Simon Brind discusses concepts of Agency and Alibi in the creation of Larp and their connections to creating meaningful experiences for participants. In this talk he explores 'Agency' - the ability of an active participant in a story to make decisions that change the story in meaningful ways (and what that means for dramaturgy), 'Alibi' '- the idea that the participant experience can be designed in such a way that they can act or behave in ways that they would not normally act and 'Bleed' - the transfer of experience from participant to character or from character to participant.This talk was recorded at the Immersive Experience Network Summit in October 2024 and is supported by Arts Council England and our industry partners Illusion Design & Construct, Mance Communications, White Light, Deterministic, Immersif, d&b audiotechnik, Scene2, Little Lion Entertainment, Entourage, and Vista Insurance.Discover more content from IEN: https://immersiveexperience.network/articles/ Hosted on Acast.

Liam's Map is the sire of Grade 1 winners Basin, Hopeful S. (G1) and Arkansas Derby (G1), Colonel Liam, back-to-back editions of thePegasus World Cup Turf (G1) and Turf Classic S. (G1), Wicked Whisper, Frizette S. (G1) and Juju's Map, Alcibiades S. (G1).Not only do these top-level successes rank Liam's Map among the best young sires, it puts him alongside some of America's top stallions in history. Both Basin and Wicked Whisper hail from the first-crop of Liam's Map and since 1983, just eight other first-crop stallions have sired two Grade 1 winners, with only Danzig and Uncle Mo having sired both Grade 1 fillies and colts. An elite group of just five other stallions have sired winners of both the G1 Frizette and the G1 Hopeful—A.P. Indy, Storm Cat, Mr. Prospector, Bold Ruler, and Nasrullah.His success continued in 2024 with MGSWs Roses for Debra, Deterministic and Starting Over. Roses for Debra went on to top the Keeneland November Sale selling for $2,400,000. He saw 40 $150,000+ yearling sales, with a top price of $700,000.An $800,000 Keeneland September yearling, Liam's Map is out of the stakes-winning Trippi mare Miss Macy Sue, and is a half-brother to graded winner Not This Time and black-type winner Taylor S. Liam's Map's pedigree carries only one cross of Northern Dancer in the sixth generation, so his pedigree will be an ideal outcross for mares inbred to Northern Dancer. Since Liam's Map's pedigree largely consists of horses bred by or based on pedigrees of horses bred by John Nerud, it should also be beneficial to emphasize female families associated with Nerud other than Aspidistra.(UPDATED FEB 1, 2025)
Led by Richard (Technical and Artistic Director) and Erica Warp (Director of Neuroscience for Brainstorms), this talk investigates music, art, science and commercial realities to create viable immersive experiences at scale. Brainstorms is an immersive experience exploring the brain's response to music and featuring the work of Pink Floyd and Imogen Heap, debuted at Frameless in London over 4 weekends in June 2024.A hugely ambitious project for a very small team, with a breakneck schedule and very limited budget, the exhibition was executed flawlessly. But was it ‘successful', and how are we measuring that success?

Il teletrasporto è un concetto affascinante reso popolare da opere di fantascienza come Star Trek. A livello scientifico, il teletrasporto quantistico rappresenta l'avanguardia della ricerca in questo campo. Ma cos'è il teletrasporto e come funziona? Il teletrasporto quantistico sfrutta un fenomeno noto come entanglement quantistico, dove due particelle diventano interconnesse in modo tale che lo stato di una influenza istantaneamente lo stato dell'altra, indipendentemente dalla distanza. Questo processo, però, non trasporta fisicamente le particelle, ma trasferisce l'informazione sul loro stato quantistico da un punto all'altro. La spiegazione scientifica del teletrasporto quantistico è complessa e coinvolge l'uso di qubit, unità fondamentali dell'informazione quantistica. Abbiamo scoperto il teletrasporto quantistico grazie a esperimenti che hanno dimostrato come l'informazione quantistica possa essere trasferita, ma esistono ancora molte problematiche da risolvere. Ad esempio, la decoerenza quantistica può disturbare l'entanglement, rendendo il processo instabile. Il teletrasporto umano, come descritto nei film, non è ancora possibile. Le sfide principali includono la necessità di mappare e trasferire l'intera configurazione atomica di una persona, cosa attualmente oltre le nostre capacità tecnologiche. Anche se esiste davvero il teletrasporto quantistico, applicarlo a livello macroscopico è ancora un sogno lontano. In conclusione, mentre il teletrasporto quantistico offre una spiegazione affascinante e promettente, siamo ancora lontani dal realizzare il teletrasporto umano come lo conosciamo dai film. La scienza continua a esplorare queste frontiere, sperando di rendere possibile ciò che oggi sembra solo fantasia. FONTI - Barrett, M., Chiaverini, J., Schaetz, T. et al.

