You have to fast, do a lot of dietary interventions, or work out to make your body turn its own fat reserves into ketones. In ketogenesis, your liver has to convert fat stores, it takes a long time. You can get really good at it and get you natural ketones up in 18-24 hours. If you're a carb-eater, you're going to take multiple days, and you're going to get keto flu because your body has to readapt its enzymes and all of its metabolism to focus on being a fat burner. But if you can have a drinkable ketone, you skip that conversion step. So you can have something that you directly consume that gives you ATP but it's not protein, fat, or carbohydrate. - Geoffrey Woo Live Life Well from Sunrise to Sunset Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Superfoods brand, ORGANIFI, including their Sunrise to Sunset Bundle and their Women's Power Stack that includes HARMONY + GLOW for true hormonal balance and great health radiating through your beautiful skin.

Power Quotes From The Show Exogenous Ketones "You hear about people bonking out when they're doing marathons or bike rides. You're eating sugar but at a certain point, your body doesn't digest the sugar quickly enough so you bonk out, and your muscles freak out. The way I look at exogenous ketones is that we want this specific signal to happen at this specific time that would not normally be achievable by a diet. It's a metabolism tool to turn fasting or keto diet on for you now while having other substrates." - Geoffrey Woo Glucose, Ketones + Ancestral Wisdom "A lot of early research saw that ketones were looking like a very good replacement for glucose. We don't just go brain-dead when we run out of stored glucose for glycogen. It's very clear that when we were hunter-gatherers, we were not just constantly having sugar bombs in our pockets. These people would do multi-day endurance hunts. In some sense, we almost forgot that ancestral wisdom." - Geoffrey Woo Plant Medicine Ceremony with Ketone Supplements "I've heard a very interesting combination synergy with ayahuasca plant medicine with ketones. There's fasting, purging, and a very clean diet. You're essentially getting the ketogenic state. In a plant ceremony, all these neurons are firing, you need energy, and you need substrate to fuel all that neurotransmitter release. Ketones are very efficient to fuel the power of all of those synapse firing." - Geoffrey Woo Links From Today's Show H.V.M.N - 20% off with code "JOSH" 431 David Wolfe | Freedom Over Fear: Jing Energy, Detoxification & How To Have Balance Kevin Kelly 365 Dr. Paul Saladino | Your Guide To The Carnivore Diet: The Myths of Eating Meat & Plants Jake Paul The Truman Show 532 Molly Maloof MD: The Spark Factor | Biohacking For Women Micheal Brandt Andrew Huberman Dr. Dan Engle Bulletproof Coffee H.V.M.N on Shark Tank Michael Pollan 23andMe SaunaSpace - 10% off using code "JOSH10" Paul Chek: All Is God Shop the Wellness Force Media Store Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' breathwork.io SEED - Save 35% with the code "JOSH" BON CHARGE - Save 15% with the code "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - Save 20% with the code "JOSH20" SpectraSculpt - Save 15% with "JOSH15" Cured Nutrition CBD - Save 20% with the CODE "WELLNESSFORCE" PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" HVMN - Get 20% off your Ketone IQ order with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" ActivationProducts – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness + Wisdom Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts Geoffrey Woo H.V.M.N Instagram Facebook Twitter About Geoffrey Woo Geoffrey Woo is an entrepreneur and investor.

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: Inference Speed is Not Unbounded, published by OMN on May 8, 2023 on LessWrong. [The intro of this post has been lightly edited since it was first posted to address some comments. I have also changed the title to better reflect my core argument. My apologies if that is not considered good form.] This post will be a summary of some of my ideas on what intelligence is, the processes by which it's created, and a discussion of the implications. Although I prefer to remain pseudonymous, I do have a PhD in Computer Science and I've done AI research at both Amazon and Google Brain. I spent some time tweaking the language in order to minimize how technical you need to be to read it. There is a recurring theme I've seen in discussions about AI where people express incredulity about neural networks as a method for AGI since they require so much "more data" than humans to train. On the other hand, I see some people discussing superintelligences that make impossible inferences given virtually no input data, positing AI that will instantly do inconceivable amounts of processing. Both of these very different arguments are making statements about learning speed, and in my opinion mischaracterize what learning actually looks like. My basic argument is that the there are probably mathematical limits on how fast it is possible to learn. This means, for instance, that training an intelligent system will always take more data and time than might initially seem necessary. What I'm arguing is that intelligence isn't magic - the inferences a system makes have to come from somewhere. They have to be built, and they have to be built sequentially. The only way you get to skip steps, and the only reason intelligence exists at all, is that it is possible to reuse knowledge that came from somewhere else. Three Apples and a Blade of Grass Because I think it makes a good jumping off point, I'm going to start by framing this around a recent discussion I saw around a years-old quote from Yudowsky about superintelligence: A Bayesian superintelligence, hooked up to a webcam, would invent General Relativity as a hypothesis . by the time it had seen the third frame of a falling apple. It might guess it from the first frame, if it saw the statics of a bent blade of grass. The linked post does a good job tearing this down. It correctly points out that there are basically an infinite number of possible universes, and three frames of an apple dropping are not nearly enough to conclude you exist in ours. I might even argue that the author still overstates the degree to which three images could reduce the number of universes in consideration; for instance the changing patterns on a falling apple don't actually tell you it's in a 3D world, that would require you to understand how light interacts with objects. Still, I do think the author successfully explains why, at a literal level, EY's statement is wrong. But at a deeper level, this entire framing still feels very off to me, as if even asking that question is making a category error. It feels like everyone is asking what the number three ate for breakfast. It suggests that one could have a system that is simultaneously superintelligent but has absolutely no knowledge about the world at all. Knowing what we now know about intelligence, I just don't think that's possible. And I don't just mean it's impractical, or we just aren't capable of building an AI like that. I mean that I believe with very high confidence that such a thing would be a mathematical impossibility. I think there's a human tendency to want a certain type of structure to intelligence, and I see this assumed a lot in places like this forum (I was a lurker before I made this account). There's a desire to see intelligence as synonymous with learning, where existing knowledge is something comple...

