it, if it were embedded in the real world it would eventually drop an anvil on its head to see what would happen. This is certainly possible, because the math of AIXI cannot explicitly represent the idea that AIXI is running on a computer inside the environment it is interacting with. For one thing, that possibility is not in AIXI's hypothesis class (which I will write M). There is not an easy patch because AIXI is defined as the optimal policy for a belief distribution over its hypothesis class, but we don't really know how to talk about optimality for embedded agents (so the expectimax tree definition of AIXI cannot be easily extended to handle embeddedness). On top of that, "any" environment "containing" AIXI is at the wrong computability level for a member of M: our best upper bound on AIXI's computability level is Δ02 = limit-computable (for an ε-approximation) instead of the Σ01 level of its environment class. Reflective oracles can fix this but at the moment there does not seem to be a canonical reflective oracle, so there remains a family of equally valid reflective versions of AIXI without an objective favorite. However, in my conversations with Marcus Hutter (the inventor of AIXI) he has always insisted AIXI would not drop an anvil on its head, because Cartesian dualism is not a problem for humans in the real world, who historically believed in a metaphysical soul and mostly got along fine anyway. But when humans stick electrodes in our brains, we can observe changed behavior and deduce that our cognition is physical - would this kind of experiment allow AIXI to make the same discovery? Though we could not agree on this for some time, we eventually discovered the crux: we were actually using slightly different definitions for how AIXI should behave off-policy. In particular, let ξAI be the belief distribution of AIXI. More explicitly, I will not attempt a formal definition here. The only thing we need to know is that M is a set of environments which AIXI considers possible. AIXI interacts with an environment by sending it a sequence of actions a1,a2,... in exchange for a sequence of percepts containing an observation and reward e1=o1r1,e2=o2r2,... so that action at precedes percept et. One neat property of AIXI is that its choice of M satisfies ξAIM (this trick is inherited with minor changes from the construction of Solomonoff's universal distribution). Now let Vπμ be a (discounted) value function for policy π interacting with environment μ, which is the expected sum of discounted rewards obtained by π. We can define the AIXI agent as By the Bellman equations, this also specifies AIXI's behavior on any history it can produce (all finite percept strings have nonzero probability under ξAI). However, it does not tell us how AIXI behaves when the history includes actions it would not have chosen. In that case, the natural extension is so that AIXI continues to act optimally (with respect to its updated belief distribution) even when some suboptimal actions have previously been taken. The philosophy of this extension is that AIXI acts exactly as if...

Amina (Amina) es un relato de vampiros del escritor norteamericano Edward Lucas White (1866-1934), escrito en 1906 y publicado originalmente edición del 1 de junio de 1907 de la revista The Bellman. Más adelante formaría parte de la antología de 1927: Lukundoo y otros relatos (Lukundoo and Other Stories); y desde entonces sería reeditado en numerosas colecciones, entre ellas: Los durmientes y los muertos (The Sleeping and the Dead) y El libro negro del hombre lobo (The Black Book of the Werewolf). Amina, uno de los grandes cuentos de Edward Lucas White [escrito sobre la base de un poema anterior: La Ghoula (The Ghoula)], relata la historia de Waldo, un joven de Maine que se aleja de su campamento en el desierto persa. Es ayudado por una extraña mujer, llamada Amina, que habita en una antigua tumba con sus hijos, muchos hijos, una verdadera jauría de pequeños Ghouls hambrientos [ver: Razas de vampiros] ¡¡¡¡¡SPOILERS!!!!! Amina de Edward Lucas White relata la historia de Waldo, un joven aventurero de Rhode Island que emprende un viaje al interior de Persia bajo la protección de un cónsul, presumiblemente estadounidense. A pesar de la advertencia del cónsul, Waldo se separa de su grupo y se encuentra con una mujer de aspecto inusual, exótico, llamada Amina. Ella lleva el rostro descubierto, sin adornos, lo cual ya es extraño en aquellas tierras, pero no tanto como su excepcional musculatura y las largas