Free Will doesn't exist... or does it? Afterall, all of our decisions are impacted by the decisions right before... right? Philosophy may not be your strong suit but surely we simply come into existence and act on our needs and what's around us. It's nice to feel like we make decisions but surely we're just animals like the rest of the living organisms on this Earth, thus we have no free will.... right? Rabbi M.Z. Dubov has much more to say on this! Free will does exist even with G-d in the picture! Dubov highlights the part conscience and a freed mindset play in the understanding of our place in the universe. Chaz Volk, host of Bad Jew and someone who once believed there was no free will, takes a deep dive into Jewish philosophy. 00:00 Introduction 06:19 Paradigm shift 08:36 Discovering Jewish tradition 12:06 Realized free will concerns 13:54 Free will exists if a higher consciousness exists 18:28 Debate over free will among believers and atheists 23:46 Determinism vs. free will in Jewish philosophy 27:28 Einstein theory 29:00 Decisions result from inputs. 34:23 Universe is not synonymous with God. 36:58 Humans are thoughts in God's infinite consciousness 40:14 Deterministic existence nullifies genuine human experience 42:34 Universal love, independence, image of God 46:49 Realize you are a soul, not a body 49:39 Survival vs. Lifestyle 52:15 Conclusion About Rabbi M.Z. Dubov: Born in Minsk, Belarus, MZ grew up in Brooklyn in an immigrant family which fled the USSR due to antisemitism. He attended public school until enrolling in the Boston College Carroll School of Management, from which he graduated with a B.S. in Operations & Business Consulting. During his time at BC, he became heavily involved in Israeli Advocacy, co-founding “Eagles for Israel.” While running diplomatic and cultural events, MZ met Rabbi Chananel Weiner, a student of Rabbi Noach Weinberg zt”l (the founder of Aish). Rabbi Weiner opened MZ's eyes to the depth and beauty of his Jewish roots. After graduation and before jumping into the corporate world, MZ came to Aish to learn more and decided to stay, having found his calling in life. With seven years of Torah study under his belt, MZ received Rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Nachum Barowski and Rabbi Avigdor Nebenzahl. He acts as the Director of the FoundAISHons program, in which he teaches daily and serves as a mentor to students past and present. Rabbi MZ enjoys playing basketball, hiking, taking joyrides, listening to music, and teaching his kids about this wonderful world in which we live. He and his wife often host for Shabbat in their home in French Hill, Jerusalem. Connect with M.Z.

In a new pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh speaks with Jane Reed, director of life sciences at Linguamatics, an IQVIA company, to discuss some of the major barriers preventing researchers from accessing the data they need to advance drug discovery and development and address safety concerns – and just how AI technologies can assist.
Dino Scheidt is an AI Engineer, former CTO and Founder who works with Fortune 50s, Start-Ups, and Governments on Data Intelligence and AI Architectures. In this conversation, we explore the evolving landscape of AI with a particular focus on generative AI and its applications. Dino criticizes the concept of 'AI strategies,' arguing that AI should be seen as a tool rather than a strategy. Despite his initial skepticism towards generative AI, Dino acknowledges its potential, especially in transforming traditional value chains through AI-enabled communications. We also delve into the challenges and opportunities posed by non-deterministic systems, the concept of Data P&L, and the complexity of integrating generative AI into existing business operations. Dino wraps up the discussion by emphasizing the importance of lateral thinking and digital representation of business processes to leverage future AI innovations effectively.