*Royal Truman, PhD: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Royal Truman to discuss creation, biology, information science and more! Royal is fluent in five languages and received bachelor's degrees in chemistry and computer science from SUNY Buffalo, an M.B.A from the University of Michigan, his PhD in organic chemistry from Michigan State, with post-graduate studies in bioinformatics at the universities of Mannheim and Heidelberg in Germany. Royal believes the God of Abraham created the universe, and that His Son Jesus Christ is the savior of the world. *Thomas Schneider's Ev: The Punchline: Many evolutionists refer to the work of Thomas Schneider and his Ev program's “proof” that useful information can arise without a creator. Dive into Dr. Truman's refutation of Dr, Schneider's alleged proof that new biological information can arise naturalistically. *Where did the evolutionists go wrong? In simulations they assume that if random mutations changed a protein and / or DNA patterns so that in rare cases they facilitated binding at 1 site this would automatically be selected for! They have this backward. Natural selection would act against finding new binding sites during the non-functional generations. First, statistically virtually all random bindings would be in the wrong places. This messes up the system, creates errors, and wastes resources since proteins could otherwise be used for something useful. Therefore, the competing organisms missing this junk would be better off. Being more fit they would out-populate those doing wasteful nonsense. Correct binding location per se does nothing. If a codon would attach to the right part of the tRNA (the anti-codon region, very unlikely) nothing would happen. ✓ Binding sites need a whole complex machinery to process the code represented by the binding site. Like ribosomes. Or DNA polymerases in the case of genes. ✓ After a transcription factor attaches to a DNA region, it recruits many of exactly the right partner proteins to perform a function. ✓ Often binding sites need to be carefully prepared. Enzymes edit them. Like tRNAs. Otherwise, the 3-nucleotide anti-codon region would not be recognized. New binding sites require new nanomachines which means more DNA (new genes) and more protein. ✓ This slows down the replication time of cells, costs time, energy and material. If a new binding site could arise through random mutations after millions of years, those cells would have long since gotten rid of what was significantly deleterious. Natural selection would work against creating even one new kind of binding site! *The Business of Science: Dr. Truman encourages Christians who have a passion for the sciences to pursue those passions faithfully! Industry needs, (and will hire) scientists who pursue the truth, (even aside from the espousing of the evolutionary worldview). *Chemistry & Computer Science: Hear how a knowledge of information science, in addition to chemistry is essential to understanding and unlocking the potential of binding sites, and why the information involved could not have arisen naturalistically.