uñas, como garras, que crecen en sus pies. Amina, inesperadamente, habla inglés [«aunque apenas mueve los labios»]. No es cristiana, ni musulmana, sino que afirma pertenecer al «Pueblo Libre», sobre el cual se abstiene de brindar mayores comentarios. Amina le ofrece refugio a nuestro protagonista, sediento y desorientado, que resulta ser una tumba en ruinas, muy antigua, habitada por numerosos niños deformes. Eventualmente, Edward Lucas White revela que Amina es un Ghoul, y que aquellos niños son su última camada de crías [ver: Danny Glick y los niños-vampiro de Stephen King] Finalmente, el cónsul intercede y dispara a Amina dos veces. Cuando Waldo lo acusa de asesinar a una mujer, el cónsul le señala el cuerpo tendido en el suelo de la tumba, el cual revela todas las características de esta temible raza del folclore árabe: los Ghouls [ver: Ghouls: la historia secreta de los Necrófagos en la ficción] Edward Lucas White introduce varias innovaciones en Amina. Por ejemplo, enfatiza la naturaleza salvaje de los Ghouls, pero sin mencionar sus hábitos como necrófagos, y los reduce a una rareza zoológica, como si se trataran de una versión degradada del ser humano. En definitiva, los clasifica como una amenaza temporal, no espiritual, y lo hace a través de la fuerte atracción sexual que Waldo siente hacia Amina. Resulta inevitable citar la historia de Sidi Nouman, de Las mil y una noches, como fuente de inspiración para el relato. Allí, la novia de Sidi, llamada Amina, resulta ser un Ghoul. Al darse cuenta de que ella evita comer en varias ocasiones, Sidi Nouman finge dormir y, en medio de la noche, la sigue hasta un cementerio abandonado. Allí la sorprende sentada en una tumba con una manada de pequeños y hambrientos Ghouls dándose un festín macabro con un cadáver. Evidentemente, la Amina de Edward Lucas White es la misma que la de Las mil y una noches; de hecho, en el relato, Waldo reconoce su nombre de Las mil y una noches, pero ella responde que los del Pueblo Libre [los Ghouls] «no saben nada de tales locuras». Si bien es un relato muy breve, con escasa caracterización, el personaje de Amina exhibe una profundidad que me impresionó. Por supuesto, se trata de un Ghoul que se alimenta de viajeros desprevenidos y, en épocas de escasez, de cadáveres; pero su accionar, de algún modo, su naturaleza maternal [tiene una gran camada que alimentar], la vuelve sumamente terrenal, casi como una leona que caza para sus cachorros. Definitivamente es una de las vampiresas más agradables que he conocido [ver: La maternidad fallida en «Drácula»] La historia de Amina es recurrente en el relato de terror. Por ejemplo, Clark Ashton Smith ambienta su historia de 1934: El Ghoul (The Ghoul), durante el reinado del califa Vathek; y narra la historia de un joven que realiza un pacto con un Ghoul para asegurarse de que el cadáver de su difunta esposa, llamada Amina [que aquí no es un necrófago sino su posible cena], no sea profanado. Uno de los cuentos favoritos de H.P. Lovecraft [aunque no lo menciona en su ensayo El horror sobrenatural en la literatura a pesar de su evidente influencia en su propia obra] es Amina. Sin embargo, se refirió al autor en términos elogiosos: [Muy notables, a su manera, son algunas de las extrañas concepciones del novelista y cuentista Edward Lucas White, la mayoría de cuyos temas surgen de sueños reales. El Sr. White imparte una cualidad muy peculiar a sus cuentos: una especie de glamour oblicuo que tiene su propio tipo distintivo de convencimiento.] Podemos observar claramente la influencia de Amina en la ficción de Lovecraft a través de la naturaleza canina de los Ghouls de Edward Lucas White: [Waldo sintió náuseas. Lo que vio no fue el frente de una mujer, sino más bien la parte inferior de un viejo fox-terrier con cachorros, o de una cerda blanca, con su segunda camada; desde la clavícula hasta la ingle, diez ubres colgantes, dos filas mutiladas, fibrosas y flácidas.] H.P. Lovecraft parece haberse inspirado en este modelo canino del Ghoul de Edward Lucas White para sus propios necrófagos en El modelo de Pickman (Pickman's Model) [ver: De la luz a la oscuridad: psicología de «El modelo de Pickman»]. Así relata el narrador un cuadro del artista maldito, titulado: La lección (The Lesson), cuyas conclusiones coinciden con las de Edward Luchas White en cuanto a la similitud, incluso a un posible vínculo genético, entre los Ghouls y los Humanos: [Imagina un círculo de cosas parecidas a perros, en cuclillas, enseñándole a un niño humano a alimentarse como ellos. Ya