Gone are the days of forecasting for the year ahead. Spurred by the chaos of the pandemic and ongoing market uncertainty, CPG manufacturers and retailers must continually monitor the marketplace, weighing decisions against consumer behavior, macroeconomic factors and business strategies. Nagi Jonnalagadda, senior vice president, Global Products & Solutions at IRI, recommends companies change their approach to forecasts from point-in-time planning to scenarios with varying levels of confidence.      Highlights     Consumers are proving to be more resilient to dramatic price increases than expected. But they're now starting to change their shopping behaviors to manage inflation.  Forecasts should be considered scenarios with confidence intervals, with broad upsides and downsides and an agile approach as scenarios evolve.    Forecasting is now a blend of art and science with new tools and unlimited data inputs. The art is shutting out the noise to identify and monitor the right demand signals, focusing on what matters most to your business.   

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: Tracking the money flows in forecasting, published by NunoSempere on November 9, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This list of forecasting organizations includes: A brief description of each organization A monetary estimate of value. This can serve as a rough but hard-to-fake proxy of value. Sometimes this is a flow (e.g., budget per year), and sometimes this is an estimate of total value (e.g., valuation). A more subjective, rough, and verbal estimate of how much value the organization produces. This started as a breadth first evaluation of the forecasting system, and to some extent it still is, i.e., it might be useful to get a rough sense of the ecosystem as a whole. After some discussion on whether very rough evaluations are worth it (a), people who prefer their evaluations to have a high threshold of quality and polish might want to either ignore this post or just pay attention to the monetary estimates.

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: How bad could a war get?, published by Stephen Clare on November 4, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Acknowledgements: Thanks to Joe Benton for research advice and Ben Harack and Max Daniel for feedback on earlier drafts. Author contributions: Stephen and Rani both did research for this post; Stephen wrote it and Rani gave comments and edits. Previously in this series: "Modelling great power conflict as an existential risk factor" and "How likely is World War III?" Introduction & Context In “How Likely is World War III?”, Stephen suggested the chance of an extinction-level war occurring sometime this century is just under 1%. This was a simple, rough estimate, made in the following steps: Assume that wars, i.e. conflicts that cause at least 1000 battle deaths, continue to break out at their historical average rate of one about every two years. Assume that the distribution of battle deaths in wars follows a power law. Use parameters for the power law distribution estimated by Bear Braumoeller in Only the Dead to calculate the chance that any given war escalates to 8 billion battle deaths Work out the likelihood of such a war given the expected number of wars between now and 2100. Not everybody was convinced. Arden Koehler of 80,000 Hours, for example, slammed it as “[overstating] the risk because it doesn't consider that wars would be unlikely to continue once 90% or more of the population has been killed.” While our friendship may never recover, I (Stephen) have to admit that some skepticism is justified. An extinction-level war would be 30-to-100 times larger than World War II, the most severe war humanity has experienced so far. Is it reasonable to just assume number go up? Would the same escalatory dynamics that shape smaller wars apply at this scale? Forecasting the likelihood of enormous wars is difficult. Stephen's extrapolatory approach creates estimates that are sensitive to the data included and the kind of distribution fit, particularly in the tails. But such efforts are important despite their defects. Estimates of the likelihood of major conflict are an important consideration for cause prioritization. And out-of-sample conflicts may account for most of the x-risk accounted for by global conflict. So in this post we interrogate two of the assumptions made in “How Likely is World War III?”: Does the distribution of battle deaths follow a power law? What do we know about the extreme tails of this distribution? Our findings are: That battle deaths per war are plausibly distributed according to a power law, but few analyses have compared the power law fit to the fit of other distributions. Plus, it's hard to say what the tails of the distribution look like beyond the wars we've experienced so far. To become more confident in the power law fit, and learn more about the tails, we have to consider theory: what drives war, and how might these factors change as wars get bigger? Perhaps some factors limit the size of war, such as increasing logistical complexity. One candidate for such a factor is technology. But while it seems plausible that in the past, humanity's war-making capacity was not sufficient to threaten extinction, this is no longer the case. This suggests that wars could get very, very bad: we shouldn't rule out the possibility that war could cause human extinction. Battle deaths and power laws Fitting power laws One way to gauge the probability of out-of-sample events is to find a probability distribution, a mathematical function which gives estimates for how likely different events are, which describes the available data. If we can find a well-fitting distribution, then we can use it to predict the likelihood of events larger than anything we've observed, but within the range of the function describing the distribution. Several researchers have...