The Real Truth About Health Free 17 Day Live Online Conference Podcast
Are Toxins From World War 2 Being Used In Our Water? Stephanie Seneff, PhD • https://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/ • Book - The Glyphosate Effect: How the World's Most Common Herbicide Is Undermining Your Health and What You Can Do About It #StephanieSeneff #Glyphosate #GutDybiosis #AutoImmunity Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and author of the recently published book; Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment. Dr Seneff presents mounting evidence that the active ingredient in the world's most commonly used weedkiller is contributing to skyrocketing rates of chronic disease. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, the most commonly used weedkiller in the world. Nearly 300 million pounds of glyphosate-based herbicide are sprayed on farms—and food—every year. Agrochemical companies claim that glyphosate is safe for humans, animals, and the environment. But emerging scientific research on glyphosate's deadly disruption of the gut microbiome, its crippling effect on protein synthesis, and its impact on the body's ability to use and transport sulfur—not to mention several landmark legal cases— tells a very different story. In Toxic Legacy, senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff, PhD, delivers compelling evidence based on countless published, peer-reviewed studies—all in frank, illuminating, and always accessible language. Throughout Toxic Legacy readers will discover:• The uniquely toxic nature of glyphosate• How glyphosate disrupts the microbiome, leading to gut dysbiosis, autoimmunity, neurodegeneration, and more• Why we're seeing a rise in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, infertility, depression, and anxiety• Glyphosate's role in soil degeneration, water contamination, and threats to wildlife and biodiversity• Important nutritional guidance for conscientious consumers who want to avoid glyphosate-contaminated foods and improve their health• Stephanie Seneff sounds the alarm on glyphosate, giving you guidance on simple, powerful changes you can make right now and essential information you need to protect your health, your family's health, and the planet on which we all depend. She received the B.S. degree in Biophysics, M.S. and E.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering and a Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science all from MIT. For over three decades, her research interests have always been at the intersection of biology and computation: developing a computational model for the human auditory system, understanding human language so as to develop algorithms and systems for human computer interactions, as well as applying natural language processing (NLP) techniques to gene predictions. She has published over 170 refereed articles on these subjects, and has been invited to give keynote speeches at several international conferences. She has also supervised numerous Master's and PhD theses at MIT. In 2012, Dr. Seneff was elected Fellow of the International Speech and Communication Association (ISCA). In recent years, Dr. Seneff has focused her research interests back towards biology. She is concentrating mainly on the relationship between nutrition and health. Since 2011, she has published over two dozen papers in various medical and health-related journals on topics such as modern day diseases (e.g., Alzheimer, autism, cardiovascular diseases), analysis and search of databases of drug side effects using NLP techniques, and the impact of nutritional deficiencies and environmental toxins on human health.

James Brady, Head of Engineering at Ought.org and one of the impressive signatories on the open letter to "pause Giant AI Experiments" (in addition to: Elon Musk and some other notable minds and leaders in society including: Steve Wozniak, Co-founder, Apple Andrew Yang, Forward Party, Co-Chair, Presidential Candidate 2020, NYT Bestselling Author, Presidential Ambassador of Global Entrepreneurship Yoshua Bengio, Founder and Scientific Director at Mila, Turing Prize winner and professor at University of Montreal Stuart Russell, Berkeley, Professor of Computer Science, director of the Center for Intelligent Systems, and co-author of the standard textbook “Artificial Intelligence: a Modern Approach" Bart Selman, Cornell, Professor of Computer Science, past president of AAAI and 27559 other well known souls) helps us understand the many implications of AI, society and very importantly for us, Education. We spend more than the average time with James exploring his life as a son of teachers (who I truly admire), a Cambridge University grad and one of the earliest Y Combinator alumni. His thoughts are ones that I want to come back and listen to over and over again. I feel like the didactic impact from just this conversation is worth at least 3 or 8 listens to this one interview. I highly recommend contrasting it with Lex Fridman's interview of Sam Altman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Guz73e6fw) or even Guy Raz's interview with him (https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/hibt-lab-openai-sam-altman/id1150510297?i=1000580232536) or even Reid Hoffman's (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJIpx3KscY). I think Tim Ferris also did one with him at one point, but I can't find it to share. Please feel free to add it to the comments or anywhere you can. James is a fascinating perspective and this interview, I believe is possibly worth listening just as much as the 3 former ones -- just saying.
Millions of American high school students take Advanced Placement Courses and Exams every year. AP Courses are standardized, college-level classes that students can take in high school, ideally exposing them to the depth, breadth and intellectual rigor of content they'd encounter in the university. But the author of a new book argues that these courses and exams are instead shortchanging students out of the liberal arts education that the AP was initially founded to foster. We speak with Annie Abrams, high school English teacher and author of "Shortchanged: How Advanced Placement Cheats Students." In response to a request for comment, The College Board, the nonprofit that runs the Advanced Placement Program, wrote: The great strength of the AP Program is the community of talented, dedicated teachers who care about their students and feel passionate about their subjects. We hear from thousands of those teachers every year, and their insights help make AP more effective and more inspiring for students. Annie Abrams' Shortchanged offers one, limited view, constrained by Abrams' experience at a unique, highly selective high school. We find her examination of the AP Program not reflective of the experiences of the broader community of AP teachers and the students they serve. If she had consulted with any of the thousands of AP teachers educating across a variety of subjects, she would have found that students from all backgrounds can excel when they have the right preparation, a welcoming invitation, and a genuine sense of belonging. Teachers choose to take part in AP because they find that it helps students engage deeply in subjects as diverse as English Literature, Physics, Art History, and Computer Science. Educators and college professors work together to guide AP frameworks, create and score AP exams, and make thoughtful revisions to course content as different disciplines evolve. The AP Program facilitates that large-scale collaboration between K12 and higher education, creating a uniquely valuable experience for students. For schools across the country – urban and rural, large and small, well-resourced and economically struggling — AP provides a broad framework and a wealth of resources so that teachers at all levels can offer a college-level experience. AP frameworks are flexible by design so that teachers use their experience and creativity to expand and enhance the curricula. No two AP classes are alike, because they rely so thoroughly on the talent and commitment of individual teachers. AP allows hundreds of thousands of students to engage in college-level work, regardless of the schools they attend. It offers an opportunity to earn college credit in high school, helping students and families save money, and graduate on time. We're incredibly proud to support the teachers who make that possible.