conoces el viejo mito de los Changelings, supongo. Pickman estaba mostrando lo que les sucede a esos bebés robados, cómo crecen, y luego comencé a ver una relación horrible en los rostros de las figuras humanas y no humanas. Estaba, en todas sus gradaciones de morbosidad, entre lo no humano y lo degradadamente humano, estableciendo un vínculo y una evolución sardónica. ¡Las cosas caninas se desarrollaron a partir de mortales!] Los Ghouls de Edward Lucas White y Lovecraft influyeron poderosamente en Los moradores debajo de las tumbas (The Dwellers Under the Tomb) de Robert E. Howard, donde la relación entre los Ghouls y los Humanos continúa. Para Edward Lucas White, estas criaturas son una antigua raza que habita en un mundo de engaño, en las fronteras de nuestra realidad física. Para Lovecraft y Howard, son el producto de la decadencia genética, de la involución del ser humano que ha mutado en una bestia repugnante [ver: Los Perros de Tindalos y los ángulos del tiempo] Análisis de: El Espejo Gótico http://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2022/01/amina-edward-lucas-white-relato-y.html Texto del relato extraído de: http://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2022/01/amina-edward-lucas-white-relato-y.html Musicas: - 01.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A case for AI alignment being difficult, published by Jessica Taylor on December 31, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. This is an attempt to distill a model of AGI alignment that I have gained primarily from thinkers such as Eliezer Yudkowsky (and to a lesser extent Paul Christiano), but explained in my own terms rather than attempting to hew close to these thinkers. I think I would be pretty good at passing an ideological Turing test for Eliezer Yudowsky on AGI alignment difficulty (but not AGI timelines), though what I'm doing in this post is not that, it's more like finding a branch in the possibility space as I see it that is close enough to Yudowsky's model that it's possible to talk in the same language. Even if the problem turns out to not be very difficult, it's helpful to have a model of why one might think it is difficult, so as to identify weaknesses in the case so as to find AI designs that avoid the main difficulties. Progress on problems can be made by a combination of finding possible paths and finding impossibility results or difficulty arguments. Most of what I say should not be taken as a statement on AGI timelines. Some problems that make alignment difficult, such as ontology identification, also make creating capable AGI difficult to some extent. Defining human values If we don't have a preliminary definition of human values, it's incoherent to talk about alignment. If humans "don't really have values" then we don't really value alignment, so we can't be seriously trying to align AI with human values. There would have to be some conceptual refactor of what problem even makes sense to formulate and try to solve. To the extent that human values don't care about the long term, it's just not important (according to the values of current humans) how the long-term future goes, so the most relevant human values are the longer-term ones. There are idealized forms of expected utility maximization by brute-force search. There are approximations of utility maximization such as reinforcement learning through Bellman equations, MCMC search, and so on. I'm just going to make the assumption that the human brain can be well-modeled as containing one or more approximate expected utility maximizers. It's useful to focus on specific branches of possibility space to flesh out the model, even if the assumption is in some ways problematic. Psychology and neuroscience will, of course, eventually provide more details about what maximizer-like structures in the human brain are actually doing. Given this assumption, the human utility function(s) either do or don't significantly depend on human evolutionary history. I'm just going to assume they do for now. I realize there is some disagreement about how important evopsych is for describing human values versus the attractors of universal learning machines, but I'm going to go with the evopsych branch for now. Given that human brains are well-modeled as containing one or more utility functions, either they're well-modeled as containing one (perhaps which is some sort of monotonic function of multiple other score functions), or it's better to model them as multiple. See shard theory. The difference doesn't matter for now, I'll keep both possibilities open. Eliezer proposes "boredom" as an example of a human value (which could either be its own shard or a term in the utility function). I don't think this is a good example. It's fairly high level and is instrumental to other values. I think "pain avoidance" is a better example due to the possibility of pain asymbolia. Probably, there is some redundancy in the different values (as there is redundancy in trained neural networks, so they still perform well when some neurons are lesioned), which is part of why I don't agree with the fragility of value thesis as stated by Yudkowsky.