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: (Approximately) Deterministic Natural Latents, published by johnswentworth on July 21, 2024 on LessWrong. Background: Natural Latents: The Math, Natural Latents: The Concepts, Why Care About Natural Latents?, the prototypical semantics use-case. This post does not assume that you've read all of those, or even any of them. Suppose I roll a biased die 1000 times, and then roll the same biased die another 1000 times. Then... Mediation: The first 1000 rolls are approximately independent of the second 1000 given the bias (to reasonable precision). Redundancy: I can estimate the die's bias (to reasonable precision) with high confidence from either the first or second 1000 rolls. The die's bias is therefore a natural latent, which means it has various nice properties. Minimality: The bias is the smallest summary of all the information about the first 1000 rolls relevant to the second 1000 (and vice-versa). Maximality: The bias is the largest piece of information which can be calculated from the first 1000 rolls and also can separately be calculated from the second 1000 rolls. Any other variable which satisfies the above properties must tell us (approximately) the same information about the die rolls as the bias. Furthermore, the bias is a(n approximate) deterministic natural latent: the die's bias (to reasonable precision) is approximately determined by[1] the first 1000 die rolls, and also approximately determined by the second 1000 die rolls. That implies one more nice property: Uniqueness: The bias is the unique-up-to(-approximate)-isomorphism latent which has the above properties, making it a natural Schelling point for communication between agents. We've proven all that before, mostly in Natural Latents: The Math (including the addendum added six months after the rest of the post). But it turns out that the math is a lot shorter and simpler, and easily yields better bounds, if we're willing to assume (approximate) determinism up-front. That does lose us some theoretical tools (notably the resampling construction), but it gives a cleaner foundation for our expected typical use cases (like e.g. semantics). The goal of this post is to walk through that math. Background Tool: Determinism in Diagrams We're going to use diagrammatic proofs, specifically using Bayes nets. But it's non-obvious how to express (approximate) determinism using Bayes nets, or what rules diagrams follow when determinism is involved, so we'll walk through that first. This diagram says that Y is (approximately) determined by X: Intuitively, the literal interpretation of the diagram is: X mediates between Y and Y, i.e. Y itself tells me nothing more about Y once I already know X. That only makes sense if X tells me everything there is to know about Y, i.e. Y is determined by X. In the approximate case, we express the approximation error of the diagram as a KL-divergence, same as usual: ϵDKL(P[X=x,Y=y,Y=y']||P[X=x]P[Y=y|X=x]P[Y=y'|X=x]) If you get confused later about what it means to have two copies of the same variable in a diagram, go back to that line; that's the definition of the approximation error of the diagram. (One way to view that definition: there's actually two variables Y and Y', but P says that Y and Y' always have the same value.) That approximation error simplifies: DKL(P[X=x,Y=y,Y=y']||P[X=x]P[Y=y|X=x]P[Y=y'|X=x]) =DKL(P[X=x,Y=y]I[y=y']||P[X=x]P[Y=y|X=x]P[Y=y'|X=x]) =x,y,y'P[X=x,Y=y]I[y=y'](log(P[X=x,Y=y]I[y=y'])log(P[X=x]P[Y=y|X=x]P[Y=y'|X=x])) =x,yP[X=x,Y=y](log(P[X=x,Y=y])log(P[X=x]P[Y=y|X=x]P[Y=y|X=x])) =x,yP[X=x,Y=y]log(P[Y=y|X=x]) =H(Y|X) So the diagram says Y is determined by X, and the approximation error of the diagram is the entropy H of Y given X - i.e. the number of bits required on average to specify Y once one already knows X. Very intuitive! The Dangly Bit Lemma Intuitiv...