Parallel Architecture is a theory of the mental representations involved in the language faculty. These representations are organized in three orthogonal dimensions or levels: phonology, syntax, and semantics, correlated with each other through interface links. Words are encoded in all three levels and serve as part of the interface between sound and meaning. In the representation of an entire sentence, the words are spread out across the combinatoriality of the three levels. An important requirement for a theory of language is that it must offer an account of how we can talk about what we see. It is proposed that conceptual structure in language interfaces with a level of physical space – which in turn interfaces with visual, haptic, and proprioceptive perception, and with the planning of action. Thus, the basic principles of the Parallel Architecture for language can be extended to major aspects of mental function.

Jess is the founder and executive chairman of inDinero, a business that runs thousands of companies' tax, accounting, and finance operations. She is also the Co-Founder and Chair of Astonishing Labs and founding partner of MahWay. This venture builder creates innovative, industry-changing billion-dollar businesses that improve the world. She earned her Associate of Arts from Bard College and her Bachelor's in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley. She is in the Harvard Business School President's Program and a Young President's Organization (YPO) member. She enjoys flying her commercial multi-engine pilot's license in her spare time with an instrument rating. She started her first business in high school and was has been on the cover of Inc Magazine and was recognized on both Inc. and Forbes Magazine's "30 under 30" superstar entrepreneurs. Her combined companies have a value of over one billion dollars.Show Notes: Jess's entrepreneurial journey started at 13 because she knew she "did not want to work for anyone else." She started a business to solve her own problem and then used it to solve others. Barnes and Noble was her first mentor as she was pulling books off the shelve to learn about business. She realized early how important it was to learn and grow and later get mentors and coaches to help her build her business. (11:45) Business got easier as it got larger and scaled. The hardships of the early days will not last forever. (14:30) Don't compare yourself to others...you are in competition with yourself. Focus on your "next step" and your journey! Jess likes the ratio of focusing 80% on the next 45 days, 10% on the next quarter, and 10% on the next one to five years out. (15:50) "People consistently overestimate what they can get done in the next 30 days but underestimate what they can achieve in five to ten years." (17:15) Entrepreneur communities are super important to support each other on your journey. (18:45) The real challenge is our mindset and attitude. Most entrepreneurs have an understanding of what needs to happen next. (24:25) The greatest growth comes from taking advantage of the latest trends! How are you going to leverage AI? (26:10) Time blocking is a productivity hack that people can use to accomplish more. Elon Musk does this. (30:00) What is the difference between the entrepreneurial vs. employee mindset? First, the biggest difference is you have to have a sense of ownership. Everything starts and ends with you. Second, you have to be optimistic at all times. This also bleeds over to your personal life. Third, you need to grow yourself constantly. How do you evolve as a person and leader? (32:15) "There is no such thing as work-life balance. As an entrepreneur, your business is part of you. You don't have spouse life or child life balance...they are a part of your life." (37:00) How do you have an optimistic attitude when things are going wrong and during a crisis? (41:00) If you have never taken a leap in your career or life, you are probably not pushing the boundaries enough. (43:00) When Jess moved from software to biotech, she knew it would be a ten-year investment and she had to be willing to be uncomfortable and start all over. Being an outsider allows you to see things that others may miss, push the boundaries, and be innovative. "The more you learn, the more you are able to learn new stuff and it becomes exponential." Examples are Steve Jobs and Elon Musk (48:00) Jess gives insights she has about the future based on her research and investments. (51:45) If Jess had the ability to give a State of the Union Address to the American people what would she say? If you enjoyed this episode, please follow us on Apple or Spotify and give us a review. That would be greatly appreciated!

Vocal learning is one of the most critical components of spoken language. It has only evolved several independent times among mammals and birds. Although all vocal learning species are distantly related and have closer relatives that are non-vocal learners, humans and the vocal learning birds have evolved convergent forebrain pathways that control song and speech imitation and production. Erich Jarvis presents an overview of the various biological hypothesis of what makes vocal learning and spoken language special, how it evolved, and what differs about the molecular and neural mechanisms compared to other behavioral traits.
