BT and Sal ripped into the broadcast calls for Pete Alonso's record-breaking home run, focusing on what they felt was a pre-meditated, scripted call from SNY's Gary Cohen. BT argued that the "on his own private iceberg" line was "corny," a sentiment that Sal, despite his affection for Cohen, seemed to agree with. The duo contrasted the TV call with the radio broadcast, praising Keith Hernandez's more organic and fiery reaction. They also dove into a historic Yankees call by John Sterling, and the awkward moment when his partner Charlie Steiner interjected, highlighting the difference between a great, unscripted call and one that feels manufactured.

Sal and BT dove into the world of iconic home run calls, prompted by a discussion of Gary Cohen's "on his own private iceberg" line for Pete Alonso's record-breaking home run. The conversation took a fiery turn when they brought in the legendary John Sterling, who revealed the shocking backstory behind the famous Aaron Boone walk-off home run call. Sterling recounted his frustration when his then-partner Charlie Steiner called the home run and then "jumped in" on his signature "Yankees win!" call, a move that Sterling claims Steiner admitted he "always wanted to do." The exchange shed light on the often-fierce, competitive world of sports broadcasting and the deep-seated rivalries that can exist behind the mic.

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: Humans aren't fleeb., published by Charlie Steiner on January 24, 2024 on LessWrong. In the oceans of the planet Water, a species of intelligent squid-like aliens - we'll just call them the People - debate about what it means to be fleeb. Fleeb is a property of great interest to the People, or at least they think so, but they also have a lot of trouble defining it. They're fleeb when they're awake, but less fleeb or maybe not fleeb at all when they're asleep. Some animals that act clever are probably somewhat fleeb, and other animals that are stupid and predictable probably aren't fleeb. But fleeb isn't just problem-solving ability, because philosophers of the People have written of hypothetical alien lifeforms that could be good at solving problems without intuitively being fleeb. Instead, the idea of "fleeb" is more related to how much a Person can see a reflection of their own thinking in the processes of the subject. A look-up table definitely isn't fleeb. But how much of the thinking of the People do you need to copy to be more fleeb than their pet cuttlefish-aliens? Do you need to store and recall memories? Do you need emotions? Do you need to make choices? Do you need to reflect on yourself? Do you need to be able to communicate, maybe not with words, but modeling other creatures around you as having models of the world and choosing actions to honestly inform them? Yes to all of these, say the People. These are important things to them about their thinking, and so important for being fleeb. In fact, the People go even farther. A simple abacus can store memories if "memories" just means any record of the past. But to be fleeb, you should store and recall memories more in the sense that People do it. Similar for having emotions, making choices, etc. So the People have some more intuitions about what makes a creature fleeb: You should store and recall visual/aural/olfactory/electrosensory memories in a way suitable for remembering them both from similar sensory information and abstract reasoning, and these memories should be bundled with metadata like time and emotional valence. Your tactile/kinesthetic memories should be opaque to abstract reasoning (perhaps distributed in your limbs, as in the People), but can be recalled-in-the-felt-way from similar sensory information. It's hard to tell if you have emotions unless you have ones recognizable and important to the People. For the lowest levels of fleeb, it's enough to have a general positive emotion (pleasure) and a general negative one (pain/hunger). But to be fleeb like the People are, you should also have emotions like curiosity, boredom, love, just-made-a-large-change-to-self-regulation-heuristics, anxiety, working-memory-is-full, and hope. You should make choices similar to how the People do. Primed by your emotional state, you should use fast heuristics to reconfigure your cognitive pathway so you call on the correct resources to make a good plan. Then you quickly generate some potential actions and refine them until taking the best one seems better than not acting. Etc. When the People learned about humans, it sparked a lively philosophical debate. Clearly humans are quite clever, and have some recognizable cognitive algorithms, in the same way an AI using two different semantic hashes is "remembering" in a more fleeb-ish way than an abacus is. But compare humans to a pet cuttlefish-alien - even though the pet cuttlefish-alien can't solve problems as well, it has emotions us humans don't have even a dim analogue of, and overall has a more similar cognitive architecture to the People. Some brash philosophers of the People made bold claims that humans were fleeb, and therefore deserved full rights immediately. But cooler heads prevailed; despite outputting clever text signals, humans were just too different...