The recent death of Ayman al-Zawahiri marks a rare inflection point for a terrorist organization that has had just two leaders in the more than three decades of its existence. Forecasting its future trajectory—and developing counterterrorism policy—will depend on what type of leader emerges as Zawahiri's successor. Dr. Tricia Bacon and Dr. Elizabeth Grimm are the authors of a new book, Terror in Transition: Leadership and Succession in Terrorist Organizations. They join this episode to describe the five categories of leader they have identified by rigorously analyzing leadership succession in terrorist organizations. They also explain what each of those types of leader would mean for al-Qaeda going forward and why it is so crucial for counterterrorism policymakers and practitioners to understand these leadership types as they conceptualize the threat posed by the terrorist organization and seek ways to counter that threat.

What's ahead for Australia for the balance of this decade? That's what I discuss today with leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher. Forecasting is important because it can help us to make better investment and financial decisions. If we have a sense of where the world and our economy are going, we can prepare better. In theory, that's what forecasting should do. In practice, it's much harder as the world keeps throwing surprises at us. But if you've heard my chats with Simon before, you'll know how he shares great insights, so if you are interested in property investment, or just the future of our country and how it will relate to you, your job, and your prosperity I'm sure you'll get benefit from my chat so welcome to this week's show.

This week, host Tori Barlow is joined by Blake Williams, founder and CEO of Ampfactor. This episode is all about pitching your partner program like a pro and the best practices for getting your budget approved. Together they talk through all their best tips and tricks for forecasting and figuring out your financials!  

Is it possible to find financial security in uncertain times? Today on MoneyWise, we'll let you in on a few secrets for financial security. Full disclosure up front: These aren't really secrets. But they might as well be since so many people don't do them! TIPS FOR FINANCIAL SECURITY 1. Live on less than you earn. If you don't, there's no way to save and you'll almost always run up debt. But if you can get on a budget that allows you to live even a little below your means, you'll stay out of debt and have something to put in the bank for emergencies. Fail to do this and you're looking at a long, hard road full of financial potholes. The MoneyWise app makes setting up a budget a breeze. 2. Ignore investing experts on TV. This is especially true if they tell you to buy everything in sight when the market's up, or that the sky is falling and you need to sell now. The real secret to successful investing is to own quality index and mutual funds, along with some bonds, and to hold them for a very long time, regardless of what the market's doing. Unless you're a very savvy investor or have money that you can afford to lose, shy away from individual stocks. Forecasting the profitability of single companies is too complicated for the average investor. 3. Buy term life insurance to protect your loved ones. Avoid whole life and permanent policies that mix insurance with investments. Anything but term insurance is too expensive and won't give you the returns you can get by investing separately. 4. Get rid of credit card debt. Use the snowball method to pay down the smallest balance first, and then move on to the next. But you can only do this if you're following the first secret, live on less than you earn. That way you'll have extra each month to retire your credit card debt. Paying interest on consumer debt is like burning money. 5. Buy cars for the right reason. Cars are expensive and having sky high monthly payments on a car loan is a sure way to bust your budget. Buy cars for reliability and fuel efficiency, not to show off to the neighbors. 6. Be neighborly. There's more to relationships with those living around you than just being social. For example, a neighbor can be a source of tools you won't need to buy as long as it's a two-way street and you always return anything you borrow in good condition. Neighbors can also be a wealth of information about your area, like the best places to shop and what deals are out there. Just be sure to give as much as you receive. 7. Don't touch your retirement savings. Throughout your working years there will be many times when it seems like a good idea to tap into your 401k or IRA. But it's a quick, short term solution that'll cause long term pain. Instead, work diligently to build an emergency fund of 3 to 6 months living expenses. 8. Turn off the TV. How will that help? You won't be bombarded by advertising. Financial teacher Ron Blue likes to say that advertising convinces you to buy things you don't need and can't afford to impress people you don't like. The less advertising you see, the less likely you'll be to buy something on impulse that will almost certainly end up in a closet or out in the garage when the novelty wears off. 9. Pick inexpensive hobbies. Speaking of novelty wearing off, have you ever invested in a hobby that you later realized wasn't all that fun or interesting? Like taking up golf or scuba diving? These can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars just to get started. Instead, look for hobbies that have little or no ongoing costs. An example might be teaching yourself how to play a musical instrument or taking a class on building a website or cooking. You can do many of these things online now at relatively low cost. 10. Don't gamble. That includes not playing the lottery. You have better odds of being hit by lightning twice than winning what is really just a state-sponsored numbers racket. It's also bad stewardship. Gambling doesn't glorify God in how you use His money. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ● What is the best way to pay down a mortgage more quickly? ● What is an in-service distribution? ● When does it make sense to change up your investing strategy or allocations? ● How do you take distribution from a 401k? ● What are the financial considerations of investing in a family farm?