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Possible OpenAI's Q* breakthrough and DeepMind's AlphaGo-type systems plus LLMs, published by Burny on November 23, 2023 on LessWrong. tl;dr: OpenAI leaked AI breakthrough called Q*, acing grade-school math. It is hypothesized combination of Q-learning and A*. It was then refuted. DeepMind is working on something similar with Gemini, AlphaGo-style Monte Carlo Tree Search. Scaling these might be crux of planning for increasingly abstract goals and agentic behavior. Academic community has been circling around these ideas for a while. https://www.reuters.com/technology/sam-altmans-ouster-openai-was-precipitated-by-letter-board-about-ai-breakthrough-2023-11-22/ https://twitter.com/MichaelTrazzi/status/1727473723597353386 "Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's four days in exile, several staff researchers sent the board of directors a letter warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity Mira Murati told employees on Wednesday that a letter about the AI breakthrough called Q* (pronounced Q-Star), precipitated the board's actions. Given vast computing resources, the new model was able to solve certain mathematical problems. Though only performing math on the level of grade-school students, acing such tests made researchers very optimistic about Q*'s future success." https://twitter.com/SilasAlberti/status/1727486985336660347 "What could OpenAI's breakthrough Q* be about? It sounds like it's related to Q-learning. (For example, Q* denotes the optimal solution of the Bellman equation.) Alternatively, referring to a combination of the A* algorithm and Q learning. One natural guess is that it is AlphaGo-style Monte Carlo Tree Search of the token trajectory. It seems like a natural next step: Previously, papers like AlphaCode showed that even very naive brute force sampling in an LLM can get you huge improvements in competitive programming. The next logical step is to search the token tree in a more principled way. This particularly makes sense in settings like coding and math where there is an easy way to determine correctness. https://twitter.com/mark_riedl/status/1727476666329411975 "Anyone want to speculate on OpenAI's secret Q* project? Something similar to tree-of-thought with intermediate evaluation (like A*)? Monte-Carlo Tree Search like forward roll-outs with LLM decoder and q-learning (like AlphaGo)? Maybe they meant Q-Bert, which combines LLMs and deep Q-learning Before we get too excited, the academic community has been circling around these ideas for a while. There are a ton of papers in the last 6 months that could be said to combine some sort of tree-of-thought and graph search. Also some work on state-space RL and LLMs." https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/22/23973354/a-recent-openai-breakthrough-on-the-path-to-agi-has-caused-a-stir OpenAI spokesperson Lindsey Held Bolton refuted it: "refuted that notion in a statement shared with The Verge: "Mira told employees what the media reports were about but she did not comment on the accuracy of the information."" https://www.wired.com/story/google-deepmind-demis-hassabis-chatgpt/ Google DeepMind's Gemini, that is currently the biggest rival with GPT4, which was delayed to the start of 2024, is also trying similar things: AlphaZero-based MCTS through chains of thought, according to Hassabis. Demis Hassabis: "At a high level you can think of Gemini as combining some of the strengths of AlphaGo-type systems with the amazing language capabilities of the large models. We also have some new innovations that are going to be pretty interesting." https://twitter.com/abacaj/status/1727494917356703829 Aligns with DeepMind Chief AGI scientist Shane Legg saying: "To do really creative problem solving you need to start searching." https://twitter.com/iamgingertrash/status/1727482695356494132 "...