Cate seemed to be fully entrenched on the default path — she had graduated from Yale and became the Supreme Court advocate on her way to becoming a partner in her law firm. But she didn't want to live the lives of the people around her. She pivoted hard, you could almost hear car brakes squeaking as she made the turn, and over a year she became the number one female poker player in the world. She later started art and perfume companies and led operations at Avlea — a pandemic medicine company. One might think she's simply a superhuman, and what she did is beyond the grasp of mere mortals, but Cate claims that agency is learnable and joins the podcast to tell us how.
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: Time complexity for deterministic string machines, published by alcatal on April 21, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. This was a project conducted during MATS 5.0 under the mentorship of Vanessa Kosoy and supported by a grant from BERI. It builds off the String Machines framework (and depends on the linked post for certain definitions), which models category-theoretic generalizations of finite-state transducers. The framework as it previously existed did not have representation-independent ways of bounding (analogues of) time complexity, or natural guarantees that output size would not grow exponentially in input size. We introduce "filtered" transducers, which operate on categories enriched over filtered sets (sets equipped with a function to a partially ordered monoid, where morphisms are functions respecting order), and then, restricting our attention to transducers with a finite state space, prove constraints on the time complexity growth and expressivity of string machines. Parameterizing complexity in string machines Filtered transducers Definition 1. The category FiltSet of filtered sets is the category such that an object is a tuple (S,degS), where S is a set and degS:SN is a function, a morphism f:(S,degS)(T,degT) is a function ST such that degT(f(s))degS(s) for all sS. We will generally refer to objects in FiltSet solely by the symbol corresponding to the underlying set going forward. One can observe that the identity function on a set S by definition satisfies degS(idS(s))=degS(s) for all sS and is thus a morphism in FiltSet. One can also observe that given f:ST and g:TV, degV(g(f(s)))degT(f(s))degS(s) for all sS, and therefore gf is also a morphism in FiltSet. Therefore, FiltSet is indeed a category. Definition 2. Given two objects S,TOb(FiltSet), we define their filtered product ST to be the set ST equipped with the function degST:STN satisfying degST(s,t)=degS(s)+degT(t) for all (s,t)ST. Given a morphism f:SU and a morphism g:TV, we define the morphism fg:STUV to be the function fg. Indeed, we have that degUV(f(s),g(t))=degU(f(s))+degV(g(t))degS(s)+degT(t)=degST(s,t), so fg is a morphism in FiltSet. Due to the associativity and commutativity of addition, as well as the natural associativity and commutativity (up to isomorphisms which are still isomorphisms in FiltSet) of the cartesian product, is naturally associative and commutative up to isomorphism. Additionally, the one-element set 1 equipped with deg1()=0 and unitor maps which are the same as in Set (which are, by their definition, filtered morphisms) provides a left and right unit for , making FiltSet a symmetric monoidal category. Remark. Suppose filtered sets S,T,U and filtered morphisms f:ST and g:SU. Then, the unique factoring function STU defined by s(f(s),g(s)) is only a filtered morphism STU if degT(f(s))+degU(g(s))degS(s), which does not hold in general. Therefore, does not provide a product except for when at least one of the sets has degree uniformly zero. However, FiltSet does have finite products ST where degST(s,t):=max(degS(s),degT(t)). We will not be using this construction. Remark. The set-theoretic disjoint union, with its degree function being the canonical factoring map to N of its components' degree functions, provides all finite coproducts in FiltSet. Definition 3. A filtered-morphism category C is a locally small symmetric monoidal category enriched over FiltSet, using FiltSet's filtered product as its monoidal structure. This expresses the notion of morphisms having degrees which are subadditive under composition in a way that naturally extends to a complexity constraint on transducers. As the monoidal identity of FiltSet is the single-element set with degree zero, the arrows IFiltSetHomC(A,A) providing the identity morphism idA in the enrichment construction will ensure that...

The current situation on the Lebanon border was one of a low-scale war and indications are that the IDF has to make a step to ensure Israelis can live in the north without fear of being massacred. This according to reserve Lt.-Col. Sarit Zehavi, a former intelligence officer and today CEO and founder of Alma research and education center. She told reporter Arieh O'Sullivan that there is no longer any deterrence and Hizballah has created a wanted escalation.

Hear from Ron Dembo, Founder and CEO of riskthinking.ai, as we apply stochastic thinking to the challenge of climate scenario analysis. One of the most difficult aspects of managing climate risk is its inherent uncertainty. Because we can't know with absolute confidence what our future climate, economy or society will look like, we therefore can't know exactly when, where, or how intensely climate risks will manifest. A technique commonly applied to this problem is scenario analysis. By building a picture of what the future might look like, firms can formulate risk management strategies appropriate for that scenario. However, today's guest believes we're only scratching the surface of what scenario analysis can do for our financial institutions. In today's episode, we'll home in on the idea of stochastic scenario analysis; what it is, how it works, and what makes it different to the traditional approach to scenario analysis. We'll explore: · The difference between deterministic and stochastic scenario analysis; · The advantages of using large sets of scenarios generated by expert judgment; and · What stochastic scenario analysis means for risk professionals.

Welcome to part two of Vinny's conversation with David Lawrence. Finding himself frustrated by the popular presentations about the nature of consciousness, David sought to explore the conventional wisdoms of pop culture, in particular the question of whether we have free will or are determined. In this conversation Vinny and David dive deep into the inner workings of human consciousness and ask some of life's toughest questions. Join Vinny and David as they ponder the toughest questions that life provides us. Today on The Vinny Brusco Show: Is determinism just another religion? Why being deterministic leads to a victims mentality The nature of consciousness Will our current understanding of science look like voodoo in the future? The mysteriousness of our world Why a culture that accepts determinism is doomed Connect with David Lawrence: Website: https://www.biochemicalrobots.com Connect with Vinny Brusco: Instagram: @thevbshow YouTube: www.youtube.com/@TheVinnyBruscoShow Website: www.vinnybrusco.com