How can we change the way we think about expertise (or the trustworthiness of any information source) using forecasting? How do prediction markets work? How can we use prediction markets in our everyday lives? Are prediction markets more trustworthy than large or respectable news outlets? How long does it take to sharpen one's prediction skills? In (e.g.) presidential elections, we know that the winner will be one person from a very small list of people; but how can we reasonably make predictions in cases where the outcomes aren't obviously multiple-choice (e.g., predicting when artificial general intelligence will be created)? How can we move from the world we have now to a world in which people think more quantitatively and make much better predictions? What scoring rules should we use to keep track of our predictions and update accordingly?Peter Wildeford is the co-CEO of Rethink Priorities, where he aims to scalably employ a large number of well-qualified researchers to work on the world's most important problems.

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: ‘Dissolving' AI Risk – Parameter Uncertainty in AI Future Forecasting, published by Froolow on October 18, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. 1 - Summary This is an entry into the Future Fund AI Worldview contest. The headline figure from this essay is that I calculate the best estimate of the risk of catastrophe due to out-of-control AGI is approximately 1.6%. However, the whole point of the essay is that “means are misleading” when dealing with conditional probabilities which have uncertainty spanning multiple orders of magnitude (like AI Risk). My preferred presentation of the results is as per the diagram below, showing it is more probable than not that we live in a world where the risk of Catastrophe due to out-of-control AGI is

In this episode the guys talk about the process they go through when creating a budget for next year.

Today's guest is Rachel Delacour, co-founder and CEO of Sweep. Carbon accounting helps organizations measure their emissions so they can understand their overall footprint, share findings, and plan future reductions. Sweep's business intelligence tools specialize in using data to map a company's carbon emissions and helping them realize feasible goals while managing future growth. In doing so, Sweep is shifting the way companies view carbon from a limitation to a creative force for innovation.Rachel has a background in business intelligence, having sold her previous startup to Zendesk. She felt that she could best contribute to the climate problem by leveraging the skills and expertise she and her team already had around data management, modeling, and forecasting. Sweep recently announced a sizable Series B in funding led by Temasek, and they've raised over a hundred million dollars in aggregate in a little less than two years. In this conversation, Cody and Rachel discuss her journey, how Sweep views the market need, how companies source scope 3 emissions data, the potential role of regulation and carbon reporting, and whether or not recommending offsets or contributions creates any incentives. Rachel's story is great for people looking to make the transition, but not quite sure where to start. In this episode, we cover: [2:27] Rachel's financial background and climate journey[8:51] How she took existing skills and applied them to carbon[18:14] Sweep's approach to building a diverse team of experts from the carbon, tech, and political backgrounds[24:19] Rachel's views of carbon accounting vs. carbon management[29:15] An overview of scope 3 emissions[33:09] How companies are accessing accurate emissions data[38:32] The role of carbon management platforms in accelerating regulations[41:17] Sweep's success with companies so far[44:27] Future targets vs short-term reality in emissions reductions[48:59] Rachel's interactions with sustainability teams and financial directors[56:29] Where global climate justice fits into Sweep's solution[1:01:19] How Sweep balances customer reductions and credits[1:05:02] What's next for Rachel and SweepGet connected: Cody's TwitterRachel's TwitterSweepMCJ PodcastMCJ Collective*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded on September 7, 2022.