In the shadowed corners of the Victorian era, death wasn't just an event; it was an art form. Wrapped in layers of ritual and superstition, Victorian funeral customs created an eerie dance with the departed. From post-mortem photographs where the deceased posed eerily alive, to mourning jewelry crafted from the hair of the lost, every tradition was steeped in significance. The mourners, draped in black crepe, observed strict mourning periods, their attire shifting in subtle ways as time passed. Whispered tales told of spirits communicating through seances, while ornate headstones and crypts ensured the dead were memorialized in grandeur. Dive deep into the chilling world of Victorian mourning practices, where the boundaries between life and death were delicately blurred. Dive in… if you dare. Music: Ghostpocalypse – 6 Crossing the Threshold by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Novel mentioned: Bellman and Black by Diane Setterfield https://www.dianesetterfield.com/books/bellman-and-black/Keywords: Victorian era, funeral customs, mourning rituals, post-mortem photography, seances, mourning jewelry.Support the showBecome a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fabledcollective

Before republishing quotes, we ask that you reference the audio. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in, and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. I am so excited for this episode. If you are watching us on Travel Media Group's, YouTube channel, you know that we are here live on location. This is the first time ever we've been live on location. We're very excited. We've got this brand new Suite Spot: Spotlight series. We just had our first episode, but the first time that we're doing it live on location, and we have such a great guest and property that we're gonna be showcasing on this Spotlight series. Without further ado, let me bring him in. Simon Sopresi of the SLS South Beach, Vice President of Ennismore - Miami, Mexico, and South America. Simon, welcome to the Suite Spot for the first time. Simon Sorpresi : Thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure and it's great to host you and your team here at SLS South Beach. Ryan Embree: My breath was taken away when we came in through these doors. You have a beautiful property here at the SLS South Beach. It really truly embodies the spirit of this series. We are going around the country trying to find and showcase the hotel's most unique and historic in the nation. Yeah, and I think that SLS certainly fits the bill, but before we start talking about the property, it's always interesting to talk to another person in hospitality because, we know everyone's story's different, right? You could start as a Bellman at a hotel like myself. Some people are literally born into the industry. Some people just fall into it just by choice. So tell us a little bit about your story, and what led you to Ennismore? Simon Sorpresi : Whoa. Okay. Uh, let me try to keep it short. So first of all, it's a pleasure to have you here. As you can hear, I'm not originally from the States. I still have a very thick accent. I tried to get rid of it, which I'm clearly not mastering it, but was very interesting. I studied national construction architecture back in Europe and fell through an excursion from that architectural school in hotels, fell kind of in love with hotels. And I was like, oh my God, that's really kind of unique. There was a gentleman called Uli Prager. He was the founder of Mervin Pick, the brand. And he did the tour and he was very charismatic. He could speak about the thread counts of the linen to how to wash pots and pans. I mean, he knew it all. And as a young person, young professional, I was really, really, I think wowed by him. And said, I wanna become him. And so that's where, how it came about. Did the hotel management school in Switzerland, worked all different disciplines of the hotel. Worked very heavy in food and beverage, specialized myself in food and beverage, had my own company in Europe and said, I wanna learn English and ultimately move to New York City after a saltic business. Moved to New York City, had my own business in New York, mostly in nightlife and art galleries. And then did that for seven years and went back to the roots of hospitality in luxury segmentation in Los Angeles. And I came here at SLS South Beach is the reason why it was such a tempting thing for me,