The best of nearly 100 interviews in “Tell me a story I don't know” is really a personal choice. I've featured so many guests in best of 9 seasons but in this finale I thought it might be worthy to have you listen to some thought provoking, funny and poignant moments. And not the least of them came from two people who left us. Dave Wills, the ever popular voice of the Tampa Rays and a Chicago native died last March of a heart ailment. He was only 58.Alan Schwartz was 91 but full of vim and vigor. He was once president of the United States Tennis Association and builder of Mid Town tennis in 1970 and for nearly 50 years, the largest indoor facility in the U.S. Schwartz died in December of 2022, just three days after we had our semi annual lunch. I was crushed when I learned of both of their passings.The best of also includes an almost hard to believe story from Los Angeles Dodgers play by play voice Charlie Steiner how history repeated itself. Cheryl Ray Stout, long time reporter and trailblazer here in Chicago recounted how she broke the story of Michael Jordan leaving basketball for baseball and then, returning to the Bulls!Cubs radio voice Ron Coomer remembered as a child how he refused to trade baseball gloves with a future hall of famer and how could I not include Brent Musburger, my inspiration back when I was a 14 year old entertaining thoughts of getting into the business. After spending a half century plying my trade, I thanked him publicly. It was all worth it.“Tell me a story I don't know" is sponsored by Mr. Duct and “Tell me a story I don't know: conversations with Chicago sports legends” is now available on Amazon Books and at chicago area book stores.It's been a great run of "Tell me story I don't know" with a special two part podcast coming up!

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: Neural uncertainty estimation for alignment, published by Charlie Steiner on December 5, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Introduction Suppose you've built some AI model of human values. You input a situation, and it spits out a goodness rating. You might want to ask: "What are the error bars on this goodness rating?" In addition to it just being nice to know error bars, an uncertainty estimate can also be useful inside the AI: guiding active learning[1], correcting for the optimizer's curse[2], or doing out-of-distribution detection[3]. I recently got into the uncertainty estimation literature for neural networks (NNs) for a pet reason: I think it would be useful for alignment to quantify the domain of validity of an AI's latent features. If we point an AI at some concept in its world-model, optimizing for realizations of that concept can go wrong by pushing that concept outside its domain of validity. But just keep thoughts of alignment in your back pocket for now. This post is primarily a survey of the uncertainty estimation literature, interspersed with my own takes. The Bayesian neural network picture The Bayesian NN picture is the great granddaddy of basically every uncertainty estimation method for NNs, so it's appropriate to start here. The picture is simple. You start with a prior distribution over parameters. Your training data is evidence, and after training on it you get an updated distribution over parameters. Given an input, you calculate a distribution over outputs by propagating the input through the Bayesian neural network. This would all be very proper and irrelevant ("Sure, let me just update my 2trilliondimensional joint distribution over all the parameters of the model"), except for the fact that actually training NNs does kind of work this way. If you use a log likelihood loss and L2 regularization, the parameters that minimize loss will be at the peak of the distribution that a Bayesian NN would have, if your prior on the parameters was a Gaussian[4][5]. This is because of a bridge between the loss landscape and parameter uncertainty. Bayes's rule says P(parameters|dataset)=P(parameters)P(dataset|parameters)/P(dataset). Here P(parameters|dataset)is your posterior distribution you want to estimate, and P(parameters)P(dataset|parameters) is the exponential of the loss[6]. This lends itself to physics metaphors like "the distribution of parameters is a Boltzmann distribution sitting at the bottom of the loss basin." Empirically, calculating the uncertainty of a neural net by pretending it's adhering to the Bayesian NN picture works so well that one nice paper on ensemble methods[7] called it "ground truth." Of course to actually compute anything here you have to make approximations, and if you make the quick and dirty approximations (e.g. pretend you can find the shape of the loss basin from the Hessian) you get bad results[8], but people are doing clever things with Monte Carlo methods these days[9], and they find that better approximations to the Bayesian NN calculation get better results. But doing Monte Carlo traversal of the loss landscape is expensive. For a technique to apply at scale, it must impose only a small multiplier on cost to run the model, and if you want it to become ubiquitous the cost it imposes must be truly tiny. Ensembles A quite different approach to uncertainty is ensembles[10]. Just train a dozen-ish models, ask them for their recommendations, and estimate uncertainty from the spread. The dozen-times cost multiplier on everything is steep, but if you're querying the model a lot it's cheaper than Monte Carlo estimation of the loss landscape. Ensembling is theoretically straightforward. You don't need to pretend the model is trained to convergence, you don't need to train specifically for predictive loss, you don't even need